Michael Jackson's estate reported about $20 million in benefits for his three children and his mother during 2024, according to an annual accounting obtained by TMZ.
The filing, submitted by executor John Branca, details spending for Prince Jackson, Paris Jackson, Bigi Jackson and Katherine Jackson, including bills paid on their behalf.
Prince's approximately $4.9 million tax bill accounted for most of his reported benefits.
Katherine's entries included $145 at Cordie Cakes, $242 for balloons and $400 for cleaning services.
Prince had the largest reported benefits total at approximately $6.4 million. Payments connected to a Chevron gas card were also listed among his expenses.

Barry Keoghan has built a career by choosing characters that are rarely easy to understand. The Irish actor can appear vulnerable in one film and deeply unsettling in the next, often bringing an unpredictable quality to his performances. His journey into acting was equally unconventional, beginning far from the traditional routes into the entertainment industry. A difficult childhood in Dublin shaped his early years, while an unexpected opportunity introduced him to acting. Since then, Keoghan has developed into an internationally recognized performer with roles spanning independent dramas, major blockbusters and psychological thrillers.
Born in Dublin, Keoghan experienced considerable instability while growing up. His mother struggled with drug addiction and died when he was young, and he and his brother spent several years in foster care before being raised largely by their grandmother and aunt. Despite his later success, Keoghan has spoken warmly about returning home and immediately slipping back into ordinary family life, joking that celebrity status does not excuse him from making his bed or cleaning up after himself.
His entrance into acting came almost by chance. As a teenager, Keoghan noticed a casting advertisement in a local shop window for the Irish crime film Between the Canals. He responded despite having little professional experience and eventually secured a role. Television work followed, including the Irish drama Love/Hate, helping him develop his craft and attract greater attention.
His international profile grew dramatically in 2017. Keoghan appeared in Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk as George Mills, a young civilian caught up in the evacuation of Allied soldiers from France. That same year, he delivered a very different performance opposite Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman in Yorgos Lanthimos's The Killing of a Sacred Deer. As the mysterious Martin, Keoghan demonstrated the unnerving screen presence that would become one of his greatest strengths.
Rather than remaining within one genre, he continued moving between dramatically different projects. He entered the Marvel universe as Druig in Eternals, appeared in The Green Knight and gained major acclaim for Martin McDonagh's The Banshees of Inisherin. His performance as Dominic Kearney earned him a BAFTA and an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

Sean "Diddy" Combs is headed back into solitary confinement, a day after a report described a prison life of massages, smuggled liquor, and contraband phones.
Staff at FCI Fort Dix are returning Combs to the facility's Special Housing Unit, according to TMZ, which was told the move came in direct response to this week's NBC News reporting on his alleged perks. Sources described the placement as typical procedure while prison officials run an investigation.
The report in question drew on four men who spent time in Combs' unit at the New Jersey prison. They said the mogul had other inmates making his bed, doing his laundry, and cleaning his toilet before he used it.
Sources also revealed to NBC News that inmates cooked for him on makeshift heating elements, turning out curry chicken, pizza and empanadas, and that others gave him Chinese-style massages. Thousands of dollars a month allegedly flowed into their commissary accounts.

Lyft, Inc. (NASDAQ:LYFT) has begun offering Waymo's fully autonomous robotaxi rides directly through its app in Nashville, marking the first market where Waymo vehicles can be booked through both the Waymo and Lyft apps. Lyft users requesting Standard, Priority Pickup, Wait & Save, or Extra Comfort rides within the designated Nashville service area can be matched with a Waymo vehicle at no additional cost.
The rollout also gives Lyft a larger role in the autonomous-vehicle ecosystem through its Flexdrive subsidiary, which will manage charging, cleaning and maintenance for Waymo's fleet. Reuters previously reported that the Nashville partnership was intended to become Waymo's first commercial deployment through Lyft's ride-hailing network.
paul-hanaoka-D-qq7W751vs-unsplash
The partnership could strengthen Lyft, Inc. (NASDAQ:LYFT)'s long-term position in a ride-hailing industry that is increasingly moving toward autonomous vehicles. Rather than spending heavily to develop its own robotaxi technology, Lyft can leverage Waymo's autonomous-driving capabilities while providing the customer base, app infrastructure, and fleet-management services needed to put those vehicles to work. This ****** et-light approach could allow Lyft to participate in the growth of robotaxis without bearing the enormous technological costs and risks ****** ociated with developing a self-driving system internally.
The bigger opportunity is Flexdrive. Lyft is not simply sending customers to Waymo; its subsidiary is taking responsibility for keeping Waymo vehicles operational in Nashville. Lyft says its new 80,000-square-foot facility will support more than 70 full-time positions and help optimize vehicle availability. If this operating model proves successful, Lyft could potentially become a valuable infrastructure and fleet-management partner as Waymo expands into additional markets. That would give Lyft another potential revenue opportunity beyond traditional ride commissions.

