Page Six reports that Michael Jackson's money troubles have led him back to the recording studio - but this time on his own dime!

According to the paper, Jackson has hired RedOne and Akon to produce his new album.

And although he may be letting the music impresarios in on his sessions, he's placed a ban on his children coming to the recording studio...and women!

Apparently the Thriller singer had been seeing the kids' nanny, but a source says "He's not going to be involved in any personal relationships with women until he gets this record done. He's dumped the nanny - she's not around any more."
