The new Sony deal for Michael Jackson’s new records is actually worth $225 million according to my sources.
That means that Jackson attorneys John Branca (a co-executor) and Joel Katz, with the help of co-executor John McClain, have cut for Michael Jackson’s estate the richest deal ever in recording business history.

The deal is only for records for the next seven years. It already includes the soundtrack to “This Is It.” Come November [ READ MORE... ]

Earlier this month the 50-year-old star filed a legal action in Los Angeles claiming that Julien's Auction House had "effectively stolen" his property.
However, Darren Julien said they are "really puzzled and disappointed" that he is trying to stop it.
He said Jackson knew about the sale and even approved a press release about it.
"We're really puzzled and disappointed that he's tryi [ READ MORE... ]

Michael Jackson (left) let two of his kids, Paris and Prince Michael, roam the Luxor Casino in Las Vegas without their usual masks.
I became very curious about the photo that appeared yesterday of two of Michael Jackson's children at the Luxor. In the photo, the Jackson kids are shown coming out of an elevator at the pyramid-shaped casino. This apparently is the first time the two children have had their faces exposed by paparazzi.
But there is a reason the Jackson kids probably felt safe walking around the casino without the usual masks. [ READ MORE... ]
