Jacko moving to Maryland?

update: 7/4/07

Confirmed: Jacko really was house-hunting in Maryland

The Reliable Source today confirms that Michael Jackson was indeed searching for a house on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
Jackson’s publicist Raymone Bain confirmed that he was in the
area with his children looking for a vacation home. She says he did not
buy any property while there and has since moved farther north in his
search. His rep also says that he decided not to buy the Vegas house he
was leasing and that he came east for business meetings.

Today’s Sun reports on the rumored house-hunting trip this week to St. Michaels by Michael Jackson. The self-proclaimed King of Pop reportedly spent Thursday night at the Inn at Perry Cabin. The hotel’s general manager refused comment (as if anybody at The Sun
actually expected him to talk about it?), but reports were that Jackson
was travelling with bodyguards as part of an entourage. He reportedly
looked at one house in Queen Anne’s County and two in Talbot
County.

Locals assumed a helicopter in the area was paparazzi seeking
photographs, but the fact that it stayed some distance away was
attributed to a no-fly zone implemented when Vice President Cheney
purchase a house there. The article mentions that there also rumors of
Julia Roberts looking at property in the area as well as supposed
sightings of Eric Clapton’s sailboat. Also mentioned are houses
owned by two former presidential press secretaries (which ones?) and a
former Secretary of Defense (Rumsfeld?)

The Easton Star Democrat first broke the story (you can’t read the story here unless you subscribe to the newspaper however, since they’re using that flawed model for their website.) WBAL TV
reported on the rumors Friday night as well, although there’s no
story on their website about it. Video footage (not available on the
station site or their Youtube section)
on the station (taken from the aforementioned helicopter) showed people
holding white sheets up while someone exited the hotel and entered a
limousine.

The Daily Dish
reports that Jackson is moving out of his Las Vegas mansion today
because the lease is expiring. Security concerns there, where the
singer moved from Ireland in December, were cited. His rep recently denied rumors that he was bedridden an on medication.
