Michael Jackson is reopening Neverland Ranch

SVZ · April 26th, 2006, 09:48 AM

Michael Jackson has reopened his Neverland Ranch after paying $49,000 in fines.
The eccentric star, who has been residing in Bahrain since being acquitted of child abuse charges last year, was forced to close down part of the Californian estate in March after failing to make insurance payments and failing to pay staff for three months, dating back to December.
Jackson has now paid the outstanding fines and hired 10 new workers to care for the animals in his private zoo.
Last month, the 'Billie Jean' singer was forced to pay employees at $306,000 in outstanding wages.
However, despite paying his workers what they were owed, many long-term employees of Jackson were left furious.

Good. Maybe now he will get his ass back here(with his kids) so they can be taken away from him!

Wasn't Janet the one who paid off his bills for him?

Where did he suddenly get the cash to open the place back up and who the hell in their right mind would even consider working for him?

Didn't he sell off his catalogue of Beatles' music?

^^ Yes, I think he did. But considering how fast he wastes money, it shouldn't last very long.

First thing he'll have to do is hire someone to haul off the putrefying carcasses of all his zoo animals who died of starvation while he was busy diddling little Bahrainian boys and not paying the people responsible for feeding the zoo animals.

wow...now wtf would he want to reopen neverland?? I wonder...maybe to fondle little kids again! i'm sick of him and his stupid money issues. fuck go get a real job that you have to work hard for and see how much you'll be spending then!

I heard he's going to opening a new exhibit at Neverland based upon the debut of the Beatles in Liverpool called "A Cellarful of Boys", yuck, yuck,

But seriously, selling off his Beatles catalog would only buy him a year or two at best the way he wastes money unless he managed to bring in someone professional to trim staff, cut expenses and put him on a budget until he managed to find another income stream. Hopefully MJ will return to the US and they will find a way to make sure he's kept far away from any children.

I doubt it'll happen... if he steps foot back in the US, the myriad of lawsuits will keep him in court till the sun goes nova
