It is reported that Michael Jackson left Neverland on 19th June, and went to Paris in order to try to restart his career.
He is allegedly in discussions with a number of directors, including Mark Stewart (son of Jackie Stewart), regarding the possible production of a documentary.

Joe Jackson's Money Worries
Joe Jackson, Michael Jackson's father, is reportedly worried about his son's finances following the trial.
Joe is reportedly worried that Michael Jackson has been left physically and financially crippled by the stress of the trial, and the poor advice from those close to him.
Quote:
"Am I worried about his financial problems? Yes, I am! If he didn't trust the wrong people, he wouldn't have been in this situation."
A cynic might suggest that part of his fear is based on the realisation that Michael will not be making as much money for him (Joe) as he did in the past.