For nearly two minutes, one of the pilots of the Amazon cargo plane that careened off a Miami runway and killed five people repeatedly warned his counterpart they were going too fast as they approached for landing and after touchdown, according to flight information released Wednesday.
A summary of ******* pit voice recordings compiled by the National Transportation Safety Board said the fellow pilot never gave "a consistent verbal response" to the warnings. The plane touched down awkwardly, briefly attempted to take off and then smashed into a van carrying the five victims.
The Amazon plane came in fast on Sunday afternoon and then barreled roughly 1,300 feet (396 meters) past the end of the runway and smashed into a van carrying workers at a plane cleaning company before hitting a compact SUV as it slid across a public road before catching fire.
All five people who died were in the van. Five others were hurt, including two who remained in critical condition on Tuesday. The two pilots survived and were interviewed Wednesday by investigators.
At the point when the pilot first called out the plane was speeding, former FAA official Mike O'Donnell said the crew could have done a number of things to slow it down, including extending the spoilers, cutting the throttles and lowering the landing gear. Or the pilots could have just aborted the landing at that point and circled to try again.

Federal regulators said the two crew members aboard the Amazon cargo jet that crashed at Miami International Airport on Sunday survived the accident.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) provided the update during a Sunday press conference after officials said the cargo plane overran the runway and caught fire while landing. The crash killed five people and injured five others, authorities said Sunday.
The jet collided with two vehicles carrying at least eight occupants, according to NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy.
Seven of the victims were in a van that was struck and "torn apart" on airport grounds, Homendy said. The 2012 white Ford Econoline van was owned by Ocean Service Corporation, a contract cleaning company that provides services for airlines, she said.

JetBlue Airways (JBLU) is heading into a more significant phase of its comeback without one of the activist investors who helped alter its board.
Carl Icahn sharply cut his JetBlue position, selling roughly 8.13 million shares for about $40.4 million between Aug. 17 and Aug. 20, regulatory filings show. The transactions reduced the Icahn Group's interest to around 3.32%, or about 12.5 million shares, from over 10% when the activist investor initially revealed his position in 2024.
That's more than some spring cleaning.
Icahn's smaller stake fell below the amount needed to retain board presence at JetBlue. Jesse Lynn and Steven Miller, directors supported by Icahn, resigned both effective Aug. 24 after the group's ownership fell below the appropriate level, the airline said in an Aug. 27 filing with the SEC.
It is interesting timing for investors. JetBlue is aiming to show that its JetForward turnaround will restore sustainable profitability after years of strategic missteps, excessive expenses, and a failed attempt to combine with Spirit Airlines.

Joe Amabile paid a heartfelt tribute to his wife, Serena Pitt, on their anniversary as he continues to recover from brain tumor surgery. The former Bachelor in Paradise star praised his wife for supporting him through both the good and the difficult moments.
Joe, who became known as Grocery Store Joe during Season 14 of The Bachelorette, marked their three-year anniversary with a special post on September 2. The 40-year-old wrote on Instagram that Pitt is "the most beautiful, caring, perfect" person. "These past few months have been pretty tough, to say the least. You have been there with me every single step of the way, taking in all the good and the bad news. You cried alone in our bedroom because you didn't want to bring me down," the Dancing With the Stars alum expressed.
Continuing his post, Joe praised Serena for standing by him throughout his recovery. He said she took care of everything from cooking and cleaning to attending his doctor's appointments. She also managed his medications and woke up with him in the middle of the night. Joe said he felt incredibly lucky to have Serena as his wife, partner, and best friend. He ended the heartfelt message by telling her he loved her "forever and always."
Joe and Serena got engaged on Bachelor in Paradise season 7 in 2021. They first tied the knot at a New York City courthouse on October 27, 2022. They held a second, larger wedding celebration with loved ones in Charleston on September 2, 2023.
The former reality star first revealed the diagnosis on July 13 in an Instagram video. He said a full-body MRI scan through Prenuvo led doctors to discover an early-stage glioma. He explained that he later underwent a brain MRI. The scan showed a blueberry-sized lesion in his brain that appeared to be a glioma, which is a type of tumor.

