    Ryan Vogt

    Published: Sun, Mar 31, 2013

    Objection! Too much controversy. Sustained. Michael Jackson's family want to haul Prince into court -- but not to settle once and for all whether the King of Pop was the greater of the onetime rivals, as their monikers imply. MJ's mom, Katherine Jackson, and his three kids (two of whom are...

    If Justin Bieber beat you up, would you admit it? For one of his neighbors in Calabasas, Calif., dropping the hammer on Justin is apparently worth the humiliation. Police went to JB's house to investigate after the "Baby" singer and a male neighbor got into it Tuesday morning, sources tell...
