The company suing the Michael Jackson estate for $300 million over the Jackson family 음악회, 콘서트 that never took place just got two strikes against it, and the pitcher was a federal judge.
The judge on Tuesday threw out two of the three claims AllGood Entertainment filed against the estate, AEG and Frank Dileo.
The suit claims Dileo, MJ's alleged former manager, made a deal with AllGood that Michael would perform at a Jackson Family 음악회, 콘서트 before doing any other gigs. 의해 launching the 런던 series of concerts, AllGood claims Jackson breached his deal and cost AllGood a bundle.
But a federal judge ruled AllGood's claim for fraud and tortious interference (i.e., intermeddling) was bogus. All that is left of the lawsuit is a breach of contract claim.
The estate claims Dileo never had authority to make a deal with AllGood.

Dr. Conrad Murray had requested lifesaving equipment and back-up help for Michael Jackson from the promoter of the 런던 concerts -- AEG -- but the company never came through, according to a new complaint filed 의해 Joe Jackson.
TMZ broke the story -- Joe was gunning for AEG 의해 filing complaints with the California Medical Board and another agency, alleging the 음악회, 콘서트 promoter abused Jackson in a way that led to his death -- and he's just filed with the Medical Board.
Joe claims days before Jackson's death Murray had requested a 심장 resuscitation machine and a nurse in several e-mails making the request, but AEG never provided it.
According to the complaint, Joe is accusing AEG of co-opting Murray's medical judgment 의해 enticing him with a huge salary -- in effect engaging in the "unlawful practice of corporate medicine."
Besides the CPR machine, Murray also asked for saline, catheters, needles and a gurney.
AEG and Murray had no comment.

Ben, the two of us need look no more

Then Happy came one day, chased my blues away
My life began when Happy smiled
Sweet, like 캔디 to a child
Stay here and 사랑 me just a while
Let sadness see what Happy does
Let Happy be where Sadness was
Happy, that's you
당신 made my life brand new
로스트 as a little lam was I, till 당신 came in
My life began when Happy smiled
Sweet, like 캔디 to a child
Stay here and 사랑 me just a while
Let sadness see what Happy does
Let Happy be where Sadness was
(Till now)
Where have I been?
What lifetime was I in?
Suspended between time and space
Lonely until Happy came smiling up at me
Sadness had no choice but to flee
I said a prayer so silently
Let Sadness see what Happy does
Let Happy be where Sadness was
Till now
Happy, yeah yeah
Happy, oehoe happy
happy oh yeah Happy
