Is the Palms a musical Bermuda Triangle?

The Palms studio is becoming the place of choice for artists with epic unfinished projects to waste the hours. Rumors that for months Michael Jackson was holed up at the Palms studio working on a new disc have resulted in no title or release date. And fellow '80s memory Axl Rose went to the Palms studio supposedly to put finishing touches on the still unreleased Guns & Roses comeback "Chinese Democracy." Again, the disc is not in stores, and don't hold your breath.

Now comes a report that Britney Spears has been meeting with an old friend, Palms' owner George Maloof, about a summer performance at the Palms Pearl venue.  Michael Jackson, Axl Rose and Britney Spears. Is My Bloody Valentine finishing the new one there too?

Anyway, my guess is that none of these projects will see the light soon. But it is impressive that Maloof manages to keep his property the subject of endless celebrity buzz, especially with stars whose own careers seem forever lost in space.
