His will is out, the public viewing is being planned and album sales are through the roof. No matter where you turn, Michael Jackson’s legacy is everywhere.
Wednesday morning, Jackson’s 7-year-old will was filed in a Los Angeles court, according to the Associated Press. The biggest news was Debbie Rowe, the biological mother of Jackson’s kids (though Jackson wasn’t the biological father) was completely cut out. At the time, Michael estimated his worth to be around $500 million and all of that is to be left to the Michael Jackson Family Trust. His mother, Katherine Jackson, is named as the beneficiary and chosen guardian for the children, with singer Diana Ross as the back up.
In other news Neverland Ranch, Michael’s mythic home in Santa Barbara County, is the topic of discussion as it’s the rumored site of a public viewing and memorial that’s tentatively scheduled for Friday.
However, as of Wednesday morning, no final plans were set. Photos of the Ranch, seen at places like MTV News and TMZ, show that preparations are underway for some kind of event. Rumors are swirling of Jackson being ushered in in a white carriage, a possible procession 125 miles north from the Staples Center in Los Angeles and much more.
And finally, Jackson will have the top three spots on the best selling album chart this week with “Number Ones,” “Essential Michael Jackson,” and “Thriller,” according to the AP.
This madness is far from over.
