In other Michael Jackson news, the singer’s family is reportedly taking legal steps to ensure their right to take action against those who published photos of the pop star in his deceased state.Through his lawyer, Jackson’s father, Joe Jackson, has filed papers asking a court to acknowledge the Jackson family’s right to sue news outlets that published the photos.
