1. Is that Ann Coulter

with black hair?

[bywho4who]

8. Ann Coulter LOL

Yeah!Yeah! thats the ticket



:smoke: :hippie:

[meisje]

2. can you imagine

waking up to that after being fed pills and wine?

[opihimoimoi]

3. Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pruner]

5. LMAO!

:puke:

[elperromagico]

4. He looks like a Punch and Judy doll n/t

[caledesi]

6. OMG! He looks like a "humanoid"...he used to be so cute.

I hope all of this is not true (I do have my reservations).

[BiggJawn]

7. Move over, Keith Richards....

You're no longer the scariest-looking person in music anymore...

[Field Of Dreams]

9. Okay, just when I thought Nick Nolte had the worst

celebrity mug shot.

[incontrovertible]

10. at what point does calling Michael Jackson a pedophile...

...become an insult to pedophiles?

Think we're already there? Think people call known pedophiles "Michael Jackson?" I'd imagine so.

[izzie]

11. Sad business.

I do think these rich think they can do anything they like. Jackson and Rush this month, both the rich that fell anything goes, Couse it is the poor that are morally ill and need to go to jail. Right?

[Myra]

12. Yeah, 'Merkan "justice" is only for the poor

That's been proven over (OJ), and over (Patsy Ramsey),
and over (Robert Durst).

Now we get to watch the Phil Spector/Michael Jackson
shams. Both in the works for a while but officially
launched to distract from the huge London Bush protest.

Hm, should be interesting to observe the Robert Blake case.
He's famous but I don't think he's got a ton of money.
Well, he probably has a super slick pro bono attorney
who's eager for the publicity.

[Renew Deal]

13. Well....

That's nice. How is this guy going to hold up in prison?

[Rex]

14. What the fuck has that guy done to himself?

I remember being a teen and thinking the video/song "Thriller" was the coolest thing on TV/MTV. Now Mike looks like one of the ghouls in that video.

You have to wonder why none of his rich and powerful friends ever stepped in and forced Mike to get professional help. They must all be insane.

[remfan]

25. I'm wondering what kind of surgeon agreed to do the last

half dozen or so surgeries.

[Sapphocrat]

15. WARNING: For strong stomachs only!

If you think that's bad, you ain't seen NOTHIN' yet... Today's mug shot actually looks BETTER than usual. Dig this photo from a 2002 court appearance (and don't say I didn't warn you):



"In his zeal to have this sharply defined nose, he's had so many things done, the tissue is no longer able to withstand it. The skin is so thin from operations that the bone or cartilage or silicone implant is pushing through," said Dr. Les Bolton, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon. "If what is protruding is artificial material such as an implant, the treatment of choice would be to remove the implant, let the nose heal and reconstruct it later with some of his own tissue, such as cartilage from the ear or bone from the rib."

"What he's done is to go from a Negroid or black nose, which is round and broad and flat, to a Caucasian nose that's narrow and projecting," said Dr. Harvey Zarem, a former chief of plastic surgery at UCLA who practices in Santa Monica. "To do that, you have to put cartilage or silicone or bone in the nose like a tent stake to make the nose stick out. But when you do that enough, the cartilage or silicone or bone pokes through."

"Clearly, he had some sort of nasal-tip disaster," said Dr. Gerald Imber, a celebrity plastic surgeon based in Manhattan. "What probably happened is that he had some sort of support put in there and the tissue broke down. Now, it looks like he has skin grafts or something to close it up. A collapsed nose is very unusual -- I've never seen one, and I've done 15,000 rhinoplasties."

And he was such a cute kid!

16. Agh!

Look at how he looks with like a goatee, sheesh. That is worse, and thanks for warning me, I think I am gonna call in sick again tommorow, not sure yet must hold strong.

[Baconfoot]

20. Uh... in that picture he has a flesh-toned bandage on his nose. So...

we don't know what he REALLY looked like.

The following quote is from that same website (http://www.snopes.com/photos/jackson.asp):
"Viewers who did not look closely at the photographs taken the second day (such as the one shown above) and failed to realize Jackson was wearing bandage matching the color of his skin might have concluded that the wrinkled, irregular surface of his nose and the fleshy substance dangling from it were his natural appearance, rather than the texture of the bandage covering it. Possibly some of the surgeons who commented on the state of Jackson's nose were similarly misled by these pictures. "

17. He still looks more vibrant than Maria Shriver Schwartzenegger.

[elperromagico]

21. Yes, poor Maria looks awful

If Arnold did that to her, just think what he's going to do to California.

[drfemoe]

18. You know he has a "double"

How do we know that's the real MJ?

[fujiyama]

19. My God

What the hell is that thing?!

[opihimoimoi]

22. Triple YIKES!!!

[RebelOne]

23. Well, at least his nose looks almost normal.

[kentuck]

24. I almost hope he is guilty.....

Otherwise, the guy has already been convicted and crucified. :(

[Karenina]

29. Don't lose any sleep over it.

I am personally aware of children he molested 20 years ago. Perhaps this time his money will not buy him an aquittal. The saddest part of the circus is that this abuser is now being used to abuse the American public. It's SOOOOO SICK. :puke: :puke: :puke:

[NicoleM]

26. "No wire hangers EVER!!"

He looks like Mommie Dearest.

[Ilsa]

33. Yeah, I was thinking Betty Davis.

But i don't know why he'd want to look like her.

He just looks awful.

[NashVegas]

36. No Kidding - And Compare it to THIS!

[sendero]

27. wow

5'11" at 120 lbs? wow, for a guy that is practically emaciated.

[Ilsa]

35. I think his starvation is affecting his brain. n/t

[LuCifer]

28. 5'11" and 120 LBS??!?!!

Did I read that right? What the? Is he annorexic too?

And, I do find it slightly odd that this story breaks ON THE SAME DAY that the Mass. gay marrage thing breaks.

[OneTwentyoNine]

30. Damn...I knew it would happen!! They arrested Diana Ross...crap! n/t

[Mentalist]

31. Only in America

can a talented young black man grow up to be a rich white women.

[EV1Ltimm]

32. latoya! noooooooo!!!!

[DEM FAN]

34. It's Really Michelle Jackson.

;-)

[Cooley Hurd]

37. I imagine the officer doing the "booking" did a double-take...

...when he filled in the part about "race."

[ElsewheresDaughter]

38. Weapon of Mass Distraction ...and rove machine has sucked ya'll into it

[Ripley]

39. Joan Crawford Lives!!!

Why would he choose her to resemble? I mean if I had my face totally reconfigured I'd at least go for the Rita Hayworth look.

[Tripper11]

40. My 6 year old just commented when she saw the mug shot....

"That's a boy??"

I was showing my wife MJ pics from the Off The Wall era, then the one where his nose is all freaky, and finally, the mug shot...and when our daughter heard us talking about "him" she was shocked to say the least.

[YNGW]

41. Make-up

I can't tell. Is that Estee Lauder or Cover Girl make-up?

:nopity:

lyihartt

[Brewman_Jax]

42. At least he was arrested and booked

for the crimes of which he is accused, which is more than can be said for Rush.

You can see what Michael and Rush don't have in common...

hmmm... :think:

[Jacobin]

43. What an edifying and useful addition this is to "political discussion"

Is Skinner sleeping late this morning.

Have the admins turned over monitoring this board to their teeny daughters?

[Walt Starr]

44. Jackson will be acquitted

He's a rich men and rich men follow a different set of rules from average people. Laws do not apply to the rich.
