Attorney: Michael Jackson too sick to travel
A Saudi billionaire wants his day in court, but Michael Jackson is too sick to give him one.
This, according to one of Jackson’s attorneys who says Jacko is too sick to travel to London to answer a suit claiming he owes an Arab sheikh $7 million.
Excuses, excuses. Jacko has pulled the sick card so many times we’ve lost count!
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.
Al Khalifa’s attorney says his client bankrolled a record label to the tune of $7M and wrote songs for Jacko’s failed comeback album.
The joint venture between Jackson and the Sheik was said to include a new Michael Jackson album, an autobiography, and a stage play.
The autobiography alone was expected to rack up $24 million, and Al Khalifa expected to reap the profits on his $7 million loan to Jacko.
But Jacko’s lawyers say the deal was between Al Khalifa and 2 Seas Records, a venture which never got off the ground.
Thanks to loyal reader K Dub for the tip!

I hate that he is so sick all the time.
Get well soon Michael Jackson!
Yeah he’s sick alright….sick in the head! LOL Poor MJ
Ha Ha Ha that’s right Mikey. MJ is the best that ever did it.
What he needs to do is get on board for that Jackson tour he keeps turning down. Jackson 5 with Mike And Janet.
His plastic is melting, melting, melting…..(in my wicked witch of the west voice)
@katgirl33…………We’re giving it a new name…”Touched in the Head”……Mike’s case is a little more EXTREME than others……..
Uhm I don’t know why this man is fu(k’n with these ppl money!
Abdul, Sharif, and Al Khalifa ain’t ya’ normal round the way Pookie, Ray Ray and Skillet that send idle threats. Abdul and nem’ got some “Saudi connects” to fall back on.
Michael better quit playin’!
HE SCARES ME!
Michael should have used pro bonos.
I feel sorry for Bubbles…………Where in the hell is Bubbles at now……..Mike dun turned the monkey out…..
Mike HAS gotten away with Far Worse than stealing some Billionaire’s money… He probably strained his stomach from Laughing-So-Hard at the fact that A Billionaire IS tripping about some pocket-change ;-)
That statue is ALL wrong.
First off, why does he have blonde hair with gold tips? Secondly, his nose and lips are TOO big! WTF? LOL And finally, WHERE IS THE GLOVE!!!!!!!
i went to see this exhibit at the MCA in Chicago…it was SCARY…it’s the type of exhibit that’ll make your have nightmares…it was really spooky…you should’ve seen the look on everyones face when they stopped there…

I bet he did strain his stomach, but it wasn’t from laughing.
Let him keep playing them about some “pocket change”, they gone find what’s left of them plastic parts and bones, shot up in a shallow ditch somewhere. LOL
@ prynn … that6’s what I was thinking, he should opt to not play w/ their $.
We can add him to the WASTE of talent also.
people still messing with michael? damn…
@ prynn … MJ would go missing … no evidence left behind. Either that or stay in hiding.
I miss Michael Jackson….He is due for a come back, he just needs to get himself together!!!
A come back, please.
Please, NOT!
lol. no surprises here. If he is in fact sick, I hope he gets better. but I highly doubt he’s sick. Poor guy.. lol.. people just won’t give MJ a break.. he will always be gettig sued.

I think Michael was on that “Fantasy Ride” Ciara was talking about.

I think that was the ONLY time we had cable. LOL I think more or less ppl tuned in to see Magic Johnson. That was when he first announced that he had the ABCD/HIV-AIDS syndrome.
that is my fave song, video, all that @prynn. i love it even more than thriller.
“say say say..whatcha want….but dont play games with my aff–ection….”
imma be singing that all day. maybe the rest of the week!
My baby daddy Mike got more issues than a little bit, but I still love him.
Back in the day, Mike was the bomb! Hell, he created the first music video Thriller! (I feel sorry for the poor fella.) I’ve never believed for a minute that Mike was a pedophile. Strange, sure, strange looking, even more so but not a pedophile. He would have been busted long ago by little people such as Maculey Culkin and Webster, along with adults such as Elvis’ daughter who married him, with children! Look at all the Catholic pedophile priests that get away with child molestation, destroying many, many innocent young lives over the years. These are the evil people, hiding behind God. I hope Mike makes a brilliant comeback and show America what he’s truly made of: genius. Peace.
