Michael Jackson Turns 50!

Once upon a time, Michael Jackson was the world's biggest star. Sigh...

The King of Pop is ready to start popping Geritol.

Despite his many attempts to thwart Father Time by persistently reconstructing his face, Jacko is getting older. And how does he plan to spend the big day? "Just have a little cake with my children and we'll probably watch some cartoons."

Michael's two children, Paris Katherine, 9, and Prince Michael II, 5, are with dermatologist Deborah Jeanne Rowe, whom he divorced in 1999.

So what's Jackson been up to recently? He's currently working on a new album. Remember when he was fantastic? We still love Thriller, and we know Jackson's still in there somewhere under all those implanted/attached parts.

Have a great birthday, Michael! We hope you're happy.
