The face is in t he second photo.

Look at the second building from the right-there is a darker cloud/spot above it which is the chin and right above it is a full set of lips and then the nose and rest of the face.

let you're eyes kind of unfocus like you're looking at one of those trick pictures.

Dude really needs to fall back with this:
Interviewer: You were there to witness the strange evolution in Michael's appearance. Did you ever step in and saying anything about it?
Quincy: Oh, we talked about it all the time. But he'd come up with, "Man, I promise you I have this disease," and so forth, and "I have a blister on my lungs," and all that kind of b.s. It's hard, because Michael's a Virgo, man—he's very set in his ways. You can't talk him out of it. Chemical peels and all that stuff.

Interviewer: Did you believe him about the disease?
Quincy: I don't believe in any of that bullshit, no. No. Never. I've been around junkies and stuff all my life. I've heard every excuse. It's like smokers—"I only smoke when I drink" and all that stuff. But it's bullshit. You're justifying something that's destructive to your existence. It's crazy. I mean, I came up with Ray Charles, man. You know, nobody gonna pull no wool over my eyes. He did heroin 20 years! Come on. And black coffee and gin for 40 years. But when he called me to come over to see him when he was in the hospital on his way out, man, he had emphysema, hepatitis C, cirrhosis of the liver, and five malignant tumors. Please, man! I've been around this all my life. So it's hard for somebody to pull the wool over my eyes. But when somebody's hell-bent on it, you can't stop 'em.

Interviewer: But it must've been so disturbing to see Michael's face turn into what it turned into.
Quincy: It's ridiculous, man! Chemical peels and all of it. And I don't understand it. But he obviously didn't want to be black.

Interviewer: Is that what it was?
Quincy: Well, what do you think? You see his kids?

Interviewer: Did you ever discuss it? Did you ever ask, "Michael, don't you want to be a black man?"
Quincy: No, no, no, please. That's not the way you do it.

Interviewer: But he was beautiful before?
Quincy: Man, he was the most gorgeous guy.

Interviewer: But he seemed to have some deep-seated issue with how he looked?
Quincy: Well, that comes about a certain way. I'm not sure how it happens. I'm just a musician and a record producer. I'm not a psychiatrist. I don't understand all that stuff. We all got problems. But there's a great book out called Too Soon Old, Too Late Smart. Did you see that? That book says the statute of limitations has expired on all childhood traumas. Get your stuff together and get on with your life, man. Stop whinin' about what's wrong, because everybody's had a rough time, in one way or another

Gotta give it to Quincy on everything he said, especially the parts in bold.

She is also seeking a restraining order to keep Papa Joe away from the kids. (That actually is a good idea.)

Debbie decides she wants custody of the kids now after she SOLD her parental rights to MJ. Yup, she's Mother of the Year, just like MJ was Father of the Year.

So finally we have something firm on Michael Jackson's private family service. It will be at 10:00 AM Tuesday at Forest Lawn in Los Angeles.

A motorcade will then go to the Staples Center complex in downtown Los Angeles where the public memorial will be held. We're told the family still hasn't decided whether the memorial will be at the Staples Center or the smaller Nokia Theatre. A decision on that is expected shortly.

CelebNews@Usmagazine.com! - Michael Jackson Planned Duet in London with Son Prince
ShareThis


Michael Jackson was set to perform a duet with son Prince, 12, during his upcoming sold-out London concerts, the singer's former publicist reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly (on newsstands now).
"He was planning on doing a short duet with his son, Prince," Stuart Backerman tells Us. "He knew his kids would enjoy it."


"He wanted his kids to see him perform at least once to get the vibe of the Michael Jackson mania," says Backerman of Jackson, who hadn't hit the stage since a series of 2001 tribute concerts in NYC.

Jackson – who died at age 50 after suffering cardiac arrest June 25 -- named his mother Katherine as guardian of his three children – Prince, 12, Paris, 11, and Blanket, 7 and "intentionally" omitted Debbie Rowe, the children's biological mother, from his will. (The new Us Weekly breaks the news that the children's biological father is Arnold Klein, Jackson's L.A.-based dermatologist and Rowe's former boss.) If Katherine died before him or couldn't serve as guardian, Jackson nominated Diana Ross, according to his will.

Despite their father's passing, Jackson's kids "are happy," Jackson patriarch Joe said at a press conference Monday, adding that they're with "other young ones in the Jackson family.... They were never around other kids."

STFU Joe Jackson...we have all seen pics of MJ's kids with other kids and they looked very comfy with them.

As for Debbie Rowe going after custody...yeah sure now that MJ excluded you in his will, now you want custody??? Wonder how much Katherine will have to pay her to go away again?

The funny thing is that's not far off the mark. He and MJ are almost twins.

You're right, Debbie's another leech looking for a payday.

I loved how Quincy said everybody had childhood traumas, I've been saying that from day one. The man was FIFTY freakin years old. Plus he had access to the top shrinks if he wanted to get help at any point.
