: man, wouldn't it be great to have your own magician? Imagine having a shitty day, and then turning around and having your private magician perform for you! right there! wherever and and whenever!
: Too bad Michael had to take a beating, uhhhhhhh excuse me "whipping" to get his....
: LONDON (AP) - Michael Jackson's father says he never beat his son but admits in a TV interview to be broadcast Sunday that he whipped him.
: Joe Jackson told the British Broadcasting Corp. that he whipped Michael with a switch and a belt but says he never dealt out a beating.
: ``You beat someone with a stick,'' the BBC quoted him as saying in a story on its Web site Friday.
: The pop singer has consistently accused his father of beating him as a child.
: The interview was conducted by Louis Theroux in a hotel room in an unspecified location in the United States and overseen by a man, Majestik Magnificent, who described himself as Michael Jackson's personal magician.
: Magnificent is frequently heard interrupting the interview, at one point threatening to call it off when Jackson is asked several questions about his son's alleged facial plastic surgery.
: Jackson says Michael can do what he likes with his nose, which is alleged to have been repeatedly rebuilt through plastic surgery, claims which the pop singer has consistently denied.
: When asked about Michael's comments that he was so nervous seeing his father that he regurgitates, Joe Jackson's comment is, ``He regurgitates all the way to the bank.''
: The television program follows unsuccessful attempts by Theroux, who is known in Britain for his often tongue-in-cheek interviews with celebrities, to gain an interview with the 45-year-old pop superstar himself.
