    LOS ANGELES - Michael Jackson, age 50, has converted to Islam in a ceremony held at the home of friends in Los Angeles. According to witnesses, the singer was sitting on the floor and wore a little hat as an Imam, an Islamic preacher, officiated the conversion of Jackson.

    According to the tabloid The Sun, the ceremony took place while the singer, who was raised as a Jehovah's Witnesses, was recording an album in the house of Steve Porcaro, a musician who'd composed a song for the acclaimed album Thriller.

    A person close to Jackson said the singer was counseled how to convert to Islam by the composer David Whamsby and producer Phillip Bubalo, who are also supporters of the religion.

    - Jackson was a little on the dumps, they started to talk to him about how they became better people after they became muslims and Michael soon began to like the idea - said the witness.