If you went to Kroger Field the last couple of years, you probably left with a sour taste in your mouth. Kentucky was just 1-8 over the last 2 seasons against Power 5 schools at home. But it wasn't just the on-field performance that left a lot to be desired.
Fans saw places like Bryant-Denny and Williams-Brice come alive with lights, music, and great sound. The pregame atmosphere was electric. For Kentucky, everything had seemed a little stale. There was Grove Street but not much else. And a lot of fans complained about the speaker system that felt like it was only being played on one end of the stadium. And the stadium itself needed a good, deep cleaning after a couple of years of grime had built up on the outside.
Will Stein heard those comments.
The new head coach said he wanted new traditions; he talked about how he would love to extend the Wildcat walk and have different songs and an electric atmosphere. He and new AD J Batt even delivered pizzas to fans who wanted to set up their tailgating spots.
They power-washed the stadium and cleaned up the inside and out. It was announced that they have now put in field-level speakers to help boost the sound, and they will have a new game-day host to help keep the atmosphere rocking all night long.

German robotics startup Neura Robotics has announced its fifth acquisition in 16 months as it races to build a physical AI platform through acquisitions.
The company announced on Monday that it will take full ownership of Adlatus, a German maker of autonomous cleaning and sweeping robots for industry, logistics, healthcare and public ****** es.
Neura plans to add its own sensor and AI capabilities to Adlatus's fleet, which it will then fold into its shared physical AI infrastructure, the Neuraverse.
"We're not buying Adlatus just to add another cleaning robot to our portfolio," Neura CEO and founder David Reger said. "We want to give machines like this a new brain. Cleaning is a massive global labour market and, at the same time, a perfect example of what physical AI can transform. When a robot doesn't just navigate its environment but understands what it sees, senses, and needs to do, an entirely new generation of machines emerges."

When Antoine Griezmann scores, Orlando City win.
At least that's been the case during the Frenchman's first two months as a Lion, this time scoring his first MLS brace to fuel Orlando City's 2-1 comeback victory over Real Salt Lake on Saturday night at Inter.co Stadium.
With the three points, Griezmann successfully led the Lions into an Audi MLS Cup Playoffs spot for the first time this season.
After falling behind in the first half to a tidy finish by Dominik Marczuk, Orlando found an equalizer in the 53rd minute. Cleaning up a saved attempt from recent returnee Daryl Dike, Griezmann capitalized at the back post for a tap-in.

There's little debate about who the greatest college football coach of all time is. It's none other than former Michigan State, LSU, and Alabama head coach Nick Saban, but as is often the case, failure to launch came before the rise to glory.
Not many know that Saban was once an ***** istant under former Ohio State head coach, the late, great Earle Bruce, from 1980-81. Saban started his coaching career as a graduate ***** istant for his alma mater, Kent State, in 1973 and was promoted to the linebackers coach in 1975. He also had stops as an ***** istant at Syracuse and West Virginia before Bruce hired him as a defensive backs coach in 1980. Amazingly enough, Saban was hired to replace another famous coach, Pete Carroll, on the Buckeye staff.
However, Saban's time with a scarlet and gray wardrobe was short-lived. He was fired after a 31-28 Ohio State win against Navy in the 1981 Liberty Bowl as part of a housecleaning of some of the defensive staff because of a reported disagreement in philosophy.
While appearing on the Pat McAfee Show, right out of the gate, McAfee -- with former Ohio State linebacker A.J. Hawk sitting in tow -- asked Saban if he was ever fired, and Saban was quick to point out his time in Columbus.
"Yeah, I talked to you about that. I got fired when I was a defensive backs coach at Ohio State," Saban said.

