In response to stories that Michael Jackson was in St. Tropez wearing women's clothes, his representative has stated:
"Mr. Jackson has not visited St. Tropez in recent years, nor has he donned a woman's hat and pumps for disguise."
Here is the original story as it appeared in The Sun.

Jackson Crossdresses Again
Evidently Michael Jackson has developed a liking for wearing women's clothes. A few months ago he was spotted in a Bahrain shopping centre, dressed as a woman. Now he has been spotted again, this time in St Tropez, dressed as a woman.
Jackson was wearing a large floppy sunhat, three inch pointed heels, skinny fit women's jeans and a fluorescent orange handbag.
Jackson is on holiday on the French Riviera, with his three children.
He is the guest of Prince Alwaleed, a nephew of Saudi Arabia's King Fahd, on his private yacht Kingdom 5KR.
Jackson wandered around in this outfit, with his daughter Paris, through the backstreets then stopped off roadside for a rest. Paris was dressed in a similar fashion, but then again she is a girl.
As the old British saying goes:
"Now't so queer as folk".

Rehashing The Past
A Michael Jackson CD/DVD box set will be released by Epic Records November 14.
Visionary - The Video Singles will feature 20 Jackson hits, plus accompanying videos to the songs. The tracks include "Thriller", "Bad", "Rock With You", "Billie Jean" and "Heal the World".
Rehashing the past is all well and good. However, the question is, will Jackson ever write and release a new song?

Parental Eviction
Michael Jackson has quashed reports that his parents, Joe and Katherine Jackson, might be evicted from their Los Angeles home.
It has been reported that Jackson's parents are facing foreclosure on their home in Encino, California, and that they have asked their son Randy to beg Michael for financial help.
Given his own financial problems, I would have thought that this was a long shot.
Needless to say, this being the Jackson clan, nothing is ever simple. Reports indicate that Randy wants the $3M he lent Michael, during his child molestation trial, back.
The National Enquirer quotes an "insider" as saying:
"Randy claims that he was the only one who kept Michael afloat, by handling his finances as Michael was desperately fighting to keep himself out of jail on child abuse charges."
Michael's publicist Raymone Bain has ridden to the rescue stating that the eviction stories are "absolutely untrue", and that he isn't "aware" of any claim by Randy against Michael.
The trouble is, Michael being unaware of a claim and there being a claim may well be two different issues in Michael's world.

Home Detention
Jeffrey Borer, the former owner of a private jet company, was sentenced yesterday to six months home detention and three years of probation for secretly videotaping Michael Jackson as he flew to Santa Barbara with his attorney to surrender in the 2003 child molestation investigation.
Borer also was also ordered to pay a $10,000 fine and serve 150 hours of community service.
Borer and co-defendant, Arvel Jett Reeves, admitted that they installed two digital video recorders to record Jackson and his lawyer on the trip to Santa Barbara in November 2003.
Reeves was sentenced in July to eight months in prison, and ordered to spend six additional months in a halfway house and pay a $1,000 fine.

Rowe and Jackson Settle
Michael Jackson has settled his legal battle with ex wife Debbie Rowe, over visitation rights for their two children.
Rowe filed legal papers to reinstate her rights in 2003, after Jackson was arrested on child molestation charges.
Rowe's lawyer Marta Almli said:
"We're still dealing with the details but it addresses all of the disputes between the parties. I can't say anything about the terms of the settlement but I don't think it would have happened if both parties didn't agree it was appealing to both of them."
Jackson's attorney said:
"My client is very satisfied with the results. Hopefully (Jackson and Rowe) can both get on with their lives now and be through with this litigation."
It is rumoured that one of the main inducements to Jackson to wrap this up, was the threat of having to undergo a psychiatric examination. Rowe's lawyers had already lined up Dr. Mary Lund.
Hands up all those who think that there will be no further litigation between Rowe and Jackson?
Can't see any.

She said that the trial "took its toll on the entire family."

Jackson's Tapes Held
It seems that Michael Jackson's decision to split away from Bahrain's Two Seas Records, which he confounded, has not gone down very well with his ex founding partner Prince Abdullah of Bahrain.
Prince Abdullah has blocked the release of Jackson's much vaunted charity single, and is refusing to hand over the master tapes.
Seemingly the Prince has bankrolled Jackson to the tune of $3M, and is pissed off that Jackson has walked away (apparently due to the Prince's desire for more female voices on the record).
The question is, who will bankroll Jackson now?

Jackson Splits
Michael Jackson has split with the Bahrain based record label, Two Seas Records, only five months after signing on.
Jackson's spokeswoman, Raymone Bain, confirmed that Jackson is no longer affiliated with the label; even though he cofounded it only last April, and even though it was to be used as the vehicle for his comeback album.
Jackson formed Two Seas Records with Bahrain royal family member Abdulla Hamad Al-Khalifa. It had been planned that British music executive Guy Holmes would serve as CEO and oversee production on Jackson's new disc, which had been aiming for a 2007 release.
However, it is reported that the deal between Holmes and Jackson had never been formalised. Quite what Abdulla Hamad Al-Khalifa, who has tried to help Jackson, thinks of the split is not reported.
Needless to say, this volte face brings into question the likelihood of Jackson ever releasing his much vaunted Hurricane Katrina benefit single "From the Bottom of My Heart".
It seems that in order to keep himself in the public eye, and to appear to be busy, Jackson has formed the Michael Jackson Company to oversee his finances and to possibly become a record label.
Reality will eventually hit home, when the money runs out.

Jackson's Exile
The recently unsealed papers from Michael Jackson's ongoing custody battle with his former wife, Debbie Rowe, over their two children have revealed a warning from Jackson's lawyer, Thomas Hall:
"Even though he is absolutely innocent of any such charges, Michael may be subject to arrest, prosecution or an investigatory detention if he was to return to the United States."
Jackson currently resides in Bahrain, where he cannot be extradited from to the USA.
Basically, if Jackson returns to the USA, he is a marked man.

Leprechauns
There are a string of conflicting stories swirling around the media at the moment, concerning Michael Jackson.
No surprise there then.
These ones concern Jackson's reported desire to open a 500 million Euro theme park in Ireland, populated by leprechauns.
A spokesman for Jackson has retorted that the stories are "erroneous and ridiculous".
At least the stories have given Jackson, who seems to have given up creating music, some publicity.

Ant Swore at Jackson
There's a headline I didn't expect to be writing!
Well, attention grabbing headlines apart, it seems that Adam Ant (ex pop star from the 80's) allegedly swore at Michael Jackson twice over the phone because he thought that it was one of his friends pretending to be Jackson.
However, when Jackson's record producer Quincy Jones called Adam Ant (real name Stuart Goddard) that he realised that in fact Jackson had called him.
Ant said:
"We spoke on the phone a bit. The first time he called me I thought it was one of my bandmates taking the piss.
I told him to fuck off twice.
It was only when Quincy Jones rang me up later that I realised it really was Michael!
He eventually invited me to his place near LA for the day. He was just a very charming and gracious host, but very shy.
He showed me around his animals - there was no monkey at the time - and we watched the movie White Heat in his private cinema. That was before it went all crazy for him..."
Ant has subsequently had mental issues of his own.
Quite why this story is now only surfacing, some 23 years or so after the alleged event, I have no idea.
I can only assume that someone needs some publicity for a book, or career relaunch.
