Michael Jackson in London

Pop superstar Michael Jackson made a surprise visit to Britain. Jackson wore black pants, a smart blue-and-white pinstriped shirt and dark sunglasses, and swept through Heathrow Airport with a police escort. His 3 children, 10-year-old Prince, 9-year-old Paris and five-year-old "Blanket" did not appear to be with him. The King of Pop waved to fans before being whisked away by minders. It is believed that Michael Jackson will be meeting with record company executives in London, as well as hooking up with old friend David Gest. David Gest is currently appearing as a judge on ITV1 show Grease Is The World. Jackson is becoming a frequent visitor to the UK. Last time he was in the UK was in March, when he checked into a £3,000-a-night in London's Jumeirah Carlton Tower hotel in Knightsbridge. In November he appeared at the World Music Awards to receive a special award, where he also sung a few lines of "We Are The World". Earlier this week, Jackson's lawyers settled a lawsuit meant to block an auction of the singer's personal belongings. More than 1,000 Jackson family items are going under the hammer at a Las Vegas sale next week, including Jackson's gold disc for his Thriller album. Part of the confidential settlement was that some of the auction proceeds will now go to charity. Source: Dotmusic/MJJF/eMJey
