Is Michael Jackson attending a SARS convention? Nope, he’s just shopping.

The King of Pop stepped out in Beverly Hills yesterday to do some antique shopping. His gear? A surgical mask, red-striped tuxedo pants, black leather boots, and a super gaudy sweatshirt that I can only assume, based on its detail, is by Christian Audigier.

Should I also mention that it’s 95 degrees outside?

Well, that’s neither here nor there.

What do you think of his getup? Ridiculous, or same ol’ Michael?
