I’ve often found myself pondering, “What would [insert various celebrity’s name here] taste like as a milkshake?” In case you’re wondering, Paris Hilton tastes like blueberries and whipped air. Lindsay Lohan tastes like a milkshake with an egg added – one of those orangish brown one with speckles all over. Heidi Montag tastes like one with whipped cream – and nothing else. No substance whatsoever under the top. Tila Tequila tastes like a scrunched up kiwi. Or maybe scrunched is what happens to your face when you drink your Tila Tequila shake.

Now I was pretty sure La Toya Jackson would taste like raspberries, orange syrup, and chocolate flecks – and be served in a frosted glass. But apparently La Toya is much more complicated than that. Complex, if you will. And now she’s donating her time and culinary skills at Millions of Milkshakes, where she’s designed her own freaking disgusting combination.

Her milk shake brings all the funds to the cause? With any luck, yeah. La Toya Jackson’s first attempt to honor her late brother’s legacy was a musical one. Next up in her tribute tour: a Michael Jackson-honoring milk shake.
She turned up at West Hollywood’s Millions of Milkshakes last night and, like Miley Cyrus, Lindsay Lohan and the Kardashians before her, concocted an eponymous ice cream beverage that will be available for a limited run through Oct. 31.

Proceeds from the drink (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, skittles, mixed nuts, caramel, whipped cream and a Cadbury flake, for what it’s worth) will be donated to the AIDS Project Los Angeles, as AIDS research was one of Michael’s chief causes.

La Toya herself will be back in the store on Halloween to serve customers—at least some of whom are bound to show up in inappropriately themed King of Pop costumes.

Raspberries and a frosted glass? Why did I imagine something so comparatively refined and elegant (as milkshakes go) for La Toya? I looked at a few pictures of her and noticed she tends to wear a lot of frosted makeup, and her lips are often done in berry shades. But I clearly forgot the obvious (nuts), or the fact that nothing goes better with THREE different kinds of berries than a candy flavored like a variety of angry psychedelic fruits.

La Toya’s definitely grabbing at her chance for attention, and I feel like I need to allow her that right now. I do find this Millions of Milkshakes concept in general to be really strange. Maybe it’s because I live in New York and we’re not really a milkshake and/or smoothie town. Though we’ve got gourmet cupcakes in spades. I just can’t imagine people lining up for milkshakes in the vast quantities you’d think, based on how much attention Millions of Milkshakes receives. Of course it’s not a bad idea to pile in as many celebrities as possible. Could anyone forget Lindsay Lohan’s infamous and unhygienic Millions of Milkshakes sideboob? La Toya’s shake sounds a lot better now, huh?
