Any legal fracas involving Michael Jackson would be incomplete if it didn't quickly veer off into way-creepy territory, and the lawsuit brought against the entertainer by former business partner Marc Schaffel is no exception. Schaffel, a one-time gay porn producer, is suing Jackson for $3.8 million; during his testimony Friday, he blurted out something about Jackson putting in an order for some Brazilian orphans (http://www.courttv.com/trials/jackson/071006_ap.html). Jackson's defense quickly denied the allegations, thought Fox 411's Roger Friedman claims there's a recording of the request (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,202736,00.html): A taped phone message not yet played in court is said to reveal Jackson telling an associate: "Get me two boys, no, get me a girl and a boy." Says one source, "It sounds like someone asking you to run down to the store and get ice cream."
Jackson's own attempt at discrediting his ex-partner came in a videotaped deposition (http://us.video.aol.com/video.full.adp?mode=0&pmmsid=1675514&restartUrl=http%3a%2f%2fus%2evideo%2eaol%2ecom%2fv ideo%2eindex%2eadp%3fmode%3d1%26pmmsid%3d1675514&mode=1) in which Jackson relates his "shock" at watching a video in which Schaffel is schooling two naked actors in the finer points of mutual handjobbery. Upon further questioning from the too-inquisitive interrogator, we find out this shock was due to Jackson's supposed complete ignorance to Schaffel's past, and not because he found the actors' overly developed bodies and adult-sized genitalia "shockingly" objectionable to his personal tastes.
