A new book claims that after the 9/11 attacks, both Michael Jackson and Mark Wahlberg were in New York and wanted to get out of the city. Both celebrities wanted to use the Sony jet and it was up to Sony to decide which man got to use it. Michael won as he was considered the biggest star. The thing is, Michael did not even end up using the jet and took a bus back to LA so it was just his entourage that used the jet. Mark says this is all lies and that he had a jet of his own. I don't think so. I think he wanted that jet. I'm not actually sure that Michael was the bigger star at that point but certainly had way more money for Sony than Mark had.
