It was bound to happen sooner or later…
Michael Jackson was married and his wife is demanding all of his property — this is according to a woman who just filed a petition in L.A. County Superior Court.
Nona Paris Lola Ankhesenamun Jackson, who lives in London, asks
“that all my husband’s properties, monies and assets must be transferred to me immediately and my husband’s body must be returned to the coroner’s body [sic] or the mortuary immediately.”
Of course, there is no evidence this woman had any relationship whatsoever to Michael Jackson. She’s had an active court case since December of last year, claiming she was married to the singer.
Nona also claims all of Michael’s children are hers and that she didn’t authorize them to live with Katherine Jackson.
She now claims, “Though he died to this earth he lives with my father [Satan the Devil] Khalid Lucifer.”
The doc says “For any questions, I can be contacted at [email address removed] or leave my children alone.”
First they sell t-shirts and charge admittance to Jackson’s funeral, now this.

The long time lover and friend of the late Farrah Fawcett revealed that his estranged son, Griffin O’Neal, was turned away from the funeral of the iconic beauty on Tuesday.
Even though Griffin drove 300 miles to pay his respects, Ryan O’Neal specifically requested his son be banned from the funeral.
When asked about his reasoning, Ryan would only suggest that his son is a “bad guy.”
Despite his father’s intentions, Griffin believes that Farrah would be upset to know he wasn’t allowed to attend her funeral.

“She’s mad right now that I’m not in there. I just wanted to say goodbye to someone that I knew and loved for 33 years.”
Over the weekend former Playboy playmate and The Girls Next Door star Kendra Wilkinson married football player Hank Baskett.
The happy couple were married on Saturday at the Playboy mansion.
Hayden Panettiere’s new role in the upcoming movie ‘I Love You, Beth Cooper‘ will give fans a lot more to look at than they normally get from watching her cheerleader ‘Heroes’ role.
The 20-year-old actress bares all in her new film, and as she tells People, she has absolutely no problem with it while she’s got youth on her side.
“If I can’t flaunt it at 20, come on! I mean I might as well show it now.”
In the film, Panettiere (also a cheerleader in the movie) has a scene in a high school locker room, where she drops her towel.
“It didn’t bother me much. I think when the person who’s doing it gets all uncomfortable and shy, then it’s other people around who get more uncomfortable because they’re uncomfortable. I mean I was fine – everyone was really professional.”
But like nearly everyone, Panettiere willingly admits that even she has days where she’s not feeling so secure in her physique.
“The older I get, the more comfortable I get with it, but I still have my days where I don’t feel great … and I’m having my fat day where I have to put something baggy on and sweatpants. Or just with the way people perceive me. I have plenty of insecurities.”
Oh Hayden, you’re such an attention monger.

There’s four separate tribute covers available this week from Entertainment Weekly. The covers feature Michael Jackson singing at home in 1972; on the set of the “Thriller” video in 1983 (pictured above); a portrait taken in 1983; and performing in New York City on Sept. 10, 2001.
  
Entertainment Weekly columnist Stephen King writes,
“It’s worth noting that he was never convicted of anything in criminal court, and when I asked Mick—who hung out with Michael occasionally— he was emphatic in his belief that Michael Jackson was indeed innocent of the abuse allegations.
In the court of public opinion, however, he was found guilty of Weirdness in the First Degree, and ended up secluded in one haunted castle after another. Finally, he died in one.
Strange man. Lost man. And not unique in his passing. Like James Dean, Elvis Presley, Kurt Cobain, Heath Ledger, and a dozen others we could name, he just left the building far too soon. Because, man oh man, that guy could dance.”
What a nice tribute!
It’s sad that some media outlets, like OK! magazine, elect to use a cover showing a dead Michael Jackson as their tribute issue.
The magazine reportedly spent close to $500,000 to obtain their cover pic of the legendary King of Pop.

