Lawyers Might Nix Jackson's London Gigs

Contract for family concert series puts comeback in question

(Newser) – London may never see Michael Jackson’s much-ballyhooed comeback concerts, TMZ reports. A contract Jackson signed for a reunion tour with his sister and brothers forbade him from making another concert deal for 18 months. Lawyers for that tour say Jackson’s London series violates the pact. Jackson’s position is that he didn’t sign the contract personally, but since his agent did, that argument might not hold water.

Looks like he got stills from the original Planet of the Apes and took them to his plastic surgeon and said, "I want this look". No offense Dr. Zaius.
