Ah, turns out that Michael Jackson's financial woes have nothing to do with the fact he can't walk across a room without buying it, and more to do with some dodgy lawyers. Well, that's what he's claiming.
A spokesman for the star has told reporters that he now reckons that his former legal team (I'm not sure which one, he's had quite a few) deliberately set out to make him bankrupt. The whole thing is, Jacko claims, "one of the biggest conspiracies in entertainment history". Spokeswoman-now-also-manager Raymone Bain said that the conspiracy came to light when Jackson saw documents which "reveal a deliberate plan by some former attorneys as well as associates and advisors to force Mr Jackson into involuntary bankruptcy".
To this end, Jackson's new legal people are now expected to sue his old legal people, which should prove to be fun.