The big additions for the Philadelphia 76ers are obvious. Everybody has their eyes set on the additions of Jaylen Brown and LeBron James, and for good reason! Those two are set to really change things around this franchise as everybody moves forward and Philadelphia looks to contend for a championship.
However, depth is so key in today's NBA, and President of Basketball Operations Mike Gansey made sure he found some in the 2026 offseason.
One under the radar addition is Dean Wade, who coach Nick Nurse is a big fan of, as he is somebody who provides a ton of versatility and can do so without the basketball.
On paper, Wade's numbers don't stand out. He averaged 5.8 points and 4.2 rebounds for the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2025-26 season. However, the biggest stat is his usage percentage of 9.9%. On a team that will feature high usage players like Brown, James, Tyrese Maxey, and Joel Embiid, it's so important to have a guy who doesn't need the ball and find a way to be effective. That's the role Wade will fill.
Per Cleaning the Glass, Wade shot 41% on corner 3-pointers in 2025-26. That 3-point percentage is hugely important when considering the double teams Embiid receives on a regular basis as well as how many times James and Maxey attack the paint and kick it to the corners. He understands how to play the game and find opportunities when they present themselves. Finding role players who don't need the ball will be essential for this group.

Patricia Heaton has revealed the moment that led her to go sober, explaining it left her "mortified".
The Everybody Loves Raymond alum's daily wine habit turned into problematic drinking during a period of her life when her usual routine had been disrupted.
"My children had left home and I wasn't working. The things that had always anchored me - my family and my work - were gone," Patricia, 68, told Woman's World magazine. "I started thinking, 'What am I supposed to do today?'"
The actress, whose sitcom credits also include The Middle, recalled how her drinking habits slowly escalated.
"A glass of wine while cooking became wine with dinner, wine while cleaning up and wine while watching Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy!," she explained. "One night I realised I had almost finished an entire bottle by myself."
At that point, Patricia said, she knew something had shifted in her attitude to drinking, and she turned to religion in hopes of finding an answer.

The Eagles have arguably the best offensive line in the NFL when all five players are healthy, but that hasn't been the case over the past year, and the backup could play critical roles in 2026. Philadelphia's reserve interior offensive linemen enter a critical week of training camp with roster positioning at stake.
Philadelphia will take part in joint practices against New England on Wednesday and Thursday before Saturday night's preseason game. The work should help coach Chris Kuper determine which young guards and centers can be trusted behind the starting five.
Drew Kendall and Willie Lampkin have strengthened their standing. Kendall's ability to play center and guard makes him a valuable game-day option, while Lampkin uses leverage and technique to overcome questions about his 5-foot-11 frame.
Jake Majors and rookie Micah Morris have opportunities. Majors must handle multiple interior spots while cleaning up the holding penalty that erased an eight-yard Will Shipley run against Baltimore. Morris played 34 snaps in the opener and needs another steady performance.
Veteran Michael Jordan has experience with 49 career starts, making him the most experienced reserve. His challenge is proving that experience outweighs the developmental value Philadelphia sees in younger linemen.

It has welcomed marathon runners, rock stars and the first modern Olympic athletes. Now it's time for a monumental scrub.
Athens' U-shaped Panathenaic Stadium — made entirely of white marble — is getting its first systematic cleaning in more than a century.
Rebuilt for the first modern Olympics in 1896, the site is the ceremonial send-off point for the Olympic flame, including for Los Angeles 2028.
The stadium is made of the same glittering marble used on the Acropolis, making the cleanup job delicate.
The work is revealing a monument changed by time, weather and millions of visitors. Cleaners in white and blue overalls move across the stadium's 47 steep tiers with thin spray lances, using clean water at carefully controlled, low pressure. Machines vacuum up the runoff as they go.

President Donald Trump escalated his criticism Sunday over the dismissed Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool vandalism case, pointing to a National Park Service employee's account that former Olympian David Hearn "violently" ripped and tugged at the pool's coating before authorities arrived.
Trump shared a screenshot from court documents on Truth Social that detailed interviews with two National Park Service employees who were cleaning the interior of the Reflecting Pool when Hearn approached the area.
According to the document, one employee, identified as W-1, said Hearn initially used his cellphone to take what the employee believed were photos or video of damage to the pool.

