Jacko’s Open House Piggybacks On Bennifer Wedding

Jeannette Walls of MSNBC.com reports that Michael Jackson’s party planners have been taking advantage of the celebrity invasion with the Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck now cancelled wedding in his Neverland hometown of Santa Barbara, since he’s holding his big $5,000 a ticket open house this weekend. A source revealed that when they called regarding the tickets, and claims that the person selling them “did a very hard sales pitch,” talking about how the party would be only twenty minutes from the big wedding. “They kept saying, that it was highly likely that Ben and Jen would drop by and they kept rattling off the names of the other guests who were expected to attend the wedding, like Matt Damon, and saying they might show, too,” the source explained. “It seemed to me they were trying to piggy-back Michael’s party on the Bennifer wedding.” That sales pitch may have to go now, but it still appears the Jacko event will go down this weekend.
