The Latest Michael Jackson News, From His Will To His Secret Final Project

The inevitable argument over Michael Jackson‘s estate has begun. In his will written in 2002, Jacko didn’t leave a cent to his dad, Joe. Instead he’s givin’ it all to his mom, kids, and a few charities. The custody arrangements are a little foggy so, for now, the kids are staying with their grandmother. [Wall Street Journal]
The National Enquirer continues to be dead on (pun!) with their reporting. In January 2009 they predicted “Michael Jackson—6 Months To Live!” [Buzzfeed]

Folks who had tickets to one of the singer’s concerts in London can score a refund from AEG, or they can opt for a special souvenir ticket, providing they didn’t get them from a private seller. The commemorative ticket has hollographic images of Jacko on the front. AEG is going to refund about $85 million worth of tickets for the 50 concerts. [CNN] — We say take the money and run.
Jacko compelted the “Dome Project,” a super high-tech 3D video inspired by “Thriller,” a few weeks ago and was all set to bust it out during his London performances. The video has a bunch of different scenes, including a jungle, graveyard, and construction site. [AP via Yahoo] — It sounds a little like something the Village People would make, but we hope it gets released soon.
The autopsy report, released by The Sun, may have been fake. The LA coroner said, ““The report that is being published did not come from this office. I don’t know where the information came from, or who that information came from. It is not accurate. Some of it is totally false.” [TMZ]
Jacko’s perscription drug abuse was nothing new. In 2004, Michael’s brother Randy found him unconscious and called a paramedic. The doc was “shocked” by all the perscription meds he saw in the house. The family tried to intervene but, well, it obviously didn’t work. [FOX]
Scarily, 12 Jacko fans and look-alikes have committed suicide since late last week. And one other dude tried to kill himself after the singer’s death was announced, but he was rushed to a hospital and saved. [The Sun] — Hey, die hard fan is not a literal term! Please stop.

I hadn’t heard about the 12 fans comitting sucide! I hope that’s false too, how could people be so dumb.

Not one Perez Hilton link, congrats Frisky. I know that it’s like weening yourself off heroin, but you’ll be fine, just fine.

Considering The Sun made up the autopsy report, I’m betting the suicide report is fake too.

I like the idea of the commemorative tickets. I was thinking that if I were one of the people that had tickets, I wouldn’t have it refunded. I think the sentimentality of those tickets just increased 10 fold. Wish I had one actually! I really hope the suicide reports are fake too. Although he was revered as near deity status, MJ was just a man, flesh and blood human. No need to follow in his footsteps people!! Ridonkulous.

@CheeeeEEEEse Um, what? I think if you look through most of my stories you will see that I seldom use Perez Hilton as a source.

@Nikki: Perhaps so, but that doesn’t hold true for everybody who writes here.
