Podcast: How technology blurs the lines between home and office
A story is doing the rounds of gossip websites that Michael Jackson is “in talks” to present an American Idol-style show with his dad, brother Jermaine and the actor Jamie Foxx. He is also apparently set to be a judge on The X Factor. Jackson apparently contacted Simon Fuller to tell him how much he loves American Idol and, on learning this, Simon Cowell asked him to join The X Factor. Though the story has more than a whiff of “Prince to Appear on Big Brother” about it – ie, it’s more false than dentures – wouldn’t it be fab if it were true? Just imagine – Wacko Jacko reunited with his abusive dad. Pure TV gold.
And just look at Jacko’s fantastic televisual track record: talking to Martin Bashir while up a tree, or showing off the portrait of himself as Jesus hanging above the dining table at Neverland.
With The X Factorin need of a lift, who better to provide it?
