MJ has settled his dispute with a Bahraini prince over millions:

Pop star Michael Jackson has settled a Bahraini prince’s lawsuit accusing him of failing to honor a business deal worth $7 million.

“Sheikh Abdullah and Michael Jackson are pleased to confirm that they have amicably settled their dispute which was in litigation before the High Court in London. They wish each other well in their own, respective endeavors,” the two sides’ legal teams said in a joint statement Monday.

Details of the settlement will remain secret, lawyers for the sheikh said, adding that confidentiality was one of the conditions of the agreement.

The multi-millionaire Bahraini royal had claimed he bailed Jackson out of a financial hole following the singer’s expensive acquittal on child molestation charges in 2005, paying the $2.2 million dollar legal fees and hosting him in his home in Bahrain.

The sheikh accused Jackson of reneging on a contract for a new album and an autobiography — a deal that he says included a $7 million advance.

According to The Associated Press, the 33-year-old said the pair even moved into the same palace in the Gulf state to work on music together. But Jackson dropped the project in 2006, leaving Bahrain and pulling out of the contract.

Jackson’s lawyers maintained the money was a gift and argued that the musician wasn’t bound by the deal because the contract was signed on behalf of 2 Seas Records, a venture which never got off the ground, AP said.

This little transparent nicca is never going to grow up, trying to pull a stunt like this. MJ could have gotten his entire nose pulled off for f*cking around with homeboy’s stacks like that. SMH

Michael is too feeble to travel and can’t make it to the trial in Europe:

LONDON (AP) — Michael Jackson’s attorney said Tuesday that the pop star might be too sick to travel to London to testify in a suit claiming he owes an Arab sheikh $7 million. Jackon is seeking to give his testimony by video link from the United States. “It would be unwise for him to travel, given what’s he’s got now,” lawyer Robert Englehart said, declining to elaborate “for the obvious reasons.” Al Khalifa’s lawyer, Bankim Thanki, said the medical evidence presented by Jackson’s legal team was “very unsatisfactory” and Jackson’s illness could be treated with a bandage “if the diagnosis is positive.” “It’s not the first time a sick note has been presented by Mr. Jackson,” Thanki said, also without elaborating. The judge, Nigel Sweeny, said he would decide the matter Thursday to allow time for medical experts on both legal teams to talk. Sheikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the second son of the king of Bahrain, claims that Jackson reneged on a contract for an album, a candid autobiography and a stage play, after accepting millions from the sheikh. Al Khalifa was in court Tuesday for the second day of arguments and testimony. The case is being tried in London by mutual agreement, Al Khalifa’s representatives have said. It is due to wrap up by the end of the month.

Did someone forget to mention to MJ that he was going to be flying in a plane and not hang-gliding to London? Of course MJ is weak, hell, he’s had the body of a 12 year old girl for the past 20 years, but that’s nothing a turkey sandwich and a glass of milk can’t fix. SMH

Michael Jackson has asked Chris Brown for help in creating a fresh version of Thriller for tomorrow night’s World Music Awards performance which will be Jacko’s first UK performance in nine years. I am sure Chris Brown’s parents will have some nextel walkie talkies watching Jacko’s every move and monitoring his personal phone calls from Jacko. SMH. My bad, Chris Brown may be the wrong shade for what Jacko “may” like.

SMH at them fighting over the bed and the kid saying “it was fun that night” near the 2:00 minute mark. SMH at Jacko saying to the kid “Sometimes I call your house so late”.

Bossip has learned exclusively that Michael Jackson will finally marry Grace Rwaramba this weekend in Switzerland. Sources tell Bossip that Grace has wanted to marry Michael for some time and has ambitions to go on a humanitarian crusade to help people with Michael.

Michael is said to have intentions to spin his public image and “get ready” for a custody legal battle with former-wife Debbie Rowe. Grace has been calling all the shots with Michael since he left the United States for Bahrain. Even The Jackson family must get approval from Grace to speak to him.

There is speculation that Grace had an affair with Michael’s brother Jermaine in 1999-2000. She was formerly married to Stacey M. Adair in Las Vegas in 1995 but Adair is said to have died sometime during the marriage. Grace is of Rwandan ancestry and attended college in Massachusetts between 1986 and 1990.
