According to recent reports Michael Jackson may be close to a 180-night run in Las Vegas.
The investment firm that recently bought the loan on Jackson’s Neverland Ranch, Colony Capital is discussing various repayment options for the $23 million debt, including a possible long-term engagement as the resident performer of a Vegas casino or nightclub, a source familiar with the talks said on Friday to help the star avert foreclosure.
Bringing Jackson to Sin City as a performer would mark the biggest step the 49-year-old performer has taken toward a comeback since a child molestation trial left his career, his reputation and financial status in tatters three years ago.
According to a recent Wall Street Journal report, Colony also is urging the singer to sell off Neverland as quickly as possible and to emerge from seclusion in Nevada to launch a career comeback in Vegas, the Journal said.
Colony is also pressing Jackson to go on TV, perhaps on Oprah Winfrey's show, to make a public statement putting the Neverland Ranch and the controversy connected with it behind him, and to perform in a TV special proving to the world that he can still sing and dance.

Michael's proposed coming back to the scene is a welcome news, especially to those of us who admired him a lot.
