Reports suggest that Michael Jackson plans to erect a 50ft robot version of himself in Vegas.
Now, normally we wouldn't give this kind of malarky a look in but since it concerns Michael Jackson it may well be true. In what sounds like an effort to top the crassness of the most crass place in the universe, reports suggest Jackson has approved of a giant, laser-beam shooting version of himself to be built in Las Vegas.He is reported to be living in the tackiest place on earth while negotiating a residency there for a reunited Jackson 5. The giant robo-Jackson would be constructed to coincide with the supposed three-year, 200 show residency that has been mooted.
According to the New York Daily News, designer Andre Van Pier has put together some sketches and the gloved one approves. Luckman Van Pier partner Mike Luckman told the paper, "It would be in the desert sands. Laser beams would shoot out of it so it would be the first thing people flying in would see... Neon is wonderful, but it's old school." It's also far less classy than lasers.
