MJ was in Beverly Hills yesterday and…just damn, man. The combination of the Zorro mask, the blue tunic, and that evil grin are all perfect ingredients for a week long intervention mini-series. What were you thinking, Michael?

Akon continues to ride Mike’s nut sack. Dig what he says to People Magazine this time:

What surprised you the most about him?
Akon: How humble and how smart he was. Sometimes you get a certain perception from how the media portrays him, but [working with him] was completely opposite. An artist of that caliber and as big as he is, you would think he would have certain qualities that you probably wouldn’t like, such as being very arrogant or stuck up. With him, it was like he had never put out a record before – he still had that hunger.

Damn. We get it already, you like Mike. But we still can’t quite digest that ‘smart’ piece. It really don’t really seem like Mike got too much goin’ by way of intellect these days.

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

Rumor has it that Mr. Thriller here has converted to Islam, and to us that sounds suspect as hell:

MICHAEL JACKSON has become a Muslim – and changed his name to Mikaeel. The skint superstar, 50, donned Islamic garb to pledge allegiance to the Koran in a ceremony at a pal’s mansion in Los Angeles, The Sun can reveal. Jacko sat on the floor wearing a tiny hat after an Imam was summoned to officiate – days before the singer is due to appear at London’s High Court where he is being sued by an Arab sheik. A source told last night how Jacko, brought up as a Jehovah’s Witness, decided to convert as he used a studio at the home of his chum to record a new album. The star – whose hits include The Way You Make Me Feel – was spotted looking “a bit down” by a producer and a songwriter who had both embraced Islam.

Mike says he can’t fly overseas to deal with that lawsuit and that is why he was looking down. Either that, or the fact that the little boys he is always hunting require him to look down, if you get what we mean.

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
