Michael Jackson is reportedly in negotiations with the O2 arena in London to perform 30 shows starting in July. Haven’t we heard this before? Michael Jackson would be paid £5million per show, that’s around $10 million, which would put the total earnings for the comeback shows at $300 million. It’s just the kind of payday that the dethroned King of Pop needs to pay off his debts and his lawyers’ fees. However, there’s this issue of a skin infection and I’m assuming that Michael Jackson will not be allowed to perform if his condition worsens. Maybe they could pay him in advance so he can get some medication of procedures done for it. I personally don’t trust him with money though.

The Soundtrack to Jonas Brothers’ new film “Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience” is available today! The jam packed album includes live versions of favorites like “Hello Beautiful” and “S.O.S” as well as performances with Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato, a Shania Twain cover, and one new, never-before-heard studio recording called “Love Is On Its Way.” The highly anticipated film goes behind-the-scenes with Kevin, Joe and Nick on last year’s Burning Up Tour, following their every move along the way.

Check out footage from their MTV special last night and head over to iTunes to grab the Soundtrack.
