BACK-OW JACKO

Good god, Michael Jackson's falling apart. Apparently. He didn't turn up for the start of court today, with his people claiming he had a bad back and had gone to hospital. Again. Judge Melville insisted Jackson get his ass to court within an hour, or he'd be in breach of bail and heading straight for jail. Any suggestions this is creating a hoopla to deflect press attention from what's likely to be said in court today is pure speculation. Of course.
