$300M Lawsuit Dismissed
US District Judge Harold Baer Jr. has dismissed a $300M lawsuit by AllGood Entertainment Inc, a concert promoter, against the late Michael Jackson over a failed reunion concert.
Judge Baer cited a lack of evidence that the Jackson or his family were under a binding agreement to perform at a reunion concert.
AllGood Entertainment Inc originally sued Jackson for $40M on June 10 2009, before Jackson died, they then later filed a creditor's claim with Jackson's estate, claiming the potential value of the lawsuit was at least $300M.
Inflation or what?

US investigators have said that seven doctors who treated Michael Jackson, in the years before his death, will not face criminal charges.
However, Jackson's personal doctor Conrad Murray, who denies involuntary manslaughter, is not one of those seven.

Happenstance
Now that the late Michael Jackson is "in the money", it is "coincidental" to see that there are numerous people/organisations all making a claim for a portion of that money.
By happenstance Mocienne Petit Jackson has filed documents with L.A. County Superior Court, claiming that her mother Barbara (sister to Diana Ross) was impregnated by Jackson when he was 17.
She goes on to claim that when she was 9, Jackson's mother had her abducted and sent to Belgium. The 7 abductors were then allegedly murdered.
Well now!

Fans Vadalise Jackson's Tomb
Fans of the late Michael Jackson have defaced his mausoleum with messages written in indelible ink, expressing how much they miss him.
The misguided fans may consider this to be a "tribute". However, in reality, it is vandalism; and will ensure that access to the site is restricted, even for those who are not vandals.

Bubbles Adopted For a Year
The future of Bubbles, at least for the next year, has been assured.
Merrick Watts, Scott Dooley and Ricki-Lee Coulter (Sydney based Nova 969 radio hosts) have paid $10K to be the chimp's parents for a year.
Certainly this is a far more realistic proposal than the current story pushed by the media, that Michael Jackson wanted Bubbles to be able to speak.
