I think it's strange that b.b. Simon is somewhat relating to Simon Cowell (by name) on American Idol... <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->

Will the Estate sue Katherine Jackson who claimed through her representatives claimed of authorized this belt production? We don't know, that's not yet decided.

What is happened here is that Jackson's parents, Katherine and Joe Jackson, had made a deal with a designer, someone who Michael Jackson had bought things from before, and they designed a belt, a really snazzy looking crystal encrusted belt. And they wanted to make 7000 of them and sell them for about $1500 a piece. The primary belt, the artist proof belt, they had signed by the Jackson parents plus Michael's three kids - Blanket Paris Prince. Really interesting and one of a kind item surely. It was supposed to go on auction tonight, that single belt. But then the Estate said: "You know we never authorized that". Katherine Jackson supposedly, according to the designer of the belt and the company making them, told them that she did get authorization from the Estate. Problem is, according to the Estate, another company had merchandise rights, Bravado, and they may object to these belts so we don't know if they're going to be sold or not but we're watching.
Just something I noticed in the pic about the belts, the guy wearing a shirt with fleur-de-lis on it. Wasn't there another place this same flower was shown or mentioned also? This from Wikipedia re fleur-de-lis:
Symbolism in religion and art
Fleur-de-lis on 14th century Syrian albarello.In the Middle Ages the symbols of lily and fleur-de-lis (lis is French for "lily") overlapped considerably in religious art. Michel Pastoureau, the historian, says that until about 1300 they were found in depictions of Jesus, but gradually they took on Marian symbolism and were associated with the Song of Solomon's "lily among thorns" (lilium inter spinas), understood as a reference to Mary. Other scripture and religious literature in which the lily symbolizes purity and chastity also helped establish the flower as an iconographic attribute of the Virgin.
In medieval England, from the mid-12th century, a noblewoman's seal often showed the lady with a fleur-de-lis, drawing on the Marian connotations of "female virtue and spirituality".[23] Images of Mary holding the flower first appeared in the 11th century on coins issued by cathedrals dedicated to her, and next on the seals of cathedral chapters, starting with Notre Dame de Paris in 1146. A standard portrayal was of Mary carrying the flower in her right hand, just as she is shown in that church's Virgin of Paris statue (with lily), and in the centre of the stained glass rose window (with fleur-de-lis sceptre) above its main entrance. The flowers may be "simple fleurons, sometimes garden lilies, sometimes genuine heraldic fleurs-de-lis".[15] As attributes of the Madonna, they are often seen in pictures of the Annunciation, notably in those of Sandro Botticelli and Filippo Lippi. Lippi also uses both flowers in other related contexts: for instance, in his Madonna in the Forest.
The three petals of the heraldic design reflect a widespread association with the Holy Trinity, with the band on the bottom symbolizing Mary. The tradition says that without Mary you can not understand the Trinity since it was she who bore The Son.[24] a tradition going back to 14th century France,[4] added onto the earlier belief that they also represented faith, wisdom and chivalry.
"Flower of light" symbolism has sometimes been understood from the archaic variant fleur-de-luce (see Latin lux, luc- = "light"), but the Oxford English Dictionary suggests this arose from the spelling, not from the etymology.[25]
