Thought this was rather funny. Michael Jackson left his pet chimpanzee £1m to ensure his long-term future, but Bubbles still hasn’t got his hairy simian hands on the readies.
Jackson adopted the chimp in 1985 but later gave him to animal trainer Bob Dunne after struggling to care for him. Dunne claims Jackson left Bubbles the money. "Michael will turn in his grave if Bubbles' future is not financially secure," he claims. "We've heard nothing. I'm not sure we will either. He's [Bubbles] frozen out.”
He may have been “frozen out”, but like many a celeb down on his luck, he’s selling his story to make a buck or two. Bubbles: My Secret Diary, From Swaziland to Neverland is a collection of very personal and honest entries from Bubbles' diary giving readers the whole story of the chimp's life from an "awful childhood" in a research clinic, and "adopted a struggling young singer". It takes a leaf out of arch rival and Tarzan star, Cheeta’s book – Me Cheeta!
The memoirs will look at the seedier side of Bubbles' career, including his $2,000-a-day banana addiction, depression, romantic conquests, and includes how Bubbles dealt with the recent death of the King of Pop.
Apparently Bubbles is now 26-years-old and living in the animal sanctuary where he was taken in 2003 after becoming too aggressive to live alongside Jackson's baby son Prince Michael II. He lived at Jackson's Neverland ranch and sat in on recordings for the Bad album, even travelling to Japan with the singer on tour. He was not invited to Jackson's funeral over fears he would be too violent. Poor Bubbles - he should take legal action for mental cruelty caused by come down in lifestyle.
The book’s out sometime this month! Top banana!
