El patrimonio de Michael Jackson terminó una disputa legal con un hombre que supuestamente robó un millón de dólares en pertenencias de Michael de la finca en Carolwood del fallecido cantante. Las partes acaban de decirle a la corte que hay un acuerdo.

De acuerdo con nuevos documentos legales; obtenidos por TMZ, la finca de Michael resolvió su disputa legal con Jeffré Phillips, quien fue acusado de tomar toneladas de pertenencias de Michael en 2009 después de que el cantante murió.

Los términos del acuerdo son confidenciales, aunque vale la pena señalar que la herencia de Michael le pidió ayuda a un juez para ayudar a devolver las pertenencias.

TMZ dio la noticia, el patrimonio de Michael afirmó que Phillips estaba comprometido con uno de los hermanos de Michael y se aprovechó el caos y la tristeza en torno a su muerte en 2009 para robar un montón de propiedad privada y objetos personales de la casa de Carolwood.

El patrimonio afirmó que Phillips iba a vender los artículos y estaban tratando de evitarlo a toda costa.

A partir de ahí, el patrimonio de Michael trató de recuperar la propiedad, fijando el valor agregado en alrededor de un millón de dólares

Entre los elementos robados... ordenadores portátiles, iPods, discos duros, DVDs y CDs que se cree que contienen actuaciones inéditas de MJ y material de archivo inédito.

Donald Trump has found himself on the outs with Forbes -- at least as it pertains to its richest Americans list -- 'cause he's fallen off the top 400 club ... again.

Here's the deal ... DT was first removed from the coveted baller group in 2021 -- amid a rocky exit from the White House -- but he got back in just last year, clocking No. 343 with a then-estimated net worth of $3.2 billion ... following real estate sales and other ventures.

Now in 2023, he has once more fallen off the 400 list with a current estimated net worth of $2.6 billion. You'd think all the indictments against him -- not to mention a civil trial that's taken a hard look at his wealth/property values -- would be to blame ... but not necessarily.

According to Forbes, his dip in riches is actually more attributed to a bad investment in Truth Social -- which the outlet notes has mostly failed to take off and attract a consistent user base -- as well as some of his office buildings depreciating on the market.

Trump's commercial real estate portfolio has apparently taken a major hit amid remote work and some cities seeing a trend of residents fleeing -- like SF, where he holds some assets.

In other words, it's just the regular economy that seems to have dinged him here ... and not so much the mounting legal bills. Another interesting nugget from this report -- Forbes pegs DT's liquid wealth to be in the ballpark of about $426 million, so he's far from broke.

5:28 PM PT -- Jonathan Steinsapir, counsel for the Co-Executors of the Estate of Michael Jackson tell TMZ ... "The litigation between the Estate of Michael Jackson and Jeffré Phillips has been amicably resolved without the need for a trial and without any findings or admissions of wrongdoing. Mr. Phillips has voluntarily returned Michael Jackson’s property to the Estate. All outstanding disputes between the parties have been settled on confidential terms. We wish Mr. Phillips well in his future endeavors. "

Michael Jackson's estate is no longer beefing with a man who allegedly stole $1 million worth of MJ property from the late singer's Carolwood estate ... the parties just told the court there's a settlement.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Michael's estate settled its legal dispute with Jeffré Phillips, who was accused of taking tons of Michael's belongings in 2009, after the singer died.

The terms of the settlement are confidential ... though it's worth noting Michael's estate had been asking a judge to help return the property.

TMZ broke the story ... Michael's estate claimed Phillips was engaged to one of MJ's siblings back in the day and used the chaos and sadness around Michael's 2009 death to swipe a bunch of private and personal property from MJ's Carolwood home.

The estate claimed Phillips was going to sell the items and was looking to prevent any such sale from going forward.

From there, Michael's estate sought to recover the property ... pegging the aggregate value at around $1 million.

Among the items MJ's estate claims Phillips stole from the home ... laptops, iPods, hard drives, DVDs and CDs believed to contain non-public MJ performances and unreleased concert footage.

According to the estate, the rest of the stuff included Michael's handwritten notes with song lyrics ... plus cassette tapes, personal computers, framed record awards, a Michael Jackson doll, and a photo album with MJ on the cover.

