Michael Jackson - The Final Moonwalk?

Michael Jackson was white faced when he got up to announce the dates for his "This Is It!" concerts in London.

Was he nervous?

Oh. No. Wait. He always looks like that.

He did look pretty cheerful for a guy who hasn't had a major tour for ten years and has been pursued in that time by accusations of being a pedophile, being mentally unstable and being broke .

Anyway it seems the shows are going to be at the O2 Arena. The first one is July 8th, and he’ll perform every other night

Until July 18th with a day’s rest between every show. Then he’ll take a four-night break before his next date, July 22nd.

After that, only three shows remain: July 24th, 26th and 28th.

Well, he is 50 and probably needs some recovery time.

He announced: “This is it. I just want to say these will be my final show performances in London. I’ll be performing the songs my fans want to hear — this is it. This is really it. This is the final curtain call.”

Yes. We believe you, Michael.

Well there have been no mention of plans to perform anywhere else.

And are people still interested in going to see the man-child perform?

Sure looks that way. Over a million people have signed up for an early chance at getting tickets.

Meantime, cashing in on the second coming of Michael, American Idol decided to have the top thirteen contestants sing Michael Jackson songs.

A big risk, because, having hosted Karoake shows, I know no-one can sing a Michael Jackson song like Michael Jackson.

Want a rumour? OK. Michael Jackson is planning his own US reality TV show.

Unreal.
