- <p> Remember that giddy speculation about how pop introvert
- MICHAEL JACKSON, at Madonna's behest, was going to change his
- image? Well, the new Michael is on display in Black or White,
- the first video from his upcoming Dangerous album, and whipped
- cream aside, it looks as if not even Madonna can drag Jackson
- out of the '80s. "There is no new look," confirms a Jackson
- spokesman, or as the video's director, JOHN LANDIS, puts it,
- "Michael looks like Michael." Which is to say, a little weird.
- The frothiness is the result of a wacky, on-set, cream
- pie-squirt gun-water balloon battle orchestrated by Jackson and
- video co-star MACAULAY CULKIN. Hundreds of pies were ordered,
- and a camera crew caught the whole thing ("Michael documents
- everything in his life," says Landis). Maturity is still a dirty
- word in the Jackson camp.
