James 'my greatest inspiration' Jackson sues ex-accountants Wacko Jacko postpones bash Jacko falters on high notes Jacko's fleeting performance

Los Angeles - Troubled 'king of pop' Michael Jackson has settled a dispute with a Los Angeles pharmacy that claimed he owed $100 000 in unpaid bills, said a spokesperson for the star on Friday.

Mickey Fine Pharmacy had filed a lawsuit in Santa Monica superior court, alleging breach of oral contract. It said Jackson had failed to pay for prescription drugs supplied to him since December 2005.

However, a spokesperson for Jackson said the bill had now been paid.

"The issue has been amicably resolved," said a statement. "Mickey Fine Pharmacy has been paid."

The statement said the dispute was related to a separate legal action Jackson was waging against his former accountants.

In court documents filed last month, Jackson alleged that the company of Bernstein, Fox, Whitman, Goldman and Sloan had mismanaged his financial affairs.

Jackson is struggling to rebuild his career since his acquittal on child molestation charges last year.
