Michael Jackson Will Surfaces; Estate in Court

Michael JacksonMichael Jackson's lawyer has a copy of the late singer's will and he intends to file it with the court, according to a report this afternoon on TMZ.

The Jackson family doesn't have a copy of the will, which is currently in possession of attorney John Branca. It's unclear how many wills Michael Jackson made out and when, but Branca believes he's looking at the most current.

Branca says he has a signed will by Michael Jackson that he intends to file within 30 days. It is unclear at this time what Jackson's will might say.

John Branca has a long history with Jackson, having brokered the singer's famous deal for Jackson to purchase The Beatles' publishing catalogue in 1985.

Branca and Jackson stopped working together in 2006, but interestingly, he was re-hired just weeks ago. Michael died Thursday of cardiac arrest.

So far, the confirmed autopsy results are unclear as to the cause. The leaked autopsy results from earlier today are apparently completely fabricated.

Meanwhile, initial papers have been filed with the court to probate Michael Jackson's estate, and it seems Jackson's mom and dad don't know Michael had a will.

The petition was filed by Michael's parents, Joe and Katherine Jackson, who also filed a petition to obtain guardianship of Michael's children in court today.

But the odd thing regarding the will is that the Jacksons filed the papers saying the music icon died "intestate" - or in layman's terms, without a will.

The petition asks that Katherine Jackson be named as administrator of the will, meaning she wants to call the shots (and receive a commission, most likely).

The papers say Debbie Rowe, the mother of Michael's two older children, Michael Jr. (Prince I) and Paris, will be served with notice of a hearing.

More details as the story develops.

Even Kim Kardashian Wants to See Megan Fox Nude

Megan Fox was just deemed the sexiest woman in the world by FHM magazine for the second year in a row - and Kim Kardashian certainly gets why.

"Megan Fox is so hot," K-squared konfessed to Entertainment Tonight.

"She is, like, my girl krush - and I don't have girl krushes!"

Kim Kardashian says she went to the L.A. premiere of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen this week to hopefully catch a glimpse of the Foxy actress.

"That's really the only reason I'm here," she said at the movie event, adding that her boyfriend Reggie Bush "also has a thing" for Fox.

Megan Fox, who is no stranger to girl-on-girl fantasies and famously said she wants to strangle a mountain ox with her bare hands when she thinks about Olivia Wilde, has yet to comment on whether Kim Kardashian kommands similar feelings.

But she told June's Esquire that being sexy comes naturally to her.

"I'm just really confident sexually, and I think that sort of oozes out of my pores," she said. "It's just there. It's something I don't have to turn on."

"If you know how to take control of [being a sex symbol], then it can be powerful. But I have no idea how to handle it yet, how to deal with it."

So basically, to sum up:

Everyone wants to see Megan Fox nude, and she is well aware of this, but she hasn't yet figured out how to harness such responsibility and power.

Chris Brown Accepts Plea Deal, Avoids Jail Time

Chris BrownChris Brown has copped a plea bargain in his assault and criminal threats case and will not serve time in jail, as per an agreement reached just moments ago.

Rihanna was in court today but the plea was announced before the preliminary hearing even took place, so she did not testify. The details on Brown's deal:

* Chris Brown will spend 180 days in a labor diversion program in Virginia, where he lives. This is a step tougher community service - Brown must do regimented, hard labor (like highway cleanup) during that time, but may live at home.
* He will work eight hours a day during that span (1,440 hours total).
* He received five years probation for felony assault. He must return to court every three months for a status report during those five years. If Brown in any way violates probation, he could get up to four years in prison.
* He must enroll in a domestic violence counseling program.
* He must stay completely clear from Rihanna at all times. If they are at the same public events, he still must keep 10 yards' distance.
* As Chris Brown has pleaded guilty to the felony assault charge, he is a convicted felon who loses the right to vote or carry a gun.

The judge presiding over the case said she wanted to make sure Chris Brown "was treated as any other person who comes through this court."
