Looks like Michael Jackson has taken a liking to the wee folk of Ireland.

The “Thriller” singer, who left the U.S. for the Mideast following his acquittal on sex charges, has been spending time on the Emerald Isle recently, and is looking into buying an estate there — possibly a castle — according to reports.

What’s more, he’s supposedly interested in opening up a leprechaun-inspired theme park. “Michael is deadly serious about this idea,” a source told Ireland’s Daily Mirror. “He loves the whole idea of leprechauns and the magic and myths of Ireland. It would cost around 500 million Euros about $635 million to do. He’s always wanted to open his own theme park and he thinks Ireland is the perfect place and it will all be built around the leprechaun theme.” The cash-strapped singer reportedly is meeting with businessmen to raise money for the park.

There are regular sightings of the reclusive singer in Ireland, and one newspaper there has set up a Wacko Watch Hotline for readers to phone in sightings.

1. I thought he was supposed to be going broke.

I'm sure the Irish aren't any more excited to have him there than the Bahrainians are.

2. Too bad he's never read about Irish myth

Leprechauns are NOT CUTE. They're avaricious, spiteful, and downright evil. They're also the Tricksters transported to Ireland.

They don't look like green Pilgrims, either. Legend has them dressed in hooded red cloaks.

3. Just can't stay away from little ones, eh Mikey?

4. Yeah, maybe next he'll be wanting to "take naps" with them...

...or dangle them over third-floor balconies.
