Here's the blow-by-blow inside the Michael Jackson estate hearing. KEEP REFRESHING for the latest.
UPDATE: Court is adjourned for the day. They'll be back again on August 24.
UPDATE: The judge has sealed courtroom temporarily.
UPDATE: The lawyers just said Bravado has a number of buyers interested in merchandising Jackson memorabilia but if they don't get the green light quickly the buyers could lose interest within a week.
UPDATE: This is really important. The judge just appointed a guardian ad litem for the 3 Jackson kids. That means they will have independent representation in court proceedings. The notion -- that the interests of the kids may not completely square with the interests of Katherine Jackson or the estate. It's not unusual this happened, but it's significant.
UPDATE: An attorney from AEG has assured the judge none of the video material in question has to do with the children.
UPDATE: Billie Jean just raised her hand like she wants to talk. This isn't Ms. Marcus' fifth period English class.
UPDATE: AEG is proposing a Michael Jackson memorabilia tour that would visit three cities.
UPDATE: The judge has taken the bench -- and Billie Jean is back with more documents.

Guardian for the children. Does this mean they will look out for their total interest or just in negotiations with estate and Katherine
QUESTION: Is it possible Debbie Rowe is only a surrpogate? She goesn't look like the kids -- and Michael would have chosen a more attractive mother -- as he did with Mark Lester (likely sperm donor)
this "woman" claims she is the mother.
but what about debbie rowe didnt they tape her while she was pregnant whos kids sre those.
Crazyyy.
has tom cruise said anyhting.
are they still talking about custody of the children?
Why was the courtroom sealed temporary? Why the heck will these women claim to be MJ kids-- are they in for the money?
Why did they seal the court room? Why is the judge allowing Billie Jean and Claire? Aren't they just nuts? What standing do the have?
WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH ALL THESE PEOPLE SAYING THAY ARE THE KIDS MOTHERS
AND DO THEY HAVE ANY PAST TIES WITH THE JACKSON FAMILY ??
QUESTION: If Katherine Jackson inherited 40% of Michael's estate, and she is still legally married to Joe Jackson, is that money considered Community Property? Is there any way Joe can get his hands on the $$ -- I mean, other than making Katherine give it to him...
Who are the children's lawyer?
Why the judge sealed the courtroom?
any idea who will be the appointed guardian? Is it true as others are reporting that Michael has been buried at Forest lawn?
I would like to know if Michael Jacksons grave with be accesible for the public and where will it be at?
Why doesn't the Jackson family sue the tabloids for defamation of character for saying Jackson was chemically castrated? and for all the other awful things they say.
Have you heard/can you confirm any negotiations/talks regarding a "LasVegas" Neverland? Ent Tonight is reporting that Michael has been buried at Forrest Lawn Cem- is this confirmed/can fans pay respects?
