For $150 a ticket, 你 can pay tribute to Michael Jackson on the one 年 anniversary of his death ... at the swanky Beverly Hilton Hotel. Problem is ... the event is not sanctioned 由 the people who control all things MJ.
"Forever Michael" is being thrown 由 The Jackson Family Foundation and VoicePlate.com. Joseph Fahmy, the guy who runs VoicePlate, tells TMZ Joe and Katherine Jackson, along with Michael's 3 kids are expected to attend. But sources connected with the family tell us ... Katherine and the kids won't even be in town on June 26 -- the 日 of the event.
According to the VoicePlate website, "A portion of the proceeds for this event will be presented to some of Michael Jackson's 最喜爱的 charities at the event." As for what portion goes to charity and where the rest of the money goes ... Fahmy wouldn't say, although he did tell us he just hopes to break even.
And there's this ... Fahmy says Jackson songs will be sung the entire evening. It's all news to the Michael Jackson estate. Howard Weitzman, lawyer for the estate, tells TMZ, "No one ever contacted the Estate to see whether 或者 not they would approve, participate in, 或者 allow the use of Michael's name, likeness, image 或者 intellectual property for this event."
Caveat emptor.

The Michael Jackson estate just laid the 拍击, smack, 味道 down on a bunch of Michael Jackson wannabes -- all over access to Neverland.
The wannabes are actually in a Michael Jackson tribute band named "Neverland" -- a name the MJ estate feels is a violation of its trademark.
Long story short -- the MJ estate wrote a scary legal letter demanding the band change its name ... and it did ... to Foreverland.
Here's the catch -- "Foreverland" still owns the rights to the domain name neverlandsf.com -- and its willing to give it back to Camp Jackson ... for a cool $30,000.
In short, the Jackson estate told the band to "beat it" -- and gave them until February 2011 to begin forwarding all web traffic to the new foreverlandsf.com ... 或者 else.
The band tells us they're currently going over their options.
"Lawyers from the Jackson estate have forced us to change our name."

You're dancing through the 日
You're grabbing for the magic on the run
You're a whole new generation
You're lovin' what 你 do
Put a Pepsi in the motion
That choice is up to 你

Hey-hey
You're the Pepsi Generation
Guzzle down and
Taste the thrill of the 日
And feel the Pepsi way
Taste the thrill of the 日
And feel the Pepsi way
You're a whole new generation [x3]

She's out of my life
She's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh 或者 cry
I don't know whether to live 或者 die
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
She's out of my hands
So I've learned that love's not possession
And I've learned that 爱情 won't wait
Now I've learned that 爱情 needs expression
But I learned too late
And she's out of my life
She's out of my life
Damned indecision and cursed pride
I kept my 爱情 for her locked deep inside
And It cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
Ooo

To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted I was so cavalier
Now the way that it stands
She's out of my hands
So I've learned that love's not possession
And I've learned that 爱情 won't wait
Now I've learned that 爱情 needs expression
But I learned too late
And she's out of my life
She's out of my life
