Michael Jackson and Christian Audigier seem to be an unlikely pair. But, the unthinkable has happened and the two are getting together to do a collaboration on a clothing line.

There's a great line in the play Cyrano de Bergerac where our big-nosed hero, Cyrano, tells his friends that despite what others might say, he believes his famously large honker is actually the source of his strength and virility.

Apparently, the British model Sophie Dahl, granddaughter of writer Roald Dahl, needs to bone up on her 19th-century dramas because girlfriend has serious desecrated the nose her parents gave her (right photo from 2001). As you can see from the recent photo on the left, Sophie's nose is teetering perilously close to Michael Jackson status, which is really a shame because she has a truly interesting, beautiful face.

But you know what they say, "Once you go Jacko, you never go backo."

Of course, Sophie Dahl isn't the first woman out there to go overboard with rhinoplasty. I've collected some of my "favorite" celebrity nose jobs in a gallery for you to check out. If I left one out, leave a comment, and I'll add it to the collection.

In yet another strange twist of fate for the ex-King of Pop, Michael Jackson is about to lose a number of his most iconic costumes, all because his family stopped paying rent at the storage facility where they were housed. After the family failed to pay the bill, the costumes were seized to cover the cost. Now dozens of hats, the Bill Whitten red coat pictured at right, and a countless number of crotch-grabbing gloves will go to the highest bidder.

Apparently Jackson tried, but was unable to stop the auction. However he was able to convince the storage facility to donate at least a percentage of the profits to charity -- which makes sense, as I'd be shocked if he'd run up a bill that he and/or the sale of the seized items wasn't able to cover.

So, if you really, really want a piece of Michael Jackson memorabilia, head to Las Vegas, where the auction is taking place. The former pop star was actually invited to sit in on the auction, so -- if you're lucky -- you might even get to see the man himself.

Whatever you may think of Michael Jackson (the hypobaric chamber, the cosmetic surgery, the baby-dangling, etc.), you can't dispute that, in a more innocent era, the man had a lot of stylistic pull.

Nowhere is this more apparent than the so-called Michael Jackson jacket, red leather jacket with silver mesh venting at the shoulders. This jacket, for me, defines the mid-80s. First, everybody saw the jacket in the video for "Beat It" (still one of the greatest videos ever). Then everybody saw it in the video for "Thiller". Then -- miraculously, it seemed! -- it was available for retail purchase.

Needless to say, everybody -- or nearly everybody who listened to pop music, at least -- had one. And, lucky for us, all of these jackets have been put away, burned and/or donated.
