Subject: Jackson's new web of intrigue

SINGER Michael Jackson arrived to court on crutches in California yesterday after a close encounter with a spider.

Jackson, whose bizarre appearance and baby-dangling antics have made headlines around the world for the past three weeks, was resuming testimony in a $21m lawsuit over cancelled millennium concerts.

But it was the self-styled King of Pop himself, dressed up in a white satin vest and tie, who again provided most of the drama.

Explaining the crutches and the white athletic sock he was wearing on one foot, Jackson said: "It is a spider bite. It is real bad. If I showed it to you, you'd be shocked. It hurts very much right now as I speak."

Jackson, who keeps tarantulas at his Neverland Valley ranch near the central California town of Santa Maria where the suit is being heard, said his foot had swollen up after being bitten by a common spider during a fumigation of his home. The suspect was not one of his pet tarantulas.

Jackson (44) wearing pink lipstick and rouged cheeks, later got playful with the courtroom photographer whose close-up pictures of the singer last month shocked fans and prompted a media frenzy about the effects of plastic surgery on his nose.

During a lull in testimony, he pulled goofy faces at the photographer and used his fingers to make horns above his head.

Jackson chatted with fans outside the court but brushed aside questions about the incident in Berlin last month when he dangled his son over the balcony of a fourth-floor hotel.
