Jackson Says Sayonara To Tokyo

Michael Jackson’s much-ballyhooed Christmas appearance in Tokyo has been nixed.
The singer was scheduled to meet and greet fans in the Japanese city’s Studio Coast on December 19, but his spokeswoman now says that the event won’t happen. Instead, he will appear at a “Fan Appreciation Day” in Tokyo in March, and some are saying that tickets sales were sluggish because of high prices.
The price of the tickets had elicited shock and some outrage among fans, with some tickets costing as much as $3,300 — for the opportunity to meet, greet and be photographed with the star; $1,600 bought merely the meet and greet. Eventually cheaper tickets costing about $425 were added, but outrage over the prices, which didn’t even include a performance, continued to grow.
“We want to be as inclusive as possible to all of Michael’s fans,” Broderick Morris, CEO, Positive Productions, the company staging the event said in a statement, announcing the new event. Prices and the venue for that event have not been posted.

Drag Queen Stalking Michael Jackson

There's something about the King Of Pop that simply strikes the fancy of drag queens - perhaps it's the uncanny resemblance between them.
However, Michael Jackson is reportedly living in fear for his life after being stalked by a transvestite who has become completely smitten by the music icon.
Jacko - who recently sparked controversy by reportedly wearing women's clothing during a day out in St. Tropez - is said to have hired four bodyguards and is wearing a bullet-proof vest at all times, after receiving a number of threatening letters.
A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper, "This person is plaguing his life and has sent some seriously dodgy letters. They are from a man who works as a drag queen in the seedy Kings Cross area of Sydney, Australia. The content is eerie to say the least and this person is seemingly obsessed with Michael."
The alleged stalker - who goes under the name of Melanie - has bombarded the 48-year-old King Of Pop with up to 100 lewd letters a day, begging him for a relationship and asking for his hand in marriage.
The source added, "He writes all kinds of things, saying he knows Michael and wants to marry him. He tells Michael he needs to marry him. Michael has been having problems sleeping because of this guy."
