More updates on the Michael Jackson case. The singer is calling in sick for his $7 million lawsuit.

MJ was due for trial in Bahrain after the son of the King of Bahrain sued him for failing to deliver work despite being paid. The king of pop however presented a sick note and requested for trial via video link. Jackson has also denied all charges.

The Sheikh had previously also sent MJ his own music compositions to help him revive his career.


The Ting Tings Want Marilyn Manson To Cover Their Song

The Ting Tings may have won Best UK Video at the Video Music Awards this year for "Shut up and Let Me Go," but they're not satisfied with that.

The band now wants Marilyn Manson to do a goth-rock reinterpretation of that track. Drummer Jules de Martino revealed in an interview that he and singer Katie White attempted their own Manson version of the song during rehearsals and it worked brilliantly.

Maybe we'll get to hear that version someday.
