Michael Jackson's Will Filed

The will of Michael Jackson was filed in Los Angeles today and TMZ got a hold of it. As expected, MJ named his mother Katherine as legal guardian of Prince Michael, Blanket and Paris. If Katherine wasn't able to care for the kids for any reason, he wanted Miss Diana Ross to be their guardian.

Yeah, I didn't see that one coming. Joe Jackson is totally rubbing his palms together, because his dream of The Jackson 3 is getting closer.....

The will also states Michael's estate is worth $500 million. Everything has been left to the Michael Jackson Family Trust. The co-executors of the trust are John Branca (his lawyer), John McCain (former presidential candidate) and Barry Siegel (his accountant) NO! Not John McCain. I'm telling dumb jokes. John McCLAIN who is a music executive is one of the executors. I thought I'd give your eyeballs a jump.

The details of the trust are not public, but apparently the money goes to Katherine, his kids and various charities.

And in more Michael news, KTLA says that he will not be buried at Neverland. There's currently a law that forbids burials on private property. Gov. Schwarzenegger is trying to help the family get around the law, but so far no dice. Also, the planned public viewing at Neverland on Friday or Saturday might not happen after all. Santa Barbara County officials have yet to confirm that it's happening.

By the way, I must have that sweater in the picture above. I'll be making my own version tonight using an old sweatshirt and metal push pins from Rite-Aid.

I thought there was a rumor that Michael was gonna have his body frozen.

OMG I was so little then. "cryogenics" was the buzzword of the day. Walt Disney did it and MJ was gonna do it to. OR SO WE WERE TOLD! DUN DUN DUN!

LOL! This is fun.

Maybe he wants his skeleton to be a decoration in someone's den like he had the elephant man's skeleton. Of course, the elephant man was not as freakish as jacko, so its hard to say.

I like this picture of him. He should have stopped right there with the plastic surgery.

Ummmm, doesn't Governor Schwarwhatever have MORE important things to do than make special rules for famous people that the rest of us won't get to take advantage of???

Instead of wasting time bending rules, fucker, get to fuckin' work on the budget. If my husband gets an IOU for a paycheck, it's ON motherfucker.

Sorry for the foulmouthed rant, guys, but my husband is probly gonna get a fuckin scrap of paper that says "pay ya later, sucka!!!". I don't think our mortgage lender and credit and utility collectors will accept that as payment...

If $500 million is accurate, that still leaves $100 million for his kids after his $400 million debt is paid off. Not too shabby. Provided Joe doesn't steal/spend it all in his "business" dentures...I mean ventures. Ha!

all this mj stuff is hurting my brain.
He was shunned scorned and rideculed for the last stretch of his life, yet now that hes dies people are totally deifying him. Its bizarre and shows how we the public can be so fickle.
But Ive never been much of a fan save thriller, and am torn apart by grief for billy mays :(

Wouldn't have worked, because he needed to have had his brain frozen within an hour of death for the procedure to work.

Oh ok... I hadnt ever looked into the procedure. thanks

His shirt in the pix is good for motorcycle riding. When you fall off the bike going 60, those metal brads prevent road rash.

I am ashamed to admit that I am hoping the autopsies reveal once and for all why his skin was white. I always assumed it was some sort of drug--probably one that attacks the liver or something. There was talk of a disease, but I don't think that's the whole story.

I'm still convinced his ultimate goal from all those plastic surgeries was to end up looking like Diana Ross. She made him, and he wanted to be just like her. Shudder.

Diana Ross doesn't surprise me at all. But JOHN MCCAIN?

That had me on the floor for a second. Then scratching my head.

THAT is truly random.

Just remember to apply the pins while wearing the sweater for the full effect!

Hadn't heard of a split up, that's somewhat good news!

Anonymous101's picture

WTF?? Diana Ross?? Why not just give the poor kids to a non-celebrity (AND non-Jackson) already and let them live a quiet, normal life for once.

And forget the burial: what happened to melting him into legos for the kiddies?? That idea was my fav ;)

The estate should install an electronic fence, to keep joe OUT.

Is there any normal members of the Jacksons who are not publicity whores? If so, the kids need to go with them. Live far away from Hollyweird.
Janet & LaToya are already out of the running. They are both crazy publicity whores.

I believe Michael was an Angel of Earth, now he is an Angel of Heaven. I am sorry, I remember the first time I ever saw him do the Moon Walk...when I think of Michael, all I remember is that gorgeous guy I had a crush on when I was little...may he RIP...and shame on those who are making jokes about a dead man!

Got my reservations on that train by the time I was 16. Just never bought the victim persona for jacko. He was extremely narcisstic all his adult life..

In fairness, I will assume he was a kind and loving father, and acknowledge this is an unspeakably sad loss for his children.

Sorry to those who loved and respected him--don't mean to offend you--but I had to say my piece.

So why not just cremate him and put the jar on display at Neverland? Can anyone think of an appropriate dispenser for displaying his ashes??? Wait, let me get my Depends on. I know this will be good.....

I dunno, I'm pretty surprised he eft his kids to his mom. I mean, really? They'll be living with Joe now, wtf was MJ thinking. Seems he'd want to keep them out of his clutches.
----------------------------------------------

I could be wrong but didn't his mom and Joe separate a while back?

My backup choice would've been Janet. She's got none of her own and she seems like the only sane Jackson.

Although I kind of think that Katherine is still under his thumb, like the rest of them.

I believe this will is from 2002? What I read a couple places. Good to hear that his worth covers more than his debt....but then again, that's all the more for JJ to mooch.

I'm not totally shocked he named Diana Ross b/c the two were close but a better choice I think would be one of his sisters (not LaToya!). His mom is elderly and won't be around much longer i assume...and she is also married to the devil incarnate.

Sure it sounds wtf, but he loved the woman. And probably thought she was a better guardian than his own Father.

Well MK made my eyeballs jump! HAHA at John McCain, I wouldn't be surprise if Cindy McCain had TEA TIMES with MJ. and by tea times i mean... yeah you know what i mean.

"There's currently a law that forbids burials on private property. Gov. Schwarzenegger is trying to help the family get around the law..."

Another reason why California sucks dick. A millionaire pedophile dies, and the governor pulls down his pants to help him, instead of fixing their impending bankruptcy $24 Billion dollar deficit. California sucks up to the celebrities, and fucks over normal people. That state BLOWS...
