Michael Jackson Gigs Under Threat

Jacko seems to collect lawsuits like he once did plastic surgeon invoices. Having recently been roped by legal lassos from his ex-publicist and an ambulance driver, the star's 50-show London spectacular is now being asailed by AllGood Entertainment, a group putting together a separate show featuring sister Janet and the rest of the brood. They've issued a cease-and-desist letter, claiming that in November Jackson's manager signed an exclusivity agreement banning him from any other concerts for an 18 month period. A couple of months later, This Is It was announced, tickets sold at record pace, and Jackson's wallet swelled to the tune of £50m: the perfect target, then, for a spurious lawsuit. No response yet from camp Jackson. (Image / Herschell Hershey)
