Must be those fake eyelashes that appeal so much to women. Totally repulsive when he takes off the mask.

EXETER, England (Reuters) - Michael Jackson was knocked to the ground Friday by excited fans fighting to touch the pop legend at a London railway station.
The American superstar, jostled and pushed in the melee, was lucky to escape injury as mass hysteria gripped his die-hard admirers.
"It was just horrifying ... he was knocked to the ground," said spoon-bending psychic Uri Geller who had invited Jackson on a fund-raising charity trip to the southwest English city of Exeter.
"I honestly thought we wouldn't make it and we would end up in hospital," Geller told Reuters Television after battling to get aboard the "Jackson Express."
"For a moment I thought he would faint. But then he suddenly looked at me and said 'I love these people' and I said 'Are you okay?' He said 'I am okay' and kept waving to his fans," Geller added.
Geller, who is hoping to raise money for a children's charity and his third division English soccer club Exeter, said he had never before experienced anything like the screaming mob.
"I have been around for 35 years. I have met Elvis Presley, Elton John, John Lennon, all the Beatles. I have never ever seen anything like that and I hope I never will see it again. Michael was crushed," Geller said.
Bedlam erupted as Jackson and his entourage arrived at London's Paddington station to board the train to Exeter as a screaming mob of fans from all corners of the globe tried to get close to their idol.
Each excitably clutching a $150 "ticket to ride," 100 die-hard Jackson fans clambered aboard the train for "country away day" with the star.
The scene at the station was pure chaos, recalling Beatlemania back in the 1960s.
Scuffles erupted and extra police were called as the fans surged forward on the platform.
The scene was in stark contrast to a rather more sedate tour the Jackson team took through the echoing halls of the Houses of Parliament in central London.
"I want that," the pop legend told his entourage as he admired the throne where Britain's monarch sits once a year to formally open parliament in the ornate House of Lords.
"Can you get it up to the ranch?" one of his assistants asked three burly bodyguards.
Jackson, accompanied by Geller and escapologist David Blaine, showed particular interest in the extensive House of Lords library. "Do they have cartoons?" Jackson asked.
Blaine asked librarians to track down a copy of a 400-year-old book of magic -- "The Discovery of Witchcraft." "They burned most of the copies," he explained.
It was not Pricilla Presley, it was the daughter of Elvis Presley that was in love with, and who married M.Jackson, Lisa Marie Presley.
Those who think that the only child of Elvis Presley needs "something else" to become a celebrity, is grasping for straws.
Both Lisa and M.Jackson proclaimed many times that the marraige was not a sham, that they loved each other, that they had sex as husband and wife, and Lisa never was with any other man as long as she was with M.Jackson.
Lisa Presley could have nearly any man in america, but she chose M.Jackson because of his unsurpassed sex appeal.
George Nader -- obituaryUniversal left him in little doubt about where his true talents lay: “I was asked to remove my shirt an awful lot,” he recalled, although, unlike many of his colleagues, he was not in the habit of shaving his chest.
To burnish Nader’s virile image, Universal arranged “dates” for him with many of his leading ladies, including Mitzi Gaynor (his co-star in Down Among the Sheltering Palms, 1953) and Coleen Miller (his co-star in Four Guns to the Border, 1954). The studio was even said to have spread a rumour that he had got two waitresses pregnant.
Mamie van Doren, with whom he starred in The Second Greatest Sex (a musical about women going on a sex strike), gamely played up to the fiction: “Nader was more than beefcake,” she said, “he was the whole goddam dessert trolley.”
Uhhhhh, I think EVERYONE knows that M.Jackson's look is faked.
I cant think of anyone that is stupid enough to think he looks that way naturally. Doesnt matter. It works. Women adore him knowing full well that he wears makeup and that he had cosmetic surgery to make his features softer.
Lots(MOST!!???) of guys will lie, and fake their images to get women to be interested in them, to get into their pants, but none the other men are anywhere near as successful as M.Jackson.
Must be those fake eyelashes that appeal so much to women. Totally repulsive when he takes off the mask.
Moronic Statement of The Month.
Folks we have a WINNAH!!!!
He is not "a known child molestor and rapist". He was accused of doing such things. But M.Jackson was never convicted of anything.
The criticisms here have nothing to do with his success. By most measures, Bill Clinton is successful, and has lots of women that are hot for him (as nauseated as that idea makes me). What the hell does that have to do with his morality, or lack thereof? Charles Barkley, as a counterexample, is rich, successful, and I'm sure lots of women find him hot too. But he's real, and I'm not jealous of his success. It's not ALWAYS about envy, you know.
I posted it early in the day, to minimize the risk of nightmares.
QUESTION: What do Michael Jackson and K-Mart have in common?
ANSWER: They both have little boys underpants half off.
Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. You cant think of ANY?? other man who has so large of an enthusiastic female following either? Shame on you!
I am afraid the one who is the moron, is the one who cant find any other man who has more millions of females falling over him in public. But even a moron should be able to find at least "one"? man who has more sex appeal than M.Jackson. Try again.
Historically, the Beetles, and Elvis Presley came close to having as many female admirers as M.Jackson, but they are dead, so they dont count.
Because he couldn't spell "Pathetic."
You are right. It has nothing to do with morality. I am no fan of M.Jackson, nor Clinton,or their accused immorality.
But what I am saying is that what many men want, is to get females to persue them. Many men lie, cheat, and steal to get women, and others(many of them married) dream about having other women. Many men try to change their image, lying about their wealth, job, covering up gray hair, etc.
Women do the same thing in having cosmetic surgery and wearing makeup and nail polish, shaving off body hair, and having their hair done. The appearances of many(ALL?) women is just as fake and artificial.
But to criticize M.Jackson or Clinton for not being attractive, or appealing to women, is ludicrous.
Those 2 (and many other men) don't care if their image is real or not, they want women, and they get them. They know what women are attracted to, and many men would like females to persue them with the same gusto that the M.Jackson and Clinton followers do.
Making fun of the image of these guys is simply envy. Criticizing someone(male or female) who shaves off body hair or has cosmetic surgery or wears makeup to attract the opposite sex is denying the truth and stupid.
Who cares what is ""real""?????
A woman who does not wear makeup , who does not shave her underarms nor legs, who does not have her facial hair removed, who does not have her hair done, who has an A cup and does not have breast surgery, or a nose job, or is older with sagging breasts down to her waist without a bra, may be """real""" too, but so what, nobody wants them even if they are real ?
"real" has nothing to do with it. Nor is "real" desirable to the opposite sex.
If M.Jackson never had changed his appearance, he would not have the hundreds of millions of dollars that he has, and he would not have the millions of females panting after him.
Just who do you think is smarter, M.Jackson or you? (We already know who is richer and more sought after)
