Jacko and Uri pair up

Psychic spoonbender Uri Geller has struck up an unlikely friendship with Michael Jackson.

The superstar askedUri to "energise" his next, and perhaps his last, album.

The odd pair have become close friends after a meeting was set up by a mutual friend Mohammed Al Fayed.

Uri said later : "Michael has a very special mind. He's extremely spiritual.

"We went to see The Matrix together, because Michael loves that movie."

Jackson was so taken by Geller he has invited him to join his inner sanctum of trusted confidantes and asked the psychic to draw something for his album.
