Michael Jackson bringing Neverland to UK - Daily Gossip

Welcome to the Daily Gossip: your daily stop-off to find out who in the world of music has been up to what.

Today's top gossip:

Michael Jackson is set to turn the Kent house he'll be renting during his London O2 Arena residency into a replica of his Neverland Ranch.

The singer has apparently told gig promoters AEG that he wants a funfair installed in the grounds of Foxbury Manor in Chistlehurst, Kent. Other demands include a bowling alley, as the King Of Pop is reportedly a massive fan of the game. The alley is set to be installed inside the historic property, which is valued at £15 million (The Sun).
