Michael Jackson has recently signed up to do 50 shows at London's O2 Arena starting in July.  Naturally, after something like this happens people usually get angry; at least when it comes to people involved with Michael Jackson.  It would seem that the news floating around late last year about a  Jackson 5 reunion tour may have really been close to getting off the ground. 

Sparing you all the legal stuff, it comes down to his manager, allegedly, signing a contract for the J5 shows and then Michael signing this O2 deal.  A part of the J5 agreement mentions something along the lines of "no other concerts for 18 months"; that would encompass the entire run of Michael's new residency.  Bummer!  None of this has even hit courts yet, so nothing may come of it at all, but I thought you'd like to know!
