Executors for Michael Jackson’s estate have signed a huge deal with Cirque du Soleil. The show will travel throughout North America including the Staples Center in L.A., with it’s premier beginning in the fall of 2011.
In 2012, a second show in partnership with MGM MIRAGE will open in Las Vegas.
Sources say the shows will be worth a fortune to the estate. Cirque and the estate will split costs and profits 50-50.

Dr. Conrad Murray appeared in court today for a hearing in his involuntary manslaughter case.
Judge Michael Pastor was assigned to be the newly presiding judge in his case. He scheduled Murray’s next court appearance for June 14, 2010, when a date is expected to be set for a preliminary hearing, during which the judge will determine if there is enough evidence to require him to stand trial.
