POP KINGDOM FOR A PRICE
Michael Jackson special concert invitations up to 50k.
 *Pop king Michael Jackson has sent out concert invitations
to his big baller-shot caller friends, but with a price. The New
York Daily News reports that the superstar is inviting special
guests to one of his two 30th Anniversary concerts at Madison
Square Garden, with a price tag of $50,000 for 10 seats.
Included in the deal is admission to the special post-concert
"Champagne and Caviar All-Star Dinner and Carnival" where
fans can meet Jackson and get a signed poster. There are
economy packages though. For $30,000 you get the 10 seats,
the carnival, and the poster, but you don't get to meet Jacko.
And then there's the $15,000 deal that gets you dinner and
the show. So far there is no charity connection to the pricey
performance package.
STATION SAYS J.LO DOESN'T SAY "N"
NY radio station rumors that Lopez pulling a Milli Vanilli.
    *Though Jenny Lolo is in trouble over using the "N" word
in her remixed single "I'm Real," a New York radio station
may have given her a way out. The station alleges that Lopez
isn't the one singing the song, rumoring that a backup singer
named Ashanti is singing on the track. According to Fox News,
Ashanti's manager says that his client does sing backup on
the song, but that it is indeed Jennifer singing lead. He believes
the controversy may have spawned from the fact that Ashanti
apparently is also on a current Big Pun track that sounds similar.
ELECTRA ON THE STRIP
Carmen Electra will headline Vegas strip show.
     *Carmen Electra will return to Las Vegas, the place she
and Dennis Rodman coupled in holy matrimony. This time,
she will be starring in the strip stage show "Lumiere" at the
Aladdin Resort. E! reports that she signed a two-year contract
to headline a dozen weekly performances beginning early 2002.
     In related news, her ex-hubby is facing Vegas trouble. A
judge in the City of Sin ruled that the assault case against Rodman,
made by a Vegas Hilton cocktail waitress in June 1999, can
go to trial. The waitress claims that Rodman grabbed her breast,
and that she was fired when she reported the incident to the hotel.
MARIAH ON THE STRIP, TOO
Carey a fave in "dance" circles.
    *If you heard any comments on how, um ... scandalous Mariah
Carey's latest look is, where there's smoke, there's fire. You see,
the singer, who's been accused of dressing like a stripper, is
apparently a stripper favorite. The New York Post reported that
while filming the video for her new song "Loverboy," Carey visited
a local Palmdale, CA, strip bar where a working girl "burst into
tears" and showed Carey pictures of her daughter, also named
Mariah, and club patrons approached the singer. In any event,
Carey obliged into a playful tease of her own for her fans.
