Michael Jackson is still the world’s highest-earning dead celebrity. Forbes released the information on how Jackson amassed nearly half a billion dollars in income in 2017. Thanks to the sale of his EMI Music Publishing stake along with the Michael Jackson Halloween special, his Mijac Music catalogue, the King of Pop is still creating generational wealth. John Branca, the Jackson estate’s co-executor said, “You see Charlie Brown Christmas and Charlie Brown Thanksgiving every year, so now we’re looking to have Michael Jackson’s Halloween every year. We hope that it’ll become evergreen.” RELATED: Remember When Michael Jackson Fired Somebody While On-Stage?

Earlier this week, Kourtney Kardashian disclosed that there was a small-kinda-maybe possibility that she would get back together with her baby daddy Scott Disick. “We’re not getting back together right now, but I don’t know what the future holds in life, in God’s plan,” she said on the Today show. But while the future could be (maybe, possibly) Scott, her present is all about having fun with a younger, hotter douchebag: Justin Bieber. A source in the know tells People that the mother of three “is dating a bit and having fun ,” although it’s “nothing serious.” Kourtney has been on-and-off hooking up with the Biebs since late last year, and it seems to be a mutually beneficial arrangement. You see, Kourt is really just using the pop star to make Scott jelly (and satisfy her womanly needs as well, obvi), and that’s all good with Justin. In fact, he may be playing the same game with his ex Selena Gomez, who is waffling on the idea of getting back together with the singer and is rumored to be dating Charlie Puth . Let’s go over the players in this little love hexagon, just for funsies, shall we? A couple new names might appear, but just roll with it. Kourtney loves Scott, but he’s supposedly living with Christine Burke . Justin loves Selena, but she is currently bumping uglies with Charlie Puth. Justin loves Hailey Baldwin , too, but that’s probably over. So, while it’s on like Donkey Kong for Kourt and Justin at the moment, eventually she’ll wind up with Scott and he’ll get back with Selena, which leaves Hailey and Charlie in the dust. Unless the two of them hook up, and thus completes the circle of life. So beautiful. View Slideshow: 37 Photos of Kourtney Kardashian Showing Scott Disick What He’s Missing

It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! Oh, wait, it’s just Kylie Jenner in an orange wig. We’re guessing it’s a wig, anyway, since the youngest Jenner recently said she ” started wigs ” in the latest issue of Marie Claire . “I started wigs, and now everyone is wearing wigs,” she said. “[Kim Kardashian] just used my wig guy last night.” She’s a real trailblazer, that one. Anyhoo, the famed Coachella music festival is this weekend, an event where youngsters are free to dye their hair crazy colors and dress in feathered bikini tops even if they’re not an actual hipster most of the time. Kylie’s already rocked blue, green, blue-green, pink and blond hair, so this year, she is truly venturing out of the box by going with orange. She calls it peach, but we’re sticking to the basics. Earlier this year, Kylie admitted that she destroyed her hair with bleach from dying it so much, so we’re never really sure if we’re seeing Kylie’s real hair or not. While Kylie is wigging out at the ‘ella, her big sis Kim might be in the next tent getting her smoke on. Why would we say that?! Well, a few days ago, Kim released her list of festival essentials, which included a weed pipe disguised as a cigarette. And when she sees Kylie’s new hair, we suspect she’ll need that one-hitter more than ever. View Slideshow: 13 Photos of Kylie Jenner Looking Gorgeous Without Makeup!
