Sources are claiming that Michael Jackson has returned to New York.

He may have sneaked back in the last couple of days. His point of alighting
would be the Palace Hotel on Madison Avenue.

His kids may have preceded him to the U.S. Sources say their nanny, Grace
Rwarmba, was spotted in California two weeks ago.

Jackson thinks he’s putting together an all-star charity single for the
survivors of Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. Whether or not that’s
possible remains to be seen.

Jackson’s benefactor, Bahrain’s Sheik Abdullah bin Hamad Al Khalifa, is said
to be traveling with him and picking up the bill wherever they go. I’m told
that Jackson recently settled a lot of unpaid bills, including a big one
with his former attorney John Branca.

If Jackson is in town and wants to record, he’ll be doing it most likely
with his old team: Brad Buxer, Michael Prince, and Bruce Swedien at the
controls.

Where he’ll do it is a better question. The Hit Factory is history, and
Jackson certainly won’t be renting Sony Studios any time soon - unless of
course he thinks he can get a deal there.

This would be the first time in his long career that Michael has no
recording contract with a major label, one that would foot the bills upfront
for his various indulgences.

Meanwhile, Jackson’s arch-enemy, Diane Dimond , was seen around the offices
of Paramount’s syndicated show “The Insider’ the other day. The word is she
may wind up freelancing there now that her Court TV gig is up.

Those with sharp memories will recall that Dimond’s original Jackson assault
in 1993 was on Paramount’s “Hard Copy.” Linda Bell Blue, that show’s
producer, now runs “The Insider.”
