Medium To Interview Michael Jackson From Beyond The Grave On Live TV

A major player in the world of satellite TV today announced that it would premier a live world exclusive interview with dead 'King Of Pop' Michael Jackson conducted by celebrity 'medium' Derek Pakora.

Pie One will screen the show in a primetime slot, along with an invitation to viewers to pose their own questions to the late not much lamented one at a premium call rate of £1 per minute.

The announcement was greeted with scepticism by most reporters who dismissed the exercise as a cheap publicity stunt, but Derek himself remained steadfast in his commitment to the project.

"If anyone can contact MJ on the other side, then I'm the one to do it," he stated confidently.

One cynical reporter stated:

"Wacko Jacko never said much when he was alive, so I'm sure he's hardly turned into a chatterbox since he kicked the bucket. That's assuming there even is an afterlife. Also assuming that the devil, Old Nick himself will allow Jacko time off from stoking the furnaces of hell to take calls. Even if Derek does get through, Jacko will either be late or fail to show up at all."

"It's all bollocks," another seasoned reporter told us. "Absolute and utter bollocks."

More as we get it.
