Michael Jackson Remains In DC

The Washington Post reports Michael Jackson was still in the city on Friday (April 2), according to insiders, after picking up his humanitarian award Thursday night from the African Ambassadors’ Spouses Association. While some speculated that Jackson’s visit to the capitol was an effort to deflect attention from his court woes in California, Senegal Ambassador Amadou Lamine isn’t buying it. “Having a song about HIV and talking about the positive aspects of Africa will have a far-reaching consequence for all of Africa,” he said.
