BELEAGUERED pop star Michael Jackson has converted to Islam and changed his name to Mikaeel, according to UK reports.
The 50-year-old singer, who was once photographed wearing a traditional Arab women's veil, reportedly became a Muslim in a ceremony at a friend's house in Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, a London court was told that an Arab sheik showered Jackson with money, cars and trips worth millions of dollars in return for the singer recording and performing new songs.
Sheik Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the second son of the King of Bahrain, is suing Jackson for about $10m.
The singer claims the cash was a gift.
The court heard that Jackson was a long-term guest in the sheik's palace. Al Khalifa says he lent Jackson millions of dollars to help shore up his finances and subsidise his lifestyle.

My First American To-go Dinner
From the chicken fajitas I got to go from Chilis, and I think I've finally got the US food industry worked out.
- Remember to use as many natural resources as possible in preparation of the to-go meal.
- A minimum of 7 plastic containers (including styrofoam) should be used
- Try to give a minimum of 15 napkins, because the cutlery set only comes with one napkin. If the customer is nice to you, give them even more napkins. Napkins is love.
- The handles on plastic carry bags is just for looks. You need to put the plastic carry bag in another, larger paper carry bag. Paper carry bags are environmentally friendly.

Wired.com Readers' Best Geek Tattoos
These are terrible. Just terrible. In one season of Beauty and the Geek, the Super Mario looking fat Italian geek has a tattoo of an original NES controller on his arm. I thought that was bad, until I saw these.

Miss Teen S Carolina gets a second chance
So basically she messed up. As she says it happens to all of us, but let's face it, this is a pretty big screw up, and embarassing, and most of all, funny. She even admits to not listening to the question. I ask you, you're on stage at a beauty pageant, and I know that your arse is taped to your tits, and that there's vaseline on your teeth, and you're remembering to do that pose so your hips and waist look narrower and your legs look longer, but you do that for the whole show, right? There's only one time in the entire show when you are expected to listen, think and talk, for like 1 minute. So if you screw that up, what is that saying? See, that just makes it funnier. And she came 3rd! Funnier again!
So this is what I have learned from this:
1. Mario Lopez is having an awesome career after Saved by the Bell.
2. Amy can be spelt Aimee.
3. The speech center of the brain is not required to make it to 3rd in Miss Teen USA.

KRAMER: Yes, they're important! If you stumble, if you hesitate, you can kiss the crown goodbye. Now if I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times - poise counts! It's just as important as the others. Swimsuit! Evening wear! Talent! POISE!
