Fans have already started to flock to the California ranch after reports a public viewing would be held there later this week.

The reported will left by the King of Pop – which is said to exclude his father – has never been seen by the Jackson clan, according tothe Jackson family's lawyer, who insisted that Michael Jackson "loved his dad.”

Michael Jackson is returning to Neverland.

The body of the late singer is being transported from Los Angeles to his Neverland Ranch on Thursday morning.

There will reportedly be a 30-car motorcade following the hearse carrying MJ's body for the 250-mile-trip. Law enforcement officers are currently meeting with the Jackson family to discuss security and traffic control matters.

A public viewing on Friday is also being planned, although at this point it has not been disclosed if the viewing will be free to all or limited to a certain number of fans.

This is what happens when you’re penniless…

They sell your glittery glove.

Memorabilia from Michael Jackson is going up for auction in April and is expected to exceed $1.5 million in sales. 

The pop superstar is selling about 2,000 personal belongings as part of an agreement with Colony Capital LLC who took over the singer’s $24.5 million debt along with his former home, Neverland Ranch. He was unable to keep up with the $3 million-a-year running costs and was forced to sell the $25 million estate.

Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch, aka the scene of many young boys' molestations (don’t give me that “he was acquitted” garbage, you know he did it), has been sold to an investment firm who will rename and reopen the property in a joint venture with the King of Pop-ping Cherries.

Like so many Americans, Jackson would have been foreclosed on when New York-based private equity group Colony Capital, owners of numerous Las Vegas properties including Red Rock Country Club and the Las Vegas Hilton, agreed to take over his $24.5 million debt on the property in May.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
