Don't hold your breath.<br /><br />A representative for Jackson can't explain why he appeared covered in gauze while shopping in Las Vegas, telling The New York Post that the singer hasn't had any medical procedures recently.<br /><br />Photos of Jackson in a Barnes and Noble bookstore in Las Vegas over the weekend showed the singer in one of his wildest public getups to date (yes, that's including the abaya -- or Arab robe -- he was spotted in back in January of 2006). Jackson wore a long coat, sunglasses, a hat and scarf inside the store. But it was the bandages covering his nose and chin that caused the biggest stir.<br /><br />Accompanying Jackson were his children Prince Michael, Paris and Prince "Blanket" Michael. The Post reports that Jackson and his kids were inside Barnes and Noble for three hours. In a sure sign that Jackson got the jump on Christmas shopping, he left the store with boxes of books.<br /><br />Jackson's bizarre appearance coincides rumors that a reunited Jackson 5 will play a gig on New Year's Eve. NME.com reports that producer Jermaine Dupri will host the band for a set at his club in Atlanta. "It’s the Jackson 5 party," Dupri told radio station V-103. "I swear to you it’s going to be the biggest party this town has ever seen."<br /><br />MTV reports that Dupri later refused to confirm the appearance of the Jacksons, only saying his party would be "a Jackson 5 celebration, meaning music is in the air and lots of J5 loving everywhere. If you're coming to stargaze and not party, don't come."<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8971420777951653109-3129115732739156319?l=michael-jackson-nws.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>788http://www.blogger.com/profile/15946261640055235816noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8971420777951653109.post-82027186507439976482007-12-14T07:51:00.000-08:002007-12-14T07:53:26.411-08:00<img style="width: 205px; height: 201px;" alt="http://hitfm.ua/ready/images/fckeditor/01.jpg" src="http://hitfm.ua/ready/images/fckeditor/01.jpg" /><br /><br /><br />Pop superstar <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://ligamusic.com/Artist/56/Michael_Jackson/mp3/">Michael Jackson</a> is in talks to embark on a three-month tour - in a bid to pay off his outstanding debts.<br /><br />Jackson is rumoured to be negotiating with promoters Aeg Live to organise three months' worth of live dates from March to May next year, with proceeds going towards repaying his $325 million debt, according to U.s. columnist Roger Friedman.<br /><br />Friedman writes, "He (Jackson) is so deeply in debt and at such a crisis point in his finances that he and (publicist Raymone) Bain may be using potential proceeds from a tour as leverage for refinancing his $325 million in loans."<br /><br />"The refinancing was due on December 1. Not only did it not happen, but Jackson is now in default on $300 million secured by his Neverland Ranch."<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8971420777951653109-8202718650743997648?l=michael-jackson-nws.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>788http://www.blogger.com/profile/15946261640055235816noreply@blogger.com0
