If you haven't heard ... Chancellor says he was scouting the Redmond Athletic Club last night because he was interested in buying the place -- and went to the building with friends to check it out.

Problem was ... the gym was not open and staffers inside called police because they were concerned.

Kam tweeted, "They told the cops I was trying to rob the place because I was looking into the glass asking for help."

Many people believe the call to cops may have been racially motivated because Kam is black.

But we spoke with the owner of the gym, Ryan Neal, who tells us, "We have reviewed the situation and can assure you that race was not an issue here."

Neal says the gym has recently had attemped break-ins and the staff was told to call cops if it appeared anyone was trying to gain access to the gym while it was closed.

Neal says he has reached out to Chancellor -- and says he would love to talk business if Kam is still interested in buying the gym.

Neverland Ranch It Can Be Yours ... For $100 Million

Published | Updated

Neverland Ranch is up for sale in a complicated deal that still has ties to Michael Jackson.

The Ranch is on the market for $100 million, and the seller, Colony Capital, has posted a YouTube video to entice prospective buyers.

It's interesting ... Colony Capital was involved with MJ in the last years of his life, bailing the singer out when he was about to lose the ranch. Colony essentially excused the massive debt Michael owed on the property and took title. The company is in the hole, we're told, to the tune of around $70 million.

If and when the property sells, the Michael Jackson Estate could get some of the profit ... a portion in excess of what Colony Capital invested.

And the Estate may have another way of getting some cash. Our sources say Colony Capital did not get permission to use MJ's music in the YouTube video. Ask Paul Anka ... sometimes Michael Jackson music can make you a lot, a lot, a lot of money!
