Jackson Merchandising Deal Delayed After Katherine Jackson Raises Several Issues What The...?!!!

August 17, 2009



Michael Jackson fans will have to wait a little longer for official merchandise after a judge delayed his approval of key contracts.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff declined to rule on merchandising deals after the singer's mother raised several issues.

Beckloff wants to appoint an attorney to represent the interests of Jackson's three children, who are substantial beneficiaries to their father's estate, along with Katherine Jackson.

The proposed agreements are between Jackson's estate and concert promoter AEG Live and merchandiser Bravado, which would get worldwide rights to sell Jackson-themed goods and exhibit memorabilia. Beckloff said Monday he will decide on the issue in a week, if not sooner.

The beat goes on.

I always knew you had it in you

The movie is such a blatent cash-in. Rehearsal footage is for die hards only. Interesting, but for cinema's? I cant see it being a hit but hey, Sony knows best I guess.

I would love to see a Beatles Anthology style documentary on Jacko. That documentary is awesome, and Iam not even a big beatles fan....

....Make it 12 hours, split it into 2 hours each segment or something? Make it official. Preferably get someone decent like ITV or BBC to help make it it LOL.....

And then FOX (not the news channel) can air it here in the US.

Timmy84 said:

Reportedly, Mrs Jackson has taken issue with a pending deal involving AEG Live.

Timmy84 said:

Iam sure if the Jacksons made it or whatever they could make alot of money. Maybe in a few years they will, but a positive, huge documantary would be awesome though.

People gonna hate me for this, but the Martin Bashir documentary was well made, well paced and very interesting. Such a shame Mike got fucked over, but that was the real him, (as opposed to the lite, carefully planned Oprah one), for good and for worse. Yes, he seemed like a nice, gentle sincere guy but he was so dellusional it was sad. Only 2 surgeries on your nose Mike? Hmmm. That part was really, really sad.

Copycat said:

Yeah I just read it at the KOPD.

thesexofit said:

Well made but not to the best of MJ's benefit unfortunately.

Bashir edited the hell out of the doc to cast MJ in negative context, after saying positive things to him face to face. MJ released his own seldom mentioned version of the interview as proof.

Copycat said:

Exactly.

Timmy84 said:

Well, thats the closest we will get to see the real him. Bashir knew how naive Mike was etc..., and that was a horrible thing to do, but he did call Mike out on his surgeries at the end. It was harsh and many would say uncalled for, but the response from Mike was so telling....

...for all the hate Bashir gets, its one of the most interesting things Mike had done in recent years, and he came out of it better then Bashir by people I spoke to at the time. Not that that matters a jot to Michael, who did indeed get fucked over. "you dont climb tree's?" "No I do bloddy not". Some funny moments LOL.

thesexofit said:

That's true, then again, MJ was SMART enough to have a cameraman filming alongside the others.

Timmy84 said:

I love Mike and all, but that "private home movies" thing was pretty boring for me personally. It was exactly what I thought it would be but still... I want interviews man, not Mike having a water baloon fight LOL.

thesexofit said:

Not that, the "Footage You Were Never Meant to See" one.

Timmy84 said:

I think I musta missed that one LOL. Iam sure its pretty dull though. I could try youtube. What was that "private home movies" thing all about then?

Copycat said:

Well that's weird because I just bought a long sleeve t-shirt from a reputable retailer of one of the 'official' t shirt designs with the AEG LIVE trademark stamp in small print at the bottom of it. They only had 3 designs. I got this one

except it was long sleeve. It was Made in Honduras

better watch what u can places are deletingMJ stuff left a right

Judge approves Michael Jackson merchandising deal
By ANTHONY McCARTNEY (AP) –
http://www.google.com/hos...gD9A4UGHO1
LOS ANGELES — A judge has approved a deal that will bring Michael Jackson merchandise to store shelves.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff approved the deal during a court hearing Monday. Beckloff heard from attorneys for Jackson's mother, Katherine, the current administrators of Jackson's estate and a newly appointed attorney for the singer's three young children.

The merchandise agreement allows for items such as trading cards, clothing and digital goodies to be sold. The judge had delayed approval of the agreements after Katherine Jackson had raised objections to the contracts with concert promoter AEG Live and merchandiser Bravado.

Those objections were withdrawn, but the lawyers raised new objections to AEG's involvement in a proposed memorabilia tour, which is still awaiting approval. Beckloff scheduled an evidentiary hearing for Friday on whether the tour is the best deal for Jackson's estate.

Kathy Jorrie, an attorney for AEG, said the exhibition faces a tight deadline and its interest might wane if the tour isn't approved soon. She said the company was not interested in renegotiating the deal.

AEG wants the memorabilia tour to open at the same time as a movie using footage of Jackson's final rehearsals for a series of London concerts. The deal is expected to generate about $7 million for the estate, said Howard Weitzman, an attorney for the current administrators of the estate.

One of the concessions Katherine Jackson is apparently seeking is the authority to sign off on the deal. Beckloff said he was inclined to reject that argument.

"She doesn't own the property," Beckloff said. "There's no reason to make her a signatory to those agreements."

Burt Levitch, an attorney for Katherine Jackson, said there was more than money at stake: He said the singer's legacy is on the line and that there is concern Jackson's estate isn't receiving the best deal from AEG.

Beckloff said he was in a difficult position and was concerned that delays in approving the deal — which was first proposed nearly two weeks ago — are hurting the estate.

"I see the delay as a real problem for the estate," Beckloff said.
