His next fashion statement? Burka chic

If you’ve been worried about Michael Jackson following his 19-month trial, the finale of which that he was cleared on child-molestation charges, don’t worry. He’s having a grand old time in the United Arab Emirates .

“In contrast to the frail Michael Jackson cleared of child abuse charges in June, the king of pop appeared relaxed and friendly during his ongoing visit to this Gulf sheikdom,” the Associated Press reported today .

Among other things, Jackson reportedly ate Buffalo wings, took a speedboat ride to a luxury villa on a manmade island, sped around the Emirate with a race-car driver and even visited the Dubai Hard Rock Cafﾎ . Life in Dubai, it appears, agrees with the 47-year-old entertainer.

And why not? He reportedly owns or is buying property in Bahrain, 300 miles up the coast from Dubai, which is where he’s been since the trial’s end.
