Owners of the Neverland Ranch want to turn the building into a fame school for wannabe teenage musicians.
The school would teach kids from all walks of life to write and perform music, along the lines of New York’s respected Julliard.
The mansion is owned by private real estate firm Colony Capital, who are looking into using Michael’s name to promote the venture.
Santa Barbara County officials are yet to sign off the project, but a spokesman for Michael’s estate said: “it’s an interesting idea and we’d be open to it.

The dining room featured an 18th-century refectory table and English yew Windsor chairs, a 19th-century oval English yew-wood gateleg table and a circa 1780 cross-banded oak Welsh dresser base used as a sideboard. The painting by Paul Clemmens, 1978, is a portrait of William Bones’ wife and children.
Oak ceiling and walls distinguished the library (above), which featured a hidden movie screen that lowered from the ceiling. On the Heriz rug stood an 18th-century drop-leaf table flanked by a circa-1840 English comb-back Windsor chair on the right and a leather-upholstered English Gainsborough chair on the left. Above the fireplace, two paintings of English coaching scenes hung on the wall between a pair of French bronze horses signed by Moignier.

architecturaldigest.com Reports:
I first met Michael on a hillside in Colorado in 1984. He was on the famous Victory Tour with his brothers.
Michael was the first to come running over to help when I slipped going up a steep muddy hill. I was fine, but a couple of lenses got covered in mud. That was the first time Michael took a liking to one of my brown Scottish tweed sports jackets, so I took it off and gave it to him. He seemed pleased by my gesture and immediately put it on, put both arms out and twirled around in the bright sunlight while I photographed him running and jumping. On stage that night he glittered in sequins. I flew back to New York with the photographs.
The momentum of the Victory Tour kept building, so I joined Michael in Philadelphia for more photos. The same thing happened again. This time it was a gray Harris tweed jacket. I saw him looking closely at the colors in the tweed. They seemed to fascinate him, so again I gave him my jacket. Sometime later I was amused to see a news clip of Michael actually wearing the jacket, running into a limo, mobbed by fans.

People Mag Report:
Kim Kardashian has celebrated her birthday 28 times, but her 14th always sticks out as one of the most memorable. The location: Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch.
“That was the most magical place on earth,” she told PEOPLE Friday in Las Vegas at the opening in The Mirage of Sugar Factory, a candy store for which she is spokeswoman. “I had my birthday at Neverland Ranch. Who else can say that?”
Kardashian, who was dating one of Jackson’s nephews at the time, recalls: “When you drove up there were baby elephants and chimpanzees in overalls, and there was all the rides. It was everything you can possibly imagine. The memories I have from that place will last for the rest of my life.”
Jackson, though, wasn’t at the party. “It was just me and my friends,” says Kardashian. “It was something I’ll never forget.”

Publicist Raymone Bain recently told Jamie Foster Brown (S2S) that Venus and Serena’s mom once told her that the sisters would love to meet Michael Jackson. Since Bain was repping Michael and Serena, this made the task somewhat easy. Bain was informed that Michael would love to meet them, he admired them a lot.
Raymone informed Serena and Venus that she had a surprise for them. They were traveling on the highway, on their way to Neverland unbeknownst to the sisters. Suddenly Serena said, “Wait a minute, we’ve been driving forever and Venus said, “Where are we going for the surprise?”
Raymone told them, I can’t tell you. Finally, Serena said, “Listen, I’m getting tired. So either we’re going to pull over or we turn it around or you’re going to tell me where we’re going.” I’ve had enough. Raymone finally told her, “you’re going to meet Michael Jackson.” Serena said, “What!” Don’t tell me that’s where we’re going.

IN THE BEGINNING…
Bubbles is a Common Chimpanzee, known for his association with the American recording artist Michael Jackson, who adopted the three-year-old chimp from a cancer research clinic in Texas in 1985. The pair enjoyed a close relationship, which many media sources mocked.
The association—along with other factors—led the public to think of Jackson as a bizarre eccentric, obsessed with recapturing his childhood, and he was subsequently dubbed “Wacko Jacko”.
WHO’S BAD? BUBBLES
Among several outings during his time with the entertainer, Bubbles sat in for the recording sessions of the Bad album and escorted Jackson for the filming of the “Bad” music video. Jackson had insisted that the chimp and his pet snake attend as spectators—and accompanied Jackson for the filming of the “Bad” music video. At a party to celebrate and promote Bad, Bubbles reportedly “worked the room” and was “the life of the party”.
