No Gee-Q For Wacko Michael Jackson Michael Jackson doesn't have a sense of humor - especially when the joke's on him. The singer is demanding that GQ pull a photo spread and article about him from newsstands. The article called "Where's Michael?" documents writer Devin Friedman's quest to find Jackson in Bahrain, the Middle Eastern country where he lives. The photos' feature a Jackson look-alike siting 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. "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," says a statement from Jackson's lawyer. GQ editor-in-chief has fired back saying its obvious the pictures are satirical. "Mr. Jackson may feel that the person in the photographs is an `impostor,' but he is merely an imitator," said Nelson. Have What It Takes? Who Wants to be a Superhero? The creator of Spider-Man and the Incredible Hulk is on the hunt for a new superhero, and he plans to find it on reality TV. Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee said Friday that his new reality show "Who Wants to be a Superhero?" breaks new ground. "I've never lived in a world of reality," the 83-year-old writer quips to the AP. Eleven wannabe superheros — whittled down from 200 — are set to compete in the show, which is scheduled to premiere July 26 on the Sci-Fi channel. The winning superhero will be the star of a new comic book created by Lee. The reported catch-phrase for those who don't make the cut? "Turn in your spandex!"
