Michael Jackson watches 'Casino Royale' alone in his room

MICHAEL JACKSON loves James Bond movies, despite the fact that they are rife with violence and adult sex. Usually Michael prefers cartoons or Disney fare.
Michael was in London when Casino Royale had its Royal Command Performance premiere. But he didn't go. He said he was "too nervous" to be near the queen. That's Queen Elizabeth.
So the onetime King of Pop asked the Bond production company to lend him a tape. He watched Casino Royale in the privacy of his hotel suite, drinking Diet Coke and munching popcorn.
There were no queens around to make him nervous.
