Michael Jackson's legacy is being resurrected by Pepsi in an upcoming ad campaign in which the King of Pop's image will appear on one billion cans, beginning in May.

The Pepsi deal was made with Jackson's estate, as the company is eager to capitalize on the 25th anniversary of Michael's multi-platinum BAD tour. The campaign will include live events, iconic music and digital opportunities for fans to get the special-edition merchandise.

The new agreement is surprising to some, in light of Jackson's shaky past with the soda maker. MJ starred in his first Pepsi campaign in 1983 and one year later, while filming another TV ad, the singer's hair caught fire in the now-infamous pyrotechnics accident.

The new campaign will premiere in China this Saturday, and will debut for the rest of the world at the end of this month.

Prince Michael Jackson is growing up before our eyes!

The King of Pop's 14-year-old son looked cool as a cucumber while hanging outside the family's house in Calabasas.

Prince and his siblings, Paris and Blanket, have been working hard on their acting skills over the past year.

With Paris currently filming the flick Lundon's Bridge and the Three Keys, perhaps Prince is getting ready for the spotlight!

The Holmby Hills house Michael Jackson passed away in has been placed back on the market for $23.9 million, and while the asking price may seem a bit high, let's not forget that the "elegant and sophisticated French Chateau estate" is a 17,000 square foot three-story structure that sits on approximately 1.26 acres!

The home boasts 7 bedrooms, 13 baths, a movie theater, wine cellar, tasting room, gym, an elevator and 12 working fireplaces. MJ didn't own the property, rather, the house was leased for him by concert promoter AEG Live prior to his string of comeback concerts in London. The property was previously listed in 2010 for $23.5 million.

Wonder who's gonna snap it up?

The Jackson family is heartbroken over the loss of Whitney Houston who passed away Saturday at the age of 48.

X17online has exclusively received the following statement from the family:

"We honor and celebrate the life of one of the world’s most gifted vocalist and talented entertainers, Whitney Houston.

Although we are all saddened by her sudden passing and will miss her, we respectfully ask everyone to please consider her family at this time of difficulty by granting them the patience and comfort they need to mourn their loss in peace."

Rihanna went to Cirque du Soliel's The Immortal performance in downtown Los Angeles Saturday -- a show honoring the King of Pop.

Just a day after Michael Jackson was immortalized on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood, with his kids pressing MJ's gloves and dancing shoes into the wet cement, the Cirque show opened for a limited run in LA's Staples Center, with many celebs in attendance.

Rihanna even wore a studded leather Jackson, reminiscent of Michael's Bad red leather jacket. The singer stopped to sign autographs for fans before heading in to see the show.

Brett Ratner is reportedly interested in making a movie that would show "the real" Michael Jackson, and he recently met with Frank Cascio, author of “My Friend Michael" and a longtime pal of the late King of Pop.

Cascio reportedly met Jackson in 1984 and became his assistant and eventually his manager, and his book documents the singer's highs and lows, including child molestation charges and prescription drug use. Ratner was also friends with Jackson, and a source close to the director tells NY Daily News that he has toyed around with the idea of making biopic on the singer for a while. At the time of Jackson's death, Ratner told the LA Times that he “was the most inspirational person in my life ... When you were with him, you really felt like God was within him.” Hmm...

Michael Jackson's family, including his three children, Paris, Prince and Michael, attended a handprint ceremony honoring the King of Pop in front of Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood today.

Justin Bieber and a handful of other celebs were on hand to show their support, and the family used MJ's shoes and a glove to make handprint and footprint impressions in the concrete. This is also part of the promotional tour for Cirque du Soleil's "Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour," which kicks off in LA Friday night. Good to see that his legacy still lives on!

Randy Jackson and the mother of his two children, Alejandra, faced off in an LA courtroom Friday morning over a $600k child support judgement that was awarded to her back in December 1990. The judge ended up siding with Randy.

In court, Alejandra had said her daughter was born in 1999, which would make her 13. However, Jackson's lawyers clarified the age. Since their youngest child, Genevieve, is 22 and an adult ... the judge didn't force Michael's brother to hand over any money, and instead, postponed the case until May 25.

Alejandra claims Randy has not paid his $1,200-a-month child support in years and as a result, the amount now exceeds $600k.

Randy filed a countersuit claiming that Alejandra agreed to a deal back in 1993 that would allow her to live comfortably at the Jackson Encino home instead of receiving payments. This included cooks, maids, food and use of luxury cars. In Randy's suit, it says Alejandra and her kids have lived "like kings and queens at Randy Jackson's expense."

A Jackson insider tells X17online exclusively:

"Randy is a great dad, and his kids are well taken care of. He's excited to get this over with and move on."

Randy never married Alejandra, but they had two children together. Alejandra then went ahead and married his brother Jermaine, against his will and knowledge ... and had two kids with him. Now, after almost two decades, we're told "she's after money from both brothers."
