Here is a translation of this article for you:
from Italian Vanity Fair (issue n. 40 – 11 October 2007)
2 trucks full of clothes. 178 pairs of shoes. 2 million dollars in jewels. Four Seasons Hotel, New York, September 14. Michael Jackson makes the scene. To celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Thiller, the best selling album in history, L’Uomo Vogue decided to photograph the main character: a discussed celebrity and now an “invisible” one, a man we’ve seen in the last 15-20 years in stolen pictures, and who hasn’t agreed to pose for a long time. But for L’Uomo Vogue, and for a photographer of Bruce Weber’s stature, Michael makes an exception. Under the hypnotized eyes of fashion editor Rushka Bergman, the popstar chooses classic style: black jackets and white shirts. Meanwhile on the set, to heat up the atmosphere, someone just puts on the music from Thriller, and the troupe start to dance. MJ enters and everyone stop, in silence. But he [Michael] asks to pump up the volume, starts to move and doesn’t stop, while the camera continues to take pictures. You’ll find the outcome of the sample you can see here in the October issue of L’Uomo Vogue. But many fans, all over the world, have already had a preview of it for a “mole” published some shots on the internet (who knows where they were stolen from) and the very-clicked gossip website shared them, spreading the sensational exclusive all over the web.?