Joanna Krupa is a single woman again in the eyes of the law, 'cause her divorce has been finalized ... and it sounds like a net zero for both her and her now ex-husband.

The former 'Real Housewives' star settled up with Douglas Nunes -- who initially filed for divorce earlier this year ... following 5 years of marriage. Now, thanks to a California court, they're both free to go on their merry ways.

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the terms of their split are pretty equitable -- at least based on what's public ... including child support, spousal support, etc.

They will share joint legal custody ... the breakdown of physical custody was not disclosed in the docs. Neither will receive child support. They both waived spousal support.

The division of assets is not laid out in the docs.

Joanna has officially 86'd her married name ... her OG surname has been restored -- Krupa.

Taylor Swift tiene la oportunidad de hacer tres viajes consecutivos para ver los partidos de Travis Kelce, y el alcalde de Minneapolis está liderando la campaña para que eso se haga realidad este próximo fin de semana, según ha indagado TMZ.

El alcalde Jacob Frey nos dice que él y la ciudad están listos para recibir a TayTay con los brazos abiertos este domingo, que es cuando los Kansas City Chiefs enfrentan a los Minnesota Vikings en un partido por la tarde. Él incluso tiene un mensaje para animarla.

Frey dice: "Todos sabemos muy bien el positivo impacto que tiene Taylor Swift en las ciudades que visita. Minneapolis no es una excepción".

El alcalde tiene buenos recuerdos de su presentación en Minneapolis a principios de este año y añade: "Sus dos conciertos agotaron entradas en el U.S. Bank Stadium en junio y nos llevaron a tener un récord de turistas ese fin de semana, con hoteles y restaurantes del centro repletos, impulsando nuestra economía más allá de lo que imaginábamos".

Por ese motivo, Frey tiene los dedos cruzados: "Si Taylor decide volver a Minneapolis (a veces conocido como Swiftieapolis) este fin de semana, estaremos listos para recibirla. Es posible que tenga que consolar a Travis Kelce después de que los Vikings le ganen a los Chiefs, pero hay un montón de sitios para salir en la ciudad y subirle el ánimo".

Que conste que lo de Swiftieapolis es real. La ciudad literalmente cambió de nombre, aunque solo haya sido por un corto tiempo, así que sí... con su claro conocimiento de la discografía de Taylor es justo decir que el alcalde es un verdadero Swiftie.

La verdad es que cada ciudad de la NFL se sentiría de la misma manera. Taylor ha demostrado que puede atraer audiencias masivas, en términos de atención de los medios y el gasto de los consumidores a través de múltiples industrias, lo que por lo general se traduce en más tráfico y, a menudo, más dinero también.

Los dos partidos de la NFL en los que ha asistido han sido un éxito de audiencia para Fox y NBC, las cadenas que los han televisado. La próxima semana es el turno de la CBS y parece que el alcalde Frey quiere entrar en acción también.

Taylor Swift has a chance to make it 3 consecutive trips to see Travis Kelce's games, and the Mayor of Minneapolis is leading the cheers for her to do so this coming weekend ... TMZ has learned.

Mayor Jacob Frey tells us he and the rest of the city are ready to welcome TayTay with open arms this Sunday, which is when the Kansas City Chiefs play the Minnesota Vikings for an afternoon match-up -- he even has an on-the-nose message to encourage her.

Frey says, "We know All Too Well the positive impact Taylor Swift has on the cities she visits -- Minneapolis is no exception."

The Mayor has fond memories of her tour stop in Minneapolis earlier this year, adding ... "Her two, sold-out concerts at U.S. Bank Stadium in June led to a record-setting tourism weekend including booked-up hotels and packed downtown restaurants... boosting our local economy beyond our Wildest Dreams."

Here's how you know Mayor Frey has his fingers crossed ... "If Taylor chooses to come back to Minneapolis [sometimes known as Swiftieapolis] this weekend, we’ll be Ready For It. It’s possible she will have to console Travis Kelce after the Vikings beat the Chiefs, but there are plenty of great spots across town for them to go on a date and lift their spirits!"

