It's All Good For Michael Jackson
It's All Good For Michael Jackson
8 minutes ago by TMZ Staff
Michael Jackson would be smiling today ... if circumstances were different, of course, because a judge just dismissed a $300 million lawsuit that had been filed against him.
A federal judge in New York just dismissed a lawsuit filed by AllGood Entertainment, claiming Michael had agreed through an agent to perform several Jackson family reunion concerts in Indiana before going on the road with any other show.
AllGood claimed ... by agreeing to do the London concerts, Jackson breached his agreement with AllGood.
The federal judge ruled today ... Jackson's agent -- Frank Dileo -- merely struck the deal with AllGood in principle, that couldn't become binding without the sign-offs of MJ and his brothers. The judge also said the deal was just too sketchy to be enforceable.
The case had been partially dismissed last month. Now it's officially history.
Howard Weitzman, the lawyer for the Michael Jackson Estate, tells TMZ, "This case never had any merit and the claim was frivolous from day one."

By the way I really like the title of this one <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
You're welcome. Actually it's very simple to insert an image, but you just need to know how to do it. Right click the image and select "copy image location". Put the [ img ][ /img ] in your post and paste the link in between img tags. That's all!
Thanks Mo! Will note for future <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
lol nice 'save', TMZ!
I love their chose of words. The first thing that I noticed besides the title was " ... if circumstances were different, of course." Circumstances being that he's in hiding, not that he's dead. I also liked how they stated that the lawsuit was filed against him and not the estate. <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: -->
Just like Michael's "death" <!-- s:!: -->:!:<!-- s:!: -->
Is there another way, because when I right click on the image, I don;t have the copy image location option, I just have copy. And that don't work.
Then it's about time for a new browser...
such as?
I'm running the latest version of windows. Explorer 8
We love you, Mike! And YES, we will be there! <!-- s
Perhaps "day one" is June 25, 2009. Meaning if anyone was paying close attention to the differing reported events from that day, they would realize that Michael is still alive, that everything with him is "All Good".
You make an excellent point. I didn't notice that until you brought that up. I thought connecting the dots didn't mean literally but you could be right. Thanks! I like this too - it's about time that Michael come out on top of these ridiculous lawsuits.
Good catch!!

Michael Jackson Concerts May Face Legal Challenge
May 12, 2009 8:45 EDT
A music promoter plans to sue to block Michael Jackson from performing in London this year, claiming that a contract signed by the "king of pop" prevents him from giving a concert until July 2010, the head of the promotion company said on Monday.
New Jersey-based AllGood Entertainment Inc contends it signed an agreement in November with Jackson's manager, Frank DeLeo, committing the singer to perform in July 2010 along with his brothers from the Jackson Five and sister Janet Jackson.
Under the agreement, Michael Jackson cannot give another concert until that Jackson Family reunion show, said Patrick Allocco, managing partner at AllGood Entertainment.
AllGood Entertainment sent a cease and desist letter to Jackson in March warning him not to perform a series of 50 shows in London's 02 Arena with concert promoter AEG that are scheduled to begin in July, Allocco said.
Representatives for Jackson and AEG did not return calls.
Allocco said his company's plans to sue in federal court come after failed attempts to negotiate with Jackson and reach a deal to allow the London shows to go ahead.
"As of right now we've gotten zero cooperation from anyone, Frank DeLeo refuses to honor our agreement and that's why we're filing a lawsuit by week's end," Allocco said.
AllGood Entertainment said that its one-time concert featuring Michael Jackson is scheduled for July 3, 2010, at Texas Stadium in Irving, Texas. The concert would be available as a pay-per-view event over the Internet, Allocco said.
Jackson could make up to $30 million for the show, Allocco said.
"Thirty million for one show is unheard of, that's why we're so frustrated," he said. "Frank DeLeo is standing in our way. AEG has been constantly frustrating our ability to get this show."
Jackson's series of concerts in London also have been touted as unprecedented. AEG has said that, all together, the shows will gather the biggest audience ever to see an artist in one city.
You guys are awesome! Way to go for catching that. This PROVES that TMZ is making up stories. JUST LIKE THE MEDIA HAS MADE UP STORIES ABOUT MICHAEL JACKSON HIS ENTIRE LIFE!
Michael is probably writing them himself to see if ANYONE'S nose's are still working well enough to SMELL the BS! Since the public seemed to have no minds of their own over the years and would believe anything they were fed.
This is so entertaining. <!-- s
This is one more legal obstacle that has been washed away by the "death" of Michael Jackson....The Man is so brilliant.....it continues to astound!
This whole thing is akin to the most incredible screenplay ever written....Michael, if you ever read this forum...my hat is off to you, once again! How did you know possibly how this would all play out? You must be an incredible chess player!
Aww, thank you!
Peace,
