Executors for Michael Jackson’s estate have signed a huge deal with Cirque du Soleil. The show will travel throughout North America including the Staples Center in L.A., with it’s premier beginning in the fall of 2011.
In 2012, a second show in partnership with MGM MIRAGE will open in Las Vegas.
Sources say the shows will be worth a fortune to the estate. Cirque and the estate will split costs and profits 50-50.
The lawyer for Michael Jackson’s doctor says there will be no plea bargain in the involuntary manslaughter case, though he worries whether an impartial jury can be seated for a trial in the death of one of the world’s most famous and idolized entertainers.
“You may find after you are done watching the trial that it is not nearly as cut and dried as has been presented,” Chernoff told The Associated Press in a recent interview. “One thing that simply will never be the truth is that Dr. Murray pumped a bunch of drugs into Michael Jackson and walked out of that room. He’s not that kind of guy.”
Dr. Arnie Klein opened up to Harvey Levin, on TMZ Live, with a fountain of information regarding his friendship with Michael.
In the interview Klein, stated that he played no part in the death of Michael; and is free of accusations and guilt. Klein did however place the blame fully on Dr. Conrad Murray.
Throughout the interview Klein looked shifty, and never maintained eye contact, and was constantly looking down, and to the right, a sure sign that he was not telling the truth throughout the interview.
Klein said that Latoya Jackson spent a few nights at Michael’s rented house after the reported death of June 25, 2009.
