PEOPLE, Page 71Jackson: Saving Face
By MICHAEL QUINN
"Wacko Jacko." "Cracko Jacko." The demure British tabloids
delight in such derision of the one-man music industry called
MICHAEL JACKSON. But when London's Daily Mirror scorned not
Jackson's sanity but his looks, the singer struck back. Last
week Jackson kicked off a concert tour of Britain with a lawsuit
against the Mirror for writing that a lifetime of plastic
surgery has whittled him down to "a phantom with a sadly scarred
face that seems ready to fall apart." A meticulously labeled
diagram of the supposed cosmetic catastrophe was thoughtfully
included. Jackson seeks an apology and hefty damages. Black
shades and dangling hair thwarted the curious when the superstar
surfaced at a London children's hospital with a classically
Jacksonian retinue: executives, camera crews -- and Mickey
Mouse.
