JACKO’S SCREWED-UP NOSE

IT WAS THE monster mash — but Michael Jackson’s nose didn’t frighten this 7-year-old kid. The pop legend met little Elissa Mingino when he dropped by a party at a pal’s house in Englewood, N.J.

He gave her the thrill of her life when he posed with her for this picture — looking more like one of the ghoulish monsters from his classic “Thriller” video than a star. As The ENQUIRER has reported, repeated plastic surgery has damaged Michael’s sniffer. The tissue in the tip of his nose has died, leaving it in a strange shape. Sorry to say this, Michael, but you really should have “freshened” your nose tape — and your lipstick — before smiling for the camera this time!
