Michael's Final Art Deal Revealed
July 28, 2009

Art and antique collector Michael Jackson's final big-price purchases have been revealed - three paintings by Nelson De La Nuez.

The King of Pop bought the pieces, including a colourful portrait of the Wicked Witch of the West, on 11 June 2009 - exactly two weeks before his death.

According to sources, Jackson paid $13,000 for the three paintings, which were delivered to his rented home in Holmby Hills, California on June 15th.

Fight Over Michael Jackson's Estate Heats Up
July 28, 2009


Michael Jackson has yet to be laid to rest and already a battle over his potentially lucrative inheritance is gaining intensity between his mother Katherine and the lawyers for his estate and concert promoter, according to court documents released Tuesday.

Katherine, who earlier lost a bid to be temporary administrator of the entertainer's estate, is demanding the speedy production of mountains of financial documents, including contracts Jackson entered into with his estate, record label, concert officials, and even his father Joseph.

"The special administrators [of Jackson's estate] have, up to this point, refused all requests," she says in papers filed in Los Angeles Superior Court. Her filing alleges the administrators are "apparently intent on keeping her in the dark as much and for as long as possible."

Attorneys for Jackson's estate and AEG, which was to promote Jackson's big comeback concert this summer in London, countered that her request is "voluminous, burdensome and invasive." They also expressed concern that Katherine would not uphold a confidentiality agreement for Jackson's concert deal.

"Without the safeguards necessary to ensure the continued confidentiality of the artist agreement and any proposed modifications, AEG cannot provide such information to Ms. Jackson or her counsel without risking serious harm to its business," says a declaration from an AEG lawyer.

At stake is potentially hundreds of millions of dollars from the King of Pop's estate, including record royalties – Jackson suddenly became one of the world's hottest selling artists after his death – as well as money from DVDs, books and his share of the Beatles catalogue.

Katherine Jackson, who is the temporary guardian of Michael's three children, says she wants the documents in time for an Aug. 3 hearing.

Her son died last month, but the body has still not been laid to rest as the family tries to come to an agreement on where to put him.

Despite all of the press hype and the leaked media stories, I still will reserve some judgment on Michael Jackson's death until the actual toxicology report is released. As for Dr. Conrad Murray, I believe he is being made a scapegoat for Michael's death. He may have administered the lethal dose of medicine which killed MJ, but Micheal set himself on this very deadly path years ago. He had a history of addiction to painkillers, anti-depressants, and sleep medication, and his family had tried an intervention to stop his apparent drug use. A lot of commentary has been made about the drug Michael was given to resolve his insomnia issues, and how it isn't usually administered outside of a hospital setting, but then again we aren't talking about your typical patient. If Michael had wanted a heart transplant at his house, he probably could have gotten a surgeon to do that. Nevertheless, people were stunned senseless at his untimely demise, and the LAPD and LA County District Attorney's office are probably under enormous pressure to charge anybody for his death, even if it was accidental, because he was such a huge icon.

Plus we don't know as of yet whether Michael had any other drugs in his system at the time of his death. If it turns out that Michael had Xanax, Vicodin, Demerol, or any other powerful drug in his system, then the drug interaction with the anesthesia drug was enough to have killed him. And going back to Dr. Murray, he may have had a prior relationship with Michael, but he was being paid by the company sponsoring his London concerts, so there was enormous pressure to keep Michael ready for those shows in the first place. If Michael hadn't been in such huge financial debt in the first place, he probably wouldn't have done the concerts in the first place, and he wouldn't have needed all of those medications.

Totally agree. As fans we always took offence to the press' sensationalistic claims during Michael's life,, and in his death these haven't stopped. However with his passing some fans have turned into Michael's own worst enemy by over reacting until the FACTS are in.

Rumour will continue to swirl while people try to find reason. Until something official is released it is all purely speculation.

^ if he didn't get while alive then no use giving it to him after he's dead.


i hate that posthumous BS. it's so fake. like when they wait till an actor dies to give them an Oscar. Celebrity welfare.


Just wait you're gonna see him get a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammys, which they would've NEVER gave to him when he was breathing. rolleyes


Well surely the GRAMMY LIVING LEGEND AWARD given to him in 1993 was paying respect. Also lifetime achievement awards are usually given to someone at the end of a career (and often posthumous). Michael had work still to come out so getting such an award would have been premature.

Then why did a healthy 52-year-old Aretha Franklin get hers in 1994 then? Or a 45-year-old Stevie Wonder in 1996 (the same year Marvin got one)?

Lord Jesus... I remember seeing some "negative" of MJ and one of the 3T members and some fans threw shade at that particular photo, the one where MJ is with one of his nephews who had apparently stripped down to his underwear with his shirt half off. confused


Yes !

This is the one..



confused

But MJ left them as secondary beneficiries in his trust, meaning if Miss Katherine dies, they can start gettin money.


eek I see pub's.
Michael looks uncomfortable. I don't think the shot was his idea.

The GRAMMY Living Legend Award is a special Grammy Award, awarded on special occasions, not necessarily every year. This is a Special Merit Award, and it is presented by the Recording Academy to individuals or groups for ongoing contributions and influence in the recording field. It has only been awarded fifteen times since it was first presented in 1990.

The Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award is awarded by the Recording Academy to "performers who, during their lifetimes, have made creative contributions of outstanding artistic significance to the field of recording" [1]. This award is distinct from the Grammy Hall of Fame Award, which honors specific recordings rather than individuals, and the Grammy Trustees Award, which honors non-performers.


Yes Timmy you are correct, two separate awards. I think the Grammy board probably thought MJ still have more work to give.

No, the dread-headed (or was dread-headed) one was the eldest son (b. 1973), his brother beside him was born in 1975 and TJ was born in '78.
