Michael Jackson King of Pop Squares Off With Prince of Persia

Don’t get too excited folks.  The match of seemingly epic proportions is actually going to go down in a courtroom.  The son of Arab monarch Sheikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa is suing Jackson for a butt load of money, more specifically $7 million, that he payed in advance for a still missing album and book.

The lawyer said Jackson and the sheikh became close friends and at one time both lived in a palace in Abu Dhabi owned by Al Khalifa’s father, Sheikh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, Bahrain’s king. The singer stayed nearly a year in Bahrain as a guest of the son, but the relationship soured when Jackson repudiated a business deal Thanki said they had agreed to.

“I saw the payment as an investment in Michael’s potential,” the sheikh said in a statement read out by his lawyer in court. “He said he would pay me back … through our work together.”

Let me just remind you that this guy took an interest in Jackson during his first molestation charge in 2005.  A lesson to every prince out there: keep your money to yourself.  You’d be better off paying hot women to feed you grapes and homeless people to fan you all day than paying a famous dude to keep their hands out of little boys’ pants and actually get to work.
