Neverland Extension

Fox reports that Michael Jackson, facing foreclosure on Neverland for $23M secured by Fortress Investments, may have obtained an extension on that foreclosure.

Seemingly, according to Fox, Ron Burkle (big in groceries) may have interceded with Fortress and persuaded them to grant an extension.

How long Jackson has though is not clear.

Don't Believe The Hype

There is much chatter in the media over the issue of whether Michael Jackson will make an appearnce at the Grammy's, on the 10th of February.

Needless to say neither the organisers (CBS) nor Jackson have issued any confirmation or denial.

For why?

Simple, the ongoing speculation gives both the Grammy's and Jackson the oxygen of publicity which they both crave.

A definitive answer, one way or another, would kill off the speculation and the publicity.

Thriller Remake

The Daily Mirror reports that Michael Jackson intends to remake Thriller.

Jackson appeared by video at the NRJ Music Awards in Cannes, where he was awarded some form of medal, and said:

"I'm coming back. And I've got a very special treat for all of my fans.

I have been recording Thriller: 25th Anniversary, with a lot of surprise guests."

The Jackson camp claim that he will hold a European comeback at the O2 Arena in London in summer.

Time will tell.
