Family law expert Stacy D. Phillips is speculating on what the future could hold for Michael Jackson’s three young children.

On Monday a judge granted Jackson’s mother, Katherine, guardianship of his three children, Prince Michael , Paris and Prince Michael II, but could Debbie Rowe, the mother of the two eldest children, try to get custody?

Phillips says, "For the two older children, Debbie Rowe would be the custodial parent, unless her parental rights have been terminated. Years ago she had her parental rights terminated, she then moved the court to restore those rights, saying they had been stripped inappropriately, the court agreed ultimately, and assuming she still has those rights, she would be the presumptive parent, not just guardian, parent for the two older children."

Edward Chernoff, the lawyer for Michael Jacksons personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray, told CNN that a 911 call was not made immediately when Jackson was found to be ill.

Chernoff told CNN’s Kiran Chetry that the lack of a phone line in Jacksons bedroom contributed to the delayed 911 call, and that his client performed CPR on Jackson for 25-30 minutes.

When asked if 911 was called immediately, Chernoff said, "No, I mean look, not immediately. Dr. Murray is his personal physician, that is something you would want is for your doctor to be right there if you were going into cardiac arrest, he was there, especially a cardiologist, he was there to try to revive Michael."

A Los Angeles court has appointed Katherine Jackson as the temporary special administrator of her son, Michael Jackson’s, estate.

According to new court papers obtained by ET, Katherine will have the power to administer aspects of her son’s estate until a July 6 hearing. The judge states specifically that Katherine will be able "to control tangible personal property currently in the physical possession of a third party, and to marshal and secure such assets."

In court papers filed by Katherine Jackson, she states, "Numerous bank accounts now exist that are in control of third parties, some of which accounts were used to pay expenses of [Michael Jackson’s] parents’ home."

Officials visited Michael Jackson’s rented home today and seized ‘medications.’

An official speaking outside of Jackson’s rented home says that they seized the medications because of "information that was obtained by the Los Angeles Police Department, along with some questions that we had involving some of the medications." The official would not disclose the quantity of the medications.

The official said that he and an investigator from the Coroner’s office and an LAPD detective collected "some additional items as a result of our investigation and those items have been taken into custody as evidence and we’ll be returning to our office to analyze some of the stuff."

The attorney to Dr. Conrad Murray, Edward Chernoff, gives ET his client’s side of the story, recalling the doctor’s moments with Michael Jackson leading up to the singer’s death.

The LAPD released this statement to ET regarding their interview with Dr. Murray:

"Dr. Conrad Murray, the physician who was with Michael Jackson at the time of his collapse, voluntarily contacted the Los Angeles Police Department. Detectives assigned to Robbery-Homicide Division met with Dr. Murray and conducted an extensive interview. Dr. Murray was cooperative and provided information which will aid the investigation."

Contrary to recent tabloid reports that Dame Elizabeth Taylor was on suicide watch, a source close to the renowned actress tells ET that Taylor is carrying on her dear friend’s legacy of helping others.

"Elizabeth has so much left to do in her life," the source tells ET, calling Taylor a "survivor."

The source says the actress plans to continue her fight against HIV/AIDS with her charities: the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation and the Elizabeth Taylor Endowment Fund at UCLA. The source notes that Dame Elizabeth will do everything in her
power to support Michael’s philanthropy and legacy.

Newswoman Diane Dimond has covered Michael Jackson since 1993, now she talks to "ET" about the shocking info that she says leaked in the London Daily Sun from the King of Pop’s autopsy report.

Diane tells ET, "If you look back at the mug shot of Michael Jackson on the booking sheet [from 1993], I think it says he weighs 125 or 130 pounds. For him now to be 112 pounds at death, I don’t know any fat habitual drug abusers. They always lose weight when they are abusing drugs, but I think in this case it was more than that. I think it was years and years of anorexic behavior.

