Pat gets an anonymous no-prize in the mail for letting us know the latest on everyone's favorite rich weirdo, Michael Jackson:
Authorities want Michael Jackson back in court — this time as a juror. Jackson received a jury summons at his Neverland Valley Ranch, four months after he was acquitted of child molestation charges.
...
It's unlikely that Jackson will show up for jury selection. His lawyers have filed paperwork for a deferment based on the fact that he now lives in Bahrain.
I seem to recall our fav Bahraini blogger Mahmood mentioned this, but I thought MJ was just visiting at the time.
He's been there since about two weeks after the trial. He was making all sorts of noises about coming back here and getting people together to omake a record to raise money for Katrina relief. Never heard anything else - perhaps the "We are the World" crowd isn't up to recording with Michael these days.