The FAA is already deflecting blame for the death of Billy Mays — claiming the legendary TV pitchman wasn’t wearing a seat belt when he took a shot to the head during a rough landing on a flight he was on yesterday.
Here’s what we know — Billy Mays was aboard US Airways Flight 1241 flying from Philadelphia, which landed roughly when the front tire blew out as it touched down. After the flight, Billy told FOX 13 in Tampa that something struck him in the head — here’s Billy’s actual quote:
“All of a sudden as we hit you know it was just the hardest hit, all the things from the ceiling started dropping. It hit me on the head, but I got a hard head.”
The FAA was contacted for comment, and a spokesperson said,
“The passenger needs to wear a seat belt during landing and he didn’t.”
A spokesperson for US Airways did not want to comment until more information comes to light.
Billy posted about it last on his Twitter,
“Just had a close call landing in Tampa. The tires blew out upon landing. Stuck in the plane on the runway. You can always count on US Air.”
I call BS… the flight attendants always check to make sure everyone has their seat belt on. Do you think that he had it on… then unlatched it just before landing?

Katherine Jackson filed a petition Monday asking the court to appoint her as guardian of Michael Jackson’s three children.
According to TMZ, the petition states the kids have “no relationship with their biological mother,” Debbie Rowe.
She is also petitioning to take over the children’s estate. Its value is listed as “unknown” in the filing.
The filings do not state whether Michael left a will.
A hearing has been set for Aug 3.
Michael has two children with ex Rowe –Prince, 12, and Paris, 11. His third child, Prince Michael II, 7, was born to a surrogate (the mother’s identity was never revealed). The court filings Monday list her whereabouts as “unknown.”
Farrah Fawcett’s fellow Angels paid tribute yesterday by speaking about her passing.
Kate Jackson:
“I will miss Farrah every day. She was a selfless person who loved her family and friends with all her heart, and what a big heart it was. Farrah showed immense courage and grace throughout her illness and was an inspiration to those around her. When I think of Farrah, I will remember her kindness, her cutting, dry wit and, of course, her beautiful smile.”
Jaclyn Smith:
“Farrah had courage. she had strength, and she had faith. And now she has peace as she rests with the real angels.”
Cheryl Ladd:
“She was incredibly brave, and God will be welcoming her with open arms.”
Finally, from Charlie:
“Though I did not know her well, Farrah left an indelible mark on me and the public during her one-year reign on Charlie’s Angels. She put up a gallant fight against her unforgiving disease and I send my deepest sympathy and prayers to her family and friends.”

Members of Michael Jackson’s family said the singer was given a “heavy dose of morphine” prior to his death, and family members were alarmed.
Joe Jackson recently wanted to put Michael in a rehab facility in Palmdale, California for what he considered an “addiction” to morphine and prescription drugs. A close member of Michael Jackson’s family has said Jackson received a daily injection of a synthetic narcotic similar to morphine — Demerol — and yesterday he received a shot at 11:30 AM.
Family members are saying the dosage was “too much” and that’s what caused his death.
Family members say they felt he was unable to perform for his upcoming concerts because of his drug use. Members of the upcoming said that Jackson was generally lethargic and very late for rehearsals.
There are reports Jackson OD’d yesterday on Demerol, a drug similar to morphine.
Interestingly, Jackson wrote a song called “Morphine” in 1997. One of the lyrics — “Demerol. Demerol. Oh God he’s taking Demerol.”
Interestingly, law enforcement is looking for a doctor who lived at Michael Jackson’s home — and the doctor is nowhere to be found.

Michael Jackson has suffered a heart attack and there are scant rumors (unconfirmed) that he has died.
TMZ is reporting that the fifty year old king of pop was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital.
Jackson reportedly collapsed at his home around noon today, where he was shortly rushed to emergency care while still unresponsive.
“The call came in because a person was not breathing,” says a spokesman for the Los Angeles City Fire Department.
“When the team arrived, they saw that CPR was already in progress by someone at the home. The person not breathing was transported to UCLA Medical Center and remains there.”
“He had a heart attack,” father Joe Jackson reported
They say it happens in three’s, Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and now Michael Jackson.
 The estranged daughter of Billy Bob Thornton has been indicted on several charges in the death of a 1-year-old girl she was baby sitting in central Florida.
Amanda Brumfield, 29, was booked at the Orange County Jail on Wednesday. She faces charges of first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse and aggravated manslaughter of a child.
Court records show she told investigators the infant who died in her care in October acted normally and ate bananas after she fell from a playpen and hit her head. But detectives believe Brumfield’s story is inconsistent with the girl’s injuries.
The child was her goddaughter.
An autopsy completed in March concluded that the short fall, estimated at about 28 inches in height, could not have caused the skull fracture and brain bleed that lead to the child’s death.
It was not immediately clear whether Brumfield had an attorney. A telephone message left at the jail was not returned Thursday morning.
Thornton’s publicist has said the actor hasn’t spoken to Brumfield for a number of years.
Prosecutors have not released what they think happened or given a motive.

