Anja and the stars

Michael Jackson is no longer a Jehovah’s Witness - I didn’t even know he was one. And I didn’t know they would one of theirs let go that easily. Anyway, Michael has conversted to Islam according to the Sun. It is said that producer Phillip Bubal and songwriter David Wharnsby are hugely involved in this process. They’ve been very close to Michael recently and have been helping him with his problems and stuff. During that time they repeatedly told him how they thought they had become better people after they converted themselves. And now, Michael wants to become a better person himself? And is changing your name from Michael to the Muslim name Mikael a part of that?

That’s a musical even I might watch. It’s rumoured that there will soon be a “Thriller”-inspired musical on broadway. Nothing’s offical yet and nobody knows whether Michael Jackson is involved in the development. I guess he wouldn’t mind as he is in desperate need of money!

Not that we believed it at all but it’s still worth mentioning that Pamela Anderson denied the rumours that she’s dating Michael Jackson. Apparently, Michael wants Pamela to appear in one of his forthcomimg videos.

THIS can’t be true…and still, it’s one of the funniest, most spectacular and craziest rumours in months.
Apparently, Michael Jackson and Pamela Anderson have been on several dates TOGETHER! They are said to have meet in Malibu where the get-together was arranged by their people. The date was kept completely secret and so they arrived separately at the hotel where they had a few drinks. And according to a secret source the strange couple even had a second date.
I can’t help myself but I just don’t see them together. They’s really make a very odd couple.

Belated best wished to Michael Jackson who turned 50 yesterday.
I want you to remember some facts about him:

He hid his telephone number in the barcode on the “Thriller”-LP
In 2002, he stayed in a hotel in Berlin and dangled his son, Prince, from the balcony
He always wears white socks with black shoes
In 2006 he dressed up as a woman and went shopping on a market in France
He adores Michelangelo
He turned up in court dressed in pyjamas
In 1993 he was greeted with signs that said “Welcome Home!” in Africa
In 1983 he firstly showed the “moonwalk”
He and Liz Taylor used to meet every Thursday to go to the cinema
He used to spend about €150,000 a day
His favourite sentence is: “I love you”

Michael Jackson is really working on a new album. He has apparently digged himself in a studio in Las Vegas to work on new songs. To be fully concentrated he banned his kids from visiting him and he even fired the nanny not to be distracted from any woman around him. Instead, Akon and producer RedOne are very welcome to support Jacko.

Hopefully, all the effort will pay off!

Michael Jackson seems to be really broke. He cannot afford his Neverland ranch anymore and thus it will be sold on March 19th.  It’s worth about $ 25,000,000 - I’m just mentioning that in case you are interested in buying! I think it’s a real bargain as it comes with absolutely everything: furniture, the rides and even Jacko’s personal property inside.
