Lets Get This Party Started
Wacko Jacko: I Wuz (Nearly) Robbed!

Posted Jun 17th 2007 3:04AM by TMZ Staff

In a case scheduled to go to trial this week, the King of Pop claims his current money troubles were caused not by his own outrageous spending or money mismanagement, but by disloyal and dishonest friends and advisors. Reports the Daily News, Jackson claims that during his 2005 kiddie-sex trial, some of his closest "friends" tried to swindle cash and property out of him. And he credits the Reverend Jesse Jackson and billionaire buddy Ron Burkle for helping him see the light.

Jackson is currently being sued by Prescient Acquisition, which claims that Jackson owes them more than $48 million for helping him refinance a bank loan to buy out Sony's half of the Beatles' song catalogue that Jackson owns.

Posh Spice Not So Nice?

On Thursday, Victoria Beckham launched her new denim line dVb to a packed crowd at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York. The Spice Girl created the line in partnership with premium denim label Rock & Republic, and while Beckham publicly cooed about how much she loved the new line, Gatecrasher reports that behind the scenes, Posh Spice was a fashion disaster. "Victoria was horrible to work with - indecisive and inconsistent and generally not present at all. She attached her name to it but didn't want to do any of the work -- unless she was promoting the line in front of the cameras, of course." The source also reports that her partnership with the label has been terminated. No word from the Beckham camp.

1. "On Thursday Victoria Beckham launched her new denim line dVb to a packed crowd at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York. The Spice Girl created the line in partnership with premium denim label Rock & Republic"

NULL and VOID. Victoria worked with Western Glove Works on the denim line, not R&R, that was 2 years ago.

5. Those are the ugliest jeans I have ever seen. Who told this woman she had taste and class. Let's show her some video of the spice girls and remember.
Let's not confuse money with class, haven't we learned anything from Britney.

7. She seemed pretty hands on from the public side of things to me...her denim manufacturer is the Silver line of WGW, as noted before, and she personally flew here to Winnipeg to meet with the manufacturers several months ago. Nice pics of her arriving at Wpg's JA Richardson Intl Airport on the front page of our tabloid paper. According to reports here, she was very hands on with those details...

9. This Jackson freak died five years ago, only no one ever got around to telling him. Bury the corpse already, his face is enough to pull paint off the ceiling.

10. It would really be sad if in fact Jackson was swindled during his sex trial. When you are at your lowest point - trusted people will still take advantage of you.

He will probably never reclaim any of the money - it is likely all gone. The best he can do is press criminal charges if there is evidence.

His records are no longer selling like they once were and he is not a big tour draw in the USA, so he had better scrutinize his finances and be extremely careful about whom he trusts in the future!!!!

11. Who would possible want to rob micheal Jackson? his looks alone could scare any mugger or a vampire to death. Jackson used to be a nice looking man before he horribly overdid the plastic surgery. The surgeon who performed his surgery should never be so foolish to advertise that he did Jacksons surgery, That could surely ruin his business. Jackson should take that money of which he almost got robbed and sue the hell out of the person who performed that awful surgery on his face.

13. Has anyone noticed that the pair of jeans that Posh is holding up are like bigger then her. I can picture her before the shoot, "Now give me a pair that will make me look gauche, now." I mean not only are they wider then her but longer. I do admit though that very few jean manufacturers make petite sized jean 5'4" and under that are classy. The short people only get plain jeans unless you can fit into kid's sizes.

15. If you have a flat behind or no behind at all, those stars on the cheeks of the jeans should work well. I think she should design something that is flattering for the average figure and great on the pipe thin figure.
