After several years of battling financial difficulties, it seems Michael Jackson may be seeking a new way to earn some cash – as fashion designer.

Reports today are saying the ‘Thriller’ star is getting together with Christian Audigier of Ed Hardy to design a line of clothing, but apparently it’s still too early to say what kind of designs will surface.

Tabloid weekly Life & Style says “It’s still in the developing stages, but it’s going to be big. This will be a major comeback for Michael. He’s dedicating a lot of his time and money to this venture.”                                                                 

Jackson recently pulled out of a scheduled appearance on ‘American Idol’ on May 21 after he suffered a dose of stage fright.

He recently avoided losing his Neverland Ranch after the foreclosure auction was cancelled. The ranch reportedly fell into disrepair after Jackson was acquitted of child molestation charges in 2005.//NME News
