Michael Jackson may have vacated his Neverland abode, but ever since announcing his London concert residency, the King of Pop has brought a bit of Peter Pan-style fantasy back to town.

For his shows, MJ is purportedly bringing backup -- in the form of snakes, a panther, tropical birds, three monkeys and an elephant.

Perhaps they should have called it "The Long Goodbye."

Despite recent reports of legal troubles and deteriorating health, Michael Jackson has announced a 10-date concert residency at London, England's O2 Arena.

Is it just us, or is the whole world going crazy? Thriller is headed to Broadway. Reformed drug addict Amy Winehouse is planning to record her new album in smoke-friendly Jamaica. And Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, the world's best live band, used recorded tracks during their Super Bowl performance. Yup, the end is definitely near.

She may be gearing up for the March 30 release of her new album with collaborator John Parish, A Woman A Man Walked By, but it turns out PJ Harvey has also been busy penning music for another pursuit: A Broadway play.
