EUX.TV FIRST: Michael Jackson is the topic of a bout of laughter during an informal pre-dinner chat between US President Barack Obama, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Italy's Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.President Obama can be overheard saying "The best, not one of the best." Obama also appears to say he was "best friends" with Jackson."Don't flatter yourself," Sarkozy responds in French.This appears to refer to Motown founder Berry Gordy statement at Michael Jackson's memorial service a day earlier, in which he called him "the greatest entertainer that ever lived"They are meeting with other world leaders at the G-8 Summit in l'Aquila, Italy, that started today, one day after Jackson's memorial service in Los Angeles.
