Anything that involves Michael Jackson is bound to get weird!

So it’s no surprise then that in the case of Sheikh versus Jacko for $7 million, a “brain-power guru” should make an appearance.

Apparently Abdulla bin Hamad al-Khalifa (Who was duped harder than Sexy Sarah talking to France) spent $350,000 to import “mind-mapping and motivational guru” Tony Buzan to Bahrain during Jackson’s stay there. He hoped that Buzan could get wacko’s brain juices flowing.

He should know that Jacko’s brain juices leaked out his nose long ago!

This is, of course, on top of the lawsuit that claims Wacko did not follow through on a contract with the sheikh for an autobiography, album, and musical.

Jackson is trying to testify via video from LA and not in court in London. His lawyer claims Jacko is too ill with a yet unknamed ailment to fly.

Is vertigo genetic?

Wacko Jacko is trying to use a sick note to get out of testifying in London in a suit brought against him by Arab sheikh Al Khalifa.

The prince is claiming that Jacko owes him 7 million buckaroos for a contract that the Prince of Pop never carried through with.

Michael’s lawyer, Robert Englehart, is insisting that it would be “unwise for him to travel, given what’s he’s got now,” but wouldn’t elaborate on the mysterious ailment.

Is it Janet-like Vertigo???? That must run in the Jackson family!

Khalifa’s lawyer is not buying it, calling the medical evidence “unsatisfactory” and pointing out that this isn’t the first time Jackson has tried to squirm his way out of court.

Englehart is claiming that the $7 mill was a gift, and not the advance for the album, autobriography, and stage play that Khalifa is claiming. Khalifa, an aspiring songwriter, states he feels betrayed, as both a friend and a professional. The sheikh also bankrolled Jackson’s stay in Bahrain.

Jackson’s camp is arguing that the contract was signed on behalf of Al Khalifa’s endeavored label 2 Seas Records, which never got off the ground.

Judge Nigel Sweeney will make his decision on Thursday.

Poor Michael Jackson - he just can’t get a break.

He had to sell his Neverland Ranch and his neighbors in Vegas don’t want him there either. And that’s not even the icing on the cake.

What’s more is that now an Arab sheik is trying to kick him when he’s down.

Prince Abdulla Al-Khalif of Bahrain wants $6.5 million for an exclusive deal on an autobiography, 2 albums, and a musical that Wacko never made good on.

Apparently back in 2006, Wacko signed a contract to produce material for Al-Khalif’s label, 2 Seas Records. The prince even gave the singer a $268,398 Rolls Royce, bailed out the ill-fated Neverland Ranch, and accomodated the singer for 6 months in Bahrain after his 2005 child molestation acquital.

Hmmm…so maybe Wacko deserves it after all.

But Wacko, however, claims the money was a “gift.”

The case comes before London’s High Court today, Monday. The fallen King of Pop is not expected to appear in court.

Maybe if Abdulla Al-Khalif had been under the age of 12 Michael may have followed through!

Everyone has to grow old - or be sold - at some time.

Even Neverland Ranch.

PerezHilton.com has exclusively learned that he deeds for the ranch have been transferred from Michael Jackson to Sycamore Valley Ranch Company LLC.

The news can be verified by public Santa Barbara records.

The fantasy is over.

It sort of feels like the end of an era!

Woo hoo!

New reports claim that Broadway production giant James Nederlander is working on a Thriller-inspired broadway musical.

Ghouls, iconic choreography and Michael Jackson’s music…sounds pretty cool to us!

Or hideously awful!

Sources say not much else is known other than a production is being planned.

Will the gloved one be part of the Broadway show?

We’re sure he wouldn’t mind the additional paycheck. He NEEDS it!

Details…coming up!

Jermaine Jackson told the Australian Associated Press yesterday that the Jackson 5 will be reuniting and that it will be just like old times.

He says the brothers - including Michael - are going to go on a world tour next year AND that Janet will be their opening act. How appropriate!

Thus far, Jermaine is the only one speaking. Neither Michael nor any other Jackson is confirming this news.

Jermaine was in Aussie Land to help launch a new “greatest hits” TV channel.

He stated, “It is just the timing, so what we’ve been doing is working on the music and all the logistics. It is going to be more like a family affair, Janet’s going to open and, of course, the original Jackson 5…Michael, Randy and the whole family. We’re in the studio, we’re planning on being out there next year.”

The fam must be hard up for cash, with rumors of an MJ world tour and Janet’s tour tanking.

Really? A reunion?

That sounds like a feat greater than trying to dry Wino out.

