We’re back with another “illustrious” episode filled with News, Music, and insanity.

News

Katherine wants TJ to get $9000. TJ thought it was too much (what?!).

Michael’s former manager most likely won’t be getting commissions from the Estate.

Katherine’s claims against AEG have been thrown out, but the suit against AEG Live is still moving forward with a start date of April 1st. Sources say Prince is planning to testify.

Speaking of AEG, guess which company is no longer for sale?

Music – Seven Inches In

Everyone loved Alex Isley, and we’re sure that everyone is going to love this week’s selection as well. Instead of giving us music that we may not know, this week the lovely Sparklesocks has given us two performances by the Godfather of Soul – James Brown.
