Michael Jackson: Wonderland VIDEO TOUR of the Las Vegas 'Wonderland Estate' dream home that MJ wanted to buy to replace Neverland

Michael Jackson never wanted to return to Neverland Ranch. He's been repeatedly quoted as saying so to credible sources and reporters. Now that he's dead, his family is split about where to bury him -- should he be give a memorial plot at Forrest Lawn cemetery, taken back to Neverland where the location could become a tourist destination, roadside attraction, and celebrity shrine -- or, one better... could the family purchase Michael Jackson's dream home estate just outside Las Vegas and erect a burial monument there where the star's ghost could relax in the afterlife in a place with no bad memories and a convenient location to visit other celebrities (alive or dead) who have ongong acts at local Vegas reviews?

MJ wanted to call the sprawling estate "Wonderland".
Here's the celebrity shopping news.

MICHAEL JACKSON SOUGHT TO CREATE WONDERLAND AS REPLACEMENT HOME FOR NEVERLAND

The details of the scoop about the Wonderland Estate and Michael Jackson's home shopping experience are being released slowly but surely. According to Splash News, "Michael Jackson desperately wanted to buy a sprawling Las Vegas estate that he planned to call 'Wonderland', it has been claimed. The cash-strapped singer is said to have fallen in love with the 10-acre property, which boasts secret tunnels, a 20-car garage and a waterfall in the garden."



However, rumor circulating through the real estate offices in the neighborhoods back then indicated Jackson couldn't yet afford the $25 million property's high market value price tag. According to the report, MJ he hoped his comeback gigs at London's 02 Arena would leave him with enough cash to snap it up - after he abandoned his beloved Californian Neverland ranch.



In a feature interview, real estate agent Zar Zanganeh, the person who actually took Michael Jackson on a tour of the ultra-luxe Vegas grand palace-like home said: "He loved it. He said he could do anything he wanted there, like in Neverland." Zanganeh added he gave Jacko and his children a tour of the 10-bedroom, 19-bathroom home in 2007. He said that his kids, Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11 and Blanket seven, were especially fond of the 1,000-square-foot secret play area tucked under the waterfall.














According to the real estate files from and about the house's previous residents, the play space was built by the owner, casino developer Gary Primm, for his own children.



If you want to know more about the house itself, here's the amenities specs from SPLASH's Gavin Wilson, celebrity news writer: The house also features a cinema, an indoor pool and a barber's chair in the master bedroom, as well as a horse stable and an air-conditioned "doggie hotel." There are also two underground tunnels - one leading to the garage and the other to a shooting range that Jackson hoped to convert into a music studio.

We think the recently deceased star would have been quite happy there... what do you think? Leave your comments and share your thoughts on MJ moving -- and more... should the family now consider buying Wonderland and burying the celeb pop king there instead of Neverland Ranch or Forrest Lawn Estates and turn the location into a tourist attraction and memorial shrine like Graceland to being more money to help support the family and children and to bring much needed dollars and visitors to the Vegas area on travel vacations?

Recently Deceased: New update on the Will and and the last wishes of famous blonde model Farrah Fawcett

Farrah Fawcett was very ill in her final years and months. Farrah lost her famous blonde locks due to cancer treatment. However, the celeb did not seen to loose control of her mental faculties as time withered down. Fawcett made some very important decisions regarding her money and her estate, and many people are questioning her thinking by leaving almost all her money to criminal jailbird son Redmond in her Will while leaving clinger beau Ryan O'Neil entirely out.



FARRAH'S LAST WISHES: SANITY OR MANIPULATED?

Some folks are saying that Farrah was blinded by the love for her son. Others are claiming the child exercised undue manipulation on his mom during her final years, as he matured and took on more and more attribute of a charming (albeit drugged out) prince.

Farrah really left the estate provisions in strong stead, with trustees designated to dole out the proceeds to Red in limited amounts. Further, she made provisions for him to be able to buy his own house. That, to this writer, sounds both sane and logical -- not necessarily indulgent at all.

There's even further proof that the actress was not overly charmed or "glamored" like a True Blood Vamp by her over-indulged son Redmond -- because Fawcett also left money to Texas University which was her alma mater. However, it is unknown at this time exactly how much.




