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.

Excuse me, but the The Governator is trying to help a fellow celeb get around the LAW? And he's ADMITTING it? What a fuck.
If I'm not mistaken (and I very well could be), the reason we don't bury people on private property is because it could pollute the water table. And who wants to buy a property, dig a hole for a pool or a foundation and find human remains?
But Michael Jackson was just so special, we have to break the law for HIM.
Joe Jackson is happy right now that he's going to be rolling in Michael's dough after all. At this exact moment, I see Joe telling his posse that his record label is finally coming to fruition. Al Sharpton is already picking out his color on his new Caddie.

Expecting my third in October.
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.
Not to reveal that I follow these things, but my understanding was that he defaulted on neverland payments and it reverted to the state or mortgageholder or some such--that is to say, neither this family nor his estate owns it. Doubtless the owner would be glad to get it off his hands, though, for a small price.
The disposition of the beatles publishing rights, northern lights music, will be interesting, as it had been mortgaged and the holder of that note wanted it as well. FYI--this is considered the crown jewel of his assets--a prize much sought after.
I doubt his estate is worth that much--if its even solvent--and if it was, he was a horrible miser who left a trail of bad debts and unpaid employees everywhere he went.

Did ya notice how this thing keeps getting delayed? I guess Papa Joe's T-shrit vender can crank them out fast enough.
I like this picture of him. He should have stopped right there with the plastic surgery.

Well, the Santa Barbara County officials had better get on it. There are HORDES of people gathered outside Neverland right now and, yes, even TENTS have been pitched outside too

Kinda convenient it's happening close to the 4th, so many crazies will have the day off. I know I do!
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.

LoL. Kuh-razy!
I'm glad someone had enough foresight to extablish a trust. Keep ol' Joe's grimy pe-paws off the money. He probably gets an allowance of $50/month.
Diana Ross is a surprise, but then again you never saw her kids out and about, and you still don't very often. Diana's one son hangs out on the scene but you never really hear about him doing anything wild. Diana would have those kids packed off to a boarding school in Switzerland in no time flat, it's what she did with her own.

I wouldn't wanna tell that lot that they can't come in. I'm so glad his scum sucking pig father was left out of the will, even though he still benefits indirectly through the mother. That bastard caused more emotional damage to Michael than probably anything else and that kind of damage you can't shake. Sadness.

Diana Ross? Really? THE Diana Ross? MJ was just... I don't even know.
I don't mean to be offensive, but he was a lot easier to look at when he was a black man.

The dogs are probably drawn to Wino because her crotch area always smells like rotten brisket in an empty tuna can.
The more and more I read about MJ, the sadder I get. Such a sad tale.
