MIJAC CAN'T FLY BECAUSE OF VITILIGO?: Fox411 columnist says singer's lawyer is trying to use "skin disease" as an excuse to miss London trial.
*Fox.com columnist Roger Friedman wrote yesterday about the "illness" that Michael Jackson's lawyer says is preventing him from traveling to London for his breach-of-contract trial.
"Jackson refuses to come to England because he’s claiming sickness," Freidman wrote in his Fox411 column. "In fact, Jackson has told his lawyer to tell the British court that he has a skin disease that’s preventing him from traveling.
"But of course Jackson has always said he has the skin disease Vitiligo, causing him to lose melanin from his pigmentation. He’s always said that’s the reason he’s turned white over the years. It was, however, revealed here a couple of years ago that Jackson uses a whitening cream made with acids and created by the Mickey Fine Pharmacy in Beverly Hills. That came out when he failed to pay his bill there.
"Jackson’s 'skin disease' hasn’t stopped him in the past two years from traveling all over the Middle East, to Japan, to Las Vegas, and Ireland. The notion that Jackson is too sick to travel is absolutely laughable at this point."
The lawsuit brought against Jackson by Sheikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa of Bahrain claims the King of Pop reneged on a contract for an album, an autobiography and a stage play, after accepting $7 million from the sheikh.
Jackson's lawyer denies the claims, insisting their agreement was not valid and that Al Khalifa's case is based on "mistake, misrepresentation and undue influence."
