Murder?
The late Michael Jackson's sister, La Toya, is reported to believe that Jackson was murdered for his money.
She allegedly claims that Jackson was "victim" of a "shadowy entourage" who got him hooked on drugs, and wanted to milk him for his money.
Whilst it is highly likely that there were many people around Jackson who had covetous eyes on his money, "murdering" him would surely be killing the golden goose?
It would be in the interests of this "shadowy entourage" to keep him alive as long as possible so that they could continue to "milk" him.

Resolution Blocked
A resolution sponsored by Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, honoring Michael Jackson has been blocked by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
"A resolution, I think, would open up to contrary views to — that are not necessary at this time to be expressed in association with a resolution whose purpose is quite different."
Somewhat less diplomatically Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., posted a video on YouTube calling Michael Jackson a "pervert" and a "paedophile".

Michael Jackson's Brain
The Los Angeles assistant chief coroner, Ed Winter, said that Michael Jackson's brain, or part of it, would be returned to the Jackson family for interment after further tests.
The death certificate does not identify the cause of death.

Crackdown on Touts
Unsurprisingly the tickets for the funeral/memorial of the late Michael Jackson, to be held today in Los Angeles, are being touted on the net for staggering sums of up to $25K.
Craigslist and eBay state that, when a tout is flagged by other users, they are pulling the adverts as soon as they can.
Over 1.6M applied for the 17,500 free tickets.
The service will be streamed live on the net. It is expected that the online demand to view the service live will slow down the net quite noticeably.

Going Like Hot Cakes
The Telegraph reports that over 1.2 million people had entered the global online lottery for the 17,500 available tickets for the late Michael Jackson's memorial service, 24 hours after the website for applications opened.
Applications are being received at a rate of around 50,000 per hour, or more than 800 per minute.
Doubtless many of these free tickets will end up being sold by touts.
Good luck to the police trying to control the crowd at the service!
In other news, it seems that (in order to facilitate further tests) Jackson's body will be buried without its brain.

AEG Live Denies Bankruptcy
AEG Live, the promoter of the late Michael Jackson's O2 residency, has denied that it is standing on the edge of bankruptcy.
They cite the fact that they will be able to make money out of DVD sales of Jackson rehearsing, a possible 9 month tribute and some insurance recovery of monies expended (not lost revenue).
Wrt insurance, it may well be that the policy will be void if the autopsy indicates that Jackson was under the influence of drugs or had a medical condition.
Meanwhile, AEG Live are offering fans that chance to acquire free tickets for the memorial service. As there is expected to be a massive oversubscription, the tickets will be allocated by a draw.
Initially only US fans were allowed to apply for these tickets, until a British tabloid kicked up a fuss and forced AEG into a U turn allowing non US fans to apply as well.

Michael Jackson's Funeral
Reports currently indicate, be advised that this is a very "fluid" story, that Michael Jackson's funeral will be held on Tuesday at the Staples Centre (owned by AEG the promoters of Jackson's O2 residency), the home of LA Lakers in Los Angeles.
The stadium can hold up to 20,000 people, with the option for large television screens to be placed outside for thousands of other fans to watch. Apparently, 11,000 free tickets will be made available.
The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, which hosted the 1984 Olympic Games and can hold 92,000 people, has also emerged as a possible venue for a memorial.
Seemingly Michael Jackson will be buried in a solid bronze, gold-plated coffin worth $25K.

Jackson Memorial Cancelled
Unsurprisingly ghoulish plans to display Michael Jackson's corpse in a glass coffin, and bury him at Neverland appear to have been nixed.
It seems that the Jackson family have been unable to obtain permission to bury him on private property.

A Terrific Wheeze!
AEG Live, the promoter of the late Michael Jackson's O2 residency, has come up with a terrific money saving wheeze to minimise the amount it has to refund to fans who bought tickets.
AEG Live is suggesting that the fans can keep the tickets (non black market tickets costing £50 to £75), if they agree to forgo their rights to claim a refund.
The tickets feature lenticular images, which give them a 3D moving effect. Whilst that may be a small inducement, the real inducement is the possibility that the tickets will become collectors' items.

Foul Play?
Joe Jackson, father of Michael Jackson, is reported to suspect foul play in the death of his son:
"Michael was dead before he left the house. I'm suspecting foul play somewhere. He was waving to everybody and telling them he loves them and all the fans at the gate. A few minutes after Michael was out there, he was dead."
Quite why he suspects that is not clear.
Whilst that conspiracy theory may make for some very lurid reporting, that some people will believe, the reality is likely to be far more banal (drug addiction, stress and undernourishment) if reports of the preliminary autopsy findings are anything to go by.
Jackson reportedly weighed 51kg at time of death, and his stomach was empty except for partially-dissolved prescription pills.
His hips, thighs and shoulders were covered in needle marks, the result of narcotic painkillers that he took three times a day.

The Vultures Now Circle
It should come as no surprise to anyone, given the complexity of Michael Jackson's life, that there are many "loose ends" to tie up now that he has died a.o.:
- What caused his death?
- Why did the police need to track down Jackson's doctor (Dr Conrad Murray), and impound the doctor's car?
- Who will have custody of his children?
- Did he leave a will?
- What happens to his assets, if indeed there are any assets left after his debts have been deducted?
- Will those who were suing him in life, continue their actions and sue his estate?
- Will everyone who has bought a ticket for Jackson's O2 concerts receive a refund, it is not at all certain that they will? etc.
The vultures are now circling what remains of his estate, and will do their best to pick the carcass of that estate clean.

Self Insured
AEG Live, the company that was hosting Michael Jackson's residency this summer at the O2 Arena in London, is facing a probable loss of around £300M.
Under normal circumstances an insurance policy would have been taken out. However, given the scepticism at the time in the insurance community, over whether Jackson could complete the residency, AEG Live opted for self insurance.

Too Many Gigs?
The Sun quotes Michael Jackson:
"Thank you for your love and support, I want you guys to know I love you very much.
I don't know how I'm going to do 50 shows. I'm not a big eater - I need to put some weight on.
I'm really angry with them booking me up to do 50 shows. I only wanted to do 10, and take the tour around the world to other cities, not 50 in one place.
I went to bed knowing I sold 10 dates, and woke up to the news I was booked to do 50."
It may be wise for Jackson's PR people to have a word with him about this.

Papers provided by Raymone Bain, supporting her £33M case against Michael Jackson, claim that he spent nearly £4M on statues of Peter Pan and children playing games together despite being heavily in debt.
Quite how that supports her claim for £33M is unclear at this stage.
