Michael Jackson in a wheelchair
Michael Jackson turned up in a wheelchair to watch the Ultimate Fighting Championship in Las Vegas at the weekend.
The 'Thriller' singer - who rarely makes public appearances - tried to disguise himself by wrapping a coat around his face and wearing sunglasses as he entered the MGM Grand Hotel in the medical aid.
Jackson witnessed Jenna Jameson's boyfriend Tito Ortiz get beaten by Lyoto Machida during the evening. The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is a US-based mixed martial arts(MMA) organisation, which is recognised as the largest MMA promotion in the world.
As well as attending the evening of bouts, Jackson went to Los Angeles' Peterson Automotive Museum to celebrate the 50th birthday of designer Christian Audigier.
Jackson - dressed in a blue satin military and western-themed shirt - took to the stage to say a few words about his friend.
The pop superstar said: "Christian is the king of fashion."
Pamela Anderson, Fergie and Britney Spears also attended the bash.

Led Zeppelin gigs denied
Led Zeppelin will not be performing in Toronto in August, despite speculative reports to the contrary.
A blog posting last week on MuchMusic.com said Zeppelin would reunite for the second time in as many years to play four shows at the Rogers Centre (the former SkyDome) in August. A Globe and Mail report yesterday said that preliminary discussions were taking place with the dome.
Yesterday, though, two sources in the position to know both said they were unaware of any discussions involving Led Zeppelin playing in Toronto at any venue, with one source completely dismissing the speculation.
Music industry magazine Billboard inquired into the report "at the highest level" and, according to the magazine's news editor Jonathan Cohen, was "fairly confident there's nothing to it."
