Legalities and Mystery Shrouds Michael Jackson’s estate
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Celebrity Babies, Legal Issues, Videos, Rumors,
At the height of his career in the late 80s, when he was doing commercials and worldwide tours for huge audiences, Michael Jackson was truly the King of Pop. It was reported that the singer was worth around $2 billion US - not a bad little bit of change.
In the wake of Jackson’s death, however, it’s much harder to pin down a figure. As of right now, the size of Jackson’s estate remains largely unknown. It was reported recently that the singer still had around $350,000, while other sources estimated Jackson at closer to $800 million. Some reports even suggest that Jackson was actually in debt - one news organization says the amount could reach up to $500 million.
Who will inherit the burden or largesse, such as the case may be? This, too, remains a mystery. Early reports and court documents filed by parents Katherine and Joe Jackson suggested that Michael died intestate (without a will), but a lawyer has stepped forward to refute these claims.

Questionable Outfit of the Day: Beyonce
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Clothing, Fashion Police, Red Carpet,
If there is anyone who could have overshadowed Janet Jackson’s BET Awards appearance last night, it was Beyonce.
I believe it was Coco Chanel who said that when it came to accessorizing, you should always take off the last thing you put on. Unfortunately, this musical diva went a bit too far. What was already a loud dress was made even more garish when she paired it with large turquoise-colored hoops and beaded heels.
Now we know why Jay-Z’s always wearing sunglasses…
(Make sure to check out our other questionable outfits.)

Britney Spears Goes Brunette (Again)
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music, Hair Styles, Photos, Paparazzi Photos,
Britney Spears never slows down: first she prances around Los Angeles with a ring on her finger. Now she shows up around town with darker locks!
Personally, I like her with whatever hair (except when she doesn’t have any at all); she seems to pull off most of them. I am also glad to see her seemingly-happy these days in her photos.
Well, what do you think of her darker look?

Is That a Ring on Britney Spears’ Finger?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Engagements, Rumors,
At any other time, Britney Spears news might generate more buzz. But her love life could fly under the radar…at least, for a little while.
These days, pictures of the singer with her new reported boyfriend, agent Jason Trawick, are not exactly unusual. But a picture of the singer with a nice ring on her left hand? Priceless.
In these photos taken earlier this week in Los Angeles, Spears does not attempt to the hide that piece of bling (or her white bra). Should we be reading anything more into this? Or should we be hoping it isn’t real?

Jackson Family Meets with LAPD
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Child Stars, Obituaries, Rumors,
As reported earlier, there are still some questions surrounding the untimely death of recording legend Michael Jackson. TMZ is reporting that Katherine, Joe and “several brothers” met with police officers at the pop star’s home earlier today.
The site says that both sides wanted the meeting - the family to learn more about Jackson’s death, the police to gain information that might help them determine the cause of the crooner’s fatal cardiac arrest. This meeting ended the same day.
TMZ has also reported that Dr. Conrad Murray, Jackson’s physician, sent a letter to his patients less than two weeks ago. In the letter, the doctor informed them he would be leaving his medical practice. “I am deeply saddened to leave you at this point, but please know my absence is not permanent,” the letter reads.
ET has posted a picture of Michael Jackson as he was being treated by paramedics - the last-known photograph taken of the singer during his life. Michael Jackson was 50 at the time of his death Thursday afternoon. The “King of Pop,” he enjoyed extreme success in the music industry, with a career that spanned four decades.

Michael Jackson’s death speculation
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Legal Issues, Breaking News, Obituaries,
Michael Jackson was pronounced dead at 2.26pm yesterday, it has been confirmed.
The 50-year-old musical legend - who is survived by three children, Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11 and seven-year-old Prince Michael II - suffered a suspected cardiac arrest at his home and was rushed to Los Angeles’ UCLA Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Michael’s manager Frank DiLeo said: “It’s a very sad day for all of us. It’s such a terrible shame. He was my friend. The kids are very upset, but they are fine.”
Michael’s mother Katherine is currently looking after the star’s three children.
An emergency 911 call was made from Michael Jackson’s home at 12.30pm, and Michael had no pulse when medics arrived on the scene. He was in a coma when he arrived at hospital. A hospital statement said: “His personal physician, who was with him at the time, attempted to resuscitate Jackson, as did paramedics who transferred him. A team of doctors including emergency physicians and cardiologists attempted to resuscitate for a period of more than one hour but were unsuccessful.”

It was clear long before Michael Jackson ever arrived at the hospital yesterday that his condition was critical.
In a newly released audio tape (which can be heard here), an unidentified caller tells a 911 operator that they have a 50-year-old “gentlemen” who is not conscious or breathing. The male later explained that a personal doctor had been with the patient and was already working on trying to revive him. “He’s pumping his chest but he’s not responding to anything,” the caller says.
