Michael Jackson was known to be very generous with his fans -- but now some of the people who received gifts from the King of Pop want to turn a profit off his generosity.
A scarf worn by Jackson, a Mercedes he gave to his aunt, and the white glove he wore when he unveiled the Moonwalk in 1983 will all go up for bidding at a NY-based Julien's Auctions event on November 21.
Roughly 80 items on the block are related to Michael, but only 34 of them were originally gifts from Michael to friends and fans.
Other items up for bidding include original handwritten lyrics to "Beat It," and the mold for Michael's "Thriller" fangs.

Good news for the Slovenes -- a judge has cleared the way for them to feast their eyes on Michael Jackson's autobiography, Moonwalk.
Michael's estate had asked the court for permission to publish the book in various countries throughout the world -- and now, they got their wish.
In court docs, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, the judge approved publication of the book in the following countries -- Sweden, Norway, Italy, Spain, Japan and of course, Slovenia.
Congrats Slovenes -- just don't spoil the ending.

The court in the Michael Jackson probate case just authorized the special administrators to enter into proposed book publishing agreements.
The deal on the table involves a reprint of Jackson's autobiography, "Moonwalk," with Shaye Arehart Books for U.S. and Canadian publishing rights, Michel Lafon for publishing rights in France, Heyne for publishing rights in Germany, and Heinemann for publishing rights in the United Kingdom.
UPDATE: 2:44 PM PT: How's this for brutal honesty? The documents state, "The Special Administrators believe that it is in the best interest of the Estate for all book publishing agreements to be entered as soon as possible, as sales of the book and profits for the estate will be maximized the sooner the book is released due to the notoriety surrounding Michael Jackson's unexpected death and the resulting heightened demand for such products."
Story developing...

Our guy was convinced he was talking to the original moon walker, Neil Armstrong (upper left), this weekend in D.C. -- only problem, he had the wrong astronaut.
By random coincidence though, this guy's actually been to the moon too -- he's Apollo 16 passenger Charlie Duke.

We last got Michael Jackson on the 9th of June in Beverly Hills -- he was in good spirits, telling our photog there's no reason he wouldn't still be able to moonwalk.

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.
