Saturday, July 25, 2009 NEW YORK: According to a local magazine, Michael Jackson wore a prosthetic nose and witnesses at a Los Angeles morgue report that it was missing from the King of Pop’s body. Instead, left behind was a small, dark hole.The magazine, which hit newstands Friday, reports that Jackson wore a prosthetic nose to hide the effects of numerous plastic surgeries.According to the Mirror, Jackson’s former housekeeper, Adrian McManus said, “His nose was a problem. He wore plasters around the side to cover or support it. It was severely cave in. In his closet he had a jar of fake noses and stage glue, which he told me he used of disguises. But some were similar to his real nose, just without the hole.”Jackson may have had at least six nose jobs, and reports indicate it was because he believed he looked too much like his father.In a 1993 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Jackson spoke about the emotional and physical abuse he claims to have suffered at the hands of his father, Joe Jackson, who denies any abuse took place.The superstar's friend, Marcus Phillips said, “Michael was elated about the fact that with the second nose job he looked less like his father. If he couldn’t erase him from his life at least he could erase him from the reflection in the mirror.”
