Jackson Poker Faced on Vegas Gig

Posted May 20th 2008 1:54PM by TMZ Staff

Jackson to play Vegas? Michael Jackson could become the next Celine Dion, and we're not just talkin' wardrobe.

TheVegasEye reports the guys who just bailed Jacko out of Neverland debt may be angling to put him on stage in Vegas.

These money men run Colony Capital, a group that owns the Las Vegas Hilton. Colony just forked over the green M.J. needed to keep Neverland out of foreclosure.

So, you ask, what's in it for Colony? We're told Vegas money is on Jackson headlining there and raking in a much-needed jackpot. Colony has the venue -- it's where Barry Manilow performed -- and now the leverage to moonwalk his ass back on stage.

Jacko's peeps didn't return our calls for comment.

33. Oh shut up you fools. Michael Jackson is NO CHILD MOLESTER unlike some of you on this board who seem be child molester. you idoits needs to let that go and be mad at the people who set this man up. That is why Michael is still popular and people are still supporting him. His cd is doing GREAT. So anyone who want to believe the lies, go right on ahead, Your "beliefs" does NOT make it fact that Michael abuse no child. Yes, I am sure children will still comes since children still perform his songs in school plays and contest. No one with a brain and who wanted to know the truth believe the lie about Michael abusing no child. GET OVER IT. People are NOT going to see a child molester, they are going to see Michael Jackson.

34. Go Michael and do your thing. Glad Michael is back on stage. He is the best regardless to what some idoits on this board think. Their views do not define you Mike.

39. Angela, that question was posted and many people said yes they would let him babysit. Beside to me, that is really a stupid question and does NOT prove anyone is a molester or not. Most molester do NOT deal with kids they way Michael did, A molester can be someone on this board who is poises as someone who calling Michael a pediphile when in fact, they are the real pediphile. Let it go. the case is over and people need to stop bring up this mess about Michael. I think most people have move on. That is why his music is still played and he is number one on the charts with thriller 25. Let old lies die. ANd yes, Michael will do will with U S A fans.

40. Costa. It proves NOTHING. Cher is rich and she performs. Get with it. This is 2008 and singers have many ways of many money. Prince uses the internet and many are now using Vegas. MONEY IS MONEY regardless if you travel around the world or perform in Vegas. This show how dumb some people on this board are when it comes to making money.

41. MICHAEL JACKSON CAN GIVE A @#$ ABOUT WHAT ANY OF YOU @#$% HAVE TO SAY. I DOUBT MICHAEL IS UPSET OVER A BUNCH OF STRANGERS WITH NO LIVES WHO SIT AT COMPUTERS AND TYPE MESS ABOUT CELEBS WHO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HIM OR OTHERS. HE DOES NOT GIVE A @#$ ABOUT YOU NOR ME. SO GET A LIFE.

42. Actually, jommya, i didn't ask you, but since you took the initiative to answer...
I agree that some of the posters on this site could be child molesters, only they will know.
But to hear someone say "let it go" when mj being a child molester is brought up is beyond a shadow of a doubt the most ignorant post i have read today. There are young boys and young men who have been traumatized by this disgusting being. Why don't you tell them to "let it go"? Idiot!

43. One major problem with Jackson having a long-term gig is that he is prone to not showing up for events he schedules.

That doesn't work well with paid-in-advances audiences, in my opinion.

44. There never was, nor will there ever be again a performer even remotely as entertaining nor as energetic as MICHAEL JACKSON. Were he to go on tour, or even put on shows in Vegas, they would SELL OUT each and every time, without a doubt. People from around the globe would travel to see him perform. I'm sick and tired of all the MJ-clones who do nothing but imitate him poorly--Chris Brown, Justin Timberlake, Usher, Ne-Yo, etc. etc... It's time for the KING to retake his rightful throne... Even those criticizing him behind their keyboards would rush out to get tickets if he'd announce a show. When he put on the last American concert in 2001, the tickets sold out in record time and were 20 times more expensive than any other ticket.