OTHER PLACES FARRAH LEFT HER MONEY IN THE WILL

Since everything is always bigger in Texas (including the reputation of the beloved and recently deceased star herself), it's expected that whatever the amount, the TU staff and students appreciate her thoughtfulness very much and will certainly be giving her a shout out in alumni newsletters from here to come whenever her name comes up.

And even though the blonde bombshell starlet never reallllllly did anything huge or mattered in society (in many people's opinion -- with the exception of starring in "The Burning Bed" and giving ideas to many battered women), somehow the ex-wife of Lee Majors still managed to make a major big difference in 20th century pop cultural trends and fashion. As such, she will forever remain that beautiful 'girl next door' Playboy model and urban legend because of her revealing pics and perfect naked images.

More details from Farah Fawcett’s Will have surfaced on the Internet, showing that the Pin-up girl celebrity and famous 'Foxy Corvette' driver intentionally excluded long time on again off again paramour Ryan O’Neal completely from her will. It looks like jailbird junkie son Redmond gets almost everything, sired by these celebrity Odd Couple live-in lover union.

Celebrity OOPS: Ryan O'Neil sure goofed up

(because Farrah Fawcett intentionally left him out of her will)

RYAN O'NEIL LEFT OUT OF FARRAH FAWCETT WILL

Having created so much heartache for the beautiful TV actress and famous model is one of the biggest Celebrity OOPS in the world. Why in the world, with such a lovely blonde clearly head over heels in love with you, would you ever do anything to hurt that sort of woman? Apparently it has not paid off, because O'Neil did it and not only has it cost him in reputation and status, but he seem's to have rolled the dice and lost all of the money in the world (in this case, the funds Farrah would have left him in her will. [What a dipshi*.]



PROVISIONS OF FARRAH FAWCETT WILL: LEAVE RYAN ONEIL O-U-T!

History of a rocky relationship apparently took it's toll on the lovely Miss Farrah Fawcett of the flowing golden locks. What goes around comes around int his Karmic Blunder story about a girl, her boy, and a dog.





WHAT RYAN GOT FROM FARRAH IN THE FINAL HOUR

Ryan O'Neil? BUSTED! By the letter of the law in the legal document's estate and trust terms, he's left out in the cold -- but we'll expect he'll make his own fortune writing tell all books and selling off her memento stuff he's collected over the years that now belongs to him as personal stuff. Too bad he jerked out on the star. We bet he's having life activity OOPS remorse now for sure.

There is no question about it, either. Farrah knew she had an illness that was most likely going to be terminal. She was in her right mind up until the very end. At any time she could have brought in attorney's to change the will provisions or had a judge come in to marry she and O'Neil. It's not like she just up and died like celebrity singing star Michael Jackson, whose family is now having one of their only members who has no vested interest in losing the fortune contest his state of mind in order that they can change the allocation of the finance terms (if they successfully have him declared unfit). Farrah left out Ryan, period -- and that's it.

[You could almost hear her blowing a big raspberry in his direction and see him play slapping him on the arm with a latent bit of passive aggressive female aggression.]

Celebrities Gone Wild: 'Transformers' actress and Pin-up Girl Next Door model Megan Fox caught in celebrity sex tape scandal at Comic Con

Actress Megan Fox caught on film at Comic Con convention handy-cam celebrity sex tape scandal? Nope. Good celebrity news about the pin-up model is she has protected her good girl image. But you can't really blame a guy for asking considering her ultra-sexy mannerisms and sultry exotic looking woman appeal. This ultimate Transformer movie series girl next door is drop dead gorgeous, that's for sure, making her an easy target to become the focus of any sex tape urban legend of celebrity stalker.



FAST FORWARD TO THEN REWIND THE GOOD PARTS OF THE TAPE

Here's the scoop. The Comic-Con International convention was staged in San Diego, and over 125,000 comic book devotees were able to come face-to-face with starlets such as Scarlett Johansson (blonde bombshell starlet wife of uber-hunk and probable sex god Ryan Reynolds of Hugh Jackman's Wolverine) and Cameron Diaz (of Demi Moore's Charlie's Angels, playing a spoof character of the role previously played by recently deceased actress Farrah Faucett -- America's number one favorite Pin-up girl and Playboy centerfold of all time).

