The odd (and plastic) couple

GOSSIP. We don’t really believe this bit of gossip for a second, but we do feel the need to share it: Britain’s Daily Mirror is reporting that Michael Jackson is dating Pamela Anderson. Ack! Yes, apparently the odd couple has gone on two dates in Malibu, Calif. “They arrived separately ... so no one would suspect anything and then had a few drinks at the bar,” a “source” told the paper. “They were very friendly. Pamela was being her usual flirty self and Michael seemed to be responding. They are such a strange couple, but they seemed to really hit it off.”

Although we’re willing to bet our homemade sparkly “Thriller” glove that this rumor is less true than the one where Jacko bought the Elephant Man’s bones, we could see it possibly working. After all, their bodies probably have a lot in common. As in, they’re both almost entirely made of plastic.