Farrah Fawcett died at 9:28 AM today. Ryan O’Neal and Alana Stewart were at her bedside.
She was 62.
Farrah Fawcett had taken a serious turn for the worse and her loved ones reportedly gathered at her bedside Wednesday night.
A priest also was summoned to the Los Angeles hospital where the 62-year-old “Charlie’s Angels” icon - a devout Catholic - is being treated for anal cancer, the television show “Extra” reported.
Her publicist, Arnold Robinson, would not comment on the reports, saying only that “she is still being treated for her condition.”
Those keeping vigil in the intensive care unit included longtime love Ryan O’Neal, who has been with the one-time sex symbol constantly since she was hospitalized two weeks ago.
Ryan O’Neal had recently proposed to Farrah — I wish she could have made it to the wedding, this makes me really sad.

 UPDATE (James):
CNN (Farrah Fawcett, sex symbol and actress, dies):
Farrah Fawcett, the blonde-maned actress whose best-selling poster and “Charlie’s Angels” stardom made her one of the most famous faces in the world, has died. She was 62.
People (Farrah Fawcett Dies of Cancer at 62):
Farrah Fawcett, who skyrocketed to fame as one of a trio of impossibly glamorous private eyes on TV’s Charlie’s Angels, has died after a long battle with cancer. She was 62.
Fawcett died at 9:28 a.m. PST at St. John’s Heath Center in Santa Monica, Calif. She was with longtime partner Ryan O’Neal, friend Alana Stewart and her doctor Lawrence Piro. She had recently returned to St. John’s for treatment of complications from anal cancer, first diagnosed three years ago.
“She’s gone. She now belongs to the ages,” O’Neal tells PEOPLE. “She’s now with he mother and sister and her God. I loved her with all my heart. I will miss her so very, very much. She was in and out of consciousness. I talked to her all through the night. I told her how very much I loved her. She’s in a better place now.”
Like so much about Fawcett’s life – including her bumpy relationship with O’Neal – her heroic struggle to beat the disease was closely followed by her legion of fans.
“I’ve watched her this past year fight with such courage and so valiantly, but with such humor,” Fawcett’s Charlie’s Angels costar Kate Jackson told PEOPLE in November 2007.
[...]
In 1973, Fawcett married actor Lee Majors, forever known as Col. Steve Austin on TV’s The Six Million Dollar Man. Three years later, she appeared in the cult sci-fi film Logan’s Run and began her stint with costars Jackson and Jaclyn Smith on Charlie’s Angels. Well-coiffed and scantily-clad, the threesome created an instant sensation, with a weekly following of 23 million fans.
Fawcett moved on after just one season. By then, she was already a phenomenon, having donned a one-piece red bathing suit and a perfect smile for her legendary pin-up poster, which sold a still-record 12 million copies.
“I became famous almost before I had a craft,” Fawcett told The New York Times in 1986, four years after her divorce from Majors. (By then, she was already involved with Ryan O’Neal.) “I didn’t study drama at school. I was an art major. Suddenly, when I was doing Charlie’s Angels, I was getting all this fan mail, and I didn’t really know why. I don’t think anybody else did, either.
Though she left TV for what was assumed to be greener pastures – feature films – Fawcett’s initial three big-screen vehicles all crash-landed. Her first, 1978’s Somebody Killed Her Husband, was lampooned in MAD magazine under the title, Somebody Killed Her Career.
It took some serious dramatic TV roles, including that of a battered wife in 1984’s The Burning Bed (which earned her an Emmy nomination), as well as starring in small-screen biopics about pioneering photojournalist Margaret Bourke-White and ill-fated Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton, for Fawcett to bounce back.
Fawcett is only slightly younger than my parents but she was the first iconic sex symbol I was ever aware of. She and Majors were the Hollywood “it” couple of the day and “Charlie’s Angels,” while not a show that has stood up well to the test of time, nonetheless remains a pop culture icon.
Even though she remained a celebrity through the end, she’ll always be remembered for that poster. It’s amazing how tame it was compared to the images of today’s sex symbols.
