The King of Pop's mother, Katherine, has formed an alliance with Toronto entrepreneur Howard Mann. The estate's lawyers are monitoring releases from his Vintage Pop Media.


For someone trying to sell a book, it couldn't get much better than this: Oprah Winfrey, the nation's reader-in-chief, was holding up a glossy volume of Michael Jackson photographs for her vast Televisyen audience while tossing softball soalan to its co-author, the late singer's 80-year-old mother.

The gauzily shot moment of marketing emas last bulan was not the work of the official Jackson estate but of a little-known Toronto businessman, Howard Mann, a brash, goateed 38-year-old who cut his teeth in the titillation trade — nude online gambling, a naked women's wrestling league — and is now pursuing an unorthodox plan to profit from what he calls "the most valuable name in history."

That plan is a direct challenge to the Jackson estate, the behemoth quasi-corporation whose carefully strategized promotion of the pop star's legacy and ironhanded crackdown on unlicensed merchandise have translated into hundreds of millions in posthumous earnings. The brewing fight between the estate and Mann is the latest wrinkle in the settling of his affairs and another reminder that even in death, nothing involving the King of Pop is ever simple.

Mann is taking on the estate armed with two weapons — a legal loophole that he says gives him carte blanche to flout intellectual property laws and an unlikely alliance with Jackson's mother, Katherine. Frustrated with the size of her allowance from the estate, the family matriarch has entered into a business partnership with Mann in which she has telah diberi her blessing to the book and other projects and he has paid her what he berkata was "hundreds of thousands of dollars."

"I'm very pleased working with Howard. He's been very good to me," she berkata recently.

These joint endeavors are becoming a headache for estate administrators, who seem reticent to offend Katherine Jackson, the guardian of the singer's three children and a much admired figure to fans. A lawyer for the estate dismissed Mann's novel legal theory as flawed, but the administrators have not moved to stop sales of his unauthorized Jackson products as they have others who tried to cash in on Jackson's name atau likeness. For the past five months, the estate has sat silent as Mann's company, Vintage Pop Media, has touted its ownership of a trove of Jackson memorabilia — photos, personal papers, costumes and Muzik — and hawked the book, calendars and other items on its website.

Asked to explain, the estate's lawyer, Howard Weitzman, berkata of Mann: "His hari is coming. The estate will be taking appropriate legal action."

In the scope of the Jackson empire, with its $273-million deal with Sony and the $260-million konsert movie, Mann's ventures — the $39.99 book and the $27.98 calendar — are small-time. However, his projects have hit a nerve in the delicate relationship between Jackson's beloved mother and the two Muzik veterans he tapped in his will to control his business affairs.

Under the terms of a private trust set up sejak the will, the singer's children and his mother each get a 40% share of the trust with the remainder going to charity. Upon Katherine Jackson's death, her portion passes to the children. Jackson owed creditors about half a billion dollars at the time of his death. The estate remains in the red although massive Muzik and merchandise deals as well as financial restructuring have significantly reduced the debt.

In a telephone interview, Katherine Jackson praised administrators John Branca and John McClain for doing "a very good job" managing the estate but criticized her monthly cash allowance of $7,000 to $8,000 as inadequate and berkata it left her dependent on Mann to cover her expenses.

"I wish they would leave Howard alone and I wish they would leave me alone for working with Howard. I'm not greedy like people say. It's need not greed," she said.

The estate disputes the suggestion that administrators are not meeting her living expenses. Weitzman, the lawyer, noted that the allowance was approved sejak a probate judge and berkata the cash payments were only one aspect of the financial support that administrators provided. The estate also paid off the mortgage on the family utama in Encino and foots the bill for household staff, security, vehicles, food, tuition and vacations.

"The estate has spent millions of dollars for Mrs. Jackson's benefit and on the direct living expenses of both Mrs. Jackson and the children," Weitzman said.

But for Katherine Jackson, it is not enough. "I think I should be getting more," she said. She declined to specify why she needed the money. Her husband, Joe, sought an allowance from the court but was denied. Several other grandchildren also reside at the family home.
The past few days in the hospital have been wonderful for Becca. Andy and Michael kept visiting and checking up on her and it made her happy. They even teamed up to get her a present. That day, Michael stayed outside the room with the present while Andy went in. "Hey sis, how anda feeling?" He asked. "I'm feeling much better, Andy, thanks. Where's Michael?" She asked, holding Keiko in her arms while Brandon was asleep in his little bed. "He's outside. He had to do something really quick. But...he and I got anda something." "You did? anda guys didn't have to get me anything." "But we had to. We...

