Lapd Braces for Jackson Memorial; Tickets Popping Up on eBay

5 July 2009 8:01 PM, PDT

Update: By 8 p.m. Sunday, tickets for the memorial were fetching more than $1,000 on various eBay auctions. ___________ Don't say we didn't warn you: If you don't have a ticket to the Michael Jackson memorial, don't go downtown. The Los Angeles Police Department held a briefing Sunday morning to discuss the ever expanding list of details surrounding Tuesday's events and once again, police advised fans to stay home. City officials are not naïve to the expected non-ticket-holding turnout. The specific number of fans anticipated to converge downtown is a "great unknown," but looking to the past offers some idea.

Michael Jackson's Finances: TheWrap Shows You the Money

5 July 2009 5:35 PM, PDT

“There is a real opportunity to restructure (his debt) so they can keep all those assets.”

By Sharon Waxman

More than a week after the sudden death of Michael Jackson, a clearer picture has emerged of the singer’s complicated and notoriously debt-ridden financial status.

 

Here’s what we know: Jackson’s death has already vastly improved his financial prospects, or rather, those of his children.

 

And the tangled financial mess in which he’d been mired will be sorted through by lawyers over the next months and, more likely, years. Sony/Atv will emerge as a big winner, as will Aeg Live.

New Brothers Trailer Hits

5 July 2009 9:18 AM, PDT

Jim Sheridan, director of In America and In The Name of the Father, has been out of the picture ever since Get Rich Or Die Tryin'. But now he's back with the rather promising-sounding Brothers, which sees Natalie Portman, Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire in a family drama. Check it out here. The film sees Grace Cahill (Portman) informed that her Marine husband Sam (Maguire) has been killed while serving in Afghanistan.

Q&A: Evan Rachel Wood on Elderly Lovers and Heart-Shaped Glasses

2 July 2009 9:55 PM, PDT

It'd be far too easy and immature to devote an entire interview to asking Evan Rachel Wood, the 21-year-old Golden Globe-nominated actress of Thirteen and Running With Scissors, about her attraction (fictional and otherwise) to older men. Sure, she was once involved in very public relationship with (more)
