    Pop star Michael Jackson has changed his name to Mikaeel and become a Muslim, according to a UK newspaper report.

    Jackson, 50, wore a special Islamic hat to pledge allegiance to the Koran in a ceremony at a friend's mansion in Los Angeles, The Sun said.

    British singer Yousef Islam - formerly Cat Stevens - was reportedly in attendance as Jackson recited the shahada, the Muslim declaration of belief.

    Jackson had rejected an initial name choice of Mustafa in favour of Mikaeel, the name of an angel in Islam, the Sun reported.

    It said the ceremony was held at the home of Toto keyboard player Steve Porcaro.

    The reclusive Jackson is due to testify in court next week in a lawsuit brought by a Bahraini prince, who claims the singer agreed to record songs and failed to deliver.




    publicity stunt no?

    Well this probably won't help his public image any.

    There is no evidence he ever molested a child.

    It worked so well for Mike Tyson. What could possibly go wrong?

    oh, there was evidence. it just didn't convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt. but it's not correct to say there was no evidence.

    Maybe him, Cat Stevens and Toto's keyboard player can start a trio.

    This can't be totally accurate. I am pretty sure Cat Stevens (formerly known as) is not allowed in the US and it said it was in LA.

    you don't get to trial with zero evidence. i'd have to google back to tell you what it was. but the quality of lawyers michael had would have made sure there was no trial had there been zero evidence.

    The deadline to present the evidence is Arbor Day, Your Honor. I'm not sure when that is exactly, but I'm guessing I have more time.

    Look harder. There was no evidence other than testimonial accounts from children whose parents stood to gain a substantial monetary windfall.

    I'm not saying he isn't guilty, but I couldn't convict him based on what was presented. No clear-headed individual could.
