Jacko Jets in to Cork For Stay With Lord of the Dance

The controversial pop star Michael Jackson jetted into Cork this afternoon on a scheduled Aer Lingus flight from Paris
There's intense speculation that the 47 year old who was accompanied by at least two other adults and three children will be staying with Lord of the Dance and Celtic Tiger performer, Michael Flatley.

Michael Jackson's flight touched down shortly after four o'clock, and he, along with his three children, Prince Michael, Prince Michael II and Paris were taken into the airport's VIP area after and brought through immigration.

The children had their faces covered with hats and masks. And Jackson, who was dressed in black, shielded his face with a mask.

A Garda escort and airport security rushed the superstar and his entourage to a waiting silver Volkswagen mini-van with tinted windows.

Jackson made sure he was well equipped for his trip to Cork, as he jetted in with 27 pieces of designer luggage.

It's not known what his plans were for the duration of his stay in the city, but it's believed he will be here for at least a week.

Speculation is high that he could be staying with Michael Flatley at his Castlehide home.

Hmmmm...Irish Fest director Ronan Collins is in Cork. You know, no one has ever seen Ronan Collins and Michael Jackson together in the same place. Ronan has lots of luggage. And they look remarkably alike. You don't suppose...

Nah.
