And in closing: Don't be afraid, its only Michael Jackson

Purposely distracting ourselves for a bit, The World Music Awards takes place tonight in the UK and as you know the so called king of pop is set to take the stage to collect an award and we think perform as well. The photo (right) however doesn't show a healthy someone who is supposed to perform. instead MJ looks like the character powder in the movie "Powder". Could he be the first black man who really does need a tan? Can he even get a tan? Wait no he can't be in sunlight! WOW! Can he make comeback? Many think not. The media greeted the announcement with some unease, saying the gig could become a freak show rather than a triumphant return for one of the top-selling artists of all time. "Be afraid, be very afraid," was how top-selling daily newspaper The Sun reacted. "He looks dreadful and hasn't performed for years -- I fear it's going to be a humiliating freak show which he will regret. "Music experts agree that the man who brought us the moonwalk and hits like "Beat It" and "Billie Jean" will struggle to get anywhere near the heights he achieved in the 1980s. "I would say there's very little chance of him coming back from where he is," said Gareth Grundy, deputy editor of the Q music magazine. Doubts surround Michael Jackson comeback bid [Reuters]
