The people who run Michael Jackson’s Estate are considering opening up the family home in Encino, CA to tourists … the home where MJ recorded his biggest hits, including “Billie Jean.”
Sources familiar with the situation tell us, the Estate is noodling the idea of Hollywood tour buses and individuals making the trek to the property and then taking a room-by-room tour. Our sources say nothing’s in cement … the Estate is currently exploring the idea and also checking to see if the zoning laws would allow it, and if not whether they could get a variance.

December 30 : Another Bogus Lawsuit involving Michael Jackson’s name
Believe it Or Not: A Michael Jackson Court Case Is Going on Right Now in Los Angeles. It’s hard to believe, but six and a half years after his tragic death, yet another court case involving Michael Jackson is going on right now in Los Angeles. The case is billed as Qadree El-Amin vs. Michael Jackson Estate (John Branca, John McClain). Although she’s not named as a plaintiff, the person lurking behind this effort to extrude money from the Estate is Michael’s former p.r. lady and “manager,” Miss Raymone Bain. Raymone Bain — one of four people claiming part ownership in a company created by Jackson — took the witness stand on the second day of a non-jury trial resulting from a petition filed by the Jackson estate, which is seeking to have the estate declared the sole owners of the Michael Jackson Co. LLC. Bain, Qadree El-Amin, Broderick Morris and Adean King say they collectively own about 15 percent of the company under a 3 a.m. deal to which Jackson agreed in a Tokyo hotel room on June 1, 2006. King was the only one of the four not present when the alleged accord was reached.
