Is This The Number You're Thinking Of?
Filed under: Music Minute > Michael Jackson
What a cheap parlor trick!
Is this Michael Jackson's way of cheating on his homework?
Apparently, Wacko has hired illusionist David Copperfield to add a little smoke and mirrors to MJ's upcoming O2 Arena residency, where he will perform 50 concerts - or so they want us to believe.
In one of the centerpieces of the show, there will be some high wire routines and a levitation act. Additionally, an order has gone out for 100 mirrors and a ton of dry ice.
Rehearsals kick off next month, although MJ has already been hitting the dance studio to get in gear.
One thing's for sure…the space cadet usually seems to be walking on the moon!

How come this wack job didn't come to your sauseage fest mario?
something seems fishy about this.
PEREZ HILTION, COME TO THE RESCUE!!!
Hi, my name is Kunoor Ojha, and I want you to come to the rescue.
Help Invisible Children, an organization committed to peace in Uganda, to stop the violence by putting your fame and influence to good use. Attend a rescue event at a city near you!
On April 25th, in thousands of cities, thousands of people will be abducting themselves to mimic the thousands of children abducted and forced to become child soldiers in Uganda.
I know that you are a person committed to doing good, as you often post worthwhile causes amid your celebrity gossip. As an avid perez reader, I know how many people you reach and that your influence is immense. I would be nothing short of thrilled if you would take time out of one day to attend a rescue event, and if you would promote Invisible Children's cause. You can find the organization's documentaries online on their website. Email back for more information.
Please attend a rescue event!

Thank you so much!!!
He's just doing this shit for money, he's a shell of his former self. This will be the biggest trainwreck ever
Oh yeah, Perez Hilton is a fat ass, balding, pervy, shameless bastard
I BET LEON LOVES LOVES LOVES HIM SOME MICHAEL JACKSON…..
I forgot ugly
did I miss fat too? Yeah, he's fat too
I heard that one of the tricks is that he is going to pull 53 little boys out of his pants.
He is the only person on earth where the skin under his fingernails is darker than the skin on his hands and fingers. Guess you can't get under the fingernails with bleach and a make-up brush.
why cant we just have michael of yesterdays past back…not crazy/plastic jack, just good ol' days thriller/billie jean jack back…ahh memories…lmao.
He reminds me of LG. Hideous.
Re: Melissa is always RIGHT – i loves me some mel
Re: VAGTASTIC 69 – omg i just threw the fuck up in my mouth…but it is funny as shit…lmao
Let's hope he limits the number of kiddie matinees.
Re: JigSaw – awww baby you know how I feel…..
The whole show will be lip syncing smoke and mirrors. Laughing my ass off at the people that paid big money to go!!!
THREE IS THE MAGIC NUMBER…..
So he won't really be present. They're going to use smoke, mirrors and misdirection all the whilst taking your money. Who gives a crap.
Is he stealing Brit Brit act… I thought she was doing magic to??
Why are his finger nails still brown and the rest of him is white?
WOW David Copperfield is a Legend. This show will be a hit if he
can pull this off
Re: Leon – I think they could be related…..
Whatever happened to the VEGAS show he was supposed to do where they built a million dollar mirrored/gloved hydraulic hand he was supposed to stand in while it rose up high above the stage? Whatever happened to THAT commitment?
Hell, I'll just take a few slugs of jesus juice,( Michaels kind, not madonnas), and get into the groove, baby.
Re: TorontoPerezFan –
DUDE IT'S PRETTY CHEAP. HIGHEST TICKETS ARE ONLY $105.
CHECK OUT THE MJ 30TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT. REGARDLESS WUT PEEPS SAY ABOUT MJ, BRO KNOWS HOW TO THROW A SHOW!!
Re: Melissa is always RIGHT – I'm sure of it.
Wouldn't it be cool to see him elevate and then CRASH on the floor?
I forgot, who is this Michael Jackson and what is it he does? Kind of a creepy looking albino.
