Michael Jackson – Estate Lawyer Sued By MJ’s Ex-Business Partner Over Memorabilia Deal
Michael Jackson’s ex-business partner is suing the late singers lawyer, accusing him of mismanaging a business deal selling off the largest collection of MJ’s memorabilia, theJasmineBRAND.com exclusively reports.
A man named Henry Vaccaro filed suit against Michael Jackson’s attorney John Branca, accusing him of defaming his good name.
Here’s the back story — Vaccaro reportedly sold off the Kramer Guitar Company to the Jackson family back in 1993. The family – including Michael – were to work together on several projects together following the sale. However, the family reportedly failed to make the payments per the deal and eventually Vaccaro won judgements against them. He used those judgements to seize assets and has one of the largest collections of Jackson family memorabilia to this day.
Then in 2004, Jackson sued him for $10 million dollars claiming the property was stolen. Vaccaro won the lawsuit with the judge throwing out the case and awarded Jackson nothing.
Then on December 17th, Vaccaro filed a federal lawsuit against John Branca. In the court docs, he explains that in May 2013, a company who owns Elvis Presley memorabilia expressed an interest in purchasing all of his’s Michael Jackson memorabilia.
However, he says Branca reached out to the company and defamed his good name. He alleges Branca told the company he was bankrupt, they had a judgement against him and accused him of being guilty of fraud.
Vaccaro says due to Branca the deal did not go through and the company. He claims that the statements made were false and cost him a lucrative business deal. He is suing Branca for both compensatory damages and punitive damages.
HUH? Mathew Knowles Selling Old Beyonce Memorabilia at TOP SHELF prices but Solanges is at BARGAIN BASEMENT prices?
Beyonce’s dad is trying to make ends meet by unloading tons of her souvenirs from her career in a massive garage sale — which also features Solange stuff … in the bargain bin.
Reports TMZ: As we’ve told you … Mathew Knowles is having baby mama troubles — which might explain why he started selling off some Bey treasures outside his office in Houston last Friday.
As of Monday, there were plenty of items available … including a giant Beyonce poster for $200, old tour books for $20, and various pieces of House of Dereon clothing. On a budget? You can find a Solange CD for $1.96.
In the non-Beyonce aisle — Mathew’s also selling office furniture … so, it looks like a total fire sale.
We’re told Mathew shunned an attempt to haggle the oversized Beyonce poster down to $145 … standing firm at two hundy.
And this is what Mathew is selling below.
I guess Daddy’s baby needs a new pair o’ shoes.
“The Interview” Slated To Play In Select Theaters And Video On Demand On Christmas Day!
While things were looking pretty dismal last week, now it seems Sony has decided to release “The Interview” on Christmas Day after all. According to Chairman/CEO Michael Lynton, the Seth Rogen/James Franco flick about assassinating North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un has several theaters set up for showings and they’re also working on a VOD option.
Lynton declared, “We have never given up on releasing ‘The Interview’ and we’re excited our movie will be in a number of theaters on Christmas Day. At the same time, we are continuing our efforts to secure more platforms and more theaters so that this movie reaches the largest possible audience.”
“I want to thank our talent on ‘The Interview’ and our employees, who have worked tirelessly through the many challenges we have all faced over the last month. While we hope this is only the first step of the film’s release, we are proud to make it available to the public and to have stood up to those who attempted to suppress free speech.”
Rogen also rejoiced via Twitter- “The people have spoken! Freedom has prevailed! Sony didn't give up! The Interview will be shown at theaters willing to play it on Xmas day!”
CHILE………..Kris Jenner Sees Kendall Jenner and Chris Brown as a Future Power Couple?
Even though Chris Brown was caught the other day riding around in Karreuche’s car without her, it appears that Kendall and Chris maybe on couple status “Secretly”….
According to Star Magazine “Kendall was constantly in the studio when Chris was making music,” a family source reveals. “It’s no secret that tthey’ve been hooking up for a while.”
While their romance is still new, Kendall’s parents, Kris and Bruce Jenner, have allowed their daughter to hang around the temperamental Grammy winner for quite some time. Chris’ past transgressions include the February 2009 attack on then girlfriend Rihanna, as well as an outburst on Good Morning America in March 2011 during which he tore off his shirt and threw an object at a window overlooking Times Square. He was also kicked out of rehab earlier this year after breaking the treatment center’s rules and was immediately transferred to jail.
Insiders say that while Bruce isn’t thrilled about his daughter’s choice, his opinion has never held much weight in the family. On the other hand, Kris sees the pair as a future power couple. “Any normal mom would be concerned for their child’s safety in a situation like this,” the pal says. “But Kris is only thinking about the money and fame that can come from it.”
