The NYT profiles Edward Moss, the faux Jacko who'll star in E!'s dramatic reenactments of the Michael Jackson child molestation trial. And lest you think that things are a non-stop party for the world's preeminent MJ impersonator, the "life" can wear on a guy:

After a decade of crotch grabbing and nonsensical phrases like "shamone," Mr. Moss says he is eager to branch out into film and television roles that do not call for a Jackson lookalike. "I would love to get away from the Michael Jackson thing," he said, a hint of exasperation in his voice. "I'm an actor. I have so much more to offer."

While we strenously disagree with the assertion that "shamone" is a "nonsenical phrase," Moss is wise to start looking for other outlets for his art. No one wants to see the guy living in a studio apartment off of Hollywood Blvd twenty years (and likely, seven Jackson molestation settlements) hence, splitting the rent with a second-rate Webster lookalike, locked in yet another argument over whose turn it is to clean the hamster cage that's been converted into a replica of the llama habitat at Neverland Ranch.