But if and when it does happen, we don’t want to miss it!

We’ll believe this when we see it, but….

The UK’s Sun is reporting Michael Jackson is planning to embark on a 30-city tour in 2009:

“Michael said he wasn’t doing a Vegas residency but was going on a world tour, taking in 30 cities next year. He said he wanted to do it for his kids. He wants them to see what he does, and he wants to take them on the road. He said he was on his way to Los Angeles to finalise the details.”

That’s not the only thing MJ is supposedly working on!

He’s supposedly recording a new album at The Palms casino resort in Vegas. That one, we’re hearing is true, though.

MJ’s just like us!

He’s gotta work to pay the bills!

Would you come out for a gloved one’s concert?

What a pleasant surprise!

Someone pried open Wacko Jacko’s coffin and let the King of Pop out on a little shopping expedition around Los Angeles on Thursday.

He must feel safe and camouflaged among all those Halloween decorations!

But, a gust of wind resulted in what appears to be a…facial malfunction?

Oh whew, he popped that sucker back into place without missing a beat!

Just like a freaky Mr. Potato Head or something.

Look! A peace sign!

Michael Jackson’s new digs he just acquired are creating some controversy with his new neighbors.

The mansion is mere yards away from an elementary school in Las Vegas, which 600 kids ages 4 to 13 attend.

Although the King of Pop was cleared of child abuse charged three years ago, parents are understandably worried.

Jacko moved back to Vegas last year with his kids spawn, allegedly lured by casino owner Steve Wynn in a bid for a big shiny comeback show.

Michael hasn’t visited the school and it’s not certain whether or not Prince Michael, 11, Paris, 10, or Prince Michael II, 6 would be attending classes there. He’s reportedly kept it pretty low key.

One concerned parent says, “They say he can see the kids getting on the school bus from his house.”

We don’t know what he’s up to, but does he really need to get into anymore trouble?

This is great news for Wacko!

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology say they are closer to creating “artificial noses.”

The team has found a way to mass-produce smell receptors in a laboratory!

They say that these artificial noses can be strong enough to even replace dogs that sniff for explosives and drugs.

And, as a benefit, the noses will have numerous medical advantages, such as being able to identify diseases that have distinct odors, such as diabetes and lung, bladder and skin cancers.

Who even knew those things had odors?

According to the associate director of MIT’s Center for Biomedical Engineering, Shuguang Zhang, “Smell is perhaps one of the oldest and most primitive senses, but nobody really understands how it works. It still remains a tantalizing enigma.”

MIT scientist Brian Cook says, “The main barrier to studying smell is that we haven’t been able to make enough receptors.”

So the MIT RealNose project is trying to recreate the most complex sense, in which humans have 400 functional receptor genes, and dogs and mice have around 1,000 functional olfactory receptor genes.

Cook adds, “Now, it’s finally available as a raw material for people to utilize, and should enable many new studies into smell research.”

Maybe they can invent one that attaches to your face and help Jackson out!

We didn’t believe it for a second!

Failed reality ’star’, Pamela Anderson, popped in for a chat with Ellen DeGeneres early in the week and denied the rumors circulating that she’s dating Michael Jackson:

“He just wants me to be in a video. My life is so interesting. My life is a blur.”

When Ellen pressed Pam, the blonde admitted to hanging with the gloved one. But, she gave a rather odd response:

“It happens … skin cancer and Vicodin. I don’t know … I’ve a lot of interesting friends.”

Who has skin cancer?

Pam?

Jacko?

Is this part of a large Wacko/Pambo publicity stunt?

We have the ability to just picture it now….the two of them popping Vicodin and giving each other manicures!

Michael Jackson turns 50 years old today.

So how’s he gonna celebrate that milestone???

“Just have a little cake with my children and we’ll probably watch some cartoons,” he revealed this morning.

And then they’re all gonna have a pajama party, eat lots of cotton candy and paint rainbows on their faces - even if his kids don’t like that!

Wacko says he’s “having a wonderful time, just relaxing” as he celebrates his 50th.

“I feel very wise and sage, but at the same time very young,” he said.

50 is not that young, sweetie!

What does the future hold for the former King of Pop?

Well, he wants to release another album. “I am writing all the time,” he says. “I love composing and the whole thing. But I am also raising my children and enjoying it and teaching them to ride bicycles and how to read. I love it. I get pretty emotional when I see them having a wonderful time. When they are on a ride and they are screaming and they are happy… It makes me emotional, ’cause I see they are having a real good time.”

Are you taking your meds?????????

Happy birthday!!!
