Michael Jackson spotted having a dip in Dubai
Sep 13, 2005, 13:07 GMT
Michael Jackson has reportedly been spotted swimming in a skin-tight, white lycra body suit.
Onlookers claim the eccentric singer wore the bizarre outfit at a water park in Dubai, which he had privately hired out for the day.
Sources claim the star - who invited parents and children to join him at the Wild Wadi park - spent most of the time in the shade, with only his eyes, nose and mouth visible through the suit.
A lifeguard told America's New York Post newspaper: "He looked even stranger than usual. His body is very skinny, and the Lycra material did him no favours."
Last week, it was revealed Jackson is recording a song to raise money for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
The pop superstar, who is currently residing in Bahrain after being acquitted of child molestation charges, is hoping to recruit a galaxy of stars to join him on new track 'From The Bottom Of My Heart'.
The singer said: "I will be reaching out to others within the music industry, to join me in helping to bring relief and hope to these resilient people who have lost everything."

Even if he has a skin condition... that's still really weird.
IS it weird to protect yourself from eventual skin cancers and still wanna have fun no matter what people think, or is it more weird cuz one is stuck up, and uptight 4 you don't seem to understand the situation?
Does this guy never learn? Is he incapable of leaving other peoples kids alone. He belongs in jail.
Ryk, in case you had not learned, Michael Jackson was convicted of NOTHING. He belongs free. I suppose then, I could say that YOU belong in jail, even though you've obviously done nothing.
Do people have to remind you he's a celebrity? You actually think if he was guilty he would have been ruled that way?
Celebrity?? So?? You could argue just as strongly that being a celebrity would work against him. He is generally considered to be unpopular in the eyes of individuals and all i can see that doing is giving him a disadvantage from the start. The man is just trying to live his life and do something good for the katrina victims and still some of you people are low enough to take a swipe at him. as for the swimming suit, who cares? not his fault he has vitiligo. I'm sure he doesn't get any extra satisfaction out of wearing the suit and its through no fault of his own that he has to in order to enjoy simple every day life activities.
Umbrellas are pretty effective at shielding the sun's rays. Sun block is too. The body suit was unnecessary. It's just another example of this man's utter detachment from reality.
JAckson is a freaky pedophile. No ifs, and and,s but probably plenthy of butts!!!!

The purpose of the body suit was to protect his skin. Michael Jackson has vitiligo, which means he has no natural protection from the sun's rays. This makes him particularly vulnerable to skin cancer. He loves water parks, but seldom is able to visit them because of his allergy to the sun.
Rather than labeling this as 'bizarre,' it would have been better for your reporter to have asked a few questions or done a little research. Jackson's skin condition is well documented.
