While pajama party enthusiast-in-exile Michael Jackson enjoys a new life in Bahrain, presumably spending his days scouring burka boutiques in search of exciting new materials with which to mummify his children's heads, his now infamous Neverland Ranch lies in desperate disrepair. Saddest of all, his menagerie of exotic animals appears to be literally starving to death:

The cash-strapped star hasn't sent enough money from his Bahrain hideaway to feed the animals in the private zoo at his Neverland Ranch, according to reports.


Electricity has also been partially cut off at the Californian estate.
Fox News columnist Roger Friedman revealed: "I am told the situation at Neverland is dire. While Jackson is in Bahrain with his kids and their nanny, some of the electricity at the ranch was recently shut off.

"Also, there are real fears now for the animals in Jackson's home zoo. Last week, the ranch was down to almost no food for the animals. At the last minute, sources say, a delivery was made, but it won't last long."

When Jackson's mystery Bahrainese sponsor finally grows weary of keeping him around to perform private after-dinner throne room performances in a bell-collared jester costume, the King of Pop will undoubtedly have to pack up the family and move them back to the Ranch. If his finances are as desperate as they say, it's only a matter of time before dinner ends up being rotisserie Bubbles, spinning slowly over the last remaining logs of what was once his Wishing Tree.
