The company suing the Michael Jackson estate for $300 million over the Jackson family 音乐会 that never took place just got two strikes against it, and the pitcher was a federal judge.
The judge on Tuesday threw out two of the three claims AllGood Entertainment filed against the estate, AEG and Frank Dileo.
The suit claims Dileo, MJ's alleged former manager, made a deal with AllGood that Michael would perform at a Jackson Family 音乐会 before doing any other gigs. 由 launching the 伦敦 series of concerts, AllGood claims Jackson breached his deal and cost AllGood a bundle.
But a federal judge ruled AllGood's claim for fraud and tortious interference (i.e., intermeddling) was bogus. All that is left of the lawsuit is a breach of contract claim.
The estate claims Dileo never had authority to make a deal with AllGood.

Dr. Conrad Murray had requested lifesaving equipment and back-up help for Michael Jackson from the promoter of the 伦敦 concerts -- AEG -- but the company never came through, according to a new complaint filed 由 Joe Jackson.
TMZ broke the story -- Joe was gunning for AEG 由 filing complaints with the California Medical Board and another agency, alleging the 音乐会 promoter abused Jackson in a way that led to his death -- and he's just filed with the Medical Board.
Joe claims days before Jackson's death Murray had requested a 心 resuscitation machine and a nurse in several e-mails making the request, but AEG never provided it.
According to the complaint, Joe is accusing AEG of co-opting Murray's medical judgment 由 enticing him with a huge salary -- in effect engaging in the "unlawful practice of corporate medicine."
Besides the CPR machine, Murray also asked for saline, catheters, needles and a gurney.
AEG and Murray had no comment.

A rep for Forest Lawn tells us they have not yet figured out how they plan to handle the MJ anniversary ... but they will work with the Jackson family and abide 由 their wishes.
As for the MJ fans, one member of the group tells us, "Nothing will stop us from being with MJ on the 25th!"

Lisa Marie Presley's prayers have been answered -- TMZ has learned a 花 company is about to deliver a field's worth of sunflowers to Michael Jackson's burial site in Glendale, CA.

"Ben"
Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And 你 my friend will see
You've got a friend in me
(You've got a friend in me)
Ben, you're always running here and there
(Here and there)
你 feel you're not wanted anywhere
(Anywhere)
If 你 ever look behind
And don't like what 你 find
There's something 你 should know
You've got a place to go
(You've got a place to go)
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
Ben, most people would turn 你 away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see 你 as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
