Prince and Paris To Bear Witness?

The media report that Dr Conrad Murray's defence team are considering calling Paris and Prince (two of the late Michael Jackson's children) to testify at Dr Murray's manslaughter trial.

The "game plan", according to the media, being that the defence will argue that Jackson was already an addict, and that the children will testify that they often saw their father "under the influence".

I am not quite sure how claiming that Jackson was already addicted helps Dr Murray.

Prince Helps The King

Prince is advising the "King of Pop" Michael Jackson on how to save his career.

Jackson has allegedly turned to Prince for help with his comeback.

Prince has advised Jackson to play a series of acoustic shows in Las Vegas.

The New York Post quotes a source:

"Prince has been suggesting that Michael play a sequence of unplugged concerts in Las Vegas just Michael and the microphone. No gimmicks, no costume changes, no smoke or mirrors, just his voice."

Earlier this year Prince had snubbed Jackson's offer of a joint tour to help him re-launch himself on the world stage.

Prince Snubs King

Prince has snubbed the "king of pop", Michael Jackson, by refusing to join him on a comeback tour.

Jackson asked Prince to perform with him on a planned comeback tour. However, Prince delcined citing that he was busy.

A source is quoted in The Sun:

"Michael seemed pretty gutted about it. He said he's approached Prince to see if he would like to work together. But Prince wasn't interested in gigging with him.

There would be so much hype surrounding (his) first gig, it would end up turning into the Michael Jackson show.

Prince had his own plans. He is a legend in his own right. He doesn't need to be supported by anyone."