The employee then alleged Hearn "knelt, placed both hands into the reflecting pool, below the surface of the water, and started to 'violently' rip and tug at a large portion of the blue pool coating," according to the document Trump posted.

Revenue growth of 36% was primarily driven by the ECP and advanced packaging categories, which both increased more than 150% year-over-year, reflecting a successful transition into a broader multi-product company.
Management attributes recent success in advanced packaging to a strategic decision made five years ago to invest in horizontal panel-level plating, anticipating a shift from wafer-level to panel-level packaging for AI applications.
The company achieved a significant milestone by receiving orders for its panel-level horizontal plating tools from two customers, including a production order in China and an evaluation system for a new customer in Asia.
Cleaning revenue experienced a 14% decline as the portfolio shifts toward newer SPM (Sulphuric Acid Peroxide Mixture) technologies, which are currently in the shipment phase rather than the revenue recognition phase.

Staying at one company for decades was once a badge of honor. But as layoffs have become more common and workers have turned to job hopping for higher pay and career growth, employee loyalty has become harder to find. Billionaire investor Bill Ackman, however, still believes earning employee loyalty is worth every penny.
That's why his hedge fund Pershing Square, which manages roughly $35 billion in ***** ets, offers its four dozen employees generous workplace benefits, including broad ownership and an even rare degree of flexibility for Wall Street.
"There's not a person at Pershing Square that doesn't own multiple millions of dollars of stock in the company—whether you're cleaning the ***** e or at the front desk or another role in the company," Ackman told Fortune's Editor-in-Chief Alyson Shontell on a recent episode of Fortune's ***** ans and Disruptors of Industry podcast. "We believe in taking care of our people."
Ackman's approach to retention goes beyond financial incentives. While Perishing employees are required to work from the office five days a week—that policy only applies for 10 months of the year. During July and August, employees can spread out as they like, with the company's investment team moving to the Hamptons together, either in homes they rent or own, to work.
"We look after people, and so that when you operate that way, people don't think about going anyplace else," Ackman said.

The Royals got on the board first tonight against Joe Ryan. A pair of singles followed by a sac-fly RBI by Salvador Perez got the job done. Then, Michael Massey ripped a double to left-center to make it 2-0, Royals.
The Twins, who struggled against Randy Dobnak the last time they faced him, continued those struggles tonight. They finally got a run in the 4th inning after loading the bases with 1-out, on an Alan Roden sac-fly. Luke Keaschall would ground out to end the threat, however.
In the bottom of the 5th, the Royals, with the help of bad Twins defense, put together a 3-run inning. With 1 out, they got a single and a walk, then Bobby Witt Jr. doubled, scoring two. Witt would move to 3rd as Ryan Kreidler's throw home sailed over Ryan Jeffers' head. Witt then scored on the next at bat, on a grounder to 1st, beating the throw home by Royce Lewis. That gave the Royals a 5-1 lead.
It was a third rough start in a row by Joe Ryan, who exited after getting 1 out in the 6th and walking Isaac Collins. His final line was: 5.1 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 3 K. His stuff just doesn't seem to be getting him enough strikeouts lately. Kody Funderburk did a good job, cleaning up the 6th inning and tossing a clean 7th as well.

Last season was a rollercoaster for Green Bay Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon. On one hand, he finished tied for sixth in the NFL in pass defenses with 17. On the other hand, he racked up 11 penalties, the second most among all defensive backs. That volatility becomes less surprising when you remember it was his first season as a full-time outside cornerback.
With his first season as an outside cornerback behind him and a big year ahead, Nixon isn't patting himself on the back but rather hopes to keep growing in his new role while learning from his mistakes.
"I think it helped a lot going over the film and watching the mistakes I made and some of the dumb penalties that I gave up, just not knowing the level of it, what it takes," said Nixon after practice on Thursday. "I feel like I had a really strong year to start it, but definitely ready to prove myself again this year for sure."
Nixon is a rare case of a seven-year veteran who is still learning to play his primary position. The 2019 undrafted free agent has reinvented himself from a special teamer to a nickel corner to an All-Pro kick returner to now being an every-down player at one of the game's premium positions.
The path forward won't get easier for Nixon. As long as he's entrenched as the Packers' No. 1 cornerback, expectations will be high. His focus, though, is in the right places: cleaning up the penalties and developing into a more complete outside corner.
