Caught in a Ladies Bathroom (Goblog =p)
Bahrain, Saturday, November 12, 2005
Touching up your make-up after using the loo is a common ritual in women's rest rooms around the world.
But when the person using the mirror next to you is Michael Jackson, the scene borders on the bizarre, if not downright scary.
This is another bizarre story of the self-proclaimed King of Pop =p Michael Jackson was reported entering a Ladies toilet in capital's Ibn Battuta Shopping Mall over the weekend, trying to put on some make-up on his cheeks before spotted by someone else.
Jackson was reported innocently wandering to the wrong toilet, wearing a T-shirt and trousers with a traditional Tunisian head-scarf Sheila. When the pop superstar revealed his disguise and powdered his cheeks with rouge, a 37-year old Tunisian woman standing at the next mirror, screamed in horror, realizing the fact that a man was powdering rouge right next to her. Jackson, who has been living in Bahrain since being cleared of sex abuse charges, let out a screech in return, calling off some of his bodyguards to rush by his side.
But as soon as she realized who the man is, Latifa M., the 37-year old Tunisian teacher, started to take pictures of the poor pop superstar with a frightened look on his face by using her mobile phone. Because of this, the pop superstar chased after Latifa, attracting the security of the mall who then tried to take the phone from Latifa. But she refused and asked for compensation, while the two women accompanying Jackson tried to convince her to sit in private and settle the issue.
Wary of this suggestion, the teacher called the police. Colonel Abdul Jalil Al Mehdi, Deputy Director of the Preventive Security Department of Dubai Police, took the matter in his hands and tried to solve the issue, while Jackson left it to his companions to explain who he is and solve the matter.

While Latifa insisted on compensation, Jackson flatly refused to pay up. The police informed Latifa that the UAE laws do not entitle her to any financial gain from the situation and they convinced her to hand over the mobile, which she did after erasing the photos for the fear of being penalised.
