People

By Guy D. Garcia

Will the real Michael Jackson please stand up or, in this case, sit down? The reclusive singer was at Madame Tussaud's wax museum in London last week to witness the debut of his life-size look-alike. The wax Jackson, for which the singer posed last November, has an electric bulb twinkling in its right eye, the jeweled glove on the outstretched right hand is studded with tiny strobes, and the silver waistcoat also lights up. After a close inspection, the sleek and shiny original pronounced his nondancing double to be "excellent, really good." Then Jackson went outside and, to the roaring approval of several thousand waiting, sometimes fainting fans, jumped on the top of his limousine, pirouetted and blew kisses to the crowd.
