All alone wishing on stars
Waiting for آپ to find me
One sweet night I knew I would see
A stranger who'd be my friend
When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells آپ never be afraid
Then somewhere in your دل آپ can feel the glow
A light to keep آپ warm when the night winds blow
Like it was written in the stars I knew
My friend, my someone in the dark was you
Promise me we'll always be
Walking the world together
Hand in hand where dreams never end
My سٹار, ستارہ secret friend and me
When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells آپ never be afraid
Then somewhere in your دل آپ can feel the glow
A light to keep آپ warm when the night winds blow
Look for the قوس قزح in the sky
I believe آپ and I
Could never really say goodbye
Wherever آپ may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me
Wherever آپ may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me

Not that we're trying to flatter ourselves, but don't people in Bahrain get TMZ?
AQ Business Consultants has filed a petition in the Michael Jackson Estate case, asking the judge for permission to belatedly file a creditor's claim, on grounds it didn't know there was a time in asking for money.
AQ claims it helped Michael refinance $320,000,000 in loans, for which it was entitled to a $3.2 million fee. AQ claims it's still owed $1.2 mil.
The deadline for filing a claim has passed, but AQ claims it didn't get proper notice.
Howard Weitzman, the lawyer for the Estate, tells TMZ, "I don't believe the claim has any merit but they're late in filing regardless."
But here's the thing ... TMZ is big in Bahrain, so what's the deal?

Dr. Conrad Murray won't just face the judge in his manslaughter case on Monday -- we're told an army of MJ شائقین plans a little surprise of its own ... in the protest department.
A rep for Justice4MJ -- the پرستار group planning the demonstration -- tells TMZ that scores of Jackson شائقین plan to attend ... and it's all going down on the freeway overpass near the L.A. courthouse.
We're told when the hearing ends ... the protesters plan to march from the courthouse -- then quickly تقسیم, الگ کریں for the overpasses as Murray makes his exit. They will bid Dr. Murray adieu as he drives off -- probably not in the friendliest of ways.
But we're guessing the protest is the least of Dr. Murray's worries.

The company suing the Michael Jackson estate for $300 million over the Jackson family کنسرٹ that never took place just got two strikes against it, and the pitcher was a federal judge.
The judge on Tuesday threw out two of the three claims AllGood Entertainment filed against the estate, AEG and Frank Dileo.
The suit claims Dileo, MJ's alleged former manager, made a deal with AllGood that Michael would perform at a Jackson Family کنسرٹ before doing any other gigs. سے طرف کی launching the London series of concerts, AllGood claims Jackson breached his deal and cost AllGood a bundle.
But a federal judge ruled AllGood's claim for fraud and tortious interference (i.e., intermeddling) was bogus. All that is left of the lawsuit is a breach of contract claim.
The estate claims Dileo never had authority to make a deal with AllGood.

Dr. Conrad Murray had requested lifesaving equipment and back-up help for Michael Jackson from the promoter of the London concerts -- AEG -- but the company never came through, according to a new complaint filed سے طرف کی Joe Jackson.
TMZ broke the story -- Joe was gunning for AEG سے طرف کی filing complaints with the California Medical Board and another agency, alleging the کنسرٹ promoter abused Jackson in a way that led to his death -- and he's just filed with the Medical Board.

According to the complaint, Joe is accusing AEG of co-opting Murray's medical judgment سے طرف کی enticing him with a huge salary -- in effect engaging in the "unlawful practice of corporate medicine."
Besides the CPR machine, Murray also asked for saline, catheters, needles and a gurney.
AEG and Murray had no comment.
