PROMOTER HOPING TO STOP MIJAC CONCERTS: NJ company claims singer under contract to do a family reunion concert first before all else.

       According to Reuters, New Jersey-based AllGood Entertainment Inc. says it signed an agreement in November with Jackson's manager, Frank DiLeo, committing the singer to perform in July 2010 along with his brothers from the Jackson Five and sister Janet Jackson.      

       Under the agreement, Michael Jackson cannot give another concert until that Jackson Family reunion show, said Patrick Allocco, managing partner at AllGood Entertainment.      

       AllGood Entertainment sent a cease and desist letter to DiLeo and to concert promoter AEG Live, which has signed the King of Pop to perform a 50-night stand at London's 02 Arena starting in July. Allocco said his company's plans to sue in federal court come after failed attempts to negotiate with Jackson and reach a deal to allow the London shows to go ahead.

       A source at AEG Live acknowledged the company had been contacted and called AllGood's claims meaningless. The source said rehearsals in Los Angeles are continuing in preparation for the July shows at the 02.      

       "As of right now we've gotten zero cooperation from anyone, Frank DiLeo refuses to honor our agreement and that's why we're filing a lawsuit by week's end," Allocco said.
