The litigation that has surrounded the tragedy of Michael Jackson's untimely death continues. Katherine Jackson, on behalf of and along with Michael Jackson's children, has filed suit against AEG Live, the promoter for the late superstar's 50-date concert residency. Jackson's mother charges the company breached its contractual agreement to provide medical care for her son and argues they were negligent in hiring controversial doctorConrad Murray.
According to TMZ, Katherine's filing claims AEG's contract with Michael "created a legal duty for AEG to act reasonably toward the physical well-being of Michael Jackson." The website also points out that the lawsuit lists Katherine Jackson as a Guardian ad Litem, or legal representative, for Michael's three children, which Katherine is not. Jackson's mother is in fact only the trio's guardian.
The gossip site suggests that the mistake, along with the fact that Katherine's reps know nothing about the lawsuit, suggests she is not actively involved in this case.
In other MJ-related lawsuit news, Conrad Murray's attorneys asked a federal judge on Wednesday (September 15) to dismiss the wrongful death lawsuit filed by the singer's father, Joe Jackson, because he is not a beneficiary of the late singer's estate. The Associated Press reported that Murray's lawyers equated Joe's lawsuit to a "press-release that is intended to prejudice and inflame the jury pool and the public." The motion will reportedly be considered by a federal judge during a hearing scheduled for Oct. 18.
Joe Jackson sued Murray on June 25, the one-year anniversary of his son's death in 2009 at age 50. His lawsuit claimed the doctor withheld vital information about Jackson's medical history — including a list of all the drugs he had administered to his patient — from paramedics who responded to a 911 call, as well as to doctors at UCLA Medical Center who attempted to revive the singer. At the autopsy for Jackson, the complaint also alleges that Murray "said nothing" about having administered the surgical anesthetic propofol, which the coroner concluded caused Jackson's death. The lawsuit seeks more than $75,000 in damages.

Nicki Minaj and Eminem's alter egos, Roman Zolanski and Slim Shady, are not known for their restraint. On Minaj's much-buzzed about Pink Friday collabo with Em, "Roman's Revenge," both MCs demonstrate how bonkers they can get, trading outrageous bars packed with lyrical fury.
The track opens with ominous strings and the weighty knock of the drums and bass line, establishing the beat's dark, intense energy. Minaj kicks off the lyrical intensity with, "I am not Jasmine, I am Aladdin/ So far ahead, these bums is laggin'/ See me in that new thing, bums is gaggin,'/ I'm startin' to feel like a dungeon dragon."
The Young Money spitter continues, vanquishing haters with bars such as "I'm a bad bitch, I'm a cu--/ And I'll kick that ho, punt/ Forced trauma, blunt/ You play the back, bitch, I'm in the front." Minaj gruffly barks out the chorus, "Ruh, ruh, like a dungeon dragon," and then Shady joins in.
"You don't like it then peel off, bitch/ Every last woman on Earth I'll kill off, and I still wouldn't f--- you, slut/ So wipe the smile on your grill off/ I swear to God I'll piss a Happy Meal off," he spits, charging onto the track with more of the unsettling witticisms typical of his deranged, and sometimes violent, Shady persona. Em continues to bug out, calling life a "dumb, blonde white broad" who he eventually ties up and urinates on.
Minaj jumps back in with more incisive lyrics, including a few lines that could be construed as a dig at Brooklyn femcee Lil' Kim, who publicly took issue with the Young Money diva earlier this year.
"Word, that bitch mad 'cause I took the spot? Well, bitch, if you ain't sh------, then get off the pot/ Got some n----- out in Brooklyn that'll off your top," Minaj rhymes.
MTV News' Hottest MC takes his second verse to denounce critics of his comeback, spitting, "Yeah, look who's back again, bitch/ Keep actin' as if/ You have the same passion that I have." After proclaiming he's more "hungry" than rap foes who've "had gastric bypass," Em challenges haters to take some risks.
"Go take a flyin' leap of faith off a f------ balcony," he spits. "[Before] I shove a falcon wing up your fly ass."
Minaj closes the track by invoking Roman's horrified mother, a newly minted character the Young Money Barbie said would be introduced on Friday.
When Minaj revealed to MTV News during her "RapFix Live" interview that she, or more accurately, her rambunctious British alter ego, Roman, would be going bar-for-bar with one of hip-hop's legendary personas, fans knew the resulting track would be an instant must-hear. However, the lyricist said the collaboration took a while to come to fruition.
"We went out on a whim and put it in the air like, 'It'd be great if he would collaborate with us,' " Minaj said."I remember I kept talking about it, and I thought, 'It can't hurt.' I sent him one record, and he didn't love it. He didn't say, 'I don't love it'; he just said, 'Can you send me something that's a little more me?' I sent him an e-mail and thanked him for that, just having enough respect. Sometimes people don't respond. He had the respect, at least, to treat me like a peer."
