Say what you will about Michael Jackson, he was always an original. Until now.

FOXNews.com's Roger Friedman reports on a construction project Jackson was planning at Neverland called "Project X":

Project X, which is just a hollowed-out hole framed with concrete but not yet executed, was a result of Sept. 11. Jackson, as you may recall, "beat it" out of New York by bus when he thought New York was being destroyed by terrorists.

At home, Urquidez tells me, Jackson wanted a bomb shelter. Since bomb shelters are not routinely built anymore, Urquidez consulted plans he normally uses for wine cellars.

"It's a tilt-up building, a hole in the side of a mountain," he says.

At 20 feet wide and 50 feet deep, the hole is about the size of a Manhattan studio apartment. Jackson's requirements for the shelter were simple: a bedroom, a bathroom, and kitchenette.

"He wanted it filled with games for kids," Urquidez says.

This is just a Katie Beers retread, man.

Next he's gonna say "It puts the lotion on its skin, it does this when it's told," and try to pass that off as his own. C'mon, Michael! Been there, done that.
