THE MAN.. AND THE MIRROR
EXCLUSIVE When Jackson met our Fiona.. I'M GOING TO LIVE IN UK ALBUM IN THEPIPELINE
By Fiona Cummins, Showbiz Reporter

THE handshake is surprisingly firm - and the hug totally unexpected - as pop legend Michael Jackson grants me a private audience.

The singer was in buoyant mood yesterday when we met at the London offices of Harrods, owned by his close pal Mohamed Al Fayed.

He swept in at 1.05pm without fanfare, no bodyguards, no entourage - and barely a trace of make-up.

It was his first face-to-face interview since being acquitted of child abuse last year - and I wasn't sure what to expect.

But Jackson - who has often given the impression that he prefers to keep people at arm's length - greeted me like an old friend.

Smiling broadly he held out his hand, then threw his arms around me, giving me a whiff of his sweet-smelling perfume.

He looked totally different from the gaunt, hunched figure who emerged weighing just six stone at the end of his US trial last June.

And the 47-year-old star was more than happy to chat after finally emerging from his self-imposed exile in Bahrain.

He seemed relaxed as he talked about rebuilding his tarnished career and his plans to create a new Neverland - in Britain. He said: "I'm here in London on business for a couple of days. I love it here.

"I'm looking for a place to live. I've always liked the UK and I just love the fans here."

He grinned as he added: "I'm also visiting my good friend Mohamed - 'cos he's the man."

Jackson has lined up a series of business meetings in the UK and will be looking at a luxury properties in and around the capital.

He also plans to view places in Scotland and Ireland in a bid to re-create the funfair-style California ranch that was once his sanctuary.

Asked about his health, Jackson insisted: "I'm fine - very well thanks. I'm feeling good." He says he is also working on a new album - his first since Invincible in 2001.

Then, with a gentle pat on the back, he said goodbye and we went our separate ways.

As I left to catch the Tube back to the office and he headed to his chauffeur-driven limo, I could still detect the faint aroma of his perfume on my hand.

And I think I may have witnessed the first tentative steps of Jackson's emergence from the shadows.

Hvor er det fantastisk. Dejligt at høre lidt fra ham igen..
Jeg savner ham sådan.. :blush:

[Gregers]

Ja det er fantastisk dejligt at høre der er liv i ham stadigvæk! Meget pudseligt, for jeg snakkede med mine forældre om i går, at det var i grunden lang tid siden, at man sidst havde hørt noget fra Michael, han har nærmest været sunket i jorden, men ved godt at han arbejde på ny musik!

Paranormalist URI GELLER has fuelled speculation MICHAEL JACKSON is planning to quit his Bahrain home for a life in Britain, but fears it would be a huge mistake.

Geller, formerly a close friend of the THRILLER singer, insists speculation Jackson wants to buy an English mansion is completely feasible. But the psychic warns he will be mercilessly pursued by the British media, and insists the troubled singer may not cope.

He says, "It is possible. Knowing Michael Jackson, it's definitely possible. "But Michael has been built up and then demolished by the British tabloids so I don't know how easy it would be for him to live there. "He would be hounded and watched all the time. It would be very tough for him."





Jeg tror at Geller har ret....
