Michael Jackson, aka “Wacko Jacko”, turns 50 today! So what does the pop singer have planned for his birthday?
Rumor has it that Michael Jackson would be making a comeback to showbiz on Sunday’s Grammy Awards. Justin Timberlake might be opening the show by singing along with a tape of Frank Sinatra. Then Michael would follow up by singing one of his hits from Thriller. He was known to be rehearsing in a studio in California recently.
Michael Jackson looked very good on the cover of Ebony magazine because of airbrushing techniques. In reality, his face looked sunken and ageing. Photographers noted this when they snapped him at Jesse Jackson’s 66th birthday dinner party.
Ebony is a magazine for black Americans and yet they showed a pale looking Michael sporting straight, uncharacteristic black hair. It was with Ebony that Michael gave his first interview in the last 10 years. It was to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his most successful album, Thriller.
Meanwhile, Dlisted reported that there was a rumor circulating about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s interest in buying Michael Jackson’s Neverland ranch. There was a post on Neverland here.

Michael Jackson’s Neverland is listed in the report for foreclosure and Notice of Default , in the Santa Barbara County. Michael owes $23, 212, 953, on an outstanding loan of $23, 000, 000. Apparently, Michael owed 3 installments on his mortgage. The press contacted Michael’s P.R. staff but they have remained silent on this.
Michael Jackson is the cover model for Ebony Magazine, in their Dec. 2007 issue. During the photo shoot, the crew said that Michael was sweet. He asked questions like a reporter and displayed an innocent curiosity about everything.

The best news in music for this week.
British band Radiohead is starting a new business model for selling music. They leave it to their fans to pay whatever they like to buy their music! What happens if the fan is broke and pays one cent?

According to FoxNews.com, Michael Jackson is being sued by Prince Abdullah of Bahrain. The Prince apparently offered Jackson and his three children a place to stay out of the public eye after the 2005 child-molestation trial. Jacko allegedly agreed to make a CD and start a record company with Prince Abdullah in exchange for his kindness. The Prince is demanding in his lawsuit that Michael begin work on the promised CD.
It isn’t likely that Prince Abdullah will recoup his investment in Jackson. The former pop icon hasn’t recorded or performed professionally in years. Reports allege that he’s like a nomad wandering with his children. We’re wondering if there will be a tell-all book released by the Jackson children someday.

… And a Hand too
Michael Jackson and a hospital are being sued by the family of a patient who died after the King of Pop was rushed there for treatment. Now the family of 73-year-old Manuela Ruiz alleges that she was ‘treated like cargo’ and roughly moved from her E.R bed when Jacko and his entourage arrived at the hospital. Gomez died later that night, after suffering a heart attack earlier in the day.
Hell… everybody is suing Michael.
