Michael Jackson is indeed serious about recording that charity single with an all-star cast. But he knows it won’t be easy to convince other stars that his stigma is gone. What to do? Jackson, I am told, is making a full court press on R&B star Usher to be first to say yes. Sources say Jackson feels if Usher agrees, everyone else will follow. Jackson has already spoken with Usher’s manager, his mom, Jonetta Patton. Now he has to pitch the idea to the young singer himself. Meantime, I’m also told that the usual chaos is occurring in the Jackson camp over who’s organizing this project. So far no one seems to be in charge of rounding up the talent for this new “We Are the World,” or even deciding how or where it will get done. I’m told that Michael’s father, Joseph Jackson, has appointed himself quarterback. He spent a full day in meetings recently in Las Vegas, presumably to help Michael. But he also could have been making plans for his movie debut. (See yesterday’s column.) My sources say that Michael may be arriving in New York shortly to start pitching his charity single idea to other performers. Of course, he will then be moonwalking fast to avoid process servers in the lawsuit brought against him here by Prescient Partners for $48 million. Sha-mone!
