No meeting of Jackson, Kelly

R. Kelly won’t be mingling with Michael Jackson during next month’s Grammy festivities: A judge has ordered the R&B; star, who is awaiting trial on child pornography charges, to stay away from the King of Pop, himself facing child molestation charges, when Kelly attends the awards.

The Chicago-based Kelly has produced two songs for Jackson: the 1995 hit “You Are Not Alone” and last fall’s “One More Chance.” Kelly is nominated for two Grammys at the Feb. 8 ceremony and needed a judge’s permission to attend the Los Angeles event; Jackson is not up for any awards, and there are no indications that he even plans to attend the ceremony.

Prosecutors and Kelly’s lawyers said they never raised the issue of a meeting between Jackson and Kelly during a hearing this week about Kelly’s travel. Cook County Circuit Judge Vincent Gaughan made the edict on his own, they said.
