Apparently Michael Jackson wants to work with Eminem. This is despite the fact that Eminem satirised Jackson in a music video "Just Lose It" three years ago.
Jackson is quoted as saying:
"The guy is a lyrical genius and I would love to work with him."
Jackson has recently acquired the rights to some of Eminem's biggest hits, after he purchased Famous Music LLC from Viacom.

More Support
Michael Jackson received support from Stevie Wonder yesterday.
Stevie Wonder criticised Eminem for ridiculing Jackson in his video "Lose It".
Eminem refers to Jackson's plastic surgery, and the child molestation charges faced by Jackson.
Stevie said:
"Kicking someone when he's down is not a good thing....I was disappointed that he (Eminem) would let himself go to such a level..."

MTV Frets Over Eminem
Eminem had planned to dress up as Michael Jackson, during the opening ceremony of Europe's music awards at Rome's Tor Di Valle.
However, MTV (the organisers) were afraid that this would be too offensive.
However, Eminem still performed "Just Lose It" whilst surrounded by children.
In the song, Eminen acknowledges Jackson's recent charges, singing:
"Come here little kiddie, on my lap. Guess who's back with a brand new rap? And I don't mean rap as in a case of child molestation accusation."

Jackson Loses It
Michael Jackson upped the ante, in his ongoing spat with Eminem, over Eminem's video "Just Lose It".
Jackson's fans, about 20 of them, assembled outside of MTV studios in Times Square in New York yesterday; they were protesting about the Eminem video.
Oddly enough, Fox news were covering the "impromptu" event; and had a "mystery" caller live on air.
No mystery, it was Jackson; who said:
"It's demeaning and disrespectful....I love them (my fans) so much...."
"...And I also want to make it clear that it's not just about Michael Jackson but about a pattern of disrespect that he has shown to our community," Jackson said of the white rapper.............He needs to stop it, and he needs to stop it now..."
Black Entertainment Television (BET) has agreed to stop broadcasting the video, but MTV has ignored Jackson's request.
The video shows a Jackson look-alike on a bed surrounded by children.
In the song Eminem says:
"Come here little kiddie, on my lap. Guess who's back with a brand new rap? And I don't mean rap, as in a case of child molestation."
To see the interview on Fox please click here Jackson Fox interview.
Eminem's fans were unimpressed.
I have said it before, but will bore you all again by repeating myself. Jackson needs to concentrate on the more pressing, and urgent, issue of his forthcoming trial.

The King is Dead, Long Live The King
It seems that in the eyes of music executives, Michael Jackson is no longer the king of pop.
The ongoing spat between Jackson and Eminem, over Eminem's "disrespectful video" about Jackson "Just Lose It", has polarised the Jackson camp and the rest of the music world.
Jackson has demanded that the video be pulled from all of the music networks. Only Black Entertainment Television has complied, the rest have "cocked a snoop" at the request.
Even MTV, once Jackson's best buddies in the music world, have ignored his request.

Make you own mind up, by viewing "Just Lose It" here.

Time To Prioritise
It is reported that Michael Jackson, clearly feeling that he does not have enough court appearances scheduled, is going to sue rapper Eminem over his new music video.
Apparently the video, "Just Lose It", mocks the Jackson.
The video features Eminem dressed as Jackson, losing his cosmetically enhanced nose; he then jumps on a bed with young children.
Eminem than proceeds to vomit, and douses his flaming hair by sticking his head down a toilet.
Charming!
Jackson has branded the video "disrespectful", and by all accounts is determined to have it banned.
Reports indicate that Jackson is "going crazy" over this.
In my opinion, for what it is worth, no matter how tacky and "disrespectful" others in the media are; Jackson should focus on the real issue, namely the possibility that he may lose his liberty.
I would say that the molestation case should be far more worrying to him, than any video; I think that it is time to prioritise what is really important.

Place Your Bets
It is reported that BetOnSports.com are offering a veritable smorgasbord of betting opportunities on the Michael Jackson trial.
Those that have a gambling bent, can bet on Jackson's guilt or innocence; or take a punt on whether Eminem will buy Neverland.
Side bets can also be placed on whether President Bush will be the first human to land on Mars, who Donald Trump will hire in "The Apprentice" and how much weight Mary Kate Olsen will gain.
There is no limit on the ways that humans will find to waste their money.
