According to one of Michael Jackson's lawyers, his will has been found and shall be filed with the court. Speculation is rampant that his children are not his own, meaning biologically they belong to someone else. Even Debbie Rowe's maternity is being question, though she denies it.

Michael Jackson is also set to take the number one spot on the Billboard charts next week, with three of his old albums selling 100,000 copies each. It's not as much as Sony hoped for, as 300,000 copies sold, with an additional 1.8 million singles bought online, constitutes only a few million dollars in revenue that has to be split with others.

Considering how Sony robbed Jackson in life, shall they try it in death as well. It is going to be difficult for his family to secure a successful accounting of his royalties and the money due to him from the Beatles' catalog.

Other questions need to be asked about Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray. It has been reported he took half an hour to call 911 when he found the singer unconscious and administered CPR with one hand on Jackson's back, whilst he was on the bed. CPR is traditionally performed on the floor. The doctor's license has lapsed and he was affiliated with a clinic writing questionable prescriptions.

In more tragic news, 12 Michael Jackson fans killed themselves when they heard of his passing. That's terrible. I implore his fans not to do this. It is not right that one should die over an entertainer. 

Will for Jackson Is Found, but No Details Are Given

Published: June 30, 2009 - LOS ANGELES — A lawyer for the family of Michael Jackson said Tuesday that a will for him had been found, as officials in Santa Barbara County prepared for the possibility of a public viewing and memorial service for Mr. Jackson at his Neverland Ranch in the coming days.

The Jackson 5’s sales have also been affected by Jackson’s death. “The Ultimate Collection” and “20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection” have both been moving fast...

Jackson is also expected to rule the Hot Digital Songs chart with 1.8 million songs downloaded last week. Fans bought “Man in the Mirror,” “The Way You Make Me Feel,” “Billie Jean” and “Smooth Criminal” in big numbers.
