Superior Court Judge Robert A. Schnider has rejected Nona Paris Lola Jackson's claim that, due to a rumored sexual relationship with Jackson, she should be named the legal mother of Michael Jackson's three children.
Nona Jackson has described herself as a "black Jew born in Britain". However, despite her claims, she presented no evidence that she had ever contacted Michael Jackson regarding her filing.
Nona Jackson claimed that she had indeed contacted Michael and ex-wife Debbie Rowe prior to the legal case. On this basis she claimed that she should be involved in the lives of Prince Michael Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince Michael II.
Nona Jackson, who rather incongruously signed her own lawsuit "dudu", was given a second chance by Schnider after he ruled that she could file a similar suit as soon as she had appropriately served all interested parties.
Expect more on this in due course.

Jackson To Do Charity Work
Allegedly Michael Jackson will travel to Rwanda next year, to perform charity work there.
Jackson is reportedly eager to improve health care and education.
Kije Mugisha, the Deputy Director General of the Rwandan bureau of information, said:
"Michael Jackson will be here in June 2007, he confirmed this.
Michael Jackson is eager to know how many hospitals are in place in Rwanda and how he can help in improving people's health here.
He promised to do what he can afford to do. It could be in terms of equipment or any other assistance. We shall get to know much of that when he is here in June next year."
Cynics might argue that it may be unwise for the people of Rwanda to pin too much hope on Jackson doing anything for them; as the peopled devastated by hurricane Katrina can testify, they are still waiting for Jackson's much hyped charity single.

The $4500 Christmas Party
It has now been confirmed that Michael Jackson will come to a Christmas party being staged in Tokyo on December 19th.
However, unlike the World Music Awards debacle in London, he will not be performing.
Those fans who have the desire, and cash, to attend this event will have to fork out a mind numbing $4500 per plate.
This will entitle them participate in a "meet and greet" event. However, those who pay a "mere" $2500 per plate will only get some food and a signed photo.
Value for money?

Jackson Plans Another Comeback
It seems that, despite the drubbing that Michael Jackson received for the World Music Awards debacle last week, he is game to have another go at relaunching himself.
Jackson is planning a comeback in the New Year with the help of David Blaine, the magician.
A Jackson "source" is quoted as saying:
"There is nothing more sacred to Michael than his electricity on stage, press reports claimed he will never sing again like he used to, they are in for a shock.
The attacks have personally hurt him, he has always prided himself on his abilities as a live performer. His response will be dramatic and the answer is going to be onstage, it is something nobody else could create."
Seemingly Jackson spoke to Blaine shortly after the World Music Awards debacle.
Cynics might take this latest "comeback" story with a large pinch of salt. After all, the world is still waiting for the charity release aimed at helping the victims of last year's hurricane Katrina.

Jackson To Launch Film Career
Michael Jackson has reportedly decided to give up singing, and instead focus on film making.
Following on from the debacle of his performance of "We Are The World" at the World Music Awards last week, his "sources" are telling the media that he now wants to produce pictures.
Last week's shambles has provoked some public mud slinging. On the one hand Jackson's team are blaming the organisers for the shambles, and allege the Jackson's mike was deliberately cut off after four lines of his song.
Whilst those who actually worked on the event, are laying the blame fairly and squarely on Jackson and his entourage. A backstage hand is quoted as saying:
"You should also know that Michael himself asked for the track to be shortened by four minutes and then he walked on stage late - basically when he felt like it. He is not really an entertainer anymore - and his 'people' are a joke.
A huge team came with him and not one of them had a clue. Celebrities are notorious for being tricky backstage, but in all my 15 years in the biz - this was the worst I have ever seen. Neither the venue or the crew were to blame for anything. MJ gets what he deserves".

Jackson Booed Off Stage
As widely predicted, Michael Jackson's appearance at the World Music Awards in London last night was an embarrassing failure.
He started off badly by not greeting the fans, who had been expecting him to sing "Thriller".
Needless to say Jackson did not sing Thriller. Instead, in what clearly was a pr blunder of the highest magnitude, he was placed on stage with a choir of children.
I wonder what the pr people behind this stunt were thinking?
Jackson, having told the crowd how much he loved them (an overused showbusiness term lacking any sincerity whatsoever), then launched into a rendition of "We Are The World".
His voice then cracked four lines into the song.
At this stage the crowd began to boo, and started stamping their feet before Jackson left the stage.
One onlooker was quoted in a tabloid as saying:
"When he stopped singing no one could understand why. But when he started rambling a lot of people lost their patience.
That's when the booing started and got louder and louder until he left the stage."
Jackson claims that the story that he would perform "Thriller" was a "misunderstanding". That being the case, why did his pr machine not correct that misunderstanding before the event?
The auguries, warning that this event would be a flop were there for all to see.
Jackson had been making backstage demands totalling £250,000. Within these demands he included personal hair and make-up artists, a private jet and 20 first-class plane tickets for his entourage.
Not content with pissing off the awards organisers, he decided to also annoy the Hempel Hotel, in London's Bayswater area, where he was staying at £6,300 per night.
The hotel had to erect an 18ft wall on its first floor to provide more privacy for him and his three children, Prince Michael, Paris, and Prince Michael II.
Seemingly many other hotels had already turned down his request for accommodation.
It seems that he is now trying to live off past glories, the question is when will the money and patience of the fans run out?

Christmas Dinner With Michael Jackson
Those of you who are fed up with the endless round of turkey dinners over the festive season, may find the prospect of having Michael Jackson for dinner an interesting alternative.
That at least is what the promoters of the "Premium Christmas" are hoping. The organisers are expecting Michael Jackson to appear at a Christmas party in Tokyo.
If Jackson agrees it would be officially announced this week, and will be held in Tokyo on December 19th, at a cost of a "mere" $3400 per plate.
Jackson will not have to sing for his supper, merely be there whilst recorded music is played.
Those with the platinum tickets would be allowed to "sit nearer to Jackson", and have a group picture taken with him.
Surely there are better ways of wasting $3400?

The Freak Show
Speculation is mounting that the appearance of Michael Jackson at the World Music Awards in London on 15 November, will in fact never happen.
Jackson has said that he wants to do a live recreation of the graveyard scene from "Thriller" to finish the show. Some are now unkindly referring to the awards as "The Freak Show".
One tabloid has said of Jackson:
"He looks dreadful and hasn't performed for years, I fear it's going to be a humiliating freak show which he will regret."
The smart money is on Jackson pulling out before the show, citing "dehydration".
