Michael Jackson has filed a grant deed that transfers ownership of Neverland to the Sycamore Valley Ranch Company.
The company is a joint venture between Jackson and Colony Capital, the property investment company owned by Tom Barrack, which purchased Jackson's debt in May when he defaulted on a $24.5M mortgage on the ranch.

Worst Hotel Guest Ever
Michael Jackson has achieved the dubious honour of appearing on concierge.com's roll call of honour of "Worst Hotels Guests Ever".
Jackson appears in the list primarily because he dangled his baby out of a hotel window in 2002, and for forcing the World Music Awards to book nearly the whole of London's Hempel Hotel before his performance in 2006.
He also asked staff to erect an 18ft wall on the first floor to protect his privacy.
Others on the list include Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Nicole Kidman and Amy Winehouse.
Something to be proud of, not!

The claim is for £12,051, the balance of a loan of £20,551 he made to Tito Jackson for Tito's flights from the United States to the UK, and expenses, for a visit and television programme earlier this year.

The Jackson Five Reunited
NME report that a Jackson Five reunion may be in the cards at the BMI eighth annual Urban Awards, which will be held at the Wilshire Theatre in Beverly Hills on September 4.
All well and good, except that they then go on to say that Michael is the only brother not to confirm his attendance; thus making it a reunion of the Jackson 4.

Jackson Incapable
Jack Wishna, a Las Vegas promoter, has stated that in his view Michael Jackson is incapable of performing in Las Vegas or anywhere else.
There has been media speculation that Jackson would headline at his own show in Vegas, following a deal done to save Neverland with a group that has links to the Las Vegas Hilton.
However, Wishna has poured cold water on that. He is quoted in the National Enquirer:
"Sadly, Michael's incapable of keeping promises, because he hasn't got the will to even show up anywhere, much less get himself into shape for a world-class performance.
He might drop by to wave at guests, or do a dance on top of a limo, but a longterm show? That dream will never come true, I'm afraid."

XtraJet Incorporated was ordered to pay damages to Michael Jackson's lawyer, Mark Geragos, and his associate, Pat Harris, for invading their privacy. Xtrajet taped Jackson and his lawyers as they flew to Jackson's surrender on molestation charges in 2003.
