The new documents in the Michael Jackson estate case show the special administrators of the estate expect to haul in money in the "high eight figures" for merchandising and other Jackson-related stuff.
The docs mention the $5.5 million the special administrators already collected from Dr. Tohme Tohme. In addition, the administrators have collected "millions of dollars of tangible personal property throughout the country, including memorabilia and art."
The docs say the special administrators are deep in negotiations to market all things Jackson.
The docs claim the special administrators have resolved three lawsuits.

Michael Jackson bought some pretty expensive art two weeks before he died.
On June 11, Jackson purchased a picture of the Wicked Witch of the West, a painting called "The Donut Queen," and a painting called "Play Ball." The artist for all three works was Nelson De La Nuez. Jackson plunked down $13,000 for the three items, which were delivered to his home on June 15.
We're told Jackson was "obsessed" with the Wicked Witch painting.
Here's the weirdest part. Someone from AEG handled the money side of the transaction. We have the bank wire -- AEG dealt directly with the art seller.

People get bored and don't know what else to do with themselves -- except pay people to put holes in their bodies. Ow!
The celebs in this piercingly poignant gallery are no different. Some take a more subtle route with the body bling, while others seem obsessed with these clip-on accessories.

Ever pictured the gals from the "Golden Girls" dressed up in leather and whips -- or just plain naked? Of course you have. Live the fantasy -- with the new "Golden Gals Gone Wild" art show, set to open in Los Angeles on August 11.
After purchasing a Chris Zimmerman oil painting of Bea Arthur in full frontal view, Lenora Claire felt inspired to create a show where artists submitted their naughtiest versions of the "Girls." This is the most age-inappropriately sexy show since Dennis Franz bared it all on "NYPD Blue."
Allow ample time after eating, and check out the link.

Before he was a homicidal robot in "Westworld," before he was Pharaoh or King of Siam, Yul Brynner was a model. A nude model.
A full-frontal picture of the actor, taken in the 1940's for an art study, is currently up for auction on eBay. While the photo is explicit, the most surprising aspect is that Yul actually has a full head of hair. The actor, who died of smoking-related lung cancer in 1985, recorded a memorable post-mortem promo for the American Cancer Society, whose Great American Smokeout is November 16th.
The auction, because of its content, is blocked from general viewing; registered users must confirm their age before seeing Yul in all his glory.
