Celebrity Justice
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.

16. 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!

17. 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.

18. # 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.

21. 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.

24. 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.

25. #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?

29. Number 9 and 10. With people like BUSh, and Ken lay wrecking lives everyday, misleading people, if someone want to be stupid as in the last case with MJ to try and orchestrate a scheme as the rest of them were able to do and win...then they should pay the attorneys cost. Yes, MJ did put himself in a line of fire. That lady had a wrap sheet, and the other man that got away with it...was someone behind on child support. SO we really don't need to be so judgemental when we don't have all of the pieces to anyone's puzzle. And even if he does not pay his bills on time. TRUST me he is living a much lavish life than the two LILIPUTIANS on this site ...that are worried about it. Nobody is perfect, we all make mistakes...and people like Brittney, Michael, Lindsey, and Nicole they are still human beings...and no one should position themselves to throw stones at them while they are down. YOU COULD VERY WELL BE NEXT!

30. Speaking of broke people...why has Donald Trump's name not come up? He too is in the red, and has to resort to doing shows that are much ado about nothing. Rosey, pointed out how he too is a SCAB! So, I guess MJ is in DAMN GOOD COMPANY!
