Jackoâs whiter than white
Yes folks, there are some things stranger than Pakistan.
When a four-year-old boy called Kalien met Michael Jackson, he just didnât know what to make of him. The child shrank back in the arms of his grandfather, the singerâs physician Dr Allan Metzger. And he wasnât alone in his astonishment. The 45-year-old singerâs complexion drew gasps at the charity event in Beverly Hills. For he was whiter than the white partygoers. Jackson insists his appearance is due to the rare skin disorder vitiligo. An onlooker said: âIt looked as if heâd dunked his face in a bowl of talcum powder. But his face actually is that pale. He looks positively scary - like a ghost. âItâs hard to believe Michael Jackson used to be a black man. Now he looks like a very odd white woman.â
Itâll take me a week to get that image out of my head.
