Huge news....Michael Jackson told us he is indeed doing that special, one night concert with the Jackson 5 and sister Janet in Texas -- as well as his London concert series. Problem is ...he could still get sued.
The Jackson family is in chaos over Jacko's decision to perform in London, because his rep signed a deal that he'd do a concert with his family and not perform anywhere else for 18 months. The group organizing the family concert has threatened to sue if the London concert goes on.
Jacko stands to make $3 million off the family concert -- and a lot more from the London gigs. Jackson's bros would split $500,000 for their troubles. The question -- is this enough jack to avert a suit?
Stay tuned

TMZ has obtained video of one of the wackiest marketing stunts in recent memory. To celebrate the launch of Disney's "Peter Pan" Platinum Edition, a team of skydivers in green leotards jumped from 14,000 feet!
Thirty daredevils from Neverland sang a horrifying rendition of "We Can Fly, We Can Fly" as they ascended. When they reached maximum altitude, they leapt from the plane and formed two giant letter Ps in the sky. Look, Wendy!
After landing, the skydivers walked a green carpet and watched a screening of the classic in the world's first "fly-in theater."

Geraldine McCaughrean's sequel to the "Peter Pan" classic will be published this fall, but the only information available about it now is its title -- "Peter Pan in Scarlet."
The book by the award-winning children's author promises readers "high adventure, dramatic tensions and all the swashbuckling, danger and derring-do they can handle."
Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children owns the copyright to the original J.M. Barrie story about the boy who never grew up.
After a worldwide search for an author, the hospital trustees chose McCaughrean to write the sequel. The trust stipulated that the book must feature the original characters: Peter, Wendy, Tinkerbell, the rest of the Darling family and the fearsome Captain Hook.
The trustees have read and approved McCaughrean's recently finished manuscript and it will be published on Oct. 5.
"Neverland was such a marvelous place to spend my year," McCaughrean said. "I clean forgot Barrie's ghost might be reading the computer screen over my shoulder, forgot to worry whether the necessary people would like what I wrote. Mind you, that's a good sign. When a book is a joy to write, some of the fun often snags on the letters and gets trapped between the pages."