The seterusnya week during rehearsals
Becca had to sit out because of her being pregnant. Although, she couldn't wait until seterusnya week. Mainly because she gets to find out the gender of the baby. She watched Michael dance on stage and it was just phenomenal. Soon, she heard her phone go off. She got up and went out into the lobby and answered it. "Hello?" She asked. "Hello, this is Dr. Sharp. I'm calling about your ultrasound results. I'm gonna need to anda come in to check it out." He said. "What time should I come in?" "Any time is fine. Just as long as anda get here. It may surprise you." "Alright....

Days turned to weeks and Rosabel was happier than she had ever been. She was still staying at Neverland with Michael, Janet, Mac, Elijah and Simone. It was now the middle of December and Rosabel was getting lebih and lebih curious about Christmas. She had seen it snow for the first time, had her first snowball fight and built her first snowman all in one day. She had seen countless adverts for Krismas presents on TV and had already made her letter for Santa. The peculiar thing was that Neverland House still wasn't decorated. When Rosabel had asked Michael why the house wasn't decorated, he...

Rosabel took Michael's wet hand and dragged him over to the pool where everyone else was waiting.
"Michael, we heard your scream from here." Janet said, laughing.
"Guys, help me." Rosabel said, as she tried to tug Michael towards the pool.
Simone and Janet ran to help drag Michael.
"No, wait, please!" Michael protested. "Not the pool again! Anything but the pool!"
"On the count of three, okay?" Simone said. "One..."
"Really anda guys." Michael said.
"Two..."
"Don't do this!"
"Three!"
The girls all pushed Michael in and laughed as they watched him splash around.
"Great." He said, getting out. "Just fantastic....

The following day
Becca was the first one to wake up. She looked over at Michael and he was sound asleep. 'I have to admit...he looks really cute when he's asleep. Wait, what am I thinking?! He's 50...then again...age is just a number.' She thought and carefully got out of katil and out of the room. She walked around the house and got herself familiar with everything. She eventually found the dapur and thought of what to make. "Hm...what to make for breakfast...something for me and Michael..." She berkata to herself. She looked around the kitchen, then heard a song playing. It was Billie Jean....

The following week
Becca was standing in a long line. Katherine had just dropped her off and knew how long she had been practicing for this. She was wearing her Billie Jean baju she made with some help from her mother and her black skinny jeans and her white socks and loafers. She was the odd one out of the girls because she dressed like a guy. She was looking down, listening to 'Billie Jean' and heard a couple girls talking about her. "Look at her. She dresses like a guy." One said. The other chuckled. "Yeah, what a total weirdo. She'll never make it into This Is It." The other said. Then...

There have been a lot of fights going on recently that have been over the same reasons. Some people want this club, the MJ club, to be for MJ only. Fair enough. But what about when people want to share some Cinta and blessings with other fans? People get annoyed with us for that and I don't understand why. Michael believed in sharing Cinta with other people. He did it all the time. That was one of his biggest messages so therefore it counts as having something to do with MJ so it can be put on this club. Whenever people see things like this they think it's for our own personal purposes.

The fans...

Jennine sobbed in Michaels arms. What the hell was going on. Her brother picked up Jennines bag and carrie it out of the room. "Hey dont touch my stuf" she yelled after him. He ignored her. Rushing to follow him she stopped to a dead shock. Lying before her in front of the api, kebakaran was her lifeless body. michael kissed her and soothed her and then turned her to face him. "Jennine listen to me" he berkata gently stroking her face. "Youre dead. anda had a hati, tengah-tengah attack not lng after anda arrived here. Thats why anda can see me. " Jennine stared at him mouth wide open. Michael looked back at her with such Cinta waiting. Jennine went back into his arms and buried her face into his chest. "Michael I Cinta anda . I dont care that i'm dead." then she looked at his magnificent face and he smiled. "Thats exactly what I hoped anda would say. We will be together forever and I wont be lonely anymore." Then they kissed together forever. THE END.

hand shaking she turned the huge brass door knob. Gasping as the two doors swung open to a room that looked like a masive ballroom. Shiny black and white tiles and a huge chandelier which looked like crystal. And best of all this rom had lighting. There was a huge api, kebakaran place in the corner and Jennine shivering decided to try and light it. After she brushed aside the cobwebs she found an old fashioned lighter. a pile of logs were already in the middle so she lit them and soon there was a crackling fire. the room looked cozy as Jennine looked around for where she would sleep. She thought that someone was watching her as she moved around the house. Probably just her imagination she thought. Finding a huge old bedroom with a giant brass katil with red velvet bedspread and huge heavy red velevet curtains which made the room even darker. she placed her bag at the foot of the bed. Suddenly a footstep outside the door made her shrink in fear.