It's very possible. Not only does Michael create Magic with his music and dance moves, but he also does really like magic as well. This might be one of the few post made about Michael that are actually true. He likes to create "Illusions", that what the Moonwalk is; an illusion.
OMG people… Michael has VITILIGO, so let me explain once again why the skin under his nail bed is discolored… That part of his skin (under the nail) is not exposed to direct sun light. Therefore the skin under the nail has not been effected like the rest of his skin, the parts in which that have been exposed to sunlight appear to be much lighter then the skin you see under his nails. Do a little research on the skin disease before throwing the "Bleach" card. Come on don't you get tired of the same ole jokes? This whole skin bleaching crap has been thrown at Michael Jackson for almost 20 years now. All the other lies, misconceptions, and allegations toward Michael J. is pretty old too. It really isn't nice to make fun of his skin disease, a disease in which he can not control. The only way to control it is to stay out of the sun, or when you are in the sun you must protect your skin from the sun ( that's why he uses umbrellas, face mask, and long sleeved clothing). He has probably also gone through "Depigmentation"it's a process in which makes the entire body all the same color, instead of having blotches of uneven skin color all over, hence the reason why his whole body is now MUCH lighter then what it used to be. Keep trying to dog out Michael Jackson if you want, at the end of the day it isn't going to make you any better of a person. He will still succeed even with all the hate thrown his way.
Perez, this is proof that you are completely dumb and have no idea what you are talking about. Have you ever been to a Michael Jackson concert? Obviously not. He's always employed magic tricks and special effects as part of his shows, at least for the past 30 YEARS. He used them during his Thriller performance on the Dangerous Tour in the early 90s where he also employed a jet pack on his back and flew out of the auditorium and used effects on the History Tour. How is that not doing his homework? He performs the entire show. If anything, he likes to give the audience even extra treats. That is not cheating, that's being a visionary entertainer who wants to give the audience even more. Do your research before spouting off.
GEE WHIZ, I hope his nose, or what ever remains of it, doesn't get blown off.
Re: CuddlyCarla – I couldnt agree more. This is what Mj have done on all his tours. Im talking about different kinds of special effects. MJ have sat down some groundrules with his tours throughout the years. His tours was/is famous for these kinds of stuff. Noone can pull of performances like him
Second, I didnt see you try to diss Britney when she wanted Criss Angel on her performance. I recall that you called it an amazing idea. You misconduct yourself all the time.
well whatever michael decides to do it will be great. if it was just him and a microphone on the stage it would still be great.
why is people making such a big deal about it? he done his 30th anniversary concert in 2001 i think it was and that was unbelieveable!! that was only 8 years ago, the way people carry on you would think that he hasnt performed for the last 15 - 20 years! he has never stopped performing and he never will, and as for him doing it for the money, well i wish i had his money problems!! he is paying £1 million for accomadation whilst staying in the uk and paying £7000 per hour to hire a plane from the usa to the uk! yeah, the mans sooooo skint!! LMAO.
Oh cool, Wacko and Copperfield both make a good team of perverts.
Why the fuck is he wearing lipstick???
Re: Slackness – He doesn't have on lipstick in this picture, his lips look the way they do, due to "Vitiligo". The lips contain less pigment melanin in them (the lighter the skin the less melanin pigment is contained) so the skin is more translucent. Since the lips have little or no melanin they have little or no protection from the damaging effects of UV rays. Just like the rest of his body that was effected due to UV rays. Do some research on the disease known as VITILIGO. Michael Jackson along with millions of other people suffer from this skin disease.
he really makes stomach turn grrrrrrooooooossssss
The music and singing will be canned (taped), he may appear on stage for 15 minutes while the rest of the time the smoke and mirrors will kick in creating the illusion that he's on stage when really the audience will be watching a pre-taped performance directed by John Landis (kidding, there, it'll be Martin Scorcese). Or as I suggested before, there will be Michael look-alikes (he with the make-up and wig who'd know?) that dance and lip synch for most of the "concert". It will end up being the biggest scam since Milli-Vanilli only no one will admit to it or break the 'code of silence'. Years from now, after he's dead, a now 85 year old dancer will come forth with this outrageous claim, that will actually be the truth!!
