DANCING ON THE CASKET DEPT.: Shocking even cold-eyed showbiz wheeler-dealers, JOE JACKSON’s vile, brazen maneuvers to cash in on MICHAEL JACKSON’s death just hit a new low – even before his son’s body was buried, say sources, he not only huddled with big-buck$$ financiers about buying Neverland back from mortgage holder THOMAS BARRACK JR. of Colony Capital, he secretly set about soliciting advice from ex in-laws LISA MARIE PRESLEY and hard-nosed mom PRISCILLA PRESLEY on how to turn the ranch into a perpetual money-machine, like Graceland – which has netted the Presleys hundred$$ of million$$!
It gets worse: Betraying the wishes of wife KATHERINE JACKSON, who blocked their son’s burial at Neverland – and of Michael himself, who considered the ranch “contaminated” after cop raids during his child molestation trial – evil child-beater Joe wants Priscilla’s advice on how to beat zoning laws and eventually exhume the body from its final resting place, just as ELVIS PRESLEY’s was, then inter it as an eternal tourist attraction.
“Joe tortured Michael in life,” said a source. “If his scheme to bury Michael in Neverland succeeds, his son may never rest in peace. Turning Neverland into Graceland is one thing – imprisoning Michael’s spirit in a hated place is a shocking betrayal.”
