Michael Jackson's face appears in baby's ultrasound scan



Pregnant Abbie Drinkwater was left stunned when she spotted dead singer Michael Jackson's face in her baby's ultrasound scan.


The 18-year-old was amazed when she saw the King of Pop's image staring back at her.


Abbie, who is expecting her first child, said: "The likeness is amazing.- at first I couldn't believe what I was seeing.


"I didn't notice it at first as I was so excited about seeing my baby. It wasn't until later when I was at home and just gazing at the scan picture that I saw Michael Jackson."


Abbie, a carer, went to show her boyfriend Daniel Pate, 23, who immediately recognised the 50-year-old singer.


"The image looks like Michael from his Thriller days. You can clearly see his curly hair, profile and even his white glove," said Abbie.


Abbie, who is 17 weeks pregnant, was a huge fan of singing sensation and had most of his albums.


"As a child I loved watching him and was always singing his songs. I thought he was a great performer.

Readers Says Hey Hey's Jackson Jive Skit 'Not Racist'

From News.com, Australia:

. 30,000 readers take part in poll
. 69 per cent say skit 'isn't racist'
. 2.3 million watched last night's episode


Daryl Somers called the Hey Hey It's Saturday Reunion Special's Jackson Jive skit a "storm in teacup" - and it seems readers agree.

An overwhelming 69 per cent of readers who voted in online News Ltd polls across Australia said the skit – which featured four men with blackened faces wearing afro wigs miming to the Jackson Five’s Can You Feel It – was neither racist nor tasteless.



Almost 30,000 people voted and more than 1500 left comments after Hey Hey’s guest judge, American crooner Harry Connick Jr, said he would not have taken part in the show had he known about the performance.

“Just another uptight American with no sense of humour. I would not be offended if five black men appeared on Red Faces with white paint on their faces,” Harry of Melbourne responded on heraldsun.com.au.


It seems just about everything these days is offensive. Well I am offended by the direction that our sense of humour is heading. Can't get anymore black and white than that,” wrote Mr Brown of Brisbane at news.com.au.

The strongest reactions came from readers of PerthNow.com.au, where 81 per cent said the skit was not racist, and adelaidenow.com.au, where 80 per cent supported the skit.

Results from other News Ltd sites were:

• News.com.au - 72.2 per cent said the skit wasn't racist/tasteless
• Dailytelegraph.com.au – 77 per cent said the skit wasn't racist/tasteless
• Heraldsun.com.au – 76 per cent said the skit wasn't racist/tasteless
• Couriermail.com.au – 53 per cent said the skit wasn't racist/tasteless.

Tory Maguire, deputy editor of opinion site The Punch, where almost 500 readers left comments, said that the results to the national poll weren’t surprising.

“While the skit was not the most offensive on recent Australian TV, it demonstrated how old-school and out of touch the producers of Hey Hey were,” she said.

“The Australian public has grown up since the skit first aired 20 years ago. But the 2.5 million Australians who were watching last night were looking for nostalgia, so a returning act like the Jackson Jive was always going to appeal to them.

“In spite of the large majority of respondents in the News Ltd-wide poll saying they did not find the skit offensive, many hundreds of people who commented on websites including The Punch were appalled at what they saw as blatant racism.”

Pretty disappointing. I should have known Sony wouldn't put out a fitting two disc set. Last time they did that was in 95, and Michael was alive to oversee it. How disappointing. This soundtrack could have been something AMAZING for the fans and for the casual listener. Yet again the die-hard fans get shafted for another reissue.

That's it, huh?

Timmy84 said:

Yeah!
I only found that in the fine-print after reading the article, getting excited that the new song, "This Is It" will premiere on MJ's website this Sunday.
I wish they would have released that "information" before the pre-order hype. Talk about disappointing!

Vanilli said:

I see...

Any news on the spike lee film about MJ?

Vanilli said:

I was hoping it would have live versions as well,but I pre ordered it anyway.

EmeraldSkies said:

I did also and I'm canceling my order. I'm not paying for this mess. I love Michael as much as the next die-hard MJ drone, but THIS IS IT for me with the Sony remastering BS. I've had enough of it. I'll wait for the DVD and download "This Is It" and "Planet Earth" on iTunes. As for the demos, they will leak in high quality soon enough.
