Just when you thought you’d seen it all when it comes to Michael Jackson‘s odd behavior, he goes and outdoes himself … in spades. Jacko stepped out into public view in LA this week to do some antiquing and was snapped wearing a pair of slippers, a light blue tunic, a head wrap, his trademark fedora hat — and a Zorro mask. Meh, on second thought … when it comes to Wacko Jacko, this sounds pretty standard … behold:

He has never lacked creativity when it comes to fashioning a ‘disguise’. But Michael Jackson’s latest effort is remarkable, even by his standards. With his trademark trilby hat and a black eye mask, the troubled 50-year-old looked a dead ringer for Zorro. However, his lower half was not quite in keeping with the theme. Instead of a cape and boots, he opted for slippers and a bright blue tunic. Intentional or not, one thing was clear; it didn’t work. In fact, if the singer had wanted to escape any unwanted attention, he only succeeded in doing the exact opposite. A crowd of bemused onlookers gathered and watched on as Jackson wandered around the streets visiting an antiques shop. His rather odd choice of outfit was not the first time he has attempted to go incognito … In his hand this time around Jackson appeared to be holding a copy of the reality television show The Jacksons Are Coming, made about his brothers and their move to Devon last summer. Meanwhile, it has also been revealed the singer is arranging an auction at which he plans to sell off some of his personal memorabilia. Among the items on sale is the iconic white glove the star wore in his 1983 video for Billie Jean. The five-day auction will take place in Beverly Hills in April. Auctioneer Darren Julien said that Jackson was not being forced to sell the items rather he was doing it of ‘free will’. Last month he was also taken to court by an Arab sheik, who claimed the singer owed his millions of pounds for pulling out of a music contract. In November he also lost ownership of his Neverland ranch in California.

Um … what the hell is going on with those cardboard babies in the backseat of his car? The outfit is atrocious but, the more I think about it, it’s pretty par for the course … but the babies? That’s really freakin’ weird, y’all. I am so astounded by the way this man operates … like, what can the thought process be that makes him think that going out in public looking like this is normal? I honestly doubt that he does it for the attention (well, mebbe he does it for a little attention) but I cannot understand the why. In the end, mebbe it’s not for us to understand … mebbe it’s more for us to enjoy from afar — very afar. Lawd, he is SO WEIRD!
