I don't know what's funnier (and by funny I do mean "odd" rather than "ha-ha"):LOS ANGELES, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- Pop star Michael Jackson has converted to Islam at a ceremony in Los Angeles attended by Yousef Islam, the singer formerly known as Cat Stevens, sources say.
Jackson, whose once-amazing career has been eclipsed in recent years by reports of bizarre behavior, as well as legal and financial troubles, is said to have changed his name to Mikaeel and taken the shahada -- or made a declaration of belief -- as part of his conversion to Islam, Al-Arabiya said Friday.
The religious ceremony reportedly took place at the Hollywood Hills home of Toto keyboardist Steve Porcaro, who composed music for Jackson's iconic "Thriller" album.
- Michael Jackson converting from Jehovah's Witness to Islam
- Cat Stevens is still alive (seriously?)
- That this happened at Steve "Hold The Line" Porcaro's house
Friday's question: Is it even possible for Michael Jackson, or "Mikaeel," to do anything to make us hate him more? What's left, cannibalism? I guess if he tries to make a new album that would definitely be worse. The guy makes Prince and Dick Cheney seem sane. Hopefully he marries Sarah Palin for my personal amusement.
Weigh in, Middlespacers.
