Blame Sosa's New Look on 'Cleansing': Pal

Despite lightened skin, 'he's not trying to be Michael Jackson'

Share

(Newser) – Retired slugger Sammy Sosa comes off as a bit vain, but he isn't bleaching his skin or "trying to be Michael Jackson," a friend says of the photos that took the sports blogosphere by storm last week. "He can't believe it is such a big deal." The friend, like Sosa a former Cubs employee, tells the Chicago Tribune he's just "going through a rejuvenation process for his skin. Women have it all of the time."

Sammy Sosa and guest arrive at the 2009 Person of the Year honoring Juan Gabriel at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, Nov. 4, 2009, in Las Vegas.

I didn't know the Crest Strips work on skin too - no he's not bleaching his skin -- just whitening it would be my guess Reply
