Any legal fracas involving Michael Jackson would be incomplete if it didn't quickly veer off into way-creepy territory, and the lawsuit brought against the entertainer by former business partner Marc Schaffel is no exception. Schaffel, a one-time gay porn producer, is suing Jackson for $3.8 million; during his testimony Friday, he blurted out something about Jackson putting in an order for some Brazilian orphans. Jackson's defense quickly denied the allegations, thought Fox 411's Roger Friedman claims there's a recording of the request:

A taped phone message not yet played in court is said to reveal Jackson telling an associate: "Get me two boys, no, get me a girl and a boy." Says one source, "It sounds like someone asking you to run down to the store and get ice cream."

Jackson's own attempt at discrediting his ex-partner came in a videotaped deposition in which Jackson relates his "shock" at watching a video in which Schaffel is schooling two naked actors in the finer points of mutual handjobbery. Upon further questioning from the too-inquisitive interrogator, we find out this shock was due to Jackson's supposed complete ignorance to Schaffel's past, and not because he found the actors' overly developed bodies and adult-sized genitalia "shockingly" objectionable to his personal tastes.
