It's April 8th. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, driven by AI, what everyone's talking about. For adult siblings just filed a lawsuit against Michael Jackson's estate, claiming the king of pop abused them as kids, starting when some were as. Young is seven or eight. They say their dad worked at a fancy hotel Jackson frequented, and he gained their trust with gifts and cash before isolating and drugging them over, more than a decade. Jackson's estate hid back hard through lawyer Marty Singer, calling it a desperate money grab and a shady tactic to score hundreds of millions. The suit names Jackson's companies and estate handlers, alleging grooming and trafficking. British journalist Jonathan Margolis, who hung out with Jackson back in the day, paints a different picture. He recalls a night at London's Lanesboro Hotel when Jackson was 42. A young male Hollywood star about half his age showed up and Margolis left them in a huge bed, two meters apart, both just reading comics like kids.

Margolis always saw Jackson as asexual. His adult side crushed by fame from age five and a tough dad. He sat in by the claims but admits Jackson was deeply troubled, with unchecked behavior that history might judge harshly. These fresh allegations keep the debate alive around Jackson's complicated legacy, pitting personal stories against his childlike image that fans still defend.
