After Michael Jackon failed to show up to his molestation trial on time this morning, Superior Court Judge Rodney Melville said he would revoke Jackson's $3 million bail and put him behind bars if he did not show up at the courthouse by 9:35 A.M. PST. Jacko eventually turned up, but check out what he was wearing:
Um, are those ZUBAZ?
Jacko, we know you like to show that you're "down" with others accused of loving the underaged (a la your collaboration with R. Kelly), but honestly, there's no need to go dressing like Joey Buttafuoco.
Jackson did, in fact, appear at the courthouse looking "disheveled and distressed," according to eyewitnesses, a few moments after the judge's 9:35 deadline. Jackson's attorney, Thomas Mesereau Jr., had told the judge that his client was in Cottage Hospital with a "serious back problem," but the judge remained unsympathetic to the singer's alleged health issues. When Jackson finally arrived at the courthouse, he was surrounded by his entourage of burly bodyguards. He was gingerly taking mincing little steps as he approached the courthouse, which leads us to believe that he may be storing an army of pre-teen cancer patients in his rectum, later releasing the rabid, oxygen-starved and Jesus Juiced-up youngsters on the unsuspecting court while jumping into a white Bronco with O.J. at the helm, making a run for Mexico. Or the back thing, whatever.
