Michael Jackson has done his first interview in 10 years and is currently on the cover of the latest issue of Ebony magazine. Creative director, Harriette Cole, had this to say:

“From the time that I spent with him, what I got is that he’s a man,” Cole said on the Today show Wednesday morning. “He’s 49. He’s a grown-up. If you learn from your challenges, then you become stronger. He certainly seemed like that. His voice is a bit lower. He came across really as kind of normal.”

She went on to say, “A few days ago when we were with him, he was with his youngest son. They call him ‘Blanket’ — he’s 5 years old. He is a regular 5-year-old boy. The interesting thing to me was, Michael was parenting him. Very quietly, with very few words, he was able to communicate with his son what was appropriate to do and what not. I observed Michael being a great parent.”

The magazine is on stands November 12/007.
