Michael Jackson Asks for More Time

The star, who owes thousands of dollars in wages, faces being sued by the state of California if he doesn’t meet his obligations.

Jackson, who now makes his home in bahrain, asked the Department of Industrial Relations for the extension, and representatives for the star said, "they are trying to come up with the money."

The Department of Industrial Relations gave Jackson until 5:00 today to pay his employees, some of whom have not been paid since December.
