Jackson Investigation Mystery Date

Big clue in the Michael Jackson investigation -- the LAPD detective leading the probe indicated January 18, 2010 may be a significant date.

MIchael Jackson

Detective Orlando Martinez
asked a Las Vegas judge this AM to keep search warrant documents related to Applied Pharmacy secret until January 18. Law enforcement sources told us previously cops didn't want the warrant made public until the investigation was completed.

As we first reported, the LAPD believes Applied Pharmacy supplied Dr. Conrad Murray with the Propofol that ultimately killed Michael Jackson. They are on the hunt to make sure other pharmacies didn't supply Propofol.

La Toya Jackson: Click to watch
We got La Toya Jackson outside of Katsuya last night where she told us, "We're not seeing it, my mother, we're not seeing it."

As TMZ previously reported, 60 tickets were offered to the family, but Katherine insists no one ever called her about getting seats. We're also told Michael's three kids really want to see the flick.

Irish Boy Bander Dies Suddenly in Spain

Stephen GatelyStephen Gately, part of the Irish boy band Boyzone, was found dead while on vacation in Spain. He was 33.

The circumstances of his death are still unclear -- the band released a statement that simply said he "tragically died."

Boyzone was one of the biggest acts in Ireland in the 1990s. The band had announced a comeback tour last year.

Gately became something of a gay icon in the U.K. after he announced he was gay 10 years ago. He married his partner Andrew Cowles (Elton John introduced them) in a civil union in 2006.

DJ AM's Estate: We Made a Mistake...

DJ AMPaper work is always a bitch -- and now DJ AM's estate is correcting a minor error that accidentally made the guy out to be one hell of a real estate tycoon!

It's all over papers filed in L.A. County Superior Court last month, which stated AM's real estate property generated $3.5 million PER YEAR.

But the estate now claims they goofed a little bit -- and should've stated that the total value of his real estate property was $3.5 mil.

The estate also noted that AM had a serious debt -- $2.9 million.

But on top of his real estate, AM had another $400,000 in "personal property." So after all of the math, the value of AM's estate stands at a cool $1,000,000.

Jaclyn Smith - Not Dead. Not Injured. Not Amused

Jaclyn Smith Jaclyn Smith is not dead -- and to prove it, she's writing on her Twitter page.

There are several reports popping up all over the place claiming the "Charlie's Angel" was shot in her home in Honduras -- but she's not even in Honduras ... so, by process of elimination ... we have concluded she could not have been shot there.

Plus, her publicist Jay Schwartz just told us this, "She is alive and well in Los Angeles ... I spoke to her this morning."

Also, Jaclyn posted the following message on her Twitter page -- Jaclyn is safe and home with her family. She is not in Honduras. It is a lie. >cc

We hear the expensive whips were meant to be wedding presents for Michael's three children someday -- but none of the Rolls we spotted looked as if they'd been driven recently.

All the items removed from Jackson's home were moved to an L.A. storage facility -- some will be used for an upcoming memorabilia tour.
