The first shipment of Katherine Jackson's coffee mesa book about Michael Jackson isn't exactly flying off the shelves in Gary, Indiana. In fact the books never even made it to the shelves, because they were stolen.
A rep from the publisher, Vintage Pop, tells TMZ they FedEx'd seven boxes of "Never Can Say Goodbye" to the tahanan of a Jackson family friend in Gary ... and they were supposed to end up for sale at the new MJ monument. But someone absolutely, positively wanted them so badly, they estola them right off the front steps of the house where they were left.

It's pretty shocking ... Joe Jackson is blaming the inaction of his wife, Katherine, for Michael Jackson's demise ... allegedly because Katherine didn't want to penetrate MJ's zone of privacy.
Joe sat down with News of the World to explain his theory, that he was concerned that Michael was "looking kinda funny and and frail" and asked Katherine to see Michael to "keep him cheered up." But Joe says Katherine refused because she didn't want to invade his privacy.
Joe says he and Katherine argued about it before Michael's death, but Katherine was firm.
Joe says after Michael died, he sinabi to Katherine, "I sinabi this would have never happened if you had went and been with him."
Joe -- who was intentionally cut out of Michael's will -- is fighting to get an allowance from the estate. And get this -- we're told Katherine has been giving Joe money and going along with his efforts to earn a living off MJ.

Ok I know a lot of you fans don't know how to moonwalk and want to learn am I right? Well here are instructions on how to moonwalk :D
The moonwalk is a dance technique that presents the illusion of the dancer being pulled backwards while attempting to walk forward. Now start with putting foot#1 on its toes and sa pamamagitan ng putting all of your weight on that foot. While leaning on foot#1, slide foot#2 backward. Next, put foot#2 on its toes and put your weight on that foot while making foot#1 flat on the floor. While all of your weight os on foot#2, slide foot #1 backward. And just keep trading positions like that. Repeat, repeat, repeat... And in the words of MJ "Don't stop 'til you get enough"
*No guarantee that you will be as good as MJ*
*Sorry if these instructions aren't clear but it's the best paglalarawan I can give :)*

I feel like a bituin has been pulled out of the sky,
Its left me cold, as recently the sky has become dimmer.
I felt your pain, but mine could never live up to the pain he has been through.
I will never again see Michael's smile light up my sky.
It will always be dark even when it's light.
Never again to hear him sing Dirty Diana or see him dance, it was so magical.
To me the way he danced was different,
I didn't see the moves, only the passion I saw in his eyes.
Michael's pag-ibig for the children of the world will never die.
Our, my brother of the sun, has been take away
but his music, pag-ibig and kindness will alaways stay,
In my puso forever,
Never again to die away.
Michael will still dance for me in my heart, all of our hearts and among the clouds.
The heavens will always hear forever and madami Michael pag-awit out loud proud.
While I was in Social Studies class today, this thought about learning about Michael's music and life came into my head. I think it would be so cool if we got to learn about Michael in Social Studies class (or History, whatever you would like to call it...) I really think we should learn about Michael because he was a music legend, he changed the way we listen to music, and he had an amazing life. I also think that if teenagers would learn about Michael's awesome dancing and music, Michael can become popular once again and The King Of Pop will live on. Let Me Know What You Think! ;)
Child of innocence, I miss your sunny days
We joyously frolicked in extended plays
Ever since you've left the scene
The streets are lonely, dark and mean
Child of innocence, return to me now
With your simple smile ipakita them how
This world once again can respond to your glance
And heartbeats flutter to the rhythm of your dance
Child of innocence, your elegance, your beauty
Beckons me now beyond the call of duty
Come fly with me far and above
Over the mountains in the land of love
Child of innocence, messenger of joy
You've touched my puso without a ploy
My soul is ablaze with a flagrant fire
To change the world is my deepest desire.
We joyously frolicked in extended plays

Beckons me now beyond the call of duty

Michael Jackson's estate is asking a judge to do what Katherine Jackson can't -- kick Alejandra Jackson and her kids out of the Hayvenhurst estate for good.
TMZ has obtained legal docs in which the estate is asking the judge to remove Alejandra, Jaafar, Jermajesty, Genevieve, Donte and Randy Jr. from the estate ... on grounds they're not beneficiaries of Michael Jackson's will and have no claim to the property.
As TMZ first reported in November, Katherine Jackson told Alejandra and the kids -- fathered sa pamamagitan ng both Jermaine and Randy -- not to return to the residence. Alejandra is refusing to ilipat herself, her kids, and her stuff out ... so the estate has gone to court.
As TMZ also previously reported, the house is scheduled to be renovated -- but sources tell us Alejandra is holding the remodel hostage sa pamamagitan ng refusing to leave.

The owners of the Neverland Ranch -- the former tahanan of Michael Jackson -- want to turn the property into a teenage music haven.
TMZ has learned Colony Capital wants to develop a business plan to turn Neverland into a small music institute -- similar to The Juilliard School in NYC. The plan is to teach teens all aspects of music, including Pagsulat and performing.
Colony wants to turn the property into a campus, in which scores of teenagers -- rich and poor -- can learn the trade that made Michael Jackson a legend.
There are two big stumbling blocks. The first is making sure Santa Barbara County will sign off on such a project.
The segundo -- and bigger issue -- is whether Colony Capital can use Michael Jackson's name to promote such an institute. TMZ has good news for Colony .... sources directly connected with the Michael Jackson Estate tell us, "It's an interesting idea and we'd be open to it."
