Michael Jackson wrongful death lawsuit

MJ's mamadukes Katherine is seriously considering filing a wrongful death suit because of the circumstances surrounding Michael's death. It's been rumored that it was coming for a while, but since Dr. Conrad Murray has been investigated more times than my ex-girlfriend got chlamydia, Katherine's really thinking about pulling the trigger on it. And concert promoter AEG may also be in the line of fire too, considering they had a very active role in MJ's life for the last 6 months during rehearsals and promotion for the This Is It tour in London. They also paid for his home and provided Dr. Murray, which makes them look not-so-good.

I say go for it. Rape the absolute hell outta their wallets, K-Jack. (Yes, I just called MJ's mother K-Jack.)

Joe Jackson not raising MJ's kids

While Joe Jackson admits that he sees his grandchildren, Paris, Prince I, and Prince II pretty often, he's agreed to butt out of the parental duties when it comes to them and let Katherine do all of the work. He spells it out pretty clear as day in court documents.

I have had a close family relationship with these grandchildren since their birth. I do visit the family residence from time to time and will continue to do so, however I will not be involved in raising the children. I understand that all decision-making authority regarding the children will rest with Katherine Jackson. Katherine Jackson is a wonderful caretaker and guardian, and has done an excellent job raising our children and other grandchildren.

Good thing, because Katherine would probably beat his creepy-faced ass if he even tried laying down some authority on those kids.

Katherine Jackson speaks

For the first time since Michael Jackson died, his mother Katherine is finally speaking out about the mystery of her MJ's death. She told Geraldo on his show Geraldo At Large that something seems fishy.

All I know is that my son is dead, and I don't think he just died of natural causes or whatever. He's too young for that. Something happened, I don't know what it was and I can't say.

Look, I don't think anyone murdered MJ or purposely gave him too much Propofol or too much of any other drug to kill him. I honestly think one of his docs was just a total dumbass and messed up, and they messed up pretty f*cking big.

Katherine Jackson receives custody of Jackson kids

We've just found out that Katherine Jackson has received full custody of all three of Michael Jackson's three children, Paris, Prince I and Prince II. The kids will stay with their grandmother full time, but Debbie Rowe, who is the biological mother of Paris and Prince I, will be able to have full visitation rights. The agreement hasn't officially been signed in court yet, but it's expected to be today.

Katherine Jackson grieving

Katherine Jackson has remained pretty strong ever since the death of her son Michael, but sources are saying that it's finally starting to hit her and she's starting to get really upset. A family friend says that her eyes are red almost all the time and she's been crying a lot, but she's trying to stay strong for her 3 grandchildren. Speaking of the grandkids, she's had temporary custody of them since MJ died, and a hearing is scheduled later today about the kids' custody.

Michael Jackson update

I threw up a post yesterday about Michael Jackson's children being in limbo and no one really being sure what would happen to them now that their father is dead. I mentioned that Katherine made a formal petition for custody of her three grandkids, and also pointed out the fact that the biological mother of Prince I and Paris, Debbie Rowe, gave up her custodial rights back in the day. I've heard (from my lovely friend Amy Grindhouse) that Debbie never did that.

HOWEVER, later on last night, it was discovered that Michael actually had will, where he said that he wanted his mother to have custody of his kids if anything ever happened to him. On top of that, he left part of his estate to his kids and mother, and also some charities. Now, it's no secret that Michael was in a ridiculous amount of debt ($500 million), but obviously everything involving him now is a novelty. Everyone is rushing out to get his albums, and any Michael merchandise or antyhing used by/related to Michael has skyrocketed in price, so it's actually looking like that debt could possibly be eliminated over a little time.

And a last bit of news -- expect possible one or a few Michael albums to drop after his death. He apparently recorded over 100 secret songs that no one knew about. Not to mention that there's video of him rehearsing for what was supposed to be his farewell tour (which would've started in a couple weeks) at the Staples Center in LA. I heard last night that it's still in the production stages, so expect that to be released and fly off the shelves, too.
