Famous Bahrain Singer Surfaces

He's alive! Michael Jackson arrived in Tokyo today so he can accept MTV Japan's Legend Award. It'll be his first public appearance since being acquitted of molesting Macaulay Culkin. Michael may wanna confirm he's actually receiving an MTV award before he makes his speech. If he is, he'll be in the company of past recipients Jimmy Page and Ozzy Osbourne.

In January we wondered about Jacko's post-trial extreme makeover that was supposed to include wearing shorter wigs, less make-up, bigger biceps...

Unfortunately, no reports of a macho Jacko have surfaced. But there will be an Asian concert tour! And -- hold your horses, says his spokeswoman -- a Hurricane Katrina benefit single.

UPDATE: Jackson accepts his award.

It's pretty tragic what's become of Michael Jackson.
But I swear,there must be some legal precedent that stipulates that:

"Because this man made "Thriller" he shall not be convicted of any charges bought against him in the court of law"

Ok, unrelated to this post, it's really funny how unamused Ben Gibbard seems in that picture with the t-shirt. It really screams "some guys asked me to hold this". No offense to the shirt ...

I actually didn't ask Ben to do that! I just asked to take a photo of him and he held it up -- but I wasn't going to ask him not to. ;)

Off The Wall is better

THERE. I said it.
