Jacko's Backup Dancer -- Master of the Pole

Michael Jackson will only be the second best dancer -- if he can still dance -- on the stage during his London concerts -- because one of the chicks who'll be shaking her moneymaker alongside him is a two-time pole dancing champion.

Danielle Rueda-Watts
-- one of the 12 dancers picked by Jacko -- won the Pole-A-Palooza competition at The Bank at the Bellagio in Las Vegas in both 2008 and 2009 ... and came in towards the top at the pole contest at Jet Nightclub at the Mirage in 2007.

No word on if Michael is gonna pay her in ones.

This would be a great story, except one thing.
This woman IS NOT one of Michael Jackson's backing dancers. The names have been officially released and she is not on the list. Nice try, but you can't fool everybody with made up 'news'

poor dancers...think they will be special......1) Will Pedohile Mike pay them? We all know he doesnt like to pay out unless its to some 10 year old hes been molesting 2) Why would anyone want to dance behind this pedophile or even be in the same room as him? so you dancers get ready to not be paid...............

TMZ staffer,

why you had to call him Jacko??? He is dead, show some respect to the dead, then give some to yourself!!!
