^^ During that period between Victory and Bad there wasn't a lot of pics out there of Michael. I remember as a kid I had a poster from the Billie Jean video shoot on my wall, and there seemed to be some colour difference on his ear. I thought it looked weird but put it down to the print.

From a media and mass public point of view the only real reference point they had for Michael was from Thriller and WATW then all of a sudden a lighter skinned Michael on BAD. It didn't help that prior to the release of Bad Michael also underwent further plastic surgery. So the media got caught up in the whole appearance and saw the plastic surgery and lighter skin as one and the same.

Also Michael (rightly or wrongly) was so private about his skin condition that it would take him 5 more years to talk about having Vitilago. By that stage people had already bought into the whole "he wants to look white" crap and thought he was just making excuses.

Yeah it was a mess. I just felt bad for Michael during that whole time.

Latoya's New Tell all Book June 21, 2011


In this explosive tell-all, the sibling with the closest relationship to Michael reveals the inner workings of the Jackson family, Michael’s tortured soul, and her own love for her deceased brother in this intimate portrait of a beloved, yet deeply troubled, pop legend.

With eleven albums spanning three decades and having earned public respect and affection for her triumph over an abusive relationship, La Toya is a beloved international star in her own right. After some time out of the spotlight, La Toya has recently completed her forthcoming album Startin’ Over, which has been well received by critics and fans alike. Her recent interview with Michael’s chimp Bubbles lit up blogs and news channels worldwide with its heartbreakingly genuine sentiment. Now, in this fascinating memoir—guaranteed to send shockwaves around the globe—La Toya Jackson exposes the Jackson family’s deepest, darkest secrets.

As the sister with whom Michael shared the closest relationship, La Toya had unfiltered access to her megastar brother. Privy to the secrets that Michael carried to his grave, La Toya is prepared to tell the world what she knows. Taking readers behind the curtain of secrecy and intrigue that has surrounded Michael and the rest of the Jackson children since they became stars in the 1970s, she delves into the reasons for Michael’s troubled life and untimely death. With the intimacy only a sister can have, La Toya illuminates the special bond that siblings share—and provides unprecedented insight into the reasons behind the tragic destruction of one of the most dynamic artist/performers in recent history.

La Toya Jackson is an international superstar and the fifth sibling in the superstar Jackson family. Her eleventh studio-recorded album Startin' Over is forthcoming.

I personally don't think Michael would intentionally put Blanket at risk. A two hour procedure? Must've been pretty serious and/or painful for Michael to have insisted so. We'll see.....I don't appreciate the tone here though. confused

^ Wasn't there a report that in the 80s a doctor issued a statement that Michael had vitiligo? Not that it's enough to change the public's opinion or something that the media would spear-head.... I was surprised no one in the Jackson family blabbered it out to the public. Michael was too private about that... he disappeared, showed up looking different in Bad and after the world tour, disappeared again and showed up for the Dangerous era completely light-skinned.

Yeah it made some press that he was diagnosed with it in 1986. Of course Michael's camp didn't immediately addressed the reports.

Michael Jackson scents set for launch

NICE, France — Thanks to an autograph hunter in Las Vegas who asked to borrow a pen, a French perfumer is poised to launch his-and-hers fragrances in memory of Michael Jackson.

Inspired by plants that grow at the late King of Pop's Neverland Ranch, "Jackson's Tribute" for men and "Jackson's Legend" for women, both eau de parfums, will be formally launched on March 7 in the United States.

Julian Rouas Paris, manufacturer of own-brand and private-label fragrances, formulated the scents in just a fortnight, under a partnership deal signed in California last month with the patriarch of the Jackson family.

"With Joe Jackson, we are 50-50 partners in world sales, television rights and advertising receipts," said chief executive Franck Rouas, adding that a part of the proceeds will go to charities favoured by Michael Jackson.

As he tells it, Rouas -- a one-time French tennis instructor to Hollywood stars -- was manning his company's stall at a trade fair in Las Vegas when two young autograph hunters asked to borrow his pen.

The Jackson family was nearby, they said, so Rouas immediately gave him not only his pen, but also two samples of Versailles, one of his firm's own brands, with instructions for them to be given to Janet Jackson.

One hour later came an invitation for Rouas to meet the Jackson family in a private salon, the perfumer said. There, the Jacksons expressed interest in his products; Rouas in turn proposed various fragrances.

Following further negotiations, the musical clan settled on a fruity floral blend for women and a more musky version for men, said Joseph Rubino, 63, the master perfumer whose nose perfected both scents.

Developing the scent -- which purports to capture the prevailing floral aroma at Neverland -- took just two weeks. "We did it very very quickly," said Rouas. "Usually it takes a year."

"There's been lots and lots of luck in this story," added Rubino, from Grasse, the small town in the hills above the French Riviera that is the heart of the French perfume industry.

News of the scents came as a court in Los Angeles ordered physician Conrad Murray to stand trial for involuntary manslaughter over Jackson's sudden death on June 25, 2009 at the age of 50 from an overdose of powerful sedatives.

In Los Angeles, a spokesman for Michael Jackson's estate said the perfume venture was "a Joe Jackson deal" in which it was not involved.

Pre-orders and expressions of interest have already come to Rouas from as far afield as Southeast Asia and southern Africa, and a dedicated website is to be launched in the coming days, the perfumer said.

Similar his-and-hers scents -- "Mystique de Michael Jackson" and "Legende de Michael Jackson" -- were telemarketed in the United States in the early 1990s, featuring collectable bottles with hologram portraits of the star.

Another line of Michael Jackson signature perfumes, "Magic Beat", launched in 1986, was aimed at teenaged girls but failed to take off.

Rouas, 38, a native of Nice who has lived on the West Coast of the United States for 15 years, happened upon the perfume business in 1996 when he met industry professionals at a charity soiree in Monaco.

Having sold insurance, real estate and windows, he began trading perfume in the United States while initially remaining a tennis pro to the likes of film star Sharon Stone and Michael Glaser of television's "Starsky and Hutch".

Ever open to new opportunites, Rouas said he has been contacted by troubled starlet Lindsay Lohan, just out of prison, to create a perfume in her name -- to be called "Freedom".
