Jackson Estate Faces Two New Legal Claims

Michael Jackson's personal hair stylist is seeking $212,000 from the King of Pop's estate for unpaid wages.

Lynda Parrish claims she was employed by the superstar to tend to his locks at a cost of $1,500 a day, while she charged $1,000 to cut the hair of people in his entourage.

She invoiced Jackson for a further $1,000 to cover the cost of businesslost when she had to fly outside of California to style the singer's hair, reports Tmz.

In a separate legal matter, the Thriller hitmaker's estate has been named in a bizarre new lawsuit accusing Jackson of stealing a man's cure for herpes.

Erle Bonner alleges the singer had samples of his formula for "herpes cure, acne cures and arthritis cures", which he allegedly passed on to Jackson's co-defendant Kevin Trudeau to sell.

According to Tmz.com, Bonner filed documents in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Friday (18Sep09), in which he claims he was also threatenedby "someone from the Jackson family".

The legal papers allege the Jackson relative "came by my house and shota... pistol in the air. They turned around in a neighbour's driveway anddrove away".

Bonner is also accusing Jackson of stealing the idea for an automobile insurance policy that "would revolutionise insurance for cars in America", in addition to nine other copyright documents.
