Pop star Michael Jackson was spotted shopping in a Bahrain mall on Wednesday, hiding his face behind a veil and donning a black robe traditionally worn by women in the Gulf. He was with three children, apparently his own, who also had their faces covered by dark scarves. An unidentified woman accompanied them.

The pop star, who seems to be settling in the Persian Gulf, was seen leaving Marina Mall in the Bahrain capital, holding a child by the hand. On the way out a back door, he shook hands with security guards.

The woman - also dressed in the black robe called an abaya, jeans and a scarf that partially covered her face - had the two other children. All three children were wrapped in black scarves and wore yellow shirts and sweatpants or khakis without robes.

You Said

Damn, he just keeps getting freakier plus I can't imagine why anyone would wear an abaya if they didn't have to.

I heard about this on the radio and knew I could count on the MP&S to have a picture. Thanks Lawtini!

Poor Michael. Side note - it's scary to think that he's probably considered "poor" over there!

He needs to get over himself.