FWIW, the Swiftieapolis thing is real ... they literally changed city's name (if only for a short time), so yeah -- with his clear knowledge of Taylor's catalog -- it's fair to say Hizzoner's a full on Swiftie.

Fact is, every NFL city would feel this way ... as Taylor's proven to have massive appeal in terms of media attention, and consumer spending across multiple industries, that usually translates to more traffic ... and oftentimes, more moolah, too.

The 2 NFL games she's attended have turned out to be a ratings bonanza for Fox and NBC, the networks that televised them. Next week, it's CBS's turn and it sounds like Mayor Frey wants to get in on the action as well.

La mega-mansión de Kylie Jenner está empezando a tomar forma. Ya tiene el techo y un diseño más definido después de años desde que comenzara a construirse el proyecto.

Los 5 acres de tierra de Kylie finalmente tienen la estructura completa visible. Obviamente, todavía hay mucho trabajo por hacer, pero de que han progresado, han progresado.

Kylie adquirió la propiedad por primera vez en 2020 por 15 millones de dólares y las obras comenzaron a principios del 21. Cuando la casa esté lista, según los informes, tendrá 15 dormitorios, así como una piscina infinita, un garaje subterráneo y una pista deportiva.

En cuanto a sus vecinos, Will Smith está súper cerca, al igual que las hermanas Kim, Kourtney y Khloe, así como su madre, Kris Jenner.

Kylie Jenner's mega-mansion is beginning to take shape ... getting a roof and true layout years after construction on the massive project first began.

Kylie's 5 acres of land finally has the full structure visible, sitting on top, with what might be a large garage attached to the side. Obviously, there's still a lot of work to be done, but progress is progress.

Kylie first scooped up the property in 2020 for $15 million, and work began early '21. When everything is all said and done, it will reportedly have 15 bedrooms, as well as an infinity pool, an underground garage and a sports court.

As for her neighbors, Will Smith is super close, as are sisters Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe as well as her mom, Kris Jenner.

Kim Zolciak y Kroy Biermann sin duda tienen algunos problemas de dinero, pero no están poniendo en venta su casa, como señala un aparente anuncio de bienes raíces que se publicó la semana pasada.

La gente se dio cuenta de que la finca de Georgia, que ha estado en el centro del divorcio entre Kim y Kroy, apareció en sitios como Zillow y Trulia el miércoles por la suma de $3.2 millones, solo un poco por encima de su valor estimado de alrededor de $2.9 millones

La cosa es que nuestras fuentes dicen que Kim y Kroy nunca pusieron un anuncio para vender su casa, así que quien lo hizo creó una página falsa para molestar a la pareja.

Dejando de lado el aviso, Kim y Kroy aún enfrentan a graves problemas económicos. Kroy ha estado rogando a un juez que le permita dejar de pagar la propiedad hasta que sea comprada, para hacerse cargo de sus deudas. También ha dicho en repetidas oportunidades que todavía hay equidad en el hogar y que la venta resolvería gran parte de sus problemas de dinero. Además, les permitiría encontrar nuevos lugares para vivir.

Sin embargo, el juez aún no ha tomado una decisión sobre si debe o no permitir la venta, más pruebas de que el aviso actual no es real.

Kim ha sido ambivalente respecto a la venta de la casa, a veces sugiere que ambos están en la misma página, pero otras parece que quiere retrasar el proceso en tribunales.

En cuanto a la casa en sí, esta posee 7 dormitorios y 9 baños, por no hablar de los 9.500 pies cuadrados.

Por supuesto, también cuenta con todos los lujos del sur. Tiene su propia bodega, una piscina, un ascensor interior para dos personas, un garaje para seis carros, además de la tranquilidad de estar dentro de una comunidad de lujo cerca de un campo de golf y un lago.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann certainly have some serious money issues, but they're not listing their home for sale ... despite an apparent real estate listing that went live last week.

Folks noticed the Georgia estate -- which has been at the center of Kim and Kroy's ongoing divorce -- appeared on sites like Zillow and Trulia Wednesday for $3.2 million ... just a smidge above its estimated online value of about $2.9 mil.

