Michael Jackson update

Ever since Michael Jackson passed away, news surrounding him, his estate, his children, will and everything else has been really everywhere.  Instead of writing endlessly about everything that's happening, I wanted to condense it into one nice little area for you.

Funeral:

Michael Jackson's funeral is set to be held on July 7th at the Staples Center at 10am.  AEG Live, who is arranging things for the service, doesn't know whether or not they'll also be using the Nokia Theater for the service, so we'll keep you posted on that.  Tickets are $25 and they're also selling t-shirts to commemorate the occasion.

Secret Girlfriend:

Michael's longtime security guard, Matt Fiddes, says that Michael had a secret girlfriend.  He was reportedly dating her at the time he died.  He isn't revealing who she is and says that it's up to her whether or not she wants to make herself known.

Casket:

Michael will be buried in a $25,000 casket from Batesville Casket Company.  The same casket was used to bury James Brown.

Will:  (taken from TMZ)

Katherine Jackson will get 40% of the assets.
Michael's 3 kids will get another 40%.
And the remaining 20% goes to several children's charities. We're told the charities have not been designated yet and are not specified in the trust.

Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
