PING!
Please FReepmail me (ShorelineMike) to be added to, or removed from, the Caption-A-Rama PING list.
Also, please FReepmail me if you spot a juicy thread.
Ya know. My father, may he rest in peace, had a wonderful cleft in his chin. Cary Grant, it looked marvelous, James Marsden, melts my heart.
Bought and stuck on MJ with Post-its! Not a pretty sight.
I had no idea Britney was a meth head.
Sort of looks like Julia Roberts with a butt for a chin.
Hat jammed on head, a shawl around the neck, those ever present sunglasses and a face covered in sticking plasters.
Yes, it’s Michael Jackson on another “incognito” shopping trip.
Accompanied by his children Prince, 10; Paris, nine; and five-year-old Blanket, the troubled 49-year-old star enjoyed a late-night visit to a bookshop in Las Vegas.
After three hours in the Shakespeare, science fiction and children’s sections, he left with several boxes full of reading matter.
“If Michael wanted to go unnoticed he could hardly have failed more spectacularly,” said a source.
“He removed his shades only to put on his reading glasses and help his children make their selections.
“Not only did his bizarre army jacket and headscarf combination draw attention to itself, but his chin and mouth were covered in small surgical plasters.
“If he has not had any more cosmetic work carried out, perhaps he just wants to protect his face and the procedures he has already had done.
“Whatever the explanation, he was looking stranger than ever.”
Meanwhile, the singer is in talks to make his comeback with a series of gigs in London, it has emerged.
He is lined up to do several shows.
Promoters want him to recreate his classic Thriller album at the O2 Arena next spring to mark the record’s 25th anniversary.
According to reports, the shows will run throughout March and April at the former Millennium Dome.
“They’d be stripped down, and not big productions.
“Fans would be expected to travel to Jackson rather than make him go round the world” according to one U.S. report.
Tickets are expected to cost hundreds of pounds, as Jackson is said to be in debt to the tune of more than £165 million. Rod Stewart’s former co-manager Randy Phillips is understood to be behind the plan.
Sources say Phillips and Jackson have met several times, and that Michael “is in good shape”.
However there are still obstacles to standing in the way of the O2 run of shows - namely insurance and, apparently, Jackson’s often flaky mental health.
Jackson, 49, was widely criticized when he fleetingly performed live at the World Music Awards in London in November 2006. It had been his first public performance since his acquittal on child molestation charges a year-and-a-half before.
A 25th anniversary version of the top-selling album Thriller, called Thriller 25, is set for release in February 2008. It originally sold more than 50 million copies and won eight Grammy Awards.

He is then expected to release a ‘comeback album’ - which reportedly will include collaborations with rappers and producers Kanye West, will.i.am and Akon plus rare as-yet-unheard material from the time he made Thriller.
It was reported last year that Jackson is also lined up to play 250 concerts in Las Vegas over the three years from next autumn, when Jackson will be 50.
Further concerts, across America were reported to have been arranged to clear Jackson’s debts.
Jackson became a pariah after allegations of child molestation in December 2003. He was acquitted of all ten counts but his career – already long wanting a hit album – had gone into freefall.
His debts forced him to sell his Neverland ranch and he has since lived a somewhat nomadic existence.
A source said: “Yes it is true that Michael Jackson is in serious talks with AEG Live to do a series of concerts.
“He will have a mini residency with them, so will be doing about seven to ten days.
“This is quite an exciting time for them because he is still considered an icon. Although talks are in the initial stages, it all looks set to go.”
Flora my love!
I wonder if he’s cutting himself. Maybe some self-surgery at the mirror with an x-acto knife. Bandaids to cover the marks.
wow. What an amazing self destruction.
Michael Jacko: human bulletin board.
That is just gross!
Maybe his lips fell off and he taped them back on?
By some, maybe, but he's considered a nut by yours truly!
He looks like Gary in Team America going to try his “acting” on the terrorists.
The child’s name is actually “Blanket”?
Huh?

Here is a bit more Info——
A top UK plastic surgeon, Alex Karidis, told The Sun: “He looks extremely strange, almost as if he’s cut himself shaving.
“The plasters look really haphazard. It’s very, very odd. The only plastic surgery that might remotely require dressings around the lips is laser treatment to get ride of lines and creases. But that is really for people over 55.”
Jacko was wondering around US bookshop Barnes & Noble with his children Prince, Paris and Blanket.

Dang, that’s the second time I’ve seen that poor baby called Blanket.
