Begorrah! Leprechaun theme park for Jackson?

  • Begorrah! Leprechaun theme park for Jackson?


    Is Michael Jackson going to open a leprechaun-inspired theme park in Ireland?


    Looks like Michael Jackson has taken a liking to the wee folk of Ireland.


    The “Thriller” singer, who left the U.S. for the Mideast following his acquittal, has been spending time on the Emerald Isle recently, and is looking into buying an estate there — possibly a castle — according to reports.


    What’s more, he’s supposedly interested in opening up a leprechaun-inspired theme park.


    “Michael is deadly serious about this idea,” a source told Ireland’s Daily Mirror. “He loves the whole idea of leprechauns and the magic and myths of Ireland. It would cost around 500 million Euros [about $635 million] to do. He’s always wanted to open his own theme park and he thinks Ireland is the perfect place and it will all be built around the leprechaun theme.”


    The cash-strapped singer reportedly is meeting with businessmen to raise money for the park.


    There are regular sightings of the reclusive singer in Ireland, and one newspaper there has set up a Jackson Watch Hotline for readers to phone in sightings.

  • Old news, fake news, boring news. :P
    Wenn Michael wieder sagt, er mag Charlie Chaplin, sagen sie, er will ein Chaplin Museum bauen. Aber mit Affen.
    ;D


    Und was MSNBC angeht... da ist ja die Abstinenz vom Denken die erste Vorraussetzung für einen Job bei denen...

    Washington, D.C. ……Reports originating from Irish tabloids, being

    widely reported today, that Michael Jackson plans to open a Leprechaun

    theme park are erroneous and ridiculous.

    Michael Jackson loves children, but leprechauns? Perhaps not so much.


    Jackson's spokeswoman has blasted Irish reports that have the Grammy-winning roller-coaster enthusiast looking to open a leprechaun-themed amusement park on the Emerald Isle.




    In a statement Thursday, rep Raymone K. Bain labeled the headlines "erroneous and ridiculous."


    "Please check with this office before disseminating any information reported out of Ireland because most of the information reported thus far has been inaccurate," Bain implored.


    As requested, Bain was contacted Friday, and asked about the singer's general feelings about leprechauns. (Per the under-attack Irish press, he loves the mischievous, but mythical sprites.) She declined comment.


    "I am not even going to discuss that," Bain said.


    The bane of Bain apparently is an item said to have originated in Ireland's Daily Mirror. MNSBC gossip Jeanette Walls recounted the article in her online column Thursday.


    "He's always wanted to open his own theme park and he thinks Ireland is the perfect place and it will all be built around the leprechaun theme," a source tells the Daily Mirror, per Walls.


    It is true that Jackson, who outfitted his own Peter Pan-inspired Neverland Valley Ranch with amusement rides and once starred in the Caption EO attraction at Disneyland, has looked to become a theme-park mogul. In the late 1990s, he had venues in the works in Brazil, Japan, Poland and Detroit. The Walt Disney moment, however, never happened.


    The reputed Ireland idea--"Michael is deadly serious," says the Daily Mirror's source--is said to have originated from Jackson's interest in the Emerald Isle and its lore.


    "He loves the whole idea of leprechauns and the magic and myths of Ireland," the source tells the paper.


    According to the paper's mole, it would take a leprechaun's pot of gold, and probably a lot more, to build the Irish park--about $640 million.


    Jackson hasn't been in the news a lot lately for generating nine-figure paydays. He has, however, made headlines for falling behind on Neverland's payroll, cutting staff, and reportedly selling off some of his stake in the Beatles song catalog to fend off bankruptcy.


    A single father of three, Jackson, 48, has lived abroad since being acquitted last year of child-molestation charges. After a stint in the Middle East, he announced plans this past summer to move to Europe, the continental home of leprechauns.


    A coincidence, we're sure.
