that's prince michael to you

I caught a sixty second promo from the new Michael Jackson interview yesterday. In it, he vehemently denies that he has had any plastic surgery on his face.

Um, Michael?

This would be an eminently more believable position to take if you still had a face.

His two older children, five-year-old Prince Michael I and four-year-old Paris, appeared on film with Jackson wearing party masks. He fed his third child -- who he has nicknamed Blanket -- a bottle of milk while draping a veil over his head.

*snip*

He revealed that after Paris was born "I snatched her and just went home with all the placenta and everything all over her. I'm not kidding. Got her in a towel and ran. They said it was fine... And I got her home and washed it all off."

*snip*

Jackson ended the 90-minute portrait with a poignant pledge: "If there were no children on this earth, if someone announced all kids were dead, I would jump off the balcony immediately."

I'm sure he loves children, and maybe not even in the bad way. I'm sure he genuinely feels that he wants to help children and make them happy. That in and of itself is a good thing. But he is not someone I would feel comfortable leaving small children with. However, he is not a well man, and should not be allowed to reproduce any more.

Because, hello, baby dangling.

I can't bear to look at him. His face looks like a mask, and what's with the simian upturned nose thing? I own a copy of Thriller--the person on the cover of that album's face is completely different from the Michael Jackson we see now. NO plastic surgery? What, huge ass car accident? Someone repeatedly beat him in the face with something? People's faces just don't do that naturally.

Blech!

Needless to say I will not be watching this interview.

I can't bring myself to watch it either. The thought of watching him spout his idiocies is just more than I can deal with.

Where's child protective services when you need them?

So how long before he pulls a total Howard Hughs and starts saving his poop in jars? Actually, I'm betting he already does.

Well, according to him, he carried his kids around, placenta and all. Poop isn't such a stretch from that.

And, for the record, ew.

Ahahaha! No plastic surgery? I suppose aliens abducted him and performed weird ass experiments on his face then.

Or I know! It's a medical condition that makes his face resemble a Planet of the Apes character.

I used to love Michael Jackson (circa Off The Wall and Thriller) but now, he just scares me.

LOL!

That's an X-File if there ever was one.
