Michael Jackson May Have Cancer

The Jackson family is going through a real health scare. No, it's not because someone stole their creepy surgical masks. Unfortunately, it's much more serious than that.

For the third consecutive day, Jacko was spotted at a Beverly Hills medical center where he's reportedly going through a intense series of cancer screenings. Rumor has it that he underwent a shave biopsy to assess the threat posed by a few potentially cancerous growths. Sad.

Apparently, MJ and his kids (Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, and Prince Michael Jackson II) will have to wait a whole week to get results and find out of Jacko will need spot radiation therapy.

All joking about his weird mask thing aside, I hope the results come back benign. Get well soon, Michael.

Jacko Family Continues Masked Reign Of Terror

How long will Michael Jackson make his kids wear creepy masks in public? We'll have to wait and see.

Jacko and his three children, Prince Michael, Paris Michael, and Prince Michael II continued to "hide" their identities from the public in Los Angeles last weekend (by wearing brightly colored masks) officially making the King of Pop one of the weirdest dads on the celebrity parenting circuit.

The masks are supposedly intended to protect the children from the dreaded media (an impulse that I can totally understand). Still, after a few months, isn't the solution starting to be worse than the problem? Not to mention, the masks haven't exactly silenced rumors about Jacko's crazy parenting style... far from it.

You know that something is a bit off with your dad when he decides to name all three of his children after himself (Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, and Prince Michael Jackson II). That's gotta be a pretty good indicator that your dad is either extremely egocentric, or just has a tough time grasping this thing we call reality. In MJ's case, it's probably a mixture of both.

Thriller! Michael Jackson's Kids Finally Unmasked

Hey - they're real! Here's a photo of Michael Jackson's kids, Paris and Prince Michael, where you can see their faces. Usually they're covered with some sort of mask or scarf – those poor kids must think it's freakin' Mardi Gras 24/7.

They're cute kids - he should really let them see the light of day more often. As you can see Michael still feels the need to cover up - he probably didn't have time to put on his nose.
