Jacko gets support from Stevie Wonder

No, it's not true that we've been desperately waiting to be able to gossip about Michael Jackson on Ouch, just hanging on in there to find the disability angle on his delayed trial. Vitiligo didn't seem to be the best of hooks, before anyone points this out to us.
According to several reports over the last few days, Stevie Wonder is to be on a long list of celebs who may be called as a witness for the defence in Jackson's trial.
It won't be the first time that the blind singing legend has stuck up for his beleaguered pal; he spoke out against Eminem after the rap star mocked Jacko about his (alleged) plastic surgery and child molestation charges in his video for the hit single Lose It.
It's hardly surprising that Michael Jackson collapsed on his way to court to see the ongoing jury selection process. The collapse which led to his hospitalisation was reportedly due to flu symptoms bound to have been made worse by the immense pressure he is under. With 10 charges of child molestation on his plate, Jackson faces 21 years in jail if convicted, meaning he could be locked up until he is 67.
