Timing is everything. Two members of music royalty are being sued, one by a member of royalty, and one by a fragrance company.Michael Jackson is facing a 7 million lawsuit brought by Bahrain prince Sheikh Abdulla Bin Isa Al-Khalifa as the result of an alleged deal he made with the pop icon. According to the suit, MJ was supposed to deliver a recording, book and musical package, including the much-hyped Hurricane Katrina charity single, which never materialized. Michael fled to Bahrain after his acquittal of molestation charges, and much has been made of his stint in the Arab country before his return to the US shores last year. The prince has also alleged that he paid off a substantial amount of delinquent bills on behalf of the star, including monies owed on the much-beleaguered Neverland Ranch, which is now in foreclosure.
Prince, the purple one, is also being sued. Revelations Perfume and Cosmetics has filed a suit against him for $100,000, 
alleging that he reneged on a deal to promote a frangrance which was tied in to the album 3121. Now I'm not one for conspiracy theories, especially of the PR kind, but don't you find it rather interesting that three of the biggest icons of the 80's, including Madonna, are embroiled in high profile legal matters? What's next? Ike's children suing Tina Turner for leaving him?

UPDATE: Looks like we can expect more courtroom hijinks from MJ. He says he's too sick to travel for impending lawsuit.
