Show to Examine Michael Jackson's Face
17 minutes ago

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The face of pop singer Michael Jackson (news) will be the subject of a special edition of NBC's news magazine "Dateline" next month.

"Michael Jackson Unmasked," set to air at 10 p.m. EST Feb. 17, will be "the inside story as told by some of the people who knew him best," according to a network statement. Further details about the program weren't given.

For years, Jackson's appearance — particularly his increasingly smaller nose and lighter skin tone — has been the subject of intense scrutiny and speculation.

In announcing the program to television critics last week, NBC Entertainment President Jeff Zucker said "Dateline" can encompass a variety of stories in its three hours each week.

The series can "run the gamut from important, serious shows like Tom Brokaw's fantastic hour on Iraq to ridiculous but fascinating hours on Michael Jackson's face," Zucker told the Television Critics Association.

Jackson, 44, last made headlines in November when he dangled his son, Prince Michael II, from a fourth-floor balcony in Germany. The baby wasn't hurt and Jackson quickly apologized, calling it "a terrible mistake."

That should be interesting

Man, I can't believe they would even have a show telling about his face. He's obsessed with plastic surgery. He went from looking good to looking like an alien. That's just about all a person could say about his face.

Yeah, if any show talks about his face, it should be on an episode of the X-Files.

Interesting. I think I'll watch.

This interests me. Why a person would mutilate their face the way he did is just insane to me. I'd like to know about the doctors who are responsible for the mess. He barely has a nose now.
It will be interesting to see the chronological stages that his appearance went through.
One question I'd like answered, but not sure if I'll get, is "Why?"

I'd like to know the answers to those questions as well. I'd also like to know more about whatever chemical process he used to completely bleach out his skin color - that can't possibly be good for you. What doctors (or whoever) asisted Jackson with that process? Is this something that he has to do to himself on a continuing basis? Who will be held responsible if there are some serious side effects somewhere along the line?

(When I saw the video of Jackson dangling that baby over the side of the balcony, 5 stories above the ground, it occurred to me that some of those chemicals must have seeped into his brain!)

I think I heard awhile back that his dad was pretty cruel to him. His dad gave him the nickname big nose and his dad insulted his looks and I'd say that drove him into his obsession. I'm sure no matter how many times he looks in the mirror, he still sees the same guy he used to be and he can still hear his dad insulting his looks.

I've heard similar stories Jenny. The big nose nickname is news to me though, but that could explain why he has such a complex about his nose.
I know that patients undergoing plastic surgery have to undergo counseling to determine that they're altering their looks for the right reasons.
I couldn't walk into a plastic surgeon's office and order the surgeon to keep chipping away at my nose because of an abusive father/childhood.
I guess with Michael's money, they'd remove his arm if he wanted them too.

I certainly nope they bring up a few of these points in this "investigation" of Jacko's nose. My guess is that Jackson just keeps tossing money at these guys until he finds someone who is willing to continue working on him.
One of these "doctors" has got to speak up and put a stop to this nut job- oh excuse me- pop star...
