    watt`n Quark,
    solange ihm Neverland gehört, ist er ja wohl nicht homeless. Aber so 1 oder 2 x im Jahr verliert er Neverland und den Beatles Katalog ja mittlerweile. Ein Obdachloser, der sich Privatlehrer für seine Kinder leistet, die er im Hotel unterbringt. Tsss, ich versteh die Welt nicht mehr.

    JACKSON, KIDS SQUAT WITH BURKLE


    November 20, 2007


    Michael, Prince, Paris and Blanket Jackson have been shacking up chez Ron Burkle.


    SOMEONE should remind Michael Jackson that houseguests, like fish, start to stink after three days.


    The nearly broke one-time King of Pop has been relying on the kindness of friends to put a roof over his head and the heads of his three kids, now that he's been booted from several other residences he "rented" in Las Vegas and Washington, DC.


    On the verge of losing his sprawling Neverland Ranch as his bank account spirals toward zero, the sad-sack artist and his three kids, Prince, Paris and Blanket, spent last week at the Beverly Hills home of his longtime friend, babe-chasing supermarket billionaire Ron Burkle, a source told Page Six.


    "The whole family has been hiding out. They were holed up in Burkle's place behind the Beverly Hills Hotel," said our spy. "They even refused to come out of their rooms and hid when Burkle had guests over."


    It's hard to blame them. Jackson, once one of the richest pop stars in the world, remains in default on a $23 million loan against his ranch after years of mishandling his once-enormous fortune. Before he hit up Burkle for a free place to stay, he spent three months living in a private home in Franklin Lakes, NJ.


    Sources told Fox News' Roger Friedman the Gloved One showed up on the doorstep of Dominick and Connie Cascio in mid-August and stayed through the first week in November, when he split for Los Angeles to attend Rev. Jesse Jackson's birthday party. ***** has had a long association with the Cascios, having met Dominick in the mid-'80s when the latter worked for the Helmsley Palace Hotel.


    The Cascios' oldest child, Frank, now known as Frank Tyson, worked for Jackson and was one of five unnamed co-conspirators in the Santa Barbara district attorney's failed prosecution of Jackson on child-molestation charges two years ago.


    In December 2005, Jackson had Prince Abdullah of Bahrain fly members of the family over to help him celebrate Christmas. The prince is now suing Jackson in London's High Court for $7 million plus damages after the washed-up performer agreed to start a record company with the prince and record a CD, which never happened.


    Burkle's rep did not return our call.

    Jackson: Will Burkle Be His Angel?


    Monday, November 26, 2007
    By Roger Friedman


    With so many past managers and financial angels burned or lied to, it’s a wonder that Michael Jackson still has anywhere to go or anyone left to turn to.


    So it comes with some surprise last week that Jackson was welcomed back to the estate of grocery magnate and burgeoning media mogul Ron Burkle.


    In the spring of 2005, Burkle helped extricate Jackson from his Bank of America loans, encouraged him to leave his quasi-management arrangement with Charles Koppelman, and took over running Jackson’s business for a few months.


    The whole thing ended badly — as it always does — with Burkle’s people unable to handle the Jackson lunacy. But Jackson came to see Burkle as a savior. As I reported exclusively in this column a few months ago, Jackson admitted during a deposition this year that during his 2005 child molestation and conspiracy trial he regularly called Burkle from the men’s room on a cell phone and begged him to buy Neverland or the Beatles catalog.


    Burkle declined.


    But now Jackson may be looking for a Burkle bailout again. He’s one month into his three-month countdown to losing Neverland after defaulting on a $23 million loan. Despite his publicist’s claims, Jackson is no closer to paying the loan back to Fortress Investments. If he doesn’t by Jan. 19, Fortress can claim foreclosure and put Neverland up for sale. Burkle, who’s no fool, could easily just wait and buy it then. Why exactly he would loan Jackson the money to keep is unclear.

    *****: No Money to Pay Court-Ordered Debts


    Michael Jackson’s slowly deteriorating financial situation gets worse this coming Friday morning in Los Angeles.


    Jackson’s lawyers will have to explain to a judge why they didn’t meet a Nov. 15 deadline to pay the singer’s former manager Dieter Wiesner $3.8 million from a settlement agreed to in September.


