Finally an explanation as to why Michael Jackson's 1993 accuser could identify the discoloration on the singer's genitals ... Michael liked to pee for an audience.
TMZ has obtained files from the 1993 Santa Barbara molestation investigation. A deputy from the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Department noted the young accuser was able to describe -- in explicit detail -- the discoloration on Jackson's genital area ... the result of Vitiligo, a skin discoloration disorder.
TMZ's Harvey Levin spent 3 hours last Sunday with Dr. Arnold Klein, Jackson's best friend and doctor for decades. Dr. Klein insists Jackson did not molest the boy, and says the reason he could describe Jackson's genitals is because Jackson liked to pee in front of other people. Dr. Klein said Jackson thought it was funny.
Klein says there were numerous times when Jackson would pee in the doctor's home -- in a cup!!! -- around groups of people, including children.
Klein says Jackson would also pee in front of other people in his office.
Dr. Klein says the 1993 accuser saw Jackson peeing and that's why he could identify the genital markings.

If you're counting, this makes for the fourth time Randy and Evi Quaid have failed to show up to court in Santa Barbara ... and this time, it's double their fault.
The Quaids -- who have been accused of running out on a $10,000 bill at the San Ysidro Ranch -- actually requested their case be put on the court calendar today ... and still didn't show up.
After their third no-show last week, the S.B. prosecutor told us he was filing papers for them to be extradited from Texas, where they live.

Randy and Evi Quaid's lawyer just told the Santa Barbara County D.A. they will be front and center in court on October 19 for their arraignment on three felony counts. Their defense ... it was all just a giant misunderstanding.
The D.A.'s office tells us the Quaids' lawyer said the couple -- who have been accused of skipping out on a $10,000 bill at the San Ysidro Ranch -- didn't think they had to pay the bill before they left ... they thought they could pay at a later date.
The lawyer tells us the bill got lost in the mail because they moved -- and the couple has now paid the bill in full.
The D.A. is not ready to drop the charges and will be all ears on Oct 19.
Stay tuned.

Randy and Evi Quaid may have sent a check to the hotel they're criminally accused of stiffing, but the charges aren't going to just disappear -- the Santa Barbara County D.A. wants them to come back and do some splainin'.
We've learned not only was an arrest warrant issued against the Quaids, they've been formally charged with felony burglary, conspiracy and defrauding an innkeeper. They allegedly went to the San Ysidro Ranch and racked up a huge bill -- allegedly with the intent of skipping out without paying.
A Santa Barbara County D.A. tells TMZ the case is still full steam ahead. Chief Trial Deputy Josh Lynn says, "They're going to need to come to Santa Barbara and deal with these charges. Any restitution that's been paid will help facilitate a resolution of the criminal case, but that doesn't mean it will automatically go away."
The Quaids were arrested in Texas yesterday, after Evi put up quite the struggle.

One of Michael Jackson's doctors wanted Michael Jackson to trade his dependence on Demerol for another "potent narcotic."
Dr. Alex Farshchian wrote Michael Jackson a letter -- dated July 21, 2002 -- in which he writes, "Buprinex (sic) is the potent narcotic I told you about last week. It is just like the D but better." Buprenex is an injectable narcotic painkiller.
During a search of Neverland, Santa Barbara County Sheriff's deputies seized a scribbled note -- which may have been written by Jackson and found around his drug stash -- that says "Buprenex does the same as demerol, the only difference is you can't become an addict on Buprenex." The note refers to Buprenex as "synthetic demeroll (sic)." It goes on: "2 viles, I would feel safe having it in case of axident (sic)."
Our research shows if Buprenex is taken for long periods of time or at high doses, it can become addictive.
The doctor refers in his letter to a "5-7 day program that offers you the solution." The doctor does not explain the program.

Rob Lowe got a break in court today, as a Santa Barbara judge tossed out two of the claims made against him by the actor's former nanny -- neither of which had anything to do with sexual harrassment though.
Lowe will still have to deal with the ten counts that matter -- the juicy sex allegations -- but the two allegations of labor code violations made by 24-year-old Jessica Gibson will no longer be a part of the case.
UPDATE: Gibson's lawyer Gloria Allred tells TMZ, "At the end of the day we still have nine causes of action against Lowe and we are still able to move forward with our case. The core of Ms. Gibson's claims are still completely intact and what happened in court today does not affect Ms. Gibson's ability to recover fully for what happened to her. Despite Lowe's legal maneuvering, he has not been able to affect our ability to proceed with the heart of our case."

Alert the authorities! There's a trainwreck missing! Tara Reid looks amazing!
Her tabloid target days may be behind her. The scaffolding came down from around Tara Reid, and the repair work is looking pretty good -- as she proved in this red bikini. The once blowsy blonde was spotted prancing poolside with a group of friends at the exclusive Bacara Resort and Spa in Santa Barbara this weekend, causing onlookers to wonder whatever happened to Tara Reid.
Tara's hottie "Van Wilder" times have returned -- hopefully to stay. Check your local train schedules.