Thing is ...  our sources say Kim and Kroy never listed the home, so whoever posted the sale created a fake page to seemingly mess with the estranged couple.

Fake listing aside -- Kim and Kroy are still facing serious money problems -- and Kroy's been begging a judge to let him unload this property so that they can take care of mounting debts. He's repeatedly said there's still equity in the home, and that selling it would take care of a lot of their money problems -- and it'd also let them get their own spots.

However, a judge has not yet made a decision on whether or not to allow the sale ... more evidence the current listing isn't real.

Kim has appeared ambivalent about the sale of the home ... at times suggesting they were on the same page in selling it but also seemingly holding up the process in court.

As for the home itself -- its 7 bedrooms and 9 baths, not to mention the 9,500 sq. feet.

Of course, it also features all the bells and whistles of Southern luxury -- the home has its own wine cellar, a pool, an indoor 2-person elevator, a 6-car garage ... plus, all the peace and comfort of being inside a ritzy gated community near a golf course and a lake.

Michael Jordan es considerado una de las 400 personas más ricas de Estados Unidos.

Forbes acaba de conceder el honor a la leyenda de la NBA después de que dijo que la venta de su participación en los Charlotte Hornets a principios de este verano empujó su patrimonio neto a 3 mil millones de dólares.

Jordan, según la publicación, ocupa ahora el puesto 397 entre los 400 más ricos del país, solo unos puestos por debajo del mandamás de la WWE, Vince McMahon.

Se ha convertido en el primer atleta profesional en entrar en la lista.

Michael ganó gran parte de su fortuna a través de contratos de la NBA y sus enormes acuerdos de patrocinio con empresas como Nike y Gatorade, pero fue la venta Hornets lo que dio el último empujón.

Como informamos, Jordan vendió el equipo a Gabe Plotkin y Rick Schnall en junio por 3 mil millones de dólares, esto después de que inicialmente compró la participación mayoritaria de la organización en 2010 por apenas 175 millones de dólares.

Matt Crafton and Nick Sanchez will have to cough up some cash after their post-race brawl last week ... because the NASCAR drivers were fined thousands for the bloody altercation!

NASCAR made the announcement Tuesday, announcing Crafton, the ThorSport Racing driver, was fined $25k. Meanwhile, Sanchez, a rookie driver for Rev Racing, was hit with a $5k fine ... both for their roles in the epic scrap at Love’s RV Stop 25 at Talladega Superspeedway.

It seems the melee started after the drivers made contact with each other during the last lap of the race, a playoff event. Once the race finished, Crafton confronted Sanchez as he walked to the garage.

Witnesses say Crafton, 47, caught Sanchez, 22, by surprise, and the fight was on.

Sanchez ended up with a bloody face ... and he wasn't pleased, threatening Crafton for the punch, which some people have described as a cheap shot.

"You're f***ing dead," Sanchez yelled. "I'm gonna f***ing kill you!"

Sanchez -- the 2022 ARCA Menards Series champ -- suffered a broken nose ... which was treated at the track by medics.

NASCAR also suspended Sanchez's father from the last two races of the year for getting involved in the fight.

"I think if you look at our history with our drivers and how we handle these situations, a suspension was definitely considered," NASCAR VP Elton Sawyer said on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

Michael Jordan is now so rich, he's considered one of the wealthiest 400 people in America!!!

Forbes just bestowed the honor on the NBA legend ... after it said the sale of his stake in the Charlotte Hornets earlier this summer pushed his net worth to $3 BILLION.

Jordan, according to the outlet, now comes in at No. 379 among the country's wealthiest 400 ... just a few slots below WWE honcho Vince McMahon.

He's become the first professional athlete to ever make the list.

His Airness, of course, gained a ton his of fortune through NBA contracts and his huge endorsement deals with companies like Nike and Gatorade ... but it was the Hornets sale that pushed him into the rarified air.

As we reported, Jordan sold the team to Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnall in June for $3 billion ... this after he initially bought the majority stake of the organization in 2010 for a mere $175 million.