According to Courrier.au.com, the story goes something like this...

[Comic Con] is the Cannes Film Festival for fans," said Hollywood super producer Joel Silver, who with Robert Downey Jr and Rachel McAdams, showed clips and held a panel discussion for their new film, Sherlock Holmes, in front of 6000 Comic-Con fans on Friday. It is a place to go for genre and commercial fare. You sit in that hall with 6000 people and you know if your movie is going to work. This year, Johansson was the headliner, promoting Iron Man 2, but it was an appearance by Megan Fox which had the geeks talking after one fan approached the star during a Q&A to promote her new supernatural western Jonah Hex. "My question is for Megan," the man said. "I have a Sony HVR (video camera). It's not a true HD, but it gives a pretty good image. Anyway, my question is: I just graduated film school and I'm trying to help my career. I was wondering if you'd be interested in some kind of, like, celebrity sex tape?" With that, a couple of security guards grabbed the fella and took him to an undisclosed location.



CELEBRITY STALKER DRAGGED FROM COMIC CON BY SECURITY

With that, Fox's co-star, Josh Brolin, quipped (as the man was dragged away), "Dude, I can't wait to see what you look like in 30 minutes". Somehow, we don't think that's the quite the same kind of pounding this celebrity stalker was looking for when he propositioned our favorite pin-up girl.

We don't have the aspiring film makers name yet who made this Celebrity OOPS maneuver, but we're willing to bet his films won't be on the big screen as blockbuster hits any time soon.

Bad form, dude... asking a girl to make a sex tape on any first meeting, stalker or not, when it comes to VIP red carpet events and general dating or social etiquette is simply bad form.



What's your take on the celebrity sex tape scandal situation. Do you think Megan is going to be able to keep her looks and her good girl image with all this attention or will she succumb to the dark side of the Hollywood force that gets the best of so many of Hollywood's brightest young starlets and handsome hunk celebrities who resort to using flashes of skin and revealing pics to get their names in the news with XXX regularity? Share your tastefully wordes comments below -- and yes, out of respect for Miss Fox, they will be edited to PG-13 commentary.

MJ Sightings: Woman claims Michael Jackson Ghost saved her from car accident

Robert Plant, who was involved with a serious auto accident in July of 2009, is not the only legendary performance artist to be making special celebrity guest star appearances at car crash scenes and wrecks around the world. Apparently, the ghost of recently deceased singer Michael Jackson is also on the loose and making a celeb appearance peering into car windows along the roadsides of a highway near you.

OTHER CELEBRITY CAR CRASH OFF-BEAT NEWS

In other weird celebrity news involving accidents, last week Ivana Janecek, aged 22, from London (UK) reported to very reliable news sources *cough* that the ghost of Michael Jackson saved her life.

Yep. Right after the ghost got through helping the gal avoid the crash, he flew back to the United States to try to recapture and sew back on his shadow that is apparently darting quickly about at Neverland Ranch.

See Video of Michael Jackson's Ghost from Larry King's Live Report

MICHAEL JACKSON'S GHOST SAVES WOMAN FROM FATAL CAR ACCIDENT

According to AllNewsWeb.com, Janecek wrote in to share her car accident story of the paranormal, claiming:

‘I have always been a big fan of Michael Jackson and of course was devastated when he died. I felt the world lost someone very special too soon.’

‘Yesterday I was running to get home in time for an engagement. I foolishly ran to cross a street in order to get on a bus. As I ran onto the road I clearly saw Michael on the other side he was wearing a typical outfit, his smile, hair, it was him.’

‘I stopped immediately in shock a few meters from edge of the road and a speeding car skidded just in front of me and then moved on. I looked across the road and Michael was gone. If he hadn’t been there I know that car would have hit me.’

‘I really believe Michael Jackson saved my life.’

So, that brings us to the question of the day--who do you consider more of a music legend? Cast your vote in the comments section below for Robert Plant, famous heavy metal and alternative classic rock music legend or the King of Pop Michael Jackson.

FOR THE RECORD: We're in the Zeppelin camp when it comes to voting for the music that moves our soul the most (metaphysically speaking), but the Jackson camp when it comes to mending a color divide in American society.

