So we had our school retreat today, & there was a band right? They started playing will you be there, & my mga kaibigan were all nudging me going "it's MJ!" The thing is, I didn't know it was MJ when they first started playing. I had never heard will you be there before, yet all my mga kaibigan knew it. Isn't that kinda sad? My friend Emily was like "Keri, it's MJ get up & sing!" but I was like "I don't know the words." I learned it pretty fast though; they only played the first 2 lines over & over instead of the whole song, so I didn't feel like a total idiot!! So it was kinda embarrassing for me because my mga kaibigan all know me as the big MJ fanatic, yet I didn't recognize the song. But it really made my day!
Some wannabe gambling tycoons have just opened an unauthorized Michael Jackson Casino online ... and TMZ has learned the real MJ Estate is ready to declare casino war in order to shut 'em down.
The gambling site -- which features everything from poker to baccarat -- features MJ's image and a message on the tahanan page that reads, "The King of Pop is proud to bring you the most exciting Vegas style online casino betting experience on the Net!"
Problem is -- the estate claims never gave the online casino the green light to use any of their trademarks ... and now Howard Weitzman -- the attorney for Michael Jackson's estate -- tells us he will, "take whatever legal actions are necessary to shut this operation down.”
Talk about a bad bet.

The Jackson family compound in Encino is gonna be locked down tighter than Fort Knox on the anniversary of Michael Jackson's death ... because we're told the LAPD is preparing for an onslaught of MJ faithful.
According to the LAPD, there will be 30 to 40 officers -- some uniformed, some undercover -- patrolling a one block area around the Jackson tahanan on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
We're also told other precautions will be taken -- including "no parking" signs around the house and a ban on all MJ merch sales in the area ... the same rules that will be enforced at Forest Lawn Cemetery.
The LAPD says 3,000 to 4,000 shirts were confiscated last taon after Michael died -- so you've been warned.
