Our inaugural ‘Freak Watch’ award was given to King Nutbag Michael ‘Wacko Jacko’ Jackson. Now as we are only in our fourth week it seems a little premature to re-cap by returning to the number one fruit loop in the business. However, I cannot pass up this opportunity to show the world how deranged ‘Wacko Jacko’ really is. New information has come to light showing embattled pop star Michael Jackson wears a prosthetic nose and once paid $150,000 for a "voodoo curse" to kill director Steven Spielberg despite being deep in debt. If that’s not zany enough for you an article in an American magazine revealed that Jackson bleaches his skin white because he does not like being black. The 44-year-old singer sometimes refers to black people as "spabooks.” Perhaps it is meant to be an endearing term. Or perhaps in Jacko’s language “spabooks” is as complimentary was “chezwazza” eh Mr X.The American magazine Vanity Fair reported in an article that in 2000 Jackson attended a voodoo ritual in Switzerland where a witch doctor promised that Spielberg, music mogul David Geffen and 23 other people on the entertainer's list of enemies would die.
Jackson, who underwent a "blood bath" as part of the ritual, then ordered a business adviser to wire $150,000 to a bank in Mali for a voodoo chief named Baba, who sacrificed 42 cows for the ceremony, the magazine reported.
Now call me old-fashioned if you will, but sacrificing animals to places curses on celebrities really does sounds completely stark raving crazy to me. Firstly, why would you want to place a curse on Spielberg? Sure I.A. wasn’t all that good, and Hailey Joel Osmond should be sent to a Siberian boot camp for rehabilitation but that’s no excuse to run for the razors and start slitting random animals throats. Secondly, for the love of God why would you choose a voodoo chief with a name that resembles a famous children’s cartoon character. The only explanation I can grasp is that Michael Jackson either likes cartoons or children…
So Michael Jackson for the second time in only a matter of a month we award you with another golden statuette labelled ‘Freak Watch’, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Your Celebrity Smacker,
