THIS DOESN'T MEAN HEATHER MILLS WILL HAVE TO SIT IN FOR HIM AGAIN, DOES IT?

As if the Michael Jackson court case hasn't been star-studded enough already, with tales of Macauly Culkin being touched and that weatherman bloke (we even understand that Jackson himself used to be a fairly popular singer, with a part on Quincy Jones' Thriller album), now Larry King is going to be called upon by the defense team to talk about a conversation he had with Larry Feldman which the defense team hopes will help them make their case that this is all about the accuser's family making some cash. And show what a lot of famous friends Michael has, many of whom he's not meant to have copped a feel from.

This week's action has involved Thomas Mesereau and the accuser's mother having stand-up cat fights in the courtroom. The prosecution would probably be delighted that she got her Neverland is all about "booze, pornography and sex with boys" quote in, but the squawking and the fighting with Meserau won't have looked good to a jury. Sure, it also made Mesereau look ridiculous, but that won't bother him, what with his reputation not being weighed by the jury. Not, of course, that dragging Mrs Avrilo into a screeching row would have been a tactic or anything.
