Wiggles' Loss is Jacko's Gain

CANBERRA and LOS ANGELES: Agents for The Wiggles, the incredibly popular Australian children's group, announced today that Jeff, the yellow Wiggle, would be leaving the group for health reasons (a rare heart condition unrelated to jaundice, which had been the assumption given his coloring). Hours after the announcement, representatives of former Pop superstar Michael Jackson told reporters that Michael would soon be trying out for the role in the band. "The role of 'Yellow' is perfect for Michael's skin tone and bright outlook on life," noted one of Jackson's staff. "Plus, kids the world over LOVE Michael and he loves them right back - it's a great match," continued the staffer. Mr. Jackson was unavailable for comment, though sources suggest that he was already considering negotiating a swap with Wiggle Jeff for the purple outfit.
