Jacko Jacked to Cut Jackpot Album  

Posted Apr 25, 08 11:10 AM CDT in US,  Arts & Living,  Gossip    Most Covered

(newser) – Michael Jackson is depending on his next album to stave off encroaching financial ruin. That’s why, 2 days ago, he banned his kids from his Las Vegas studio, swore off women (did he ever like them?) and recruited music masterminds RedOne and Akon to produce a money machine, the New York Post reports.

"Michael is producing the album himself and then will sell it to a record company when he's finished," a source said. "He realizes this is very important and doesn't want any distractions." Meanwhile, he's said to have “dumped” his children’s nanny, who he was reportedly seeing, and won’t entertain any “personal relationships” until he finishes the album.