On Shahs of Sunset Season 4 Episode 15, the Bravo show featured cast members coming together to reunite … and rehash, and reopen old wounds. Watch Shahs of Sunset Season 4 Episode 15 Online Oh yes, there was plenty to cover on Shahs of Sunset Season 4 Episode 15 . So much so that we don’t even know where to begin at this point. Perhaps the #1 takeaway when you watch Shahs of Sunset online will be Mike Shouhed confronted about – and denying – cheating on his wife. It has long been rumored that Mike banged GG’s sister, and that the banging took place on the very day he got engaged to Jessica Parido. He denied this, saying she came with him to go “suit shopping.” At this, GG was incredulous, saying that someone required “another nose job” because their current one “might be growing like Pinocchio.” Reza Farahan was also pretty irate when he heard this. “Mike, be accountable, stop being the f–king victim,” Reza said. “Oh my god, I can’t…I can’t breathe, it’s really hot and I’m overheating.” Reza also mocked Jessica for converting religions for Mike, then slammed Mike for not making any effort to become friends with the crew. During a break in the action, but with cameras still rolling, the two men berated each other in Farsi, with Mike even threatening to kill Reza. On a lighter note (literally!) … Reza, 42, claimed to have lost 30 lbs., while GG, 33, is “extremely happy” with the new breasts she bought. “They’re really soft Andy, you want to touch them?” GG half-seriously asked Andy Cohen, while MJ then got into heavier (literally!) issues. When MJ said Asa Rahmati was lying about her weight being 170 lbs., Asa said she should be supported for going public with that total. The group then discussed how Reza had picked MJ as his maid of honor in Thailand … that is before postponing his wedding indefinitely. This devolved into an epic fight involving MJ and Asifa, with whom, “I’ve been dealing with this bulls–t from this toxic b-tch for so f–king long.” “You are still an evil person inside,” Asifa responded, while MJ said: “I don’t respect you, so I don’t care what your opinion of me is.” Good stuff. As for the status of Reza and his fiance Adam? “We’re in a really good place now,’ he said, admitting he is flawed and calling off the wedding was the hardest thing he had ever done in his life. Still, he says, he’s glad he did so because of where they are now, which is living together and having sex the night before the taping, evidently. They’re still getting hitched, he promises, at some point. View Slideshow: 23 Biggest Douchebags on Reality TV
Talk about a giant meltdown, Charlie Brown! Peter Robbins – a child actor who voiced the beloved Peanuts character in a series of television specials – ranted and raved in court last Friday against his own attorney, the judge and a bailiff in a bizarre tirade that was video camera. “I hope you drop dead of a heart attack!” Robbins yelled at San Diego Superior Court judge Robert O’Neill during Friday's hearing. The 58-year old pleaded guilty in 2013 to threatening his girlfriend and stalking the plastic surgeon who performed a boob job on her. Robbins was subsequently arrested on a number of probation violations, including drinking and cutting off his GPS monitor. He was sentenced to five years probation and ordered into a live-in drug treatment program. On Friday, in court for a hearing to determine if he ought be jailed for violating probation, Robbins totally lost it. As you can see above, he cursed off the judge and mocked his own lawyer. “He’s rubbing me up, he’s got a gun!” Robbins also said of a bailiff who touched him. “Run for your lives, he has a gun – run for your lives!” As a result of this breakdown, a mental competency hearing has been ordered for Robbins.
Chris Brown and Tyga, music industry stars and bros forever, recently collaborated … on a play date with his daughter Royalty and his son King. Now that sounds like a regal day of fun if ever there were one! In March, news broke that Chris Brown is a father to a nearly one-year-old girl named Royalty, whose mom is former model Nia Guzman-Amey. While Nia’s pregnancy and birth were secret – Chris’ (now ex-) girlfriend Karrueche Tran found out after we did – he’s been gushing ever since. Royalty has been a visible part of Brown’s life, as fans know, and he even wants Guzman to move out to L.A. from Houston to keep it that way. He sure seems like he’s taking to fatherhood so far. Brown has posted Royalty pics left and right, and Friday, the R&B star had his first celebrity play date with rapper Tyga and his son King Cairo! While the latter is involved in a custody dispute with his baby mama, Tyga says Blac Chyna is just jealous of his underage girlfriend, Kylie Jenner. Tyga claims he’s a great father, and while one play date with Royalty and some Instagram pics don’t prove that case, they certainly don’t hurt it. His photo also shows what looks to be a large Charlie Brown character in the background, a nod to Chris’ nickname and love of the cartoon. In a brief video clip he posted, Tyga can also be heard telling King to “be nice” and “you gotta share” when things got a little heated. When you’re two years old, these things are tough. Breezy, meanwhile, also posted a snap of his baby girl cuddling with his mom, Joyce Hawkins, writing, “Grandma has taken over the house!” Say what you will about Chris and Tyga and their personal lives, but by all accounts they are treating their kids like … well, a King and Royalty.
