The late Michael Jackson said he bleached his skin not to get rid of his dark-colored skin, but to make his Vitilgo less noticeable.

Former Chicago Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa doesn’t have Vitilgo, but his skin has become noticeably lighter lately.

Rebecca Polihronis, who used to be a Cubs employee, told the Chicago Tribune that Sosa is going through a rejuvenation process for his skin:

“Women have it all of the time. He was surprised he came out looking so white. I thought it was a body double. Part of (the photo appearance) is just the lighting.

“He is in the middle of doing a cleansing process to his skin. The picture is deceiving. He said, ‘If you saw me in person, you would be surprised. When you see me in person, it is not going to seem like the picture.’

“People who saw him in person did not react the same way. He can’t believe it is such a big deal.”

We’ve gotten word from Nick at Nite that a Munsters remake is in the works. Sosa is the lead candidate for Eddie Munster.