While it is true that the Neverland home featured many nude figures in it's art permanently affixed collection (as indoor paintings, freezes and wall art carvings, and outdoor sculptures of both male and female images in various states of full nudity or partially undressed), none look more graphic or prophetic a scene as the one shown here in the picture of the gold gilded frame painting of a famous political historical figure celebrity deathbed scene seen to the left.

The painting's title? "Cleopatra's Last Moments". The "high end collectible items only" auction house disclosure where Michael Jackson first bought the art described it as follows:

D. Pauvert (French, 19th/20th Century). "Cleopatra's Last Moments", oil on canvas, signed and dated 1892. Provenance: Sotheby's, New York, May 23, 1996, Lot 96.

When the Neverland Ranch items were scheduled to go up for auction back when the star was struggling financially and losing the home, this painting was included as one to be sold off on the aution block, with an appraisal estimated value of $30,000 - $50,000.

When Michael Jackson's last moments came true as an unexpected and early death, he, too, was bed ridden and surrounded by people who knew him intimately but were of questionable judgment and unable to protect him from death. Odd coincidence or early prediction? We don't know. But whatever the case, the Cleopatra storyline painting as a memorabilia artifact once owned by Michael Jackson and displayed in his personal home at Neverland in sunny California is certainly worth discussion and a public feature show.

What are your thoughts? Do you suppose Jackson already had a vague sense of what was coming, and perhaps was drawn to this graphic untimely death image based on his intuition? Would you love a piece of art like this in your home or would the subject matter be too controversial for you to want to add it in to your interior decorating schematic?

Celebrity Estates: Michael Jackson's dream home; nicknamed 'Wonderland', Las Vegas estate could be perfect compromise MJ Shrine spot burial location

Realtor Zar Zanganeh, who in 2007 gave Jackson and his three children the grand tour of the 10-bedroom, 19-bath mansion, told the Post, ""He loved it. He said he could do anything he wanted there like in "Neverland," but that the star, struggling financially at the time, could not manage to muster up the cash for the $25 million dollar price tag.

With controversy about the Jackson surviving family members entrenched in debate over where to bury Michael Jackson's body, we have a suggestion for an easy solution.

The MJ memorial problem is this: MJ sold Neverland Ranch and the current owners and neighbors do not want the Jackson family or devoted fans of the pop star in the neighborhood. MJ expressed while he was alive that he never wanted to return to the estate again due to the celebridy sex scandal and accusations involving homosexual activity and child molestation. Father Joe Jackson and several of the Jackson family kids want to purchase Neverland back and create an Elvis "Graceland" style estate where they can bury the pop star and his fans can come to pay graveside tribute. Other more caring relatives not in the stars life just for the celebrity fame and luxury lifestyle cash want MJ to be buried at Forrest Lawn Estates, a celebrity burial ground that offers serene afterlife protection from emotional distress for the deceased star -- especially if the ghost of Michael Jackson as a Peter Pan shadow is already reported to be stuck hanging around and haunting Neverland Ranch.

The solution that could work for all involved: If the Jackson Estate pulled together a group of investors and could rally the $25m to purchase the luxury Nevada estate and actually formally named the place "Wonderland", they could create a place where Michael Jackson's ghost could haunt where he could also easily entertain. Located just outside the popular tourist attraction Las Vegas, the home would have been a natural place for an aging Jackson to raise his family in private while scooting into the city to do a little weekly entertainment or night shows (like so many stars in the past have done while staying active in the mild warm climate though years they would have otherwise been in retirement). Now, however, the lot offers location, location, location -- and the space the Jackson family would need to create a shrine to the superstar that would be easy for visitors to access even on a quick gambling jaunt weekend to the Vegas strip -- and they would not be bothering the disgruntled Cali neighbors. Even better, with no lingering bad memories and wonder story leftovers about, "I wonder if he molested kids HERE in this room", "Did he sleep with kids in the bed here?", or HIStory rumors, the new estate would offer a bedrock version of a clean slate estate.

What's your thoughts about giving MJ a proper burial at a place he loved that would also be a good tourist traffic destination? Leave your remarks below in the comments section.
