Michael Jackson has been popping up all over the place since his death last June. Let’s see, the King of Pop has been spotted in a tree stump, a car bonnet, even in a video filmed at his former home, Neverland. Now a couple of British simpletons claim they’ve been visited by the dearly departed “Thriller” star. Parents-to-be Dawn Kelley and William Hickman say they were shocked to discover MJ’s ‘face’ in recent ultrasound images of their unborn baby.

SMH…..

Janet Jackson says her entire family recognized her brother Michael had a drug problem, and tried to help, but she insists the King of Pop wasn’t ready to acknowledge he had a problem.

“You can’t make ‘em drink the water,” Jackson tells ABC News in an interview airing Wednesday.

“Of course (we intervened). That’s what you do. Those are the things that you do when you love someone, you can’t just let them continue on in that way and we did (try an intervention)… a few times… we weren’t very successful.” She adds, “(He) understood that it was (out of) love, because of caring, but when it’s something like that (drug addiction), people can tend to be in denial.”

Michael Jackson passed away June 25 after a powerful overdose of the prescription drug anesthetic Propofol.

The rhinestoned glove Michael Jackson wore during the world premiere of the Moonwalk will be auctioned in New York City this weekend. The King of Pop wore the bejeweled glove — made in Korea — for his 1983 performance of “Billie Jean” at the Motown 25 TV special.

The glove, which is encrusted with Swarovski crystals is expected to fetch between $40,000-$60,000 dollars in an auction at the Hard Rock Cafe in Manhattan this Saturday.

The estate for the late Michael Jackson is at war with the pop legend’s baby sister, singer Janet Jackson, over one of the songs on her newly-released Greatest Hits album, Number Ones.

According to Entertainment Tonight insiders: The song in question is called “Make Me” and features a lyric that reads, “Don’t stop till you get it up.” The source has told ET that Michael’s estate is questioning Janet’s right to use the lyric because of its similarity to his song “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough,” featured on Michael’s album Off the Wall.

Michael Jackson’s eldest son Prince Michael I inherited his father’s rare skin condition, according to the King Of Pop’s sister La Toya. The late “Thriller” icon suffered with vitiligo — a skin condition which causes depigmentation in patches of skin — and Aunt La Toya claims the singer passed the disorder down to his 12-year-old son.

“Vitiligo is on my father’s side and Prince has it, too – on his arms and chest.”

Michael Jackson might also be getting the Cirque du Soleil treatment.

Though he is gone, the King of Pop lives on in his music and the Canadian-based performance group is “heavily courting” the late singer’s estate with an “astronomical” amount of money in hopes of creating a Las Vegas-style show based on Jackson’s timeless classics.

According to a scoop from Showbiz411, Cirque producers are confident that a Jackson-inspired production would have the same success as “Love,” the Beatles-themed show, which is currently heating up the Vegas strip at the Mirage Hotel & Casino.

Cirque du Soleil is currently hard at work on a show inspired by the King of Rock n’ Roll; “Viva Elvis” is scheduled to open at the ARIA Hotel in Las Vegas next month.