"We heard testimony during the trial that he hardly ever ate. He drank, but he didn’t eat. And now we hear from Grace Rwaramba, the nanny who, by all intents and purposes, was a wife to him for 12 years, that she had a tough time getting him to eat even one meal a day, he wouldn’t bathe himself, and he wouldn’t be groomed. She said at one point, it got so bad she didn’t want the children to see him in that state."

ET can tell you where Michael Jackson’s former pet chimpanzee, Bubbles, is today.

Bubbles is alive and thriving at the Center for Great Apes in Wauchula, Florida, according to the center’s Web site.

The center reports that Bubbles was born in 1983 in a biomedical laboratory, and purchased as a young chimp by an entertainment trainer. The chimp was later acquired by Jackson and accompanied the superstar on his world travels. Bubbles retired at age six or seven, and thereafter lived at a California trainer’s compound with his chimp buddy Sam until 2005, when he moved to the Center for Great Apes.

In new court papers filed today by Michael Jackson’s parents Joe and Katherine, the couple claims their son did not have a valid will at the time of his death.

In the papers, Joe and Katherine request that Katherine be appointed administrator of their son’s estate, and claim to the court that Michael was "intestate" at the time of his death, meaning he had no valid will. Click here to read the papers.

In a written petition to the court, Katherine says that she "intends to marshal assets of [Michael Jackson] for the exclusive used of [Michael’s] three children — her grandchildren — after payment of debts and expenses of administration."

ET has obtained papers from a lawsuit filed in 2007 from a Beverly Hills pharmacy, that claimed Michael Jackson never paid for his purchases from the drug distributor, amounting to a $100,000 bill within two years.

The papers allege that Michael filled "multiple prescriptions" through Mickey Fine Pharmacy. The suit is now "amicably resolved."

Michael passed away suddenly last Thursday at the age of 50. His cause of death is still under investigation.

"My heart … my mind … are broken. I loved Michael with all my soul and I can’t imagine life without him. We had so much in common and we had such loving fun together. I was packing up my clothes to go to London for his opening when I heard the news. I still can’t believe it. I don’t want to believe it. It can’t be so. He will live in my heart forever but it’s not enough. My life feels so empty. I don’t think anyone knew how much we loved each other. The purest most giving love I’ve ever known. Oh God! I’m going to miss him. I can’t yet imagine life without him. But I guess with God’s help … I’ll learn. I keep looking at the photo he gave me of himself, which says, ‘To my true love Elizabeth, I love you forever.’ And, I will love HIM forever," Dame Elizabeth tells ET.

Michael Jackson’s 911 call has just been released.

In the 911 call a man is heard saying:

"We have a gentleman here who needs help.

A CBS affiliate news station has identified a doctor who had been living with Michael Jackson.

KHOU of Houston, Texas reports that Dr. Conrad Robert Murray of Houston was living with Jackson in his Holmby Hills, Calif., rented home at the time of his death, and was in fact with him when he went into cardiac arrest.

A BMW that was towed from Jackson’s home had license plates that were registered to Dr. Murray’s sister, Susan Rush, KHOU reports.

Michael Jackson’s ex-wife and the mother of two of his children, Debbie Rowe, reacts to news that he has died.

ET has learned that Rowe is "inconsolable" about the death of the King of Pop.

After the shocking death of Michael Jackson, attorney Herb Nass — who does not represent the Jackson family — tells ET what’s next for the superstar’s estate.

"Michael Jackson’s estate will be responsible for his debts," Herb says. "They are not going to be born by his children individually, but the debts that he had are debts of his estate, which of course will reduce his estate as a result, and thereby reduce what his three children will ultimately inherit from him." He adds that they will not be personally liable for the debts of their father.

"Michael Jackson had serious financial problems, there’s no secret about that," he says. "In the past couple of years he was fortunate to have some people come forward who really bailed him out." While he still has debts, "He owned a very impressive catalog of music, including many of The Beatles greatest hits," Herb points out, saying that this may be Paul McCartney’s chance to buy back some of those copyrights.