Jennine awoke to the sun shining into her room.She glanced at the clock and realised with a start that she had overslept. She had a long drive that day.Gulping down a quick cup of very strong coffee she threw some things into an overnight bag and quickly raced to her car.Driving along the highway she shook her head. I should NEVER have agreed to this stupid bet. Her brother had bet her his new car that she wouldnt have the nerve to spend the entire night in this infamous haunted house. She had heard some scary stories but was sure they had been made up growing lebih and lebih elaborate with each person telling them. Glancing at the road map she saw she had to turn left at the seterusnya sign. her car struggling to make the corner as she almost missed it and turned at the last minute. Smilimg she thought this is an easy bet. She couldnt wait to get rid of this piece of junk, sarap and get behind the wheel of her brothers shiny red new car.

jennine loved the feel of Michaels strong arms around her as they danced. the other girls tried to get Michaels attention but now he only had girl in his mind. He liked this blonde girl. Professional as he was he couldnt wait to get this rehearsal over so he could get to know Jennine. Finally they finished and all agreed to meet there tomorrow. Jennine didnt take her eyes off Michael. He looked so beautiful. She didnt want to leave him so she hang back til everyone left. Looking around she realised the room was empty.Disappointed she went to leave. hearing a soft footstep behind her she spun around and faced Michael. Giggling he laughed at her shocked face. "Its okay" he berkata in a soft voice. His brown eyes twinkled with humour. Jennine laughed nervously. "I sent everyone home."Michael berkata quietly all of a sudden shy.Staring uncertainly at each other Jennine wondered what was going to happen next. Michael walked toward her.
"What do anda mean?I'm Michael Jackson!",Michael said."Well,I looked like anda once,but I changed over the years!You can't be me,I'm me!",the man said."Actualy,he is anda and anda are him and anda both are Michael Jackson,from diffrent times!",Madelin explained."What?",both exclaimed in the same time."Can't anda hear your voices?It's the same!And Michael,don't anda reconize yourself from the thriller era?"."Yes,i do,but this seems like a bad dream how could it be?"."Well,I had the same problem yesterday when I came here at the same jam apparently.But things are like this:I was kidnapped sejak this strange...

CHAPTER 5



Michael waited at the steps of the house.
Two hours past and jet nothing happened still.
Another jam added on to that and he started to get worried. “What if something happened to her?”He asked himself “What if something Skulduggery Pleasant killed her?”Michael thought a lot to himself. He started to pace, “No, of course not, she’s fine. Just running a bit late,” He berkata to himself, “But I’m going to phone her anyway. Just to make sure.” He raced into the house and grabbed the phone. He dialled the number and in the saat ring she answered, “This is a bad time!”...

Here's the link to the intro if anda guys haven't checked it out already: link

Angelica woke up from her multicolored polka dot katil after hearing raucous in the hallway sejak her room. She peaked her head outside and took a look. Of course, it was two of her cousins, Royal and Jaffar, and her sister, Paris, laughing at some YouTube video they were watching on Paris’s computer, and to make matters worse, at 4 in the morning. Angelica became angry that she had awoken so early for such complete lembu, lembu jantan crap, as she called it. Angelica particularly didn’t like to swear, to any degree, but sometimes...

Sorry this took so long. I was having a hard time writing, but i finally finished part 3. Enjoy!!

Driving home, there was little interaction between Michael and Chloe. When he did try to talk to her, she'd kerang, kima up and she bore a strange expression as she sat nearly Frozen in place. Figuring it to be stress related, Michael thought nothing of it. He couldn't have been farther from the truth. When they arrived home, Chloe seemed to snap out of her trancelike state, but the strange expression on her face remained. As she proceded to get out of the car, a sudden weakness came over her and she nearly...
