He wasn't escorted by the National Guard like Jessica Simpson at JFK, but Wacko Jacko did get to ride on a cool golf cart thingy usually reserved for old people when the pop mess popped up unexpectedly at LAX yesterday.

No one is exactly sure why His Weirdness and his young'uns, Paris, 9, and Prince, 10 (both still in Halloween costume) decided to drop into La La land.

Maybe he's in town to clear up that lil' real estate problem or visit his lovely ex-wife Debbie Rowe.
