The next act picks up in London, where Jackson is ensconced at the very expensive Dorchester Hotel.
Jackson and Prince Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa are in London, not alone, however. They are joined right now by attorney Thomas Mesereau Jr., who so brilliantly defended Jackson in his trial.
Also there are fired-then-reinstated publicist Raymone Bain, as well as Jackson's three children and their nanny, Grace Rwamba.
But even more interesting are two more people new to the crowd: Atlanta music-business attorney Joel Katz and Island/DefJam Records chairman Antonio "L.A." Reid.
Their project is simple. Sources say that Katz has come to represent the Prince in a deal that would fund a record label for Jackson at Island/DefJam's parent, Universal Music Group.
Katz is not new to the Jackson picture. I'm told he represented Jackson's brother Jermaine for many years in the mid-'80s. He's listed on the credits for the 1984 Victory tour as Jermaine's legal eagle.
If the project comes together, and it should, the first order of business would be to record that charity single Jackson has been promising since Hurricane Katrina.
