POP star Michael Jackson wears a fake nose to cover two mummy-like holes in his face and paid $244,000 for a ``voodoo curse'' on Hollywood mogul Steven Spielberg, despite his precarious personal finances, it has been reported. Vanity Fair also reports that Jackson bleaches his skin white because he does not like black people, whom he sometimes refers to as ``spabooks''.

The magazine reported that Jackson paid an African voodoo chief who promised that Spielberg, music mogul David Geffen and 23 other people on the reclusive entertainer's list of enemies would die. The voodoo priest sacrificed 42 cows during a special ceremony and promised Jackson that Geffen would die within the week, the magazine said.

Jackson is in such financial trouble, the magazine reported, that amusement park equipment at his Neverland Valley Ranch in central California was almost repossessed.

A spokesman for Jackson was not immediately available for comment.