Angela White, formerly Blac Chyna, says she's resorted to selling her personal belongings to keep her head above water, asking Tyga to chip in for their looming custody battle.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Angela says she's selling off her clothes, purses and shoes through an online consignment store and to friends and family just to make ends meet.

Angela claims she's brought in over $178k this year from selling her personal items, which she says has supplemented her plummeting business sales ... but there's a problem.

Angela says it's really just a stopgap measure ... because she's going to eventually run out of clothes, purses and shoes to sell.

With Angela fighting Tyga in court over legal and physical custody of their son, King, she says the legal bills are piling up on her end ... and she won't be able to keep up the fight for her kid without some money from her rapper ex.

In the docs, Angela also claims Tyga's been interfering with the limited time she does have with her son, which is only 24 hours a week.

Angela says Tyga refuses to directly communicate with her, share his contact information, or give her an address for where King lives. Anglea claims he's also holding back important information on the kid's health, safety and welfare, such as the location of the kid's school and his prescriptions.

However, sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ Angela knows where Tyga lives, and he's been paying for King's private school tuition, medical bills and most everyday living expenses. We're told King has his own line of communication with Angela that she has easily accessible access to.

Angela White, antes Blac Chyna, dice que ha recurrido a la venta de sus pertenencias personales para mantenerse a flote y le pide a Tyga que contribuya en su inminente batalla por la custodia.

Según los nuevos documentos legales obtenidos por TMZ, Angela dice que está vendiendo su ropa, bolsos y zapatos a través de una tienda en línea y también a amigos y familiares solo para llegar a fin de mes.

Angela afirma que ha ganado $178k este año gracias a la venta de sus artículos personales. Ella dice que esto la ha ayudado mucho para aplacar los problemas financieros por los que ha pasado últimamente.

Angela dice que esto es solamente una medida provisional, ya que tarde o temprano va a quedarse sin ropa, bolsos y zapatos para vender.

Con Angela luchando contra Tyga en los tribunales sobre la custodia legal y física de su hijo (King), ella dice que las facturas legales se acumulan y que no será capaz de mantener la lucha por su hijo sin algo de dinero del ex rapero.

En los documentos, Angela también afirma que Tyga ha estado interfiriendo con el tiempo limitado que tiene con su hijo, que es solo 24 horas a la semana.

Angela dice que Tyga se niega a comunicarse directamente con ella, compartir su información de contacto o darle la dirección donde vive King. Anglea afirma que también está reteniendo información importante sobre la salud, la seguridad y el bienestar del niño, además de la ubicación de la escuela y sus recetas médicas.

Sin embargo, fuentes familiarizadas con la situación nos informan que Angela sabe donde vive Tyga, y él ha estado pagando por la matrícula de la escuela privada de King, las facturas médicas y la mayoría de los gastos de su vida cotidiana. Nos dicen que King tiene su propia línea de comunicación con Angela y que ella tiene fácil acceso.

El personaje de Leonardo DiCaprio en "Titanic" no tenía mucho a su nombre cuando subió al barco, pero ahora se espera que el traje de Jack Dawson se venda por mucho más de seis cifras.

El traje que Leo llevaba en el clásico de James Cameron saldrá a subasta el próximo mes, con la oferta ganadora prevista para caer en algún lugar entre $115.000 y $230.000.

Recuerde recordemos que Jack pasó la mayor parte de la película vestido con pantalones de pana, overoles, una camisa de manga larga con botones y un chaleco.

Las prendas incluyen etiquetas personalizadas en las que se lee "MR: LEONARDO DICAPRIO" y "DATE: AUGUST '96".

El traje de Leo de "Titanic" es parte de la próxima subasta de Propstore en Londres, donde se espera vender 13.8 millones de dólares en recuerdos de cine y televisión.

Otros artículos de la nota incluyen una cabeza iluminada C-3PO de "Star Wars: Una nueva esperanza" que la casa de subastas cree que irá por $1,15 millones.

El traje de murciélago de Michael Keaton de 1989 "Batman" también está en el bloque de la subasta junto con el traje de Jack Sparrow de "Piratas del Caribe: En mareas extrañas", zapatillas de Tom Hanks de "Forrest Gump" y un escudo del Capitán América de "Capitán América: El primer vengador".
