POP: BAHRAIN PRINCE SUES MICHAEL JACKSON

LONDON (AP) -- A prince in Bahrain says Michael Jackson should have coughed up an album and an autobiography by now. Sheik Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa is suing Jackson for $7 million, saying he sponsored Jackson as an advance. Al Khalifa's lawyer says his client first gave Jackson $35,000 to pay the bills at Neverland when Jackson was on trial for child molestation. When Jackson was found innocent, Al Khalifa picked up Jackson's legal bills of $2.2 million. His lawyer says Al Khalifa gave Jackson a recording studio, cash and a $350,000 vacation, and he let Jackson live in one of the royal palaces for a year. Jackson's lawyers say the two never entered a valid agreement and Al Khalifa's money was given as a gift.

AC: IL DIVO RELEASE "THE PROMISE"

LONDON (AP) -- Il Divo are all about taking risks with music, but they knew they took a big one when they decided to remake ABBA's "The Winner Takes It All." On top of that, they did it in Spanish. Tenor David Miller says ABBA have "a lot of harmonic complexity," which worked well for them. Why Spanish? He says Spanish and Italian are the two best languages for them because they use open vowels and are good for operatic lines. If you think ABBA in Spanish done opera-style is corny, Miller says, "A lot of people say we're corny just as it is." Il Divo are releasing a new album today called "The Promise."
