LONDON — The son of an Arab monarch took the King of Pop to court Monday, charging that Michael Jackson took $7 million as an advance on an album and an autobiography he never produced.
Lawyers for Sheikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa of Bahrain say their client paid Jackson expenses as an advance on the book and joint recording project. Jackson claims the money was a gift.
Al Khalifa, 33, was due to testify at London’s Royal Courts of Justice Wednesday.
Cyrus a victim of hoax

The video, which has been taken down, had a fake message from Cyrus pal Mandy Jiroux, who denied the rumor in a posting on her official MySpace page.
