...solid bronze casket with 14-karat gold-plated handles and the party following the ceremony - all of which needed court approval for Michael Jackson's estate to cover the costs. That's a lot of This Is It ticket sales. The papers also show that sisters Janet and LaToya Jackson were owed reimbursements of $49,000 and $2,437, respectively, for fronting immediate funeral costs. As Katherine Jackson's lawyer states in the court papers, while the costs are "significant, they are entirely commensurate with the decedent's worldwide status as an entertainer and with the world's grief over...

Additionally, the students’ dancing improves at a surprising pace, and the ballroom competition...

In the 7th Ward, east of downtown in an area that got little flooding, Latoya Crump is overseeing work on her mom?s shotgun house painted a pale minty green with dark green gingerbread trim.
