Does anyone else wonder if the real Mike didn't switch out with an imposter years and years ago? I mean we could be talking about something like the full blown buba-hotep Elvis situation.
Seriously though I can understand the plastic surgery, but the guy is white now, and I thought the disease he was supposed to have only made parts of you skin white.
Anyway I still say it is some lunatic who has the real Michael locked up in his basement somewhere.

I had that exact same theory! There was also an Onion article a little while ago that was about the same thing. If enough of us come to the same conclusion, even if the conclusion is reached in jest, perhaps we are correct...

It only makes part of your skin white, but the treatment is to either fill in the spots or remove all pigment. If it has progressed too far they just remove the pigment. No one wants to look spotted.

If his plastic surgery had only been about dealing with a skin complaint, that would have been one thing. But Jackson also seems to have altered his facial features to try to resemble caucasians.
It's just so very sad. You see pictures of the beautiful, normal looking little kid he once was and wonder what on earth went wrong there.

Years ago there were stories in the media that Jackson wanted/ bid for the Elephant Man's remains. An odd story.
Then it turned out that Jackson's PR people had planted the story. Now most people view him as a freak, for various reasons.
So what? He encouraged the perception of his oddness with bizarre PR like that, so I have no sympathy for him.

Another young Sith Lord who fell away. He wouldn’t let his anger feed him and always ran back to the Jedi temple to be with the younglings. So close were we to having a very powerful Sith leader here.

Just for the record...I am so sick of hearing about Michael Jackson that I could scream.

At least now we can tell the difference between Michael, Janet and LaToya...

Growing up a star is what went wrong.

Is anyone else seriously creeped out by the trailers for "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?"

Yes indeed! Umm Willie is about as creepy as they come.
I really miss Gene Wilder in the movies and this just makes me miss him more. Gene was manic as Willie Wonka but not, umm, Michael Jacksonesque.
Anyone wanna bet this kills the Willie Wonka candy sales?

I was actually very disappointed with Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka when the movie came out in the early 70s. My friends and I were SOOOO into the book and soooo excited for the movie that it was really a let down.
He was just too weird in all the wrong ways. Too blonde and too tall.

Here's my question... who would YOU cast as Willy Wonka? (just any old you)
Please don't hurt me, but I always invisioned Robin Williams as Willy Wonka
