It’s no secret that everybody wants a piece of Michael Jackson – granted the pieces people generally envision themselves having are little chunks of nose in a sandwich bag or the darker skin he used to always wear in the 80s. The latter we think would look great spread out in front of our gas-powered fireplace.
But not everybody aims to have Jackson’s skin stored somewhere in their house. No – some people would rather have his money. Take his old PR rep for instance – she’s currently suing him for 44 million dollars.
Just when Michael Jackson catches a break and finds out several governments around the world are no longer intending to force a public auction of everything he has ever owned (or whatever), he finds out that the only person he has ever actually liked is throwing $44 million onto the pile of lawsuits already raging against him.
Right when his lungs started working properly again, too.
We actually don’t know if Jackson really liked Raymone Bain – but she sure thinks he did. At least enough to contemplate for a millisecond actually paying her that much money in a court ordered lump sum. $44 million is a lot of dough you know. Sure – you may think it’s not a big deal for Jacko since his under-age son is about to become an indentured singing sensation, but it would still take an awfully long time to stockpile that sort of loot.
We’ll let TMZ break everything down for you:
“We just got our hands on the lawsuit filed by Raymone Bain, Michael Jackson‘s longtime publicist. This is the best …she’s suing for $44,000,000, plus attorney’s fees…In all fairness, Bain claims she ran every single aspect of Jackson’s life … which raises the question, shouldn’t he be able to sue her? Bain says she arranged his housing, paid his bills, ran his companies [into the ground?], saved him from foreclosure, and on and on.”
This probably sounds like a pretty unfortunate situation for ol’ Mikey – that is until you realize it presents him with a rare opportunity. Think about it – Bain says she did absolutely everything for him. Sure, it’d be pretty expensive, but this is a chance for him to lay the blame for Invincible squarely on somebody else’s shoulders.
If he plays his cards right he could settle out of court, dust himself off and return to a musical legacy that’s back to only being semi-tarnished.

YOU KNOW SOMETHING FOLKS,
I DO NOT KNOW MICHAEL JACKSON PERSONALY, BUT AS A CHILD STARTING IN THE SINGING BUSINESS. I’M SURE THAT MICHAEL ISN’T THE ONLY PERSON THAT PEOPLE HAVE THEIR HANDS STUCK OUT, BUT YOU JUST REMEMBER HE IS A MAN AND A HUMAN BEING. HE HAS A MOTHER WHO LOVES HIM, HE’ HER BABY. BUT AS FOR HIS FATHER, WELL FROM WHAT I HEAR HE WAS JELIOUS OF HIS OWN SON WHEN HE WAS ONLY FIVE YEARS OLD. SO HE HAD A FATHER WHO WAS VER ABUSIVE TO HIM. THAT WAS WHEN THE BROTHERS STARTED GETTING MARRIED, AND SET OUT ON THEIR OWN. MICHAEL MADE IT. HE STARTED THE NETHER LAND PARK, AND FOR CHILDREN WHO WAS DYING, MICHAEL GAVE THEM EVERYTHING THEY WANTED. BUT THE CHILDREN OWN FATHERS AND MOTHERS STARTED SUING HIM FOR SEXIUAL ASULT ON THEIR CHILDREN. UNTILL THAT STARTED HE WAS KING OF POP. WHAT HAPPENED TO PEOLE?
GOD SAID, NOT TO JUDGE A MAN, BUT IF YOU JUDGE A MAN MAKE SURE YOU GAVE A RIGHTIOUS JUDGEMENT, BECAUSE IF IT WAS FALSE, THEN YOU WILL BE JUDGED BY THE JUDGEMENT IN WHICH YOU JUDGED. SO FOLKS, BE CAREFUL WHAT YOUR TONGUES SAY.
Julian Mentat says
How did Mr. Jackson get the title “King of Pop”?
Is there a panel of judges who award it?
Was there a predetermined test for him to pass?
Is this title valid for life? Why? Who says?
If I say he’s not King Of Pop, can you prove me wrong?
WILL SCHA says
Dead or alive, Michael Jackson was a pediphile and regardless of his talent should have been shunned by all people who care about children. Shame on anyone who takes up the cause of this monster.

Oh gosh! Please get your facts straight.
1. Michael Jackson settled out of court in the 1993 case. The 1993 accuser (now a grown man) refused to testify to help the 2003 prosecution. However, the mother of that boy testified positively for Jackson in 2003.Would she do that if her son was actually abused? She claimed she signed the 1993 documents for fear of losing custody of her son to his biological father – the one who started the case against Jackson. Jackson was ACQUITTED of all charges in the 2003 case by a court of law (no African- Americans were on the jury).
Jackson has been in the spotlight his entire life. Despite these accusations, massive international police investigations, and the full focus of the media hunting for anything to incriminate him, NO PROOF has EVER been found of abuse or inappropriate actions towards children. NOTHING.
In contrast, the accusers in both 1993/2003 have a very dubious history – previous scams, cons, professional and financial misconduct.
In 1996 Evan Chandler (bio father of 1993 accuser) sued Jackson (and 300 other ‘co-conspirators’) AGAIN. He claimed breach of the 1993 civil contract. Reason – he said Jackson had repeatedly denied the charge in several interviews and in song on the HIStory album. (Jackson had always stated his innocence even on the civil suit agreement). What did Chandler want this time? Another $60 million dollars and: “He also wants an album. Not a copy of HIStory, the Jackson album he cites in his suit. Chandler wants a court order

Well written. Agreed absolutely. Michael Jackson was destroyed by many the prejudiced Americans and mediaboilds. The mediaboids created the lies and people belived without understanding the truth. Shame!
