50. MJ’s dermatologist admits to donating sperm.
More Details…

Dr. Arnold Klein says that he did donate to a sperm bank but he doesn’t know if his sperm was used to father Paris and Prince.
He told 'Larry King Live': "I once donated sperm but it was absolutely not to him."
When pressed further about the matter, he replied: "I'm not going to answer it the way you want me to answer it because... I will say no if that's what you want to hear.
"What I will tell you is I think what's most important about this whole thing, about who the father is... is who the children want their father to be.
"I think, to the best of my knowledge, I'm not the father."
Source
The biological father (whoever it is) isn’t necessarily important. Michael was their father. He took care of him and if you believe Paris’ sentiment at the memorial, he was a great father. What’s the point of pressing it any further unless the children themselves want to know.

51. Michael’s body was transported through an underground tunnel.
More Details…
After the memorial service on Tuesday, no one seemed to see where the casket carrying Michael’s body went. Well word is that he was taken through an underground tunnel connecting the Staples Center and the Nokia Theater. Once there security guards loaded the coffin into a van that was taken to an undisclosed mortuary. Source
I was personally surprised that his body was at the memorial at all given security issues. So I can see wanting to take extra ‘cloak and daggar’ precautions to make sure he was removed from the Staples Center without any issues.

52. Detectives are investigating if there was foul play involved in Michael’s death.
More Details…
“Based on those we’ll have an idea of what we’re dealing with,” Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton said Thursday. “Are we dealing with homicide? Are we dealing with an accidental overdose? What are we dealing with?”
“The next move really is his (the coroner’s),” Bratton said. “We’re not marking time waiting for his report.” Source

53. Joe Jackson thinks MJ’s kids have talent.
More Details…

Joe Jackson told ABC that he and his wife, Katherine, should have custody of Michael’s three children. “They’ll grow up to be strong Jacksons,” he said.
He said Michael’s daughter, Paris, was taking the death hard and was crying whenever Michael’s name is mentioned. He said that she might have a future in the entertainment business along with the youngest son, nicknamed Blanket, who “can really dance.” Source
Lord, forgive me for saying this but someone needs to keep this man away from those children. He’s done enough damage with his own kids.

54. Asian Developers to recreate Neverland.
More Details…

Neverland will be rebuilt on an island off the coast of Shanghai, China in MJ’s honor.
The developers will spend $15 million and hope to have the project done in ’10.
One investor, Qiu Xuefan, says, "We want to pay tribute to Michael Jackson and, at the same time, offer the Chinese people an outlet for expressing their love toward him." Source
This should be interesting…

55. Custody hearing postponed for Jackson children.
More Details…
The hearing will be postponed while Debbie Rowe and Katherine Jackson try to come to a peaceful agreement over the children’s future.
Katherine has temporary custody over Prince, Paris and Blanket. But Debbie wants custody over her two children with Michael, Prince and Paris.
The hearing, scheduled for June 13th has been pused to July 20th in hopes the two women will be able to come to an agreement on their own.
A statement from the L.A. courthouse says, "(The) guardianship hearing originally scheduled for Monday, July 13, 2009 will be continued to July 20, 2009.
"All prior orders remain in full force and effect, with Katherine Jackson as temporary guardian of the children." According to her lawyer, Eric George, Rowe has "not reached a final decision concerning the pending custody proceedings". Source
Although, to my knowledge, Debbie has had contact with her children over the years, I think that someone in the Jackson clan should care for them as this was the only family they really knew.

56. Inside the private viewing.
More Details…
Mj’s cousin, David Fossett, told People that the Jackson family and relitives gatherd at Forrest Lawn the night before the public memorial for a private viewing.
"He looked like himself. He looked like he just was laying there sleeping. He looked peaceful. It was a somber mood. Even though he's this big entertainer, he's still our family," he said.
There were supposedly about 70 family members gathered for the open-casket viewing. The service is being described as a Jehovah’s Witness ceremony. Source
I’m almost positive that Michael disassociated himself a long time ago from the Jehovah’s Witnesses. So knowing what I know about the religion I highly doubt the ceremony was presided over by anyone in the religion.
On another note, I’m glad the family got to say their goodbyes in a private setting.

57. Latoya says Michael was murdered.
More Details…

“I believe Michael was murdered," she said. "I felt that from the start. Not just one person was involved, rather it was a conspiracy of people. He was surrounded by a bad circle. Michael was a very meek, quiet, loving person. People took advantage of that. People fought to be close to him, people who werent always on his side."
"They (his entourage) got him hooked on drugs," she said. "He was pure and clean and then drugs came back into his system. I think it shocked his system so much it killed him.""He had needle marks on his neck and on his arms and more about those will emerge in the next few weeks," she said. " I cannot discuss that any further as I may jeopardise the investigation. I can, however, say that I have not changed my mind about my feeling that Michael was murdered."She added: "It will all come out. You will be shocked."She also feels his upcoming tour was straining him. "Its impossible even for a healthy person to do that many shows," she said. "Michael was fragile. He always wanted to believe the best of people. But he was meek. In the last few months, he became isolated. I believe the staff were given strict instructions that if any of the family called, not to tell him. And if any of the family came by, not to let them in.""I am going to get down to the bottom of this," she said. "I am not going to stop until I find out who is responsible. Why did they keep the family away? Its not about money. I want justice for Michael. I wont rest until I find out what -- and who -- killed my brother."She also talked about whether or not Debbie is the mother of Michael’s children. "These are not Debbies kids," she said. "They dont even know shes their mother. Like everyone else in his life, she was motivated by money. She has always said shes not their mother. My understanding is that she will now go after the kids. I know a few things about Debbie, and I will prevent that from happening.""Im doing what I can to find out how he died. If he died of a drug overdose, then I want to find who supplied him the drugs and who first introduced him to them," she said. "Weve still not had a chance to speak to Dr. Murray about Michaels final days. I need to know what he may have seen or heard."She added: "Michael didnt have to die. We are all mourning his loss, more than anyone can ever know. But we are also determined to get to the bottom of what happened to him." Source
Shhhh Latoya. Let the evidence speak for itself and seal your lips.
