Cheeky rapper Eminem is up to his old tricks again in his latest music video, this time poking fun at beleaguered popstar Michael Jackson.

Eminem is seen sitting on a bed wearing prosthetic makeup to look like Jacko, while a group of boys dance behind him; a clear dig at Jackson's current charges of child molestation.

In the video for 'Lose It', he also depicts Jacko's hair setting on fire — echoing the incident when his hair did catch fire during the filming of a Pepsi commercial in 1984.

Other targets in the video include Madonna, failed rapper MC Hammer and celebutante Paris Hilton. Eminem's previous videos have seen him mock many high profile people including Moby, Elvis, Christina Aguilera, Marilyn Manson and terrorist Osama bin Laden .
