New Michael Jackson pictures up for auction



PARIS- Twelve new photos of Michael Jackson taken in 1999 go under the hammer in Paris in December along with 700 contact sheets of the pop legend never before seen in public, auctioneers said Tuesday.
Auction house Pierre Berge & Associes said the photographs were taken in Paris in July 1999 by French photographer Arno Bani on a request from Jackson who had seen his work in the Sunday Times magazine, Style.

The pictures, which are to be published in October worldwide, were supposed to have illustrated his 2001 "Invincible" album, but the record company finally used other shots for the album cover.
In the only photograph shown to reporters Tuesday, Jackson is wearing a shiny Yves Saint-Laurent dinner suit and has blue make-up on one eye.
Bids are to start at 1,000 euros a picture.
