Michael Jackson Being Attacked: Latest Updates on His Will

We recently heard about Congressman Peter King referring to Michael Jackson as a "pedophile and a low-life." It's a bit odd that this Republican congressman would opportunistically attack a man after his death, when he could have challenged Jackon's behavior in life. What's also ironic is that the Republican "family values" politicians are notorious for having their own dirt, as their self-righteous platforms tend to be overrun by sex scandals and behavior so egregious that most of us can't even relate to them. But since when has Republican hypocrisy surprised any of us?

Beyond this, there are other developments in the complicated estate situation of Michael Jackson:

The major development has been that Jackson's mother Katherine, has been removed from having control over the Jackson estate. That control has been given to attorney John Branca and music executive John McClain. This was against the mother's wishes, but the judge has determined that the will is indeed valid.
