Balding star's wiggo Jacko

Don't crop till you get enough ... Jacko in what experts claim is wig

EXPERTS yesterday claimed to have spotted the bald truth about Michael Jackson — he wears a WIG.

Wacko Jacko’s mad dash to court in his pyjamas is said to have let the cat out of the bag on his syrup.

Photos of the star’s bonce appeared to show a mesh cap with false hair sewn in.

Top British hairdresser Feleny Georghiou — whose clients include Victoria Beckham and the Duchess of York — declared: “It is definitely a wig ... and one of the worst I have ever seen.”

Feleny, who works at swanky North London salon Connect, explained: “The big giveaway is at the top of the forehead where you can quite clearly see where the hair has been sewn in.

“When he turned up in court from his hospital bed on Thursday his hair was just too perfect to be his own.

“It was pristine. Only hair from a wig falls in that way.”

 

Pater Pan ... how Peter Pan of
pop Jacko would look bald
 

 

Hair experts in the US — where Jacko, 46, is on trial accused of child abuse — agreed with her.

Top stylist Yolanda Perez, 42, said: “It is absolutely a wig.”

Fellow New York crimper Mario Carrasco said: “It’s possible he might have hair.

“But these are pieces — hair extensions. The wind was blowing, and his hair was moving, but just the outer layer. Human hair would open up and fly all over the place.”

Wig consultant Alexis Rodriguez, 34, said Jacko appeared to have shelled out hundreds of pounds on what she described as a “lace-front wig with a microfilament cap”.

Jacko normally gets up at 4.30am to get ready for court — but on Thursday he was in a tearing hurry after being treated for an injured back.

He was an hour late arriving for his trial and was threatened with jail.

US TV reporter Diane Dimond said: “He looked worse than I’ve ever seen him.”

• JACKSON’S pals fear the pressures of the trial may cause him to kill himself. Sources close to the singer said his back problem was really a symptom of his fragile mental state.

I'm not usually one for showbiz news, but I thought that this might be found as amusing to some.

[MikefromOhio]

not only that, but where's his scalp? Most normal humans regardless of race have a scalp that can be seen through their hair....

[BJungNan]

The second hairless picture is a big improvement.

[SweetCaroline]

I said that weeks ago. Of course I was a wig stylist!

[Fudd Fan]

fragile mental state?! Gimme a break. Fragile hairline is more like it.

JACKSON’S pals fear the pressures of the trial may cause him to kill himself. Sources close to the singer said his back problem was really a symptom of his fragile mental state.

Wigged out or not, he will not off himself. He might make a gesture like take some pills and wash it down with alcohol while phoning several friends and family, but he will not kill himself.

Why? Because women attempt suicide about 10X more often than men, but men succed more/attempt. Men shoot themselves or sit in a running car in their garage. Women make the gesture. And he ain't a guy.

[Fudd Fan]

Great point! Even if he WERE a guy, he ain't a grown-up one.

[CalRepublican]

I wondered if I'd be the only one that thought that.

Of course, he actually looks there like he might be a man (even with the makeup) and I don't think that's the look he's going for.

[rockrr]

I'm surprised your post didn't say, "Ha ha! Made ya look!"

[Fudd Fan]

I've thought this was a wig for as long as we've seen the comings and goings into this court case. It's just too perfectly straight and full to be his own.

[MikefromOhio]

I think it started to be a wig right after "Bad" came out. Look at him then and now.

[Fintan]

Call me crazy, but I think his nose is fake too.

[B.O. Plenty]

...he wears a WIG.....a wig is fake hair....

Heck, that ain't the worst part,,,,,Michael Jackson wears a fake face.

[COUNTrecount]

You are correct.

[gg188]

To legal eagles out there: is it normal for a judge to allow the defendant in a criminal trial to appear in the courtroom in disguise---wig, makeup? Also---how about pajamas? Judge Judy throws women out for midriff-baring tanks. I am sure she would not allow pj's.

[MikefromOhio]
