Lifelong pop superstar Michael Jackson has recently been spotted sporting a face covered with bandages. I know, big deal, right? The man’s gone under the knife more times than his albums have gone platinum, but in this case the Jackson camp is remaining tight-lipped regarding Jacko’s coverings.

Michael was seen covered in gauze (I mean, completely) while shopping in Las Vegas - an odd act that for Jackson is hardly even considered weird. I mean, we’ve seen worse, right? But Jackson’s rep can give no answers as to why the star is keeping his face incognito, saying that Jackson hasn’t had any surgical procedures lately.

What, you mean there isn’t a plastic surgeon on site at Neverland Ranch? That’s the most surprising Jackson news of all.
