Michael Jackson: Jackson 5 are not reforming

Michael Jackson has rubbished claims that Jackson 5 are reforming.

Older brother Jermaine hinted the brothers were ready for a comeback album and tour.

But Michael, 50, has no plans for a reunion.

‘My brothers and sisters have my full love and support, and we’ve certainly shared many great experiences,’ said the star in a statement.

‘But at this time I have no plans to record or tour with them.’

The singer is busy concentrating on his own musical comeback.

‘I am now in the studio developing new and exciting projects that I look forward to sharing with my fans in concert soon,’ he added.

The Jackson 5, whose lineup also includes Jackie, 57, Tito, 55, and Marlon, 51, as well as unofficial member Randy, 47, rose to fame in the early 1970s.

Now YOU Can Own A Pair Of Michael Jackson’s Underwear

Now’s your chance to own a pair of Michael Jackson’s underwear. Gross!

A pair of white Calvin Klein briefs once belonging to the superstar are set to be sold on eBay with a reserve price of $1 million.

The briefs are reportedly part of the evidence confiscated by police in 2003 as part of Jackson’s child molestation trial, in which he was eventually cleared.

New Jersey businessman Henry Vacarro obtained the underpants - which come in a sealed evidence bag, wrapped with police tape - as part of a bankruptcy case, according to New York Post gossip column PageSix.

He is also selling off other artifacts including a handwritten note from the star explaining his decision to seek an annulment from ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley in 1996, and a used tube of skin-bleaching cream.

The auction for the items begins on Wednesday (September 10, 2008).

Maked his half century with release of 'The King Of Pop'

Having marked his half century on Friday with the release of The King Of Pop, a new collection of his chart toppers, Michael Jackson is taking a radically new tack with his next venture. The singer has teamed up with close pal David Gest to record tracks based on the work of 18th-century Scottish poet Robbie Burns.

David, a former I'm A Celebrity… contestant and Liza Minnelli's ex-husband, has revealed he and the Thriller star have given a 21st-century spin to some of the celebrated bard's verses, putting the likes of We Did Ae Fond Kiss and Tom O'Shanter to contemporary music .

"Our favourite poet in the world is Robbie Burns," he explains. "We turned his work into show tunes; it's beautiful."

Although they've already laid down the tracks it's not known whether the pair plan on releasing the result.