    I can tell you why now, though: Jackson is in Las Vegas on Tuesday, still homeless and certainly not planning any tour with the Jackson 5, as erroneously reported on Monday on the wire services.


    And: Jackson’s finances are so imperiled that he has been waiting for refinancing to come through on his $300 million loan with Fortress Investments. His lawyers thought they’d pay the Wiesner settlement from cash derived in that refinancing.


    But so far there is no refinancing. Barclays Bank has not come through and neither has anyone else. Jackson has walked into the middle of the credit crisis in banking, and because of that he has no cash. None. Zero. Zip. He can’t pay agreed-upon settlements and so, Wiesner’s lawyer, Howard King, is going to court to get the money.


    Good luck. Sources say Jackson’s so-far unpaid attorney, Thomas Mundell, in Los Angeles, and Gregory Cross, in Washington, D.C., are trying to hold off King and Wiesner from entering a judgment on Friday.


    They think it will somehow scare off Jackson’s potential, unnamed new financiers. But it’s still unclear if there are any new money people to take Fortress’ place. Sources say Cross has three different groups coming in. Maybe.


    At the same time, Jackson remains in default on that separate $23 million loan from Fortress using Neverland as security. I am told Jackson will probably just let Neverland go to foreclosure in January.


    If Neverland sells for less than the full amount of the loan, Jackson will be responsible for the balance with Fortress. He will be sued for it. He doesn’t get that.

    Jackson: Bail Bondsman is Looking for Him


    Friday, November 30, 2007
    By Roger Friedman


    A new wrinkle in the Michael Jackson saga: on Monday a California bail bondsman named Richard Hopp has filed a request for Notice of Default in Santa Barbara County against Jackson. The notice falls under California Civil Code 2924b. Hopp could not be reached last night but a source said that when the story broke about this latest incident, "it will make O.J. happy to get off the front page."


    This could mean a lot of things, including: Jackson needs his Neverland Ranch to secure or pay off a bail bond for some reason. Or it could mean nothing. But in Michael Jackson’s world, the possibilities are endless and nothing is surprising.


    Jackson’s legal woes today are mounting. His lawyer, Thomas Mundell, goes into court today begging the judge in a lawsuit not to make Jackson pay up $3.8 million. It’s really sad.


    In a public filing with Los Angeles Superior Court, Judge Joseph Biderman presiding, Mundell writes: "it was clearly understood by the parties that Mr. Jackson did not have the cash available to make the settlement payment at the time the settlement agreement was signed…Mr. Jackson was undertaking to refinance certain assets, including his Neverland ranch, to obtain the money…the settlement payment would be made from such borrowed funds…Mr. Jackson reasonably anticipated that the refinancing would close by November 15, 2007….due to circumstances completely beyond Mr. Jackson’s control, that has not happened yet, although the closing one refinance transaction appears imminent…as a result, it was impossible for Mr. Jackson to meet the November 15 deadline…the balance of hardships and the principle of avoiding unnecessary harm and forfeitures tups in Mr. Jackson’s favor at this point…"


    Will this work? Who knows? Jackson’s pathetic financial situation is crumbling, and there is apparently no one to help him. Neverland is still in default, and the latest news about a bail bondsman’s involvement doesn’t bode well.

    Habe ich heute auf FoxNews.Com gefunden... :tatort


    ***** Land Default: New Problem
    We all know because it was reported first here exclusively on Oct. 26: Michael Jackson is in default on a $23 million loan secured by his Neverland Ranch. He will go into foreclosure on or around Jan. 19 if he doesn’t pay the full amount of the loan to New York’s Fortress Investments, the first publicly traded hedge fund.


    So far, no payments have been made and Jackson remains in default.


    Now, according to the Los Angeles County Treasurer and Tax Collector, there’s more trouble. Jackson is in tax default on his parents’ home in Encino, Calif. The house was on the county’s defaulted tax roll as of Wednesday.


    If someone doesn’t pay the county $16,293.10 by this Monday, there’s going to be trouble with the county. Jackson has a $4 million mortgage on the property where his parents and various family members alight from time to time.


    How is it these embarrassing episodes continue to pile up? Jackson is represented in financial matters by Venable LLP, the Washington, D.C., white-shoe law firm headed by Benjamin Civiletti. You’d think by now they would have convinced him to sell his remaining stake in Sony/ATV Music Publishing, erase debts totaling around $340 million, establish a home for his children and return to work.
