Michael Jackson wants to be a 50 foot robot

Michael Jackson may build a 50-foot robotic replica of himself for Las Vegas if he decides to launch a regular show in the casino city.

The giant Jacko would be visible from incoming flights as it stalked the desert shooting laser beams, the firm behind the design told the New York Daily News.

The newspaper also reported that according to one source former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney was considering investing in the potential long-term show.



A spokesman for Sir Paul told the newspaper: "I don't comment on the business of his business."

Andre Van Pier has apparently designed the Jackson robot and sketched out a stage set featuring a giant audience-interactive video game with human cyborgs controlled by the audience.

"Michael's looked at the sketches and likes them," said his partner at Luckman Van Pier, Mike Luckman.

As for the 50-foot robot? No word on whether a 10-foot robot will be by its side.
