King Bizarro becomes Islamic Mikaeel.  

The Prince of Puzzlements
, Michael Jackson, has converted to the Islamic faith at a ceremony in LA.

Reportedly, Jacko has changed his name to Mikaeel and taken the shahada -- a declaration of belief -- as part of his conversion to Islam, Al-Arabiya.

The ceremony was attended by Yousef Islam, the singer formerly known (and beloved) as Cat Stevens.

The religious rites is said to have taken  place at the Hollywood home of Toto keyboardist Steve Porcaro, who composed music for Jackson's  best-selling Thriller album.

Meanwhile Jackson's lawyer says the newly converted Mikaeel will travel to England to testify in a $7 million breach-of-contract lawsuit brought against him in London's High Court.  The suit was filed by the king of Bahrain's son, Sheik Abdulla bin Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa for alleged failure to collaborate on tunes with the Arabic songsmith.  The Sheik advanced Jackon $ and got nada the suit alleges.

Just when you thought MJ couldn't get any weirder ...
