The upcoming Michael Jackson auction will offer over 2,000 items of the strange and mundane from the gloved one’s Neverland Ranch. It will include such items as his gaudy Rolls Royce stretch limo, rhinestone-encrusted socks, Peter Pan stuff, and even a 1995 oil portrait of Jackson dressed as Elizabethan era royalty and holding a King’s crown.

Jackson even owns the metal hand props worn by Johnny Depp in the movie “Edward Scissorhands”! No sign of the Elephant man’s remains though…

The horror show that is Michael Jackson’s skin has seriously affected the singer’s health. According to reports, Jackson is receiving antibiotics (via an IV drip) to combat a horrifying infection that has spread throughout his entire body and threatens to eat his flesh.

Billie Jean Jackson has filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles against singer Michael Jackson in which she alleges that she is the biological mother of the singer’s third child, Prince Michael Jackson II, aka Blanket.

InTouch Weekly is reporting that Michael Jackson IS gravely ill - and not just faking it to get out of appearing in court. He’s alleged to be ill with Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency and a load of other stuff.

Ian Halperin, an investigative journalist tells the magazine: “He’s had it for years but it’s gotten worse. He needs a lung transplant but may be too weak to go through with it.He also has emphysema and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, which his doctors have had a lot of trouble stopping. It’s the bleeding that is the most problematic part. It could kill him.”

What did the weird one, who fled the US after beating child sex charges and went to Bahrain to hang out while dressed in a birkha then wanted to buy an Irish castle so he could set up a theme park featuring magical drunken little leprechauns, agree to do to save his beloved Neverland ranch? TMZ is theorizing that the guy who bailed out Neverland from the auction block did so with the intent of putting Michael Jackson on the Sin City stage.

Selling millions of albums, achieving success as one of the greatest Motown musical groups of all time, and even being a sibling to the King of Pop himself, hasn’t spared the brothers of the Jackson 5 from plunging to the depths of near poverty.

According to a story in the New York Post, “…one brother is stocking groceries, another repairing cars and others living at home with mom while hoping for sister Janet’s next handout.”

Troubled pop star Michael Jackson is close to losing his fabled Neverland Ranch this month because he failed to make mortgage payments on it, and now it’s been revealed his parents’ and siblings’ Encino home is also in jeopardy.

According to gossip columnist Janet Charlton, “the family compound has narrowly avoided foreclosure several times before,” and mortgage payments were made “at the LAST minute” this time as well.

The sprawling 2,800-acre compound known as Neverland, which represented the world of Michael Jackson during his Peter Pan fantasy year, is due to hit the auction block on March 19. The grounds include zoo cages, a miniature steam train and a ferris wheel. Jackson wants it back but no one will give him the $25 million he needs to pay off loans made against the property.
