Michael Jackson was seen shopping in Vegas with his three children: Paris, Prince and Prince II at Barnes and Nobel. What's abnormal about this - besides the fact that the children no longer have blankets covering their faces - is that Michael was being pushed in a wheelchair adorning a hat, glasses, his pajamas and slippers with a medical mask covering his face.
"He looks really frail," said photographer Mike Lopez, who captured several images of Jacko. "His skin was peeling and . . . he looks so thin and gaunt."... Jackson claims that he has skin problems causing him to have to be covered all the time.
After shopping, workers carried a box of books to their waiting SUV.
It's actually really sad to see what's come of this once somewhat handsome and awe inspiring pop star. I remember the Michael Jackson dolls, the red leather jacket, the sparkly glove - the true 80's icon.
Now Neverland Ranch in jeopardy, Jackson's health failing and well a certain number of accusations we won't get into. It's hard to believe that he may leave this world as a crazy leper that abuses children rather then the icon he once was. (Too harsh?)
I looooved Michael Jackson. Loooved. It's so horrible to see him fall, and not only fall but fall HARD.
There is no redeeming himself, no great comeback, just a sad sorry end.
