Corey Feldman -- who was friends with Michael Jackson when he was a child -- just released the following statement on his website.
"I come to you today with great sadness, acknowledging the loss of the greatest entertainer in the history of mankind. For me he was more than that, he was my idol, he was a role model, he was someone to cry to when my childhood was unbearable, he was a brother, he was a dear friend."

Michael Jackson has feebly signed legal papers asking a judge to throw out a judgment against him and in favor of his former publicist Raymone Bain.
Bain sued Jackson for $44 million, claiming he stiffed her for publicity and management services. She got a default judgment in the case after Jackson failed to answer her complaint.
Now Jackson wants the default set aside, on grounds he was never served with legal papers.
Bain has filed legal papers claiming she tried in vain to serve Jackson. According to the docs, one time a process server went to the gate of Jackson's home but a security guard said, "Get the f**k out of here!"
Jackson signed a declaration explaining he wasn't served nor was he aware of the lawsuit.
Michael, you should be reading TMZ more ... we've been all over this one.

So for the last few months we've been catching Michael Jackson leaving a medical building in Beverly Hills. Now we know who Jackson has been seeing.
Jackson has been going to the office of Dr. Arnie Klein -- dermatologist to the stars -- and he's been going there several times a week lately. Klein and M.J. have a long history together. Klein has treated Jackson's vitiligo -- a pigmentation disorder.
In 1993, when Jackson was under criminal investigation the first time for alleged child molestation, cops searched Klein's office and seized medical records after news reports suggested Klein may have bleached Jackson's genitals so Jacko's accuser wouldn't be able to ID the singer's private parts. The claim was never proven.
By the way, in the 90's Klein had a nurse by the name of Debbie Rowe. She married Jacko and had two of his kids via artificial insemination. They later divorced.

Not only is he defying medical science, but Michael Jackson claims he can still defy gravity too!
On his way out of another medical building in Beverly Hills yesterday, we asked Jacko if he could pull off his signature Moonwalk -- Jackson responded, "Why wouldn't I be able to!?"
He makes a good point -- why wouldn't a man who's frequented more medical offices than dance studios in the last 5 years be able to pull off a physical stunt?!
Clearly ours was a stupid question.

We've learned there was a secret meeting yesterday at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where Michael Jackson made it clear -- he will not perform with Janet and the Jackson 5; and the dude who organized the concert tour tells us he will sue them.
As we first reported, Jacko's manager signed a deal on behalf of M.J. to perform with his sis and bros at Cowboy Stadium in Arlington, Texas in 2010. Part of the deal -- that he not sign any other concert deal for 18 months. But then Jacko went and signed up for his London concerts which are scheduled to begin in July.
The company that organized the family concert --- AllGood Entertainment -- got Michael, daddy Joe Jackson and several others in a room yesterday at the Bev Hills Hotel. Joe tried to convince Michael that the family tour should go on, but Michael wouldn't budge because it would have aired on pay-per-view and M.J. said he doesn't like pay-per-view! The meeting was heated and no one agreed to anything.
Patrick Allocco of AllGood Entertainment tells us he's going to sue Jackson and his family next week.
Stay tuned.
UPDATE: Patrick Allocco has resubmitted his offer for MJ to perform with the Jackson 5 and Janet without the pay-per-view. For this one night event, MJ would be paid $3million, Janet $1mil, and the brothers would get $500,000 to split.
Allocco is making this his last and final offer. If Jacko refuses, AllGood Entertainment will proceed with suing him and his family.

Michael Jackson's hailed London concerts may never happen -- if a new bunch of lawyers get their way.
We've learned AllGood Entertainment -- the company that was putting together a series of concerts with Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, and their brothers -- has fired off a cease and desist letter to the people organizing Jacko's London concerts, demanding that the show not go on.
Here's what went down. In late 2008, Jackson's manager -- Frank Dileo -- signed a deal promising that M.J. would appear with his family on tour. Part of the deal -- Jackson was prohibited from making another concert deal for 18 months. But lawyers for the family tour claim after their deal was signed, Jackson went and signed up for his London concerts -- allegedly a violation of the 18-month blackout clause.
Lawyers for the family tour now want to block the London concerts. As for Jacko's defense ... we're told his position is that he never signed his name on the family tour deal. But we know his manager signed, and in the law an agent can often sign for the client.
So will the London show go on?
Stay tuned

Michael Jackson's peeps may have been involved in a hit-and-run with an ambulance yesterday in Beverly Hills -- no one is confirming, but all the facts seem to point towards Team Jacko.
According to a KNBC report, Jacko's driver may have sideswiped an ambulance and broke off the vehicle's mirror on the way to pick up the pop star at Ceders-Sinai Medical Center. The ambulance driver tells NBC he saw the man driving the black SUV hop out of the car with an umbrella, walk to the hospital doors and meet Jackson. The ambulance driver says he saw Jacko get in the car and drive off.
The Beverly Hills PD acknowleged there was a hit-and-run accident around 3:20 pm, but only described the suspect's vehicle as "a dark colored SUV" that was "being followed by a group of paparazzi at the time of the collision .... the suspect is unknown at this time."
TMZ shot footage of Jacko leaving the hospital with a driver, who has an umbrella, entering a black SUV. From the hospital, Jacko went on an antique shopping spree.
There were no reported injuries from the crash. The incident is currently under investigation by the Beverly Hills PD.

If you had your eye on the gloves from "Edward Scissorhands" or the actual gates of Neverland Ranch, we have some disappointing news for you -- the auction of Michael Jackson's crazy stuff ain't happening.
As part of a settlement between Jackson's production company and Julien's Auction House, Jackson gets to keep the nearly 2,000 items that were to be auctioned off beginning next week.
Terms of the settlement are confidential, but the attorney for the auction house tells us "everyone is happy."
The auction house had previously said they spent $2 million organizing the sale and it was guessing the items could have fetched $12 million.

Is it wrong to buy gigantic metal gates from a very creepy man? Apparently not, according to the one person who bid at least $10,000 to buy the gates from Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch via the singer's online auction.
Some of the items also up for grabs: A gigantic, five-foot tall statue of Geppetto holding Pinnochio, the claws from Edward Scissorhands and even an autographed basketball from Michael Jordan.
It's nice to know Jacko is still sticking to his guns by refusing to represent himself as a normal human being who doesn't own scary things.

Britney's Circus tour isn't due in town 'til next week -- but everyone on Bedford was treated to an insane sideshow yesterday when reassembled pop star Michael Jackson rolled through Beverly Hills.
It was ri-damn-diculous and MJ never even left his ride.

A week after allegedly making a coherent and unmasked appearance in London to announce his new tour, Michael Jackson gathered up his masked, human parts and returned to his home away from home on Thursday -- a Beverly Hills medical center.
Let us pray.

Judging from the absolute clusterf**k that went down outside the Drury Lane Theatre tonight in London, one thing is for sure -- Jacko's fans are just as crazy as he is.

With baby Blanket no longer a baby, Michael Jackson dangled his gorgeous face and waved his human hand from the window of his London hotel on Thursday. "Hello, my pretties."
Make me wanna scream!
