Miley Cyrus on the set of her Vanity Fair shoot

“My mistakes are kind of a little bit harder because they are in front of millions and millions of people… I get to go through that and I get to learn. It’s hard sometimes to smile about it, because half the time, yeah, it does suck to have to go through that. But also it makes you want to try harder the next time when I know that little girls look at me and say I’m their hero.”

- Teenage phenomenon/provocative picture taker Miley Cyrus on making mistakes (because “trying harder” after the suggestive Vanity Fair shoot clearly translated to pole dancing).

Michael Jackson has revealed just how much Michael Jackson, deceased, was worth at the time of his death. According to financial records, the King of Pop earned more than $1.3 billion in his long musical career - but the liquid assets he had at the time of his demise add up only to about .05% of this huge amount.

Jackson had about $668,215 in cash when he died earlier this year, though he does have additional assets totaling millions of dollars. His real estate is valued around $73,475,000, an amount based on the worth of Jackson’s two homes (Neverland and Encino Home). Professional equipment, media archival materials, his publishing trust and other personal property including antiques and automobiles brings the total up by approximately $126,000,000.

Even though is now dearly departed, his estate will continue to earn money perhaps into perpetuity, which means the singer’s future assets are practically limitless.

Michael JacksonThe LA County Coroner’s office has concluded its investigation into the mysterious death of pop superstar . They now know what killed the singer…they just aren’t telling anyone.

The police department for Los Angeles has put a hold on the case for security purposes, which means the results of Michael Jackson’s autopsy can’t be fully disclosed as of yet. Before Jackson’s human remains can be properly put to rest at Forest Lawn Cemetery, the death certificate must be changed to reflect the correct cause of death and a burial permit must be obtained. Since details cannot yet be made public, this, too, might be on hold until more is revealed in the case.

What’s the purpose of withholding the information? Look for the police to make an arrest soon, or otherwise further their criminal investigation into the case.

Paris KatherineWe’ve actually seen something similar once before. Anyone remember the confusion surrounding the daughter of Anna Nicole Smith? ’s three kids are Dannielynn times six, because almost anybody could claim to be the mother or father of the three. While it’s an accepted fact that Debbie Rowe is the biological mom to the two oldest Jackson heirs, no one knows much about the third - and we know even less about the male DNA used to create the tots.

Or…do we? Former child actor and Jackson friend Mark Lester has stepped forward to say that he is the father of Paris Jackson, Michael’s sole daughter. Lester claims he was asked for sperm by Jackson in 1996. Lester says “it was a gift to him.” Further, Lester claims that Paris looks a great deal like his own daughter Harriet.
