Michael Jackson might have been the "most creative" and "best dressed" ... but he wasn't the "most likely to succeed" -- at least according to his high school classmates.

An auction of MJ memorabilia took place yesterday in L.A., including his 1976 high school yearbook from Cal Prep in Encino, CA. In the yearbook, Michael was voted pretty much what everyone would have expected -- best dressed, most creative, shyest -- but NOT most likely to succeed.
That honor was reserved for one Scott Ashdown -- who's probably a perfectly nice person, but we've never heard of him.
Even though success is relative and money isn't everything -- can we get a recount for MJ?

Michael Jackson's family will be rolling to his funeral tonight in style -- because they've got themselves a fleet of Rolls Royce Phantoms for the event.

United Royal Coach confirms they'll be picking up immediate family members at the Jackson Encino compound this afternoon -- and will deliver 'em to Forest Lawn in five stretch Phantoms. We're told Katherine and Joe will ride in the first vehicle.
Since the family members are regular customers, they even got 'em at a reduced rate, which no doubt helped lower the already "extraordinary" burial costs.

Photogs tracked down a guy from Mickey Fine pharmacy -- the pharmacy that sued MJ in 2007 over a $100,000 bill -- who says he made deliveries to the Jackson family's Encino home, where Michael frequently visited.

The guy said he didn't know if the deliveries went to Michael because different names were often used on the packages.