Re: lastonestanding – And you have come up with this grand fictional concert in your head because?? Any performance that Michael Jackson has done since the age of 10, he has put 100% into his performance. Alot of musicians out today need to take lessons from his professionalism, entertainment, and artistry. How about you STOP listening to the media's speculations about Michael's upcoming concerts and be patient and watch The King of Pop do what he does best; which is electrify the stage come July. You say his whole show will be lipsynched right? Please name one musician on this Planet who has yet to lipsynch. The only tour that Michael lipsynched (and it wasn't the whole tour) was his History tour in 1997 and it was widely known that he was ill during certain portions of that tour. Whether he lipsynches are not, there's no denying that he has a wonderful voice. You shouldn't judge a musician until you go through all the hard work that they have to go through while on tour. Michael Jackson is a perfectionist, and this tour will be just as good as all the others… Stop hating. I'll make sure to report on how great the show was after I come back from London to see this Genius of a man!
A lot of people talk about his skin disease Vitiligo, but many people don't believe it. If you want to see actual non-doctored pics starting from the 70s of Michael's skin disease, check out my blog. I can't posts links here, but just Google 'popspiracy'. It takes a second and you can all stop gossiping and look at the real thing. I'm really tired of that rumor. My aunt has it and anything I can do to raise awareness I'm all about.
Re: CuddlyCarla – Thank You for spreading the word. Vitiligo is a disease common among alot of people. I just don't understand why it's so hard for people to realize that Michael Jackson actually suffers from this disease. He is human and is susceptible to any and every other disease, cold, sprain, or ailment that any one of us can suffer from.
Re: MJ fan59 – Great blog! I've seen alot of those pictures before, but alot of them I hadn't seen before. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully some of the haters from this post will also take a look, and gain some knowledge about the truth.
is that lipstick or are his lips stained with jesus juice?
Re: MJ fan59 –
Do you honestly expect anyone to believe that he is not wearing lipstick? Open your eyes (literally and figuratively). Your need to defend his make-up wearing would suggest that you do not think that it is right for a "man" to wear lipstick. Would he be any less your hero if he did wear lipstick?
Re: the doctor is in – To tell you the truth I don't expect people to believe me when I say he is not wearing lipstick in this picture. If people don't believe the words that come out of MICHAEL JACKSON'S mouth about his appearance then I don't see why they would believe me. But I honestly don't care, it is not going to stop me from bringing out the ignorance of people who don't know what there talking about. How about you go do you research on VITILIGO and see why his lips are no longer the color that they once were. And even if he did wear lipstick, that shouldn't take away from his achievements in music, or all the good that he has done for people of the world. It is no surprise that Michael Jackson wears makeup, his reason for wearing makeup is due to his skin problem. What are the reason's why other musicians (male musicians at that) wear makeup? I don't care if Michael Jackson walked around with a paper sack over his head, it still doesn't take away what good of a person and artist he is. And FYI my eyes are WIDE open, it was indeed my eyes and my ears that helped me understand more about the skin disease that he suffers from. You need to take those eyes of yours to a article relating to VITILIGO and see why it is that his lips and skin look the way that they do.

Re: the doctor is in – Can you please come up with something unique? This picture that Perez posted today, is the same picture that was posted like last week. NO ONE (including you) brought up the "issue" of Michael apparently wearing lipstick. It's always something. He is a grown man so I really don't understand why everyone is so fascinated about his appearance anyway. He can do whatever he wants to himself, and can put whatever it is that he wants on his face. Can't wait to see what other crap you and others are going to try to pin point out about MJ next. I'm sure it will be the same ole stuff that has been said about him for years. It's becoming a bit redondant… And FYI… to answer your question, if MJ does happen to ever sport some lipstick, blush, mascara, and eye shadow, Yes without a doubt he will still be one of the many hero's of mine.
