Jacko the Wacko
There was a brief article about Michael Jackson being in town in the Las Vegas blog.
He’s been living in Bahrain and has plans to release an albumn recorded at Two Seas Records, which is owned by Shaikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa, son of Bahrain’s king, who said the album was scheduled for release late in 2007.
Jackson has been living in Bahrain since a California court acquitted him of child molestataion charges.
He rarely makes public appearances, but has been reported seen on several occasions in shopping malls in the Gulf disguised in a woman’s abaya.
Since, just before this latest round of apparently botched medical modifications, he used to look more like Diana Ross than Diana Ross, maybe it isn’t a disguise.
He shut down Neverland after agreeing to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in back wages to avoid a lawsuit by state labour officials.
Here’s Jacko with his best friend, Uri “the spoon bender” Geller. If you don’t give this man what he wants, your silverware will never be safe again.
Jackson was best man? at Geller’s wedding.
Somehow they seem right for each other, they’re both nuts. and seem to make money off what should be a major impediment.
Geller is making a living doing the sort of spoon bending tricks, that you can learn from any magic book, while taking credit for all sorts of unprovable stuff.
(According to an account in an Israeli newspaper, the Magistrate’s Court in Beersheba, Israel, upheld charges of fraud against Mr. Geller.)
As for Jacko the Wacko. What needs to be said?
In Gellers defence, his website is mostly about self improvement and motivation, and no so much about spoon bending, although, to me, he’s still a self-aggrandizing fraud.
