Michael Jackson
A recent GQ article spoofing Michael Jackson has the singer demanding the magazine apologize and pull the issue from circulation.
In a statement released Friday, Jackson's representative, Raymone K. Bain, said Jackson is "furious" about a series of photos featuring a Jackson impersonator in the magazine's May issue, now on newsstands.
The photos accompany an article called "Where's Michael?" which documents writer Devin Friedman's quest to find Jackson in Bahrain, the Middle Eastern country where he lives.
In one photo, a Jackson look-alike sits in a darkened movie theater amid a row of children. Another photo shows him standing in the desert draped in a black cloak and headscarf, with his trademark glittery white glove.
The statement said: "Mr. Jackson is furious that his image has been used in such a misleading way, and is demanding an apology from the editors of GQ, and its publisher, Conde Nast. Mr. Jackson is also demanding that the magazines be pulled from newsstands."
Jim Nelson, GQ editor-in-chief, responded with a statement Friday: "It is very clear that the pictures in the story ... are satirical, whether it's a picture of a Michael Jackson imitator sitting in a Bahraini cinema or an image of The Gloved One standing flamboyantly in the desert.
"Mr. Jackson may feel that the person in the photographs is an `impostor,' but he is merely an imitator," said Nelson.
Jackson, 47, moved to the Gulf state soon after being acquitted of child molestation charges in California last year.

Tori Spelling, Dean McDermott Wed in Fiji
Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott
Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott were married Sunday on a private tropical island in Fiji, PEOPLE has confirmed exclusively.
The non-denominational ceremony was attended only by the bride and groom, both barefoot and wearing white. "We didn't want to wait another day to get married," Spelling tells PEOPLE. Adds her new husband, "I've never had as much of a desire to get married and make a woman my wife as I've had with her. The feeling is overwhelming. We're soul mates."
Spelling, 32, and McDermott, 39, met last summer in Ottawa while filming the TV movie Mind Over Murder.
At the time, she was wed to actor-writer Charlie Shanian, and McDermott was married to his wife of 12 years, Mary Jo Eustace. "It just happened," a Spelling friend told PEOPLE about their romance.
"No one meant any harm to anyone. You can't help who you fall in love with and who you're right with." I
n September, Spelling announced her split from Shanian, and McDermott filed for divorce from Eustace.
Spelling's divorce became final last month. McDermott proposed to the So NoTORIous star on Christmas Eve in Toronto, Canada.
His sister put out lights leading to a table for two surrounded by decorated Christmas trees. The couple rode up in a horse-drawn carriage, and McDermott presented Spelling with a diamond and sapphire ring. "It was so magical. All the stars aligned.
I have never been happier in my life," McDermott told PEOPLE at the time. McDermott has since shown his love for Spelling with tattoos, including one on his wrist that reads "Truly, Madly, Deeply, Tori" and another on his shoulder: a portrait of her.

Brooke's '3-Year-Old Diet'
Brooke Shields with daughter Rowan
Just two weeks after giving birth to second daughter Grier, Brooke Shields has bounced back into shape. Her secret? "Rent a 3-year-old and make sure you have to run after the 3-year-old and feel guilt all the time that you're not being in two places at once," she says about daughter Rowan. "It's the 3-year old diet." '
And despite Shields's concern that Rowan wouldn't be happy about sharing Mom with her new sister, things seem to be going just fine. "She shared her blanket with her so that was a huge step," the actress told us at the Westwood, Calif., premiere of the animated family film Over the Hedge. "She put her blanket in the bassinet and said,' She might need this.' " In fact, Shields made it to the screening with husband Chris Henchy and Rowan (her first major outing since having Grier) at the toddler's request. "It's the only movie I think I would come out to see at this time."
