Lawyers to Jacko: You Never Paid Us Backo

JackoAnother batch of Michael Jackson's former lawyers claims the Gloved One screwed them out of dough. Who doesn't Jacko owe money to these days?!

In a lawsuit filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, the King of Pop is accused of stiffing celebrity super-lawyers Lavely & Singer out of $113,750 in legal fees. According to the documents, the lawyers set up a payment plan for the singer to pay off his $180,000 debt, but Jackson never ponied up the final installment.

It's the second time this year that a team of Jackson's former lawyers has accused him of skipping a bill. As TMZ first reported, a Delaware-based law firm sued Jacko in June, claiming he never forked over $109,994.48 he allegedly owed them for acting as "general counsel" in a case against a concert promoter who accused the singer of backing out of two New Year's Eve concerts in 2000.

A rep for Jacko was not available for comment.

Yah, and who's pocket is that tax going to come out of loser. Sure the heck, not mine. It does not matter who or what he is, you pay your bills just like everyone else does. Get a life you idiot. And people wonder why I am so glad that I am not American. Thank God for that, with retards like you living there.

18. Because you are a loser and recklessly spend all your money no one should correct a dime for this freak. He had more money than all us combine 10 times over. Life is hell and it's like that for the rest of us why not him!!!

19. Wasn't he in Saudi Arabia? I was hoping he would finish changing his transgender freak ass and join a harem over there, and I would be spared any more news or pictures. Crap!

20. What's really funny is Paul McCartney will probably end up buying the beatles portfolio of songs at a substantially reduced price than he would have originally paid, because of Wacko Jacko's desperate need for funds...

let me play along ..so lets say for fun he sell it back at a reduce price ..which isn't going to happen because the higest bidder will step up ...nobody wants to lose out in getting thier hand on that; even paul said his bank book is open to buy back and he is desperate ; mikey will not only get more ..but will be able to buy a few islands. every year mikey is going BROKE and it never happens ..this is all wishfull thinking.

21. # 8 and # 9, You guy's rock! Debra Opri is a man in real life, someday I will prove it.
She tucks her wee wee between her legs when she wears pants. Michael Jackson
is a pervert . Maybe Don Imus, Michael Jackson, Debra Opri and Al Sharpton can have
a foursome.

24. hahahahahaha..... Jacko is over. His nose will falloff on liveT.V., and he will drown in his on stupidity. When will people wake up and realize these dopes mean nothing. Being able to sing, dance etc... doesn't make you smart, nor should we think their money / talent mean their opinions are any more valid than ours. The people we need to look at and emulate are the ones that get up and go to work everyday. They keep not only our nation afloat, but the economies of the rest of the planet. As Americans, we are the heroes of the world, and if I were another nationaity, I would believe the same.

25. I do not understand this, michael jackson is living a private life. He is not in the public light, he does not live in hollywood. Why does this website feel the need to report anything about him. How do you report anything on someone who is not living a celebrity life. I am sure there are many hollywood types out there, doing parties and going to movie coming. If you hate this man so much and you feel he is nothing and he is lower than dirty, why waste space on your website reporting anything about a person who does not want anything to do with a public life at this time.

26. Michael Jackson is a wonderful and gifted star. He has given away more money than all you losers put together. There will always be "want-a-bes" hanging on the shirt tails of rich people to get what ever they can. Maybe the layers need advertizing and this is an easy way to get attention without them paying for it!! Did you ever think of that. Another thing, if people were not so "sue happy" Michael wouldn't need all those layers. He made his money on his own. If you want to be rich then get out there and work for it.

29. I can't believe people idolize MIchael he is such a fake!!!! He doesn't even love himself. Look at all the plastic surgery he has done, geez he looks like a ugly Mannequin.

30. #34 Who has he given money to? He is just another idiot celebrity who feels he can get things for free and that laws of decency do not apply to him! If you incur an expense, you pay for it. I hear he has a reputation of also going into very expensive stores, 'buying' lots and lots of expensive things and then not finalizing the purchase. Luckily, the merchants did not send the stuff out, but he had the stores closed to everyone but him!
I am surprised his 'friend' Liz Taylor does not help him out. He is just a loser now who no longer wants to work but just wants to live on his 'past'. Well, too bad, so sad. And look what he does to his poor kids. Covers their faces. Wonder how they will turn out?
