Robert Burns & Michael Jackson: Together At Last

Let me get this straight. Michael Jackson, of all people, has collaborated on a recording that sets Robert Burns poems to music. What's next? Jessica Simpson does Byron? How about Amy Winehouse slurs along to Dylan Thomas? Or Brit-Brit does a John Berryman dance remix? That would be sweet.

From The Guardian:

Robert Burns's poetry might have been dismissed as "sentimental doggerel" by Jeremy Paxman but that hasn't stopped diminutive I'm A Celebrity contestant David Gest and pop legend Michael Jackson from recording an album of the much-loved Scottish poet's work.
