Wow what a trooper! Hair's on fire and he still tries to play it cool and dances his way backstage. I woulda been like Costanza when the kitchen caught fire.

Hey I have sympathy for him to an extent. I have vitiligo and it bothers me somewhat during the summer when the rest of my pigmented skin tans and the other spots do not. I can't imagine the self-consciousness that an african-american would go through, let alone being a mega celebrity.

If any of you were wondering yes - he did bleach his skin white to counter-act the vitiligo.

So is there a "treatment" or "cosmetic" procedure that your doctor told you about that would be like "bleaching" your skin...so that it all matched? Basically to help your self-esteem?

I can't imagine how bad this would be for your self-esteem. I have really dry hands...to the point where sometimes they crack and flakes of skin come off. I try to hide it as much as possible. Fortunately I have a prescription cream that keeps it under control.

Yes there is a treatment that does just that. Most people who have the condition don't choose to go that route from what I understand as it is a lengthy and painful process. Those that do only tend to do face and hands as they are the typically exposed areas. Jackson was one of the few that apparently tried to do his whole body.

There is black TV anchor from Detroit (I think) that talked about the disease after Jackson died and talked about the difficult decisions he is being faced with as the condition becomes more and more evident.

I love how they are trying to blame the drug addiction on some burns from 84. Bullshart.

Drugs are bad ummkay.

20 doctors might be charged. Also more disturbing is the use of MJ's kid as am alias to get drugs

Documents to secure the warrants used in the raids had to be made out in the 19 names and aliases used by Jackson to obtain prescription drugs.
Prince Jackson, the singer’s 12-year-old son, was even listed as one possible alias, according to reports. It is illegal in the US to obtain prescription drugs using false names.

Title is kind of terrible, but his plastic surgeon should be facing charges