Could this be Kris Jenner feeding the media these stories? I don’t think they’re dating, now having sex ? Yes! Occasional hook ups here and there… But together as a couple… No
Stevie J got a BIG CHRISTMAS GIFT! He’s been ORDERED TO 30-Day Inpatient REHAB Facility!
Benzino told ya'll...."That's that coke."
A new report in the NY Post reveals that Manhattan prosecutors are fed up with child-support dodger Stevie J, who has a serious drug problem...allegedly.
All together now...how big is his alleged problem? It's so big (allegedly) that in the past 6-months, the courts report that he's failed no less than 10 drugs tests (he was tested for cocaine and marijuana). At this point, it's not a criminal matter because the courts just want him to get help!
You'll recall that he was busted in Atlanta, in June, for failing to pay $1.1 million in a court-ordered child support payment for two of his kids in Pennsylvania.
Although he was released on $25,000 bail, the NY Post reports that he's failed a string of random drug tests mandated by the terms of his release. At present count - 10 times between June and December!
Prosecutors have demanded that he be placed in a 30-day inpatient rehab center to address his admitted drug abuse problems. But wait....Stevie J's attorney, Michael Bellinger, doesn't wait Stevie to go to rehab, claiming it would prevent him from working and stall his ability to pay his debts!
At this point, it doesn't matter what Stevie J or his lawyer have to say as Judge Andrew Peck agreed with the prosecution. He decided to impose the rehab stint. We think Stevie J should count his blessings that he's going to rehab instead of jail. Happy Holidays...

Gabrielle Union CHATS IT UP In UPTOWN Magazine
You’ve seen the uber fierce magazine cover. Now get up close and personal with Gabrielle Union in her new cover story for UPTOWN magazine.
For the December/January 2015 issue, the 42-year-old chick (above in a sexy black one-shouldered Gucci dress) opens up about the challenges she has faced while trying to conceive her own child with her Miami Heat baller husband Dwyane Wade.
The Top Five star reveals she often catches baby fever and would love to one day become a mother, but unfortunately, her body hasn’t quite caught up with her mind and heart. She dished,
“I think my brain and my heart are screaming baby fever. My ovaries, however, they’re coughing up dust. Yes, it’s in my heart and in my mind, and we’ll see if my body catches up with that.”
The “Being Mary Jane” star became step-mom to Dwayne’s two sons Zion & Zaire (and his son Xavier, the child he had while they were on a break) after marrying D.Wade this summer, but she has yet to fulfill her dream of having a child of her own. She spilled,
“I have really awesome stepkids, so I feel equally as fulfilled. I’ve lasted 42 years without having a human being come from one of my orifices and I feel okay and fulfilled and happy. If it does happen, it’s a miracle—a medical miracle at least. I mean, we’d love to. We’ll see what my ovaries say. Cause right now they’re taking Geritol.”
The Sensationail spokeswoman also talked about living well below her means to ensure she’s financially stable in case anything drastic happens. The actress reveals she would still be able to afford the lifestyle she lives today even if her career ended tomorrow. She said,
“I live so far below my means that if the career was taken away, I could get a job based on my level of education and my job skills, and I could still afford what I have. I plan ahead for the destruction, my financial ruin. I might borrow some hot shit, but you’re gonna come to my house and be like, ‘What happened to that dope bag that cost as much as a home?’ I borrow that. I give it right back.”
Ok Gabby!
You can read her full interview here. In the meantime, peep the rest of her GORGEOUS spread.
Nice!
So Ciara has Removed Future Ring Tattoo!?
It looks like Ciara is making an attempt to forget about Future once and for all … this includes removing she and her ex-fiance’s matching ring tattoos.
The pop star was recently spotted at LAX with her son baby Future and one thing appeared to be gone, her finger tattoo. Usually, while in the process of removing a tat, the ink slowly fades and if you look closely, the N, which stands for Future’s first name, Nayvadius, is practically gone.
And if you check out Ci’s Instagram photos from several weeks ago, you’ll also notice the missing ink.
CiCi and Nayvadius got engaged in October 2013, but just nine months later, the singer broke off their engagement because of alleged infidelity. The duo’s split also came just three months after the birth of their son, Future Zahir.
The 28-year-old has remained mum on she and Future’s breakup, but she does appear to be in great spirits. Ci is constantly posting snapshots on Instagram of she and baby Future, so something tells us she is doing well. Over the weekend, the singer posted this adorable image of she and her son in Santa hats.
“We’re So Ready,” the caption read.
Oh Wells…
