MICHAEL JACKSON - JACKSON 'IN PARIS' TO PLAN RESURRECTION

Troubled superstar MICHAEL JACKSON has reportedly left his Californian home to visit film-makers in Paris, with the hope of resurrecting his career.

The BAD singer has barely left the state of California since he was arrested on a child molestation charges in late 2003. He was found not guilty of all charges earlier this month (13JUN05).

British newspaper Daily Express reports Jackson left his Neverland Ranch over 10 days ago (19JUN05) for France, with the hope of discussing an image-repairing documentary with several directors and producers.

The paper claims Jackson has met with documentary-maker MARK STEWART - the son of racing legend SIR JACKIE STEWART.

A source says, "They bumped into each other purely by chance.

"Michael has made no secret of his plans to rebuild his career and repair his image with a documentary.

"Mark was astounded to learn that Michael was aware of his work and had seen one of the films. The impromptu meeting went very well and it is hoped that something positive will come of it."
