The Peach Drop website advertises Tito as a “Rock & Roll Hall of Famer,” which… well, technically it’s true, but we all know they’re kind of pushing the definition there.  In any case, it should be an interesting evening, and with any luck Katherine will manage to get through the evening without causing any controversy.

To me it’s crazy just how much finger-pointing is going on, especially considering that none of it is going to bring Michael Jackson back.  The demise of Jackson was not something that happened overnight – his life was micromanaged from the time he was a small boy, and no one did anything to alleviate the immense stress of superstardom.  Then when Jackson was old enough and wealthy enough, he made sure he was constantly surrounded by yes-men who would continue to enable the self-destructive behaviors he developed as a response to the pressure he could never escape from.  This went on unimpeded for five decades, and it’s a bit late to be fighting about it now.  Nonetheless, where there’s money to be had, let there be lawsuits

“He’s lying. He’s guilty. Nobody was there but him,” Jackson’s mother, Katherine Jackson, said at a press conference following Dr. Conrad Murray’s arraignment on Monday. “He’s just trying to save his own behind… He killed him.”

Dr. Conrad Murray, who served as Michael Jackson’s personal physician before his death, faces up to four years in prison if convicted on the charge of involuntary manslaughter in the singer’s death. He was released after arraignment on $75,000 bail.

Both sister La Toya Jackson and father Joe Jackson have stated they think Dr. Conrad Murray wasn’t the only guilty party involved in Michael Jackson’s death, although the entire family believes he was the primary hand behind the singer’s demise and should have faced heftier charges. Joe Jackson, in particular, has hinted repeatedly that some of the blame should fall on those pushing Michael Jackson to commit to a grueling schedule for the ‘This Is It’ tour.

“There’s other people, I think, involved with this whole thing,” Joe Jackson said on CNN’s Larry King Live. “He was afraid to even do all of these shows [in his planned tour], because he was afraid that he wouldn’t get a chance to finish all of the shows,” Joe Jackson said. “He couldn’t do all those shows back-to-back. Even his kids say that he had told them that he would be murdered.”

Michael was murdered, and although he died at the hands of Dr. Conrad Murray, I believe Dr. Murray was a part of a much larger plan,” La Toya Jackson said in a press statement. “There are other individuals involved, and I will not rest and I will continue to fight until all of the proper individuals are brought forth and justice is served.”

The planned Michael Jackson film will feature live footage of Michael Jackson provided by concert promoter AEG Live, shot during his final rehearsals for his planned “This is It” comeback tour in London. Videos created for the tour may also be included in the film.

During the Michael Jackson estate court proceedings so far, Judge Beckloff has also granted his approval to other promotional deals featuring the late pop icon, including reprints of his autobiography, posters and other commemorative items.

Michael Jackson’s mother, Katherine Jackson, has been ordered not to reveal information about contracts between AEG Live and the estate. Jackson had requested she be allowed to talk about the contents of the contracts with “regulators or the LAPD,” according to OK Magazine. However, Judge Beckloff ruled Katherine Jackson did not have the right to share what she knows about the contract dealings without a court order.

Debbie Rowe will receive visitation rights with Paris and Prince Michael, as well as monetary spousal support based on previous agreement with Michael Jackson before his death. An unspecified amount of allowance has also been granted to 79-year-old Katherine Jackson and Jackson’s children from the singer’s estate.

Another major legal issue to be dealt with during Tuesday’s hearing is the big question of who will emerge with primary control of Michael Jackson’s estate. Currently, Jackson’s attorney’s John Branca and John McClain – appointed as his estate executers by Jackson in his will – hold most of the reins of Jackson’s estate and assets.

Katherine Jackson may or may not challenge aspects of this arrangement in an attempt to gain further access to her late son’s fortune.

Branca and McClain are also expected to ask for additional leeway to broker deals to promote Michael Jackson related products to bring in more cash flow to the estate.

Michael Jackson requested that his mother be granted guardianship of his children after his death. Rowe abandoned her parental rights for the two eldest children in 2001, although she regained a portion of them several years later. Despite rumors that Rowe was prepared to “battle” for custody of her two birth-children, she is reportedly pleased with the final custody arrangements.

“I am encouraged by the way things are working out,” Rowe said in a radio interview with KNBC News on Thursday. The custody settlement will go before a judge for approval next week in Los Angeles. Rowe does not plan to attend. A child psychologist will be on hand during Rowe’s visits with the children and will be paid for by both Rowe and Katherine Jackson. Rowe reportedly asked for the psychologist to assist during her visits to help the children adjust to spending time with her.

“Mrs. Jackson and the family are pleased this matter is resolved and was handled in a caring, thoughtful and courteous manner by the parties and their representatives,” Katherine Jackson’s attorneys said in a press statement.

Meanwhile, the investigation into Michael Jackson’s death continues. The release of Jackson’s autopsy results have been indefinitely delayed while police probe into the pop icon’s medical history and drug use. The offices and home of Michael Jackson’s personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, were searched under warrant earlier this week.

In warrants filed on Thursday to authorize a search of Murray’s office in Nevada, the documents stated there was probable cause Murray was excessively prescribing substances to a “drug addict” – namely, Michael Jackson.
