"Could it be true that Michael Jackson will record his final "solo" album with Virgin records? Rumor's rampant with talk concerning Janet Jackson's involvement with both Michael's last album and influence on the signing - could this finally be true? Despite trying to keep such details under wraps news of both meeting's and album details have started to surface. Official update still to come, however this is how Fox News are covering the story"

It seems Michael Jackson's sister Janet may be partially responsible for helping Mikey with a new recording contract. Janet is pretty much the only bright spot over at foundering Virgin/EMI Records, the company that paid out $50 million to make Mariah Carey go away last year. Janet and Michael share an unofficial "manager" -- John McClain, who despite being a DreamWorks Records executive still draws a hefty percentage from the Jacko siblings. Now word is that McClain may be leveraging Janet's success to cut Mike a deal at Virgin too. If so, Tommy Mottola will laugh that all his cast-offs head for Virgin next once they're dropped by Sony. How possible is all this? Tea leaf readers will recall that during Michael's crazy acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards, he thanked "the marketing genius of John McClain."
