More drama in the Jackson Family

DEA Agent Talks… Pharmacy Raid




Welcome to Friday, this simply means someone connected to the Michael Jackson death investigation are sure to be served with a search warrant or an accusation.

On Friday the unlucky recipient, Beverly Hills' Mickey Fine Pharmacy, where Drug Enforcement Administration agents turned up this afternoon in their quest to point a definitive finger at any doctor or dispensary who had a hand in Jackson's death.

The pharmacy, which not so coincidentally shares real estate with the King of Pop's embattled, possibly malpractice-facing dermatologist Dr. Arnold Klein, has been extensively used by Jackson and his doctors and even filed suit against the star back in 2007 over an unpaid tab of nearly $100,000. So, I don’t know, if someone owed me a $100,000, I’d probably restrain on giving them additional prescriptions, but what do I know??

DEA spokesman Jose Martinez said officials were seeking evidence of "improper dispensing of controlled substances" from Mickey Fine, which has long serviced the star.
Agents searched for about five hours and left carrying at least one box full of records.
As it happens, Jackson business was being taken care of on two fronts today. While the search went down this afternoon, yet another hearing took place across town, where a judge signed off on a planned three-city tour of Jackson memorabilia.

AEG struck an exclusive $6 million deal with Jackson's estate administrators to put on the tour, but attorneys for Jackson's mother, Katherine, had argued that AEG wasn't maximizing the profitability of such a tour if other promoters had been allowed to bid on its rights. Are you kidding me, they are touring MJ’s items and the family is worried that they may not get enough money? WTF?

The show will kick off at London's O2 Arena toward the end of October, when the concert film, This Is It, is to open in theaters for a two-week limited engagement.
