Michael Jackson: Manic for Mannequins?

The King of Pop goes shopping and leaves with a new "friend"

Well, this is a little off the wall.

We could easily be referring to the fact that Michael Jackson still manages to create a frenzy wherever he goes, as was the case when the former gloved one turned surgical-mask wearer shopped at the Ed Hardy clothing store in Beverly Hills Monday.

But it's actually his unique acquisition there that we had in mind.

Jackson evidently took a particular liking to a tattooed male mannequin, which was subsequently placed in his vehicle's passenger seat prior to the King of Pop leaving the shop with his three kids. They, like daddy, also sported masks, but of the masquerade variety.

What exactly Jackson plans on doing with his newfound friend is anybody's guess.
