COMPANY TOWN ANNEX

Michael Jackson Signs With United Talent, Trade Paper Says: The pop superstar, a client of Hollywood’s most powerful talent agency, Michael Ovitz’s Creative Artists Agency, made the move in an effort to revive his marginal movie career, Daily Variety reported. The trade paper said the self-styled King of Pop had signed with United Talent Agency, which will represent him as an actor only. Variety said it was unclear whether CAA would continue to handle other Jackson affairs, such as his concert and personal appearance bookings. Jackson, 34, is set to embark on a major domestic and international tour in support of his new Sony Corp. album “HIStory.” He has appeared in only two movies in his career-- “The Wiz” in 1978 and “Moonwalker” in 1988.
