The perfume wasn't called "1999," but "3121," named after one of Prince's more recent album projects.  But a fragrance company says the project added up a big zero -- and is blaming the musician. Revelations Perfume and Cosmetics in New York claims Prince and his music publisher gave them very little support to help market the fragrance. So it has filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit. The suit claims the company paid $2.5 million to license Prince's name, likeness and the album title "3121" to market the perfume. But it says Prince and his record label, Universal, did little to promote it. Prince's people didn't return a request for comment on the lawsuit. But a spokesman for Universal music is calling the lawsuit "completely without merit."

Looks like a legal faceoff between Michael Jackson and an Arab sheikh will be settled in court. The son of the King of Bahrain is suing Jackson, saying the aging pop star took $7 million as an advance on an album and autobiography -- and that the singer failed to produce either. Lawyers for the sheikh (Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa) say the money was advanced to Jackson while the singer was trying to revive his career after his arrest and trial on child molestation charges. Court papers say the money went to things like paying legal bills and keeping on the lights on Neverland, which Jackson eventually sold. And some of the money went to bring Jackson and his entourage and even a hairdresser to Bahrain. The sheikh claims he believed the money would be repaid once Jackson's career recovered. Some might suggest that would be a good defense for Jackson -- that his career hasn't recovered. But his lawyers are taking a different approach. They say the pair never entered a valid agreement and that the prince's money was given freely.  The trial is being held in London because the parties had agreed to take any disputes over their deal to an English court. Jackson's lawyers want him to be able to testify on video, rather than in person. The trial is due to wrap up by the end of the month.

The campaign has been over for two weeks now. But Barack Obama is still able to turn out a crowd when he shows up on TV. Most recent evidence of that: Sunday night when his appearance on "60 Minutes" gave the CBS show its highest overnight ratings in nearly a decade. The interview with Obama and First Lady-to-be Michelle Obama is estimated to have drawn 24.5 million sets of eyes to the sets. That's more than any other episode of a prime-time show seen this season. It's believed the TV audience also got a boost from football. "60 Minutes" was preceded by the nail-biter between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the San Diego Chargers.
