Some felt badly that Farrah would not get attention, but I bet right about now it was a relief to her family and loved ones to minimize the circus that normally surrounds big celebrities.

Pmay will be happy to know that along with the 2002 Will, MJ did establish a trust for his children.

Pmay is thrilled to hear this news!!!! Now I cant wait to hear what it says If I was younger with more energy I would love to drive up to the Ranch and be part of his celebration of life. I think they should turn NR into a Graceland type place.

I'm sad for the world's loss. But I somehow feel he's up there singing and dancing. Free of his pain and the demons in his life.

MJ's probably hanging out with Elvis, doing heavenly karaoke together, and reassuring him that Lisa Marie is doing great.

The will was released this morning, saying that MJ wanted his mom to raise his kids; and to control his estate. If his mom was unable, he wanted Diana Ross to raise his children. (Sorry, Pamy, I really do know how to spell your name! lol) The will also calls for his former lawyer to be the executor. I also think it would be wonderful if Neverland was turned into a Graceland kind of place; altho its location doesn't make it the greatest access.

Also, doesn't someone else own the Neverland Ranch? I thought he sold it.

Did anyone else see Griffin O'Neal whining to the press because Ryan wouldn't let him come to the funeral? Hasn't Griffin already caused Ryan enough trouble for a lifetime?

Ginger, the first thing I thought was "Diana Ross?!" But yeah she did do OK with her kids. She's kinda getting up there now, though, to be raising kids that age. Of course so is Mrs Jackson....

MJ cannot be buried at Neverland. It is illegal. If he was cremated, his ashes could be spread. He will be displayed in a glass casket on Friday for people to see. But he cannot be buried there.

Title of NeverLand was transferred in 2008 to an LLC of which Jackson was one of the partners, to stop foreclosure/auction; so Jackson was still part owner of NeverLand.

According to ABC news, someone "familiar" with the situation said there will be no services at Neverland.

They may hold on to Neverland for now.. land prices are SO depressed in that area. And of course Neverland was stripped of the carnival rides and the zoo, but I guess he stopped sale of the rides so perhaps they could return. It really isn't in the best location, guess the road is narrow and out of the way and the neighbors really do NOT want any sort of traffic thrown into the mix. But I bet that area could use the tax revenue and for tourists, there could be bus tours from the LA area. (or Santa Barbara). There are wineries in the area, Solvang, Buelleton (split pea soup). Easy to add to an up the coast or down the coast type trip.. but STILL, not exactly central in terms of transportation or airports. Seems like they have to get the financial act way more together, first. They could just as easily put a facility together in Vegas, for instance, or Los Angeles. But other items in his portfolio.. the Sony catalong not only includes Beatles and other work but Lady Gaga.. and while I don't at all get why she is succeeding, she is, so that's a plus. I guess one fly in the ointment for Katherine is past performance since she and Joe went through a bankruptcy to the tune of $24 million. Diana has done a good job with her children, so that is an interesting thought. I feel better knowing that Joe mostly is in Vegbas and Katherine lives at the family compound in Encino, but still would hope he is not allowed to have a hand (literally and figuratively) in raising them, though he claims Katherine was the spanker between them..

I enjoyed Karl Malden. On a slightly positive note, he did enjoy a long life. So how does this fit into the "three's" theory?
