The plan to bury Michael Jackson at Neverland Ranch has fizzled, as throngs of fans who descended on the estate near Santa Barbara with the hope of attending a public viewing have been thwarted. TMZ.com reports it won’t take place until next week, but will still be in the Los Angeles area. Additionally, Jackson’s newly unveiled will says his mother Katherine Jackson should raise his children with longtime friend Diana Ross named has her successor guardian, should something happen to Katherine.

TMZ.com is also confirming that yes indeed, Michael’s body had dozens of injection sites all over it. Propofol – a powerful anesthesia – was found at his home after he died and various medical experts say it is used to knock people out before surgery and is administered through an IV, but is reckless to use at home. No word on how it got in his hands.

A mountain of unreleased recordings was discovered in Michael Jackson’s vault after he died – music that will undoubtedly be packaged and repackaged for his fans (and profit!). The material includes unused tracks from studio sessions from some of his best albums, as well as recently recorded songs he created with singer/producer Akon and Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am. “There are dozens and dozens of songs that did not end up on his albums,” former Sony Music chairman and CEO Tommy Mattola noted. “People will be hearing a lot of that unreleased material for the first time ever. There’s just some genius and brilliance in there.” Since the King of Pop’s death last Thursday, three of his records – “Number Ones,” “Essential Michael Jackson” and “Thriller” were the best-selling albums of the week and 2.3 million tracks have been downloaded in the U.S. alone.

Ed Hardy clothing founder Christian Audigier told TMZ.com his company is relocating its headquarters to the Holmby Hills mansion where Michael Jackson died. Audigier was a close friend of the singer’s and will be heading to the 7-bedroom compound in December. MJ was shelling out $100,000 a month for it. And you thought your rent or mortgage sucked!
