Sometimes I Think MJ's Family is Just Greedy....

Apparently back in 1984, Michael Jackson gave his hand and foot imprints for a Hotel project in Vegas...but something happened and the "walk of fame" idea was never used...so MJ's imprints were stashed away until this guy (Andy Wilson) bought it...(head over to TMZ.com for the original story).

So anyway...now MJ's family want to claim it, saying it rightfully belongs to his estate...and told Wilson that they will buy it for $25,000 plus part of any profits they make off of merchandising the imprints.  So, in other words....they only want it so they can sell it.

I respect MJ and his family legacy...but, to me, sometimes it just comes off like his family is always trying to get money off of him...smh.

And the Checks Keep Coming...Nicki Minaj is Now a Barbie

According to TMZ.com, Nicki Minaj and Katie Perry are the new addition to Mattel's barbie doll collection:
Sources close to the plastic factory tell TMZ ... Mattel has already begun production on a Nicki doll and and a Katy doll. 

We're told Nicki's doll will include "every signature detail, right down to the tattoo on Nicki's left arm."

The Nicki doll will be available on Dec. 7 -- and proceeds will benefit the Project Angel Food organization.
If the doll includes every signature detail...I wonder if it'll be toting a backside full of that super bass!  We'll have to wait and see....
