Or is this just another way for the press to hate him? Perez Hilton, addictive, but often hateful, celebrity blogger, tells us:

Michael Jackson drew more attention to himself than usual in St. Tropez this week when the alleged child molester was photographed dressed like a woman!!!

Sporting a pretty lil’ sunhat, three inch pointed heels, skinny fit women’s jeans and a fluorescent orange handbag, MJ’s attire was beyond shiteous!

He then goes on to quote an uncited source:

During a trip to Ireland earlier this year the singer, who has been staying with Bahrain’s royal family since being acquitted, arrived at Cork airport under layers of effeminate scarves and drapes.
And in January he wore an abaya – traditional garb for Muslim women – in the Arab state of Bahrain where he has been based for the past 12 months.

But more embarrassingly, Jackson was reportedly found dressed as a woman, applying makeup in the ladies’ toilet, during a recent shopping trip.

Don’t get me wrong, I hate Jacko, too. I don’t care how bizarre or abusive your upbringing is. You don’t molest kids.

On the other hand, this whole thing smacks of using the word “gay” as an insult. As if calling Jacko a tranny is somehow insulting in itself. Note that throughout his career, MJ has appeared more or less in “masculine” clothes, yet the one time he shows up in something eighties het sex symbol Prince would consider a butch day, he’s called a tranny. I wish Perez would cite his sources. I wanna know what’s going on here.
