As LaToya Jackson arrived for a promotional appearance at a department store in Munich yesterday, it more apparent than ever that a catastrophic habit for plastic surgery runs in the family.

The 51-year-old appears to be following in her younger brother footsteps, with her tightly pinched nose, impossibly smooth skin and uneven cheekbones leaving her appearance in a peculiar state.

LaToya, who wore a cleavage and midriff baring outfit, once criticised Michael's obsession with going under the knife, blaming it on the violence and cruelty their father Joe showed towards his children.

Michael had the operations to remove all resemblance to his parent, she said.

It seems she's had a change of heart on the issue, developing her own penchant for altering her appearance with the help of a scalpel.

However LaToya and Michael remain divided on other issues and a well-documented tumultuous relationship.

During a 1993 news conference in Tel Aviv, LaToya publicly spoke out against Michael, accusing the Thriller singer of child molestation.

She made the allegations as she said she could no longer remain a "silent collaborator" in her brother's "crimes against small, innocent children". He was further accused of child molestation in December.

A trial followed in California which culminated in him being acquitted of all ten counts. Nevertheless his career went into freefall.

LaToya's career hasn't faired much better - the release of her album Startin' Over has been postponed indefinitely.
