Joe Jackson will ask the California Court of Appeal to teach the Superior Court judge in the Michael Jackson estate case a thing or two .... We've learned Joe has filed legal papers setting the stage to challenge the decision throwing out his challenge to Michael's will.
Joe claims Michael's name was forged on the will ... and he wants John Branca and John McClain booted as executors.
Stay tuned ...

...is what we're going to say if this whole "challenge" he made to TMZ turns out to be complete BS.
Here's the story -- John Mayer posted a challenge on his Twitter page, offering to give $25,000 to the charity of TMZ's choice (an animal charity) if we could produce his mug shot.
We've searched all over the place, and we can't find squat. We've even followed up on a lead that the shot was hidden somewhere in the video game Grand Theft Auto IV. Still, nothing.
So, we turn to you -- the public. If you've ever seen a John Mayer mug shot anywhere in your life -- tell us where the damn thing is.
A puppy's life depends on it...

This might be the greatest piece of video we have ever shot! WATCH THIS!
"The Diesel" is looking to run right over David Beckham -- 'cause last night Shaquille O'Neal was trash talking like crazy, calling out the "scared" Galaxy star for refusing to accept his one-on-one soccer challenge.
Quick recap: Shaq threw down the gauntlet on Becks, via Twitter, saying "u will never score a goal on me, I challenge you lil man." David responded by deflecting attention, telling press "I don't see him calling Kobe out ... I think Kobe could score against him."
But last night at the Sherman Oaks Galleria, Shaq took the smack talk to another level -- saying to Beckham, "There's no way you'd score on me ... how many goals did you score for the Galaxy?"
Shaq didn't just entertain our photog, dude shook hands and posed with every single fan who approached him ... and for the record, we've never seen Beckham do that.

David Beckham is finally responding to Shaquille O'Neal's soccer challenge -- and he thinks Shaq should pick on someone a little bit closer to his enormous size.
Shaq posted a challenge to Beckham on his Twitter recently that said, "Dear david beckham, I kno u heard about my shaq vs show, anyway u will never score a goal on me, I challenge you lil man."
But when asked about it last night, Beckham said, "I don't see him calling Kobe out ... I think Kobe could score against him."
Don't dredge up the past, Becks -- Shaq and Kobe are friends now.

Sources connected to Michael Jackson's family tell us some family members as well as lawyers for the estate are ticked off at some legal eagles who may be trying to start a legal war.
Attorneys Londell McMillan and Burt Levitch do not represent Michael's estate -- they represent Katherine Jackson personally. They filed legal papers Friday asking a judge to rule if Katherine can object to the appointment of the executors named in Michael's will and still collect the money her son left her.
Here's the issue. There's a "no contest" clause in the will, meaning anyone who files objections to the will automatically gets no money. McMillan and Levitch want to know if the "no contest" clause would apply if Katherine only objects to the executors Michael chose.
Here's what's bugging some family members and the lawyers representing the estate ... the will gives Katherine 40% of Michael's estate, so she can't be upset about that. The will names Katherine guardian for the children .. again, that's what she wants. And the named executors -- John Branca and John McClain -- are Michael's longtime, trusted advisors and friends.
So why would Katherine object to the will or the executors? A lot of people who are in the middle of it all feel Katherine is being manipulated and doesn't really understand the implications of mounting a legal challenge.
So why are McMillan and Levitch kicking up dust?
Stay tuned...
