Michael Jackson is doing the impossible today and turning 50-years-old.  I think the world half expected his face to crumble in by now, but he made it! 
MJ told People that he'll have a low key celebration with his three kids Prince Michael, 11, Paris, 10, and Prince Michael II, 6.  "A little cake with my children and we'll probably watch some cartoons."  Well as much as we didn't expect him to still be around we probably didn't expect such a tame response either.  Have good one Michael!

Britney and Michael Jackson, along with dozens of other A-listers turned out to wish legendary fashion icon Christian Audigier happy 50th birthday in Los Angeles last night. Brit sat casually with friends including her agent Jason Trawick in a VIP section of the Peterson Automotive Museum, where the bash was held. Her dad Jamie sat a few yards away keeping a watchful eye on her. Reclusive Jackson was more camera shy, and only stepped onstage to wish the fashion legend happy birthday as gold confetti fell from the ceiling, before he was whisked away by his security. Other attendees were Snoop Dogg, Fergie, Kim Kardashian and French singer Johnny Halliday... Quite a party!

      

What musician isn't inspired by Michael Jackson? But of those who admire him, it's usually about his musical talent and not for the freakish plastic surgery he's gotten over the years...those, except for Lil Kim.  The Hardcore rapper has always been known for her outrageous, barely-there outfits (the starfish pastie anyone?) but she has recently taken a turn for the worse with her appearance.  I don't know what made her think this was a good idea, but if she wants to look like MJ maybe she should just stick to one glove or learning how to moonwalk or something.

Talk to the hand! He's as mad as a box of frogs and his craziness is hard to beat, but it still makes us sad that Michael Jackson is no longer the superstar he used to be. Once upon a time, Jacko would be mobbed by fans if he stepped out in public. Now the one-man freak show goes almost unnoticed, like here when we bumped into him at Heathrow airport in London.
