Michael Jackson shops in Bahrain disguised as woman
MANAMA (Reuters) - Michael Jackson went shopping in Bahrain on Wednesday disguised as a traditional Arab woman, but if it was an attempt by the pop star to avoid attention, it failed.
Jackson has been spending time in the Gulf state as a guest of the royal family since a Californian court acquitted him in June of child molestation.
A Reuters photographer saw him in a popular shopping mall in the center of the capital Manama all in black, with sunglasses, gloves, a veil covering his face and dressed in an abaya, or full-length robe -- but with men's shoes peeping out below.
The 47-year-old seemed to be shopping for new shoes in the mall with three Western-looking children, their faces also covered, and an unidentified woman.
The children drew the attention of other shoppers, who quickly recognized the star who is popular in the Gulf region.
"Please, no!" Jackson shouted to photographers before making a rapid exit with the children and woman via the back door of the mall and into a white car.
