Jacko says show biz is full of "shmucks"

Michael Jackson, once an entertainment industry into himself and now a sad shadow of his old Thriller self, told the Associated Press that Jesse Jackson and rich guy Ron Burkle prevented him from losing his fortune while on trial for molesting a young boy.

According to the AP:

The Daily News said it reviewed seven hours of transcripts, finding that the singer believed disloyal advisors took advantage of him financially before a California jury acquitted him of child molestation in June 2005.

Michael Jackson said in a deposition taken last summer in Paris that the entertainment industry was ``full of sharks, charlatans and impostors.''

''Because there's a lot of money involved, there's a bunch of schmucks in there,'' Jackson said. ``It's the entertainment world, full of thieves and crooks. That's not new. Everybody knows that.''

Um ok, MJ, and this is something new? He has no reason to complain. After he outbid Paul Mccartney on his OWN music he said, " It's just business, Paul" ..BOO!
