Michael Jackson has been caught in the ladies toilets - applying make-up.
The eccentric star triggered a security alert in a Dubai shopping mall when he was spotted powdering his nose in the communal loos.
Jacko, wearing a woman's Arabic headscarf, wandered into the wrong toilets, removed his disguise and started applying rouge to his cheeks.
A woman, standing at the next mirror, reportedly squealed in horror when she recognised the singer's famous face, before taking photos on her mobile phone.
Jackson, who has been living in Bahrain since being cleared of sex abuse charges, let out a screech in return, which saw his bodyguards rush to his side.
The horrified woman - a Tunisian teacher - then told a frightened-looking Jackson she was going to take the photos to police, according to UAE newspaper Khaleej Times.
Fellow shoppers then saw the mall's guards try to take the phone off the woman, before cops turned up to break-up the struggle.
Jackson was seen being led away to a blacked-out car as the police squad arrived.
Dubai police have confirmed they attended the bizarre incident at the capital's Battuta Mall over the weekend.
Dubai police chief Abdul Jalil Mehdi said he had demanded the woman hand over her phone so he could delete the photos.
Under local law it is forbidden to take unauthorised pictures to sell for profit.
No action is to be taken against Jackson. Mehdi added: "The situation is sorted out."
Bush's Fault. Obviously a neocon conspiracy to outrage the modesty of Islamic women.
LOL...
Oh my! What's with the lollipop? He's just so disturbing.
I expected to see the by line say "The Onion". This is just too funny.
Soon to be recycled by Leno, Letterman, etc.
LOL!
It was the lack of urinals that threw up the red flag. The place was packed on a Saturday afternoon, but no one saw me go in or out, except my wife and the security cameras, I'm sure.
Crazy. It was like I was the Invisible Man. (no photos, please) I also skulked.
No, nothing strange about MJ.
Nothing at all.

LOL, yes I would. On his first go-around with a molestation charge I said I thought he was guilty and some guy was outraged and demanded to know how I could know that. I've looked at him, is how I replied.
So, was he holding his nose while powdering it and what kind of adhesive does he use to keep it on?
Ewwwwwwwwww.... I don't even want to think about it.
This is the part of the whole Jackson thing that freaks out my teenage kids too - they think he's a pervert too.
I didn't think he had a nose to powder. He was probably gluing it to his face.
Well good it's not just me.
Between you and me (no other Freepers read this part) I've never told this story of abject stupidity on my part to anyone before.
This is a shocker!
If you've always wanted to meet Jesse Jackson, you have your golden ticket!
Turd
To make matters worse, I had two different classes in the same building. One, on Tuesdays and Thursdays on the 2nd Floor and another class on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on the 3rd floor. Well, you see where this is headed....
On more than one occasion, while in a hurry, I came off the elevator on the wrong day and headed to the right door on the wrong day. On the most memorable of these occasions, I didn't realize my error until I was sitting in a stall contemplating my shoelaces. I heard the person in the stall next to me flush and looked over to see a cute little pair of suede shoes and socks with little Scottish Terriers stitched into them! A little muffled cough confirmed my fear.
Naturally, I sat.... and sat.... Oh my Lord! A two-flusher! She had a two-FLUSHER! It took her another 10 minutes to finish up and depart the bathroom. As soon as the door closed, I cooly got up, flushed and headed for the door. I took an extra glance around to make doubly sure. Sure enough, there were no urinals. I didn't even stop to wash my hands, I was out the door.
I calmly walked out the door and around the corner back to the elevator. I couldn't be seen on this floor again. Waiting at the elevator was a young lady. As I approached, she smiled and glanced down at my feet, turned a soft red color and chuckled to herself. I didn't want to, but I had to look down at her feet... Yep, sure enough, Scottish Terriers. On second thought, I'll take the stairs...
