Michael Jackson cut short his $10M birthday appearance at the 25th birthday party of Brunei's Prince Azim this weekend, because he claimed that he was "ill".
Jackson had been paid $10M to attend the party at the Prince's country estate in England this Saturday. However, he left early claiming that he had food poisoning from the party buffet.
Jackson allegedly said:
"I am feeling ill and so weak. I had to go to the bathroom to vomit. I think it must be the food. I feel terrible.
I want to go now! Please call the prince, I want to say goodbye."
There were no reports of any of the other guests, eg Jerry Hall and Roberto Cavalli, falling ill with food poisoning. Neither is it clear as to whether Jackson will refund the Prince for his non appearance.

Vegas Show In Doubt
Michael Jackson's plans for possible comeback shows in Las Vegas are under threat, as he has reportedly demanded £100M to perform.
Not surprisingly those who are expected to fork out the £100M are of the view that Jackson is "taking the piss". Therefore talks have broken down.
I'll do it for £10M!

Party Party!
Michael Jackson is to be paid $10M, to attend Brunei's Prince Azim's 25th birthday party.
A source is quoted in The Daily Mirror as saying:
"Absolutely no expense has been spared for his party - Michael Jackson is his all-time idol and he said he’d pay whatever it took to get him over.
Even though Michael won't be performing, the very fact that he'll be in this stately home mingling with all of the prince's pals makes it worth every penny to Azim."
The party will take place this weekend.
Should Prince Azim be reading this, I am happy to attend his party for a mere $100K!

Lawyers for Michael Jackson have dropped a law suit that attempted to block an auction of Jackson's personal belongings and other Jackson family items.
Jackson didn't appear in a Las Vegas court on Friday, where his lawyer told a judge that a confidential agreement had been reached with representatives of an auctioneer, the current owner of the materials, and a New Jersey man who claimed a warehouse full of Jackson memorabilia after a failed business venture wound up in bankruptcy court.
Gregory Cross, a lawyer for Jackson, told Clark County District Court Judge Elizabeth Gonzalez:
"The matter's been resolved."
Lawyers declined to describe terms of the agreement.

Slaughterhog
Family disputes often bubble to the surface, sometimes decades later. Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson's sister, has just demonstrated this.
Janet claims that Michael used to tease her about her weight.
Quote:
"He called me names. You don't even want to know! They're not very nice - slaughter hog, that's not very nice. There, I told you one, I'm not telling you any more. It gave me a complex. I've got issues."
Get over it!

Another Trial
Michael Jackson faces another trial, set for June, this time concerning money that he allegedly owes Darien Dash.
Dash claims that Jackson owes his company, Prescient Acquisition Group of Hackensack, $48M for refinancing a $272M bank loan and arranging $537M so that Jackson could buy out Sony's half interest in The Beatles' catalogue of songs in 2004 (during the child molestation trial).
Dash's attorney, Steven Altman, is quoted as saying:
"Many business people were unwilling to risk public association with a man who was then widely viewed as the world's most notorious paedophile."
Jackson's lawyer says:
"Michael is not going to be hijacked by the threat of fraudulent claims."
The trial is set to start on June 18th.

The Big Kid
Mark Ronson, the music producer, has likened Michael Jackson unto an 11 year old child.
Ronson first met Jackson when Ronson was a child guest at a socialite party.
Ronson says:
"I guess he did some bad things but never to me. He was a bit funny, running around and giggling like an 11-year-old boy.
He was never able to have any kind of childhood himself. Because of that he's ended up in a bit of a state."
