Someone else is trying to stick their hands into Michael Jackson's pockets. Shocking, I know. The amount of people attempting to prevent Jackson from focusing on his career and sidetracking any plans to show off his talent has grown... again.

According to a report from Reuters, some dude in New Jersey (AllGood Entertainment) is claiming he has a deal committing Jackson to a performance in the United States which stops him from performing in other places; other places like London's O2.  The deal was supposedly struck with Jackson's alleged manager, Frank Dileo.

Questions which jump out include: Is Frank Dileo authorized to sign deals on Jackson's behalf?  When was this alleged 'deal' struck? Why is AllGood suing Jackson now when plans for the London O2 dates were announced months ago?  Who the hell heard of AllGood Entertainment before this suit? Are we likely to get answers to any of these questions?

Outside of shopping with his kids, Jackson has scarcely made any public appearances in the U.S. and has been hard at work planning something great for audience members who have planned to fly in from all over the world to see him perform in London.

AEG Live, the people behind the London O2 gigs, are also being dragged into these "meaningless" claims (see Reuters article).

Of course no lawsuit against Jackson would be appropriate if the plaintiff weren't suing for some astronomically ridiculous and probably wholly unjustifiable amount of money.

AllGood wants $40 million. FORTY MILLION dollars. Are you kidding me? To some observers, this appears solely as an attempt to threaten to derail Jackson's big plans.
