...courtroom thriller began last Thursday. Al Khalifa, 33, testified that Jackson, 50, reneged on a contract for a new album, an autobiography and a stage play after accepting millions of dollars in advances. The sheik said that in addition to covering Jacko's living and travel expenses during his year-long stay in Bahrain, he built the singer a recording studio, spent more than $300,000 securing him a "motivational guru" and gave him $250,000 in cash so Jackson "could entertain his friends at Christmas."

Though that initial lead mirrored Royal's dominant position after Thursday's first round, it was a surprise given the subsequent regrouping of factional forces that clearly favored Aubry in the run-off. Little wonder, then, that PS heavyweights backing Royal reacted with considerable swagger to her quick start in the final. Not only would their candidate win the leadership job, Royal supporters promised in the early hours of Saturday; she also looked set to triumph in near landslide...
