Can't say I know a bunch about image makeovers. Yet even as a novice, it still strikes me as a bit odd that whatever person is in charge of making decisions in Michael Jackson's life said, "Yeah, sure, for your grand return at the World Music Awards, bring 40 kids on stage with you, that'll show all those people you're not that really creepy guy they should keep their kids away from."

Hint to Jacko's peeps: Look at how Whitney and Britney are doing it. They're distancing themselves from their problems. Not hugging them.

Maybe in the future, somebody can find Mike some friends closer to his own age, or at least older than 18. Shoot, Bobby and K-Fed don't really have anything going on, I'm sure they'd like to come play with Michael's monkey. That wasn't meant to be dirty, either -- I'm sure K-Fed and Bubbles could have a meaningful conversation.
