An on-going feud with a Fox News reporter has led Michael Jackson’s manager to reveal the star’s future plans exclusively to MJStar.

Jackson’s manager, Raymone Bain, has spent the past few days wrangling with Fox News reporter Roger Friedman.

Friedman alleged in a column on Wednesday that Jackson had fabricated claims that he was working on a new album, claiming the the star was actually bed-ridden and addicted to painkillers.

The infamous columnist, despised amongst Jackson’s online fan community, further alleged that Jackson would be forced to sell his half of the notorious Beatles Catalogue within the next year.

Bain swiftly released a counter-statement claiming Jackson had no intention of selling the catalogue. She added that Jackson was not bed-ridden and was, in fact, putting the finishing touches on new music.

Bain concluded her statement with the threat of legal action.

Today saw Friedman attack Bain once more, labelling her a liar and claiming his allegations were supported by legal documents he had obtained.

Speaking exclusively to MJStar this afternoon, Bain responded to Friedman’s attack with the following statement:

“[Roger] could do no more than to create a subterfuge. I stand by my release. If you go back and look at Roger’s past reports, he defended me, now he attacks me…I expected it.”

When quizzed by MJStar as to the true status of Jackson’s new album, Ms Bain exclusively revealed;

“He is going to release several singles prior to the album being released. He’s finishing up the first 3-4 now.”

She added that these singles will be released before the end of 2007.

MJStar asked whether Jackson would promote these singles with either music videos or live performances.

As yet, Bain has declined to comment…

Sometimes the unlikeliest rumors do turn out to be true. More than three days after the first vague news reports emerged from Maryland’s Eastern Shore of a real-estate-hunting Michael Jackson, the singer’s reps broke their silence on the matter to confirm in part — and deny in others — the story that’s had the rural peninsula buzzing.

Jackson’s D.C.-based publicist, Raymone Bain, called us late yesterday and said that yes, indeed, the self-proclaimed King of Pop really did visit the Eastern Shore last week “for about 24 hours,” and that he really did scout out some summer-house properties.

But, no, he hasn’t made a purchase yet, contrary to some of the more heated Internet speculation. And he’s not limiting his search to the Chesapeake region: he has since “gone up the coast” to look elsewhere for a vacation place.

Jackson came east with his children about 10 days ago for meetings because “the majority of his advisers and attorneys are on the East Coast.”

Meanwhile, Bain told us, “He’s always admired the properties on the East Coast because they have a lot of land. Neverland has 3,000 acres — he likes privacy. You can’t find as many properties like that on the West Coast.”

The Easton Star Democrat, simply citing “inside sources,” reported Friday that Jackson spent the previous night at the historic Inn at Perry Cabin in the picturesque waterfront community of St. Michael’s, although inn managers declined to comment. A wave of subsequent news coverage followed, although none managed to cite any actual sightings of Jackson.

John Legend has revealed that he’s written songs for Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson’s comeback albums, which he has sent to them for approval.

The soulful singer says that only time will tell if the stars can reclaim the success they once enjoyed. “I have written songs for both of their albums, but that doesn’t mean it will be on their albums,” he explains. “They can choose whether or not they want to use it. They haven’t recorded yet so we’ll see.”

John is sceptical about the fallen stars’ future, saying: “Only time will tell. It’s possible for either of them to come back but it really depends on the records they come out with. The public is very forgiving when somebody has a hit. “The people will be waiting. If they make music that people are excited about, then I think they can come back easily. But there’s more to it than just making music. Once you get out of the groove, I think it’s probably hard to put everything back in motion in the way it used to be.”

He adds: “It’s not just about the record. You have to be willing to do all the things it takes to market it such as touring. But if they’re up for it, then I think they’re in a position where people want to see what they can do. They can do it.”
