Another Day, Another Lawsuit
Now, in death, the late Michael Jackson has become a wealthy man again he (or rather his estate's money) is much in demand.
Dr Tohme Tohme, Michael Jackson's last business manager, has filed a lawsuit in LA seeking at least $2.3M from Jackson's estate.
He claims that he is entitled to revenue from various posthumous deals, including last year's "This Is It" documentary.
The case is scheduled for a court hearing on 7 October.
As ever, the legal profession is making a very comfortable living out of all of this.

Prince and Paris To Bear Witness?
The media report that Dr Conrad Murray's defence team are considering calling Paris and Prince (two of the late Michael Jackson's children) to testify at Dr Murray's manslaughter trial.
The "game plan", according to the media, being that the defence will argue that Jackson was already an addict, and that the children will testify that they often saw their father "under the influence".
I am not quite sure how claiming that Jackson was already addicted helps Dr Murray.

$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?
