October 02 : Mariah Carey Reveals Unreleased Duet with Michael Jackson, Delayed by Estate Plans : “In a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Mariah Carey shared an exciting revelation: she has an unreleased duet with Michael Jackson that she had hoped to include on her latest album, Here For It All. However, she explained that the song couldn’t be released due to ongoing projects by Michael Jackson’s estate. Carey described the track as “not in the vault, it’s right there,” indicating that it’s ready for release. She expressed her frustration, stating, “I love it, I’m so upset that it’s not coming out on this album, like it should be on there.” She further mentioned that every time she played the song for someone, their reaction was overwhelmingly positive, with many describing it as “one of his classics.” In the collaboration, Carey added new background vocals to Michael’s original track.”

October 06 : “The MJ movie is ready for its close-up: At this point, the highest-stakes film of next year may be Michael, the Michael Jackson biopic that, due to the rights issue with a former child molestation accuser, had to be totally reconceived by director Antoine Fuqua and writer John Logan. Additional photography has now wrapped, and the film ends after Jackson’s triumphant rise to fame in the ’80s. So all the footage of MJ’s later King of Pop (and scandal-plagued) years, including two weeks of shooting at Neverland Ranch, now owned by Ron Burkle, is unusable. Producer Graham King’s plan is to make a second Michael movie that would include all that stuff, plus a significant amount of additional, yet-to-be-shot footage with stars Jaafar Jackson, Colman Domingo, and Miles Teller, but that will now depend on—yes, you guessed it—how the film is received by audiences next April. If it’s a hit, or if all signs are pointing that direction, they greenlight part two, and if not, producers eat all that unused footage. (Remember, the Jackson estate is paying for costs associated with the production debacle.) Lionsgate and Universal, which has international rights to the film, will attach the Michael trailer to Wicked: For Good in November.”
Mark Geragos files a legal memorandum on behalf of Frank Cascio, opposing the Michael Jackson Estate’s petition to compel arbitration. In essence, Geragos argues that the supposed settlement and confidentiality agreement the Estate relies on is void and unenforceable under California law and public policy. He claims it was designed to silence victims of Michael Jackson’s alleged sexual abuse and therefore violates statutes prohibiting nondisclosure agreements related to sexual misconduct. The brief alleges the Estate coerced and manipulated the Cascio family—longtime associates of Jackson—into signing the agreement in 2019–2020 under emotional duress and without legal counsel. It accuses the Estate of breaching the agreement itself by publicly filing confidential details and misusing the court system to “smear” Cascio. Geragos asks the court to deny arbitration, void the agreement entirely, and stay any pending arbitration, framing the petition as a bad-faith effort to suppress victims and protect the Estate’s financial and reputational interests.
