Jackson sells trial story for $2m

Michael Jackson has reportedly agreed to sell his story about his recent trial to an American magazine for around $2m (£1.296m).

In a bid to help his severely ailing bank balance, Pagesix.com reports that the singer has arranged to take part in an interview with OK! magazine to discuss the experience of the trial in which he was finally acquitted of ten counts of child molestation.

A source told the website: "Michael Jackson was given full approval over the interview, and the questions are very softball. He got to tell his side of the story the way he wanted to."
