Michael Jackson was into men, not boys - and masqueraded as a woman with his lovers, a new book claims.

That's the most sensational nugget in "Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson," a tell-all by celebrity biographer Ian Halperin obtained by In Touch magazine.

I don't believe it. Authors just wanna make huge money with stories like this. They are NO evidences for this!

Not the sexuality part but he was supposedly photographed in public in the middle east dressed in an abaya which is worn by women.

"In a way, I am glad he recognized Bahrain as a safer environment for him and his kids," said Hala Abdel Wahab, a 24-year-old doctor.

She said she once saw the singer trotting through a fashionable mall in Manama, his frail body draped in a traditional women's abaya, or robe, which covers part of the face. Abdel Wahab said Jackson drew a crowd at the time since he didn't walk like a woman. - MANAMA, Bahrain (AP)

Either way people who buy books like these only encourage the immoral actions of authors who wish to try and make a buck by tossing out a book for a buck shortly after a public figure dies. If people quit buying them then publishers would stop printing them.

This is not a real evidence cause we all know that he was shy and want to protect his children and himself.

I didn't say it was conclusive just that it backed the claim made. Don't be dismissive, it's rude, and it turns people off.

Jackson had to stay out of the sun.  Bahrain isn't exactly known for being overcast, so that could've been a factor with the fashion choice.
