I saw on the Today News this AM that Ebony Magazine's new cover will be Michael Jackson.. I have to wonder why they would put him on the cover when he has bleached his skin and narrowed his nose and done everything possible to look white.. He was a very handsome young black man that wasn't happy with who he was so tryed to be white...Why would anyone want to change races.. We are who we are on the inside no matter what happens to our outside! Any thought?

"We are who we are on the inside no matter what happens to our outside!" Well I guess they think he's still black on the inside even if he isn't black on the outside anymore LOL. I will say that he is a very troubled man that looks very creepy. Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka looked (and acted) more normal than MJ in my opinion...and Willy Wonka was pretty creepy too.

He does seem almost normal in the photos they showed on tv.. I bet he has something new coming up..This is most likely a promotion scam! oxxoxoxo

I completely agree with you. He was a very handsome young black man and now he barely looks human. Actually he gives me the creeps to look at him. He is a great example of what too much money and too little sense can do to a vain person.

I hink he is a little boy who has never grown up , He seems really immature to me , He is a gooentertainer but I don't think he was allowed to be a wee boy , He was such a good looking wee boy too , I feel sorry for him, I really do xx

I don't know Michael Jackson. All I know is what I read in the headlines. I'm not sure a lot of what I read is completely factual. I've read that Michaels "whitness" is caused by a skin disease, vitiligo, it's something to do with the pigment. As for his nose, who really knows what that is about. People have surgeries all the time and no-one worries. I feel kinda sorry for this celebrity. In my book, he is ok.

I don't think he knows what he is. I've never seen anyone butcher their looks so badly. Your right though that he was a nice looking young black man but I wouldn't put him on the cover of a magazine now. As far what he is inside...well, maybe they should do an indepth story on him rather than put his picture on the cover. "COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS" **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

I think that he is a very troubled man...never happy with his life or anything in it. Married and divorced within a few months, traveling the world while hiding himself from the public, buying loads of expensive knick knackes that he never sees... Apparently, he had a horrible childhood and it appears as though he will never "grow up"...which in an of itself is not a bad thing, but coupled with the trauma that he suffered as a child, can be a recipe for diaster.

I do think that many people do not have ideal childhoods but as adults we either cope or do not..I just find it curious that Ebony would embrace someone that has not embraced what they stand for. oxxoxo

I think he looked best when he was black. I read that he had the pigmentation problem and that started the color problem. I don't think that anybody would do that purposely. Then, we don't know their real problem. So I think we should just leave him on his own.
