(AP, 01/09/2004 10:04:00AM)

You may soon be seeing Michael Jackson on the big screen. The entertainer is in a movie titled "Miss Cast Away," about a group of beauty pageant contestants who crash-land on a deserted island, where they find Noah's Ark.

Jackson plays a force sent by the pope in a beam of light to dispense wisdom to the stranded women. No word on when or how the movie will be released.

In other news, Jackson is making good on his promise to put the "Never" in Neverland. In his "60 Minutes" interview, Jackson said he wouldn't go back to live at his estate after police combed through it in a criminal raid.

Now, the television show "Extra" reports the singer has rented a multi-million dollar home in Beverly Hills, Calif. The report says the mansion doesn't have anywhere near the square footage of his Neverland Ranch, but it does have a tennis court and swimming pool.
