NORM: Michael and Vegas UPDATE! Things are happening...

Here is another VERY recent Vegas trade article. Check it out. Michael and a Vegas show are getting closer to happening..

---
On the 2nd May we reported the Hilton Hotel in Vegas had been in talks with the King Of POP and a special announcement was about to be made. Here's the latest news coming from Vegas:

The MGM announced that the Hilton headliner and America’s Got Talent winner Terry Fator has signed a five-year deal to perform at The Mirage in Las Vegas. But the real story of the day wasn't Fator. It was The King of Pop, Michael Jackson.

Even during the news conference it was evident that the MGM conference was a day late and a dollar short, overshadowed by rumors and rumblings that the Michael Jackson Vegas revolution had begun.

"Michael Jackson was able to keep Neverland Ranch after a loan on the California property was sold to Colony Capital LLC, a Los Angeles based international private investment firm. NOW. Guess who Colony Capital owns? Give you a hint: Between late 2003 and early 2004, Park Place Entertainment Corporation sold the Las Vegas Hilton to an affiliate of Colony Capital LLC for about $280 million. So connect the dots for me, kiddos. An affiliate of the company that owns the Hilton greed to hold the $23.5 million loan it acquired from Fortress Investment Group while it negotiates “payment terms.” And Jackson confirmed he is in discussions with Colony and its founder, Tom Barrack Jr., "with regard to the ranch and other matters." Wonder what they’re NEGOTIATING about? Could it be … A SHOW?"

As of yet, neither Michael Jackson or The Mirage have confirmed the highly rumored show.

There's no way in hell they'll get him on a stage in Vegas.

Never. That man's mind is GONE. He's suffering from Thrillerchildstardivaitis.

He'd mule drugs before he'd do Vegas.

Sounds like he's moved to New York...

Jacko: Neverland East in Upstate New York

Michael Jackson has settled his Neverland Ranch issues for the moment, as I told you a couple of days ago.

So here’s the latest on his living arrangements. According to sources, Jackson is moving to upstate New York.

Specifically, I am told that Jackson has either bought a home or one has been purchased for him in or around Poughkeepsie, N.Y.

The sales price is said to be in the $1 million to $2 million range. It’s said to be a gated property with several bedrooms and a large backyard where his three kids can frolic.

No word on whether this will turn into a Neverland East with rides and a zoo. Let’s hope not.

The curious part of this story is that yet another benefactor may have purchased the home for Jackson. Jackson, for some reason, has turned Tennessee Williams ’ phrase "the kindness of strangers" into his private credo.

If and when he makes the move, there’s going to be a buzz. The Poughkeepsie area is a small one, so neighbors there should notice pretty quickly if a black man in white face and long, flowing, synthetic black hair wearing a Sgt. Pepper suit and sunglasses suddenly turns up at the Dairy Queen with three kids in beekeeper suits.

And that’s not all the Jacksonian news. The singer has agreed to appear on a new album by will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas. It’s a tentative step toward coming back to his career.

Sources say the new duet is payback for all the work will.i.am did on Jackson’s updated "Thriller" album. The 25th anniversary special has passed the 3 million mark worldwide, which is quite an achievement. The single may be the first step in Jackson’s plan to record a whole new album. It would be his first in seven years.
