The best song ever about a homicidal pet rat.

The LA Times has a nice collection of photos of fan tributes and grief on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and outside of Jackson's home.

Did Michael Jackson leave his rights to the Beatles' catalog to Paul McCartney in his will?

Cocaine Blunts offers two high profile unreleased rap collabs. One with LL and another with Run DMC, which apparently didn't happen because a falling out related to "dinner and a monkey."

Nah Right has a map of MJ samples in hip-hop.

VH1 Classic is running nothing but MJ videos today through the weekend.
