Michael Jackson Thread - Keep all your MJ chat in here!
As reported yesterday, Michael Jackson is featured in the October issue of L’uomo Vogue (Italian Vogue for men). The 25-page spread is to honor the 25th anniversary of Jackson's mega-selling album 'Thriller'. Check the scans from the shoot below:
In other MJ news, famed fashion designer Roberto Cavalli is reportedly working on a new look for the King of Pop to coincide with the release of his new album next year.

This pic reminds me a lot of this pic:
So, new rumours have surfaced that Vogue magazine will feature 25 pages on the King of Pop, huh? I hope theres an interview, with info on a new album, or even a tour! Though the latter is purely wishful thinking
The last pics the best, I reckon they should have had that one on the cover, his facial expression is very bad-era-esque, but then again it's a fashion magazine so they probably wanna concentrate on the clothes
He don't look like he used to
but he don't look god awful either. Reminds me a lot of the Dangerous era, I'm glad that he hasn't gone OTT with the outfits, he looks smart, and if he wants to appeal to the public again, I think he should avoid all the drag. The pics are nice for someone who's hitting the big five-o next year. Now how about some music?

Michael Jackson
by Brace Weber
by Roberto Croci
«I love you», whispered the King to his future Queen, ending the long day events with such beautiful wisdom. Only then, the villagers started celebrating, dancing and shouting hundreds of cheers everywhere in the kingdom of Vogueland. The mighty King had finally found his companion: a beautiful, courageous and magical princess, who, after a long journey saw, all her dreams come true. Even the wizard was respectful and all thumbs up for the king's choice, so much than with few words, he had sealed her fate: "A star is born". Let me introduce myself, ladies and gentlemen, I am the storyteller, and my assignment is to show you step by step L'Uomo Vogue's magical quest in photographing Michael Jackson (The King of Pop), thanks to Bruce Weber (the wizard) and fashion editor Rushka Bergman (the princess), all of it for the 25th Anniversary of the release of "Thriller", the most successful and most sold album in the entire world. September 14th 2007. From L.A. to New York, here I am. The doorman opens the door and Rushka Bergman - long satin jet-black hair, with 60's old vintage glasses - walks out welcoming me with a strong east European accent: «How are you darling?». I want to know all that happened before my arrival to the Four Seasons Hotel, few minutes away from Michael Jackson. On august 22nd, Rushka talks to her agent, Marek, suggesting him the photo shoot with Michael Jackson, in lime for the 25th anniversary release of "Thriller". She prepares a letter for Jackson's agent, Raymone K. Bain. We will see what happens next.
September 2nd. Broadway, right in front of the Angelika Theater. The phone rings. It's Raymone confirming the photo shoot. «Oh my god! Dreams do come true. Michael Jackson will be available on the 14,15,16 of September. September 5th. Fortunately for us, Weber, booked solid for the next 6 months, is available for those three days. «I was nervous. He is like a god to me, then I thought, who better than him knows fashion photography. It was enough to calm me down». It's up to the fashion editor to line up the photographer, hair&make up, talent & plan the shoot. Sometimes it is more important than the styling itself. «For someone like me, who knows Engels and Marx by heart, this is the easy part. Michael loves the Uomo Vogue look, elegant, classy, white shirts, black jackets. His favorite is Roberto Cavalli, they are great friends... but I like to mix & match and it is my job to speak my mind», says Rushka. September 6th-13th. Everybody is confirmed. «I was on the phone the whole week. I got 300 looks from 62 designers, 178 pairs of shoes. Michael loves a military coat, Burberry's. l've got clothes from every designer in the world, Paris, London, New York, Milan. No one said no to us. I even got some incredible sequins shirts that weigh 8 pounds! The King of Pop had the best clothes in the planet!». September 14th, the Four Season Hotel. The day before the shoot, Rushka is nervous but focused. We are riding a cab. With us, 20 racks of clothes. We got everything, except fur, Michael doesn't like them. We walk through the hotel, everybody stands still. We even passed the jeweler security checks, $ 2 million worth of diamonds! «I see Michael for the very first lime. He's sexy. My heart is beating. After I finished, he says to me: Rushka I like everything you chose, please, help me getting dressed». Michael wears a small size, like a model. Dior is the perfect fit for him. All the others required minimum fitting. «Now it's my turn. l've got to satisfy Michael Jackson, the magazine, Weber, the designers, all without compromising my style, my choices», says Rushka. Once back in her apartment she will focus on the looks for the shoot. But once in bed... it was hard to sleep «all night, I kept waking up. Millions of thoughts in my head. At 8 a.m. I got tip and went to the set». September 15th, 10 am, on the set. While Kabuki applies the make up and Bruce prepares everything else, Rushka starts dividing the clothes: jackets, pants, accessories, shoes. The first look is ultimately the cover look: Dior Homme suit, Prada shoes: everything black! Jacob & Co. necklaces. «It was a complete partnership while, I just gave some clothes and he put them on. I told him that this was the best I could get», says Rushka. 3 p.m. «Mozart music in the background. A positive energy carne over the set, everyone was focused but happy at the same time. It's like when you have lots of people who are trying to make something happen... if their energy is true, it will happened, don't matter how long you wait for it. Sooner or later, the magic moment hits you. That's when we put on "Thriller", everybody started to dance and then... all of a sudden... he carne in. "Hello". Michael Jackson stepped in front of the camera, looked at us and dance showing off the moves that made him famous! It was miracle magic. After that, he never stopped. Professional, genius, he was him who look us by hand through the whole shoot. He let us in his world. And while Jackson was dancing, Bruce was shooting away. Another genius!». 10 p.m. «After 5 looks and hundreds of pictures, we finished the shoot. He got up and carne to me: "I love you baby", he said. Then he shook my hand and thanked everybody, and I mean everybody. We applauded him for what looked like an eternity». September 16th. The day after Rushka feels like a different person. «I felt I learned something, like something happened in my life, something I can never forget. Like I knew what I was gonna do for the rest of my life not bad for a day's work».

I'm happy for him, I really am! But wtf is up with the puppy dog eyes pic...that is some horrifying shiz right there 
Other than that, damn. He's got shinier hair than me! And although I wont sleep very well for a while after seeing these, I really like his coat

After all MJ has been through I can't help feel sorry for the poor guy
Regarding that puppy pic maybe he was inspired by the kitty in Shrek
Anyway, I always thought they tell you what to wear and how to stand and behave etc in a photoshoot
I liked his coat too, a nice change from all the military jackets and sequined ****. It's burberry, the REAL stuff, not the crap that chavs wear........Actually seeing MJ as a chav would be quite interesting. Come to think of it, I think he did do a photoshoot where he was wearing chavvy clothing, but this was BEFORE the chav era ofcourse, I think it was sometime in the 90's.

Still a legend.

The amount of make-up he has in this shot looks good on him, he usually over does it. And he needs to get rid of the weave/wig/hair extensions whatever the heck it is and LMAO at the expressions on Sharpton and J. Jackson's face :
: he wouldent look to bad in that pic (considering the mess he's made of his face), if as you say..he got rid of the silly wig and got something more suitable..the outfit and the sunglasses are quite cool.

It's not a wig.

I can't help seeing a significantly less cute version of Bjork when I look at them. :| It's pretty scary, actually.

the thing is, he used to be really good looking, even when he had his nose done, but was still black... it's a shame he took it to such lengths.
i wonder what he would look like now if he hadn't have had any surgery...
i wonder what he would look like now if he hadn't have had any surgery...
someone did a computer photo thing to see what he would look like without surgery...
