Michael Jackson's death was just over a year ago on June 25, but since then, his estate has earned an estimated $275 million, according to
Forbes ... placing him #1 on their annual Dead Celebs list.
The King of Pop's estate raked in $60 million in advance for the movie
This Is It. Deals that included a video game and book earned another $50 million ... and thanks to album sales and excessive radio play, that scored an additional $50 million.
An estate lawyer tells
Forbes, "The cash flow on an annual basis is tremendous. Sure, it's going to decline eventually, but it's going to be a huge amount in the foreseeable future. [Jackson's] kids are going to have grandkids before that money's gone."
Since Jackson had nearly $500 million in debt at the time of his death, a large portion of the earnings has been aimed at knocking down that total.
Several projects are in the works which will be bringing in even more millions. A deal with Sony Music, which will include the release of never-before-heard songs, will net close to $250 million for the estate over the next seven years.

Now that Lindsay Lohan is back in rehab at the Betty Ford Center, sources tell X17online that she may allow her dad, Michael, the chance to pay her a visit.
Lindsay's dad has repeatedly made attempts to visit his 24-year-old daughter at the Rancho Mirage facility ... only to be turned away because he's "not on the list."
Our source adds that Dina has been visiting Lindsay everyday, and that due to a couple missed days during Family Week, Lilo's mom had to repeat the "family therapy" sessions with her daughter.
One major obstacle that's been troubling Lindsay is Michael's on-again relationship with his ex-fiancee Kate Major. A friend of the actress tells X17online:
"Lindsay absolutely hates Kate. She's never liked her and thinks she's just with her dad to get a story. Until he gets rid of her, it's going to be hard for Lindsay to accept him back in her life."
Michael Lohan refused to comment on his relationship with Kate, and whether he plans to make another attempt to visit Lindsay. So far, looks like he's keeping his promise to not speak to the media.
Lindsay will remain at the Betty Ford Center until January 3rd.

I guess when she's got a good shot at getting her hands on Mel Gibson's millions, she doesn't need small change for posing nude!
Playboy reportedly offered Oksana Grigorieva $75,000 to pose for the cover of the magazine, but her rep says she will not pose naked for any amount of money.
Yesterday afternoon we spotted a barefaced Oksana leaving her lawyer's office in Calabasas, and she appeared to be in a good mood as she headed back to her car. You know she's getting a kick out of Mel's
Hangover 2 drama...

While in the Big Apple filming her latest reality show,
Kourtney & Kim Take New York, Kim Kardashian kept her curves kickin' as she cruised the streets of NY with her sister's hubby, Scott Disick. Is Kim the only one who likes him?
No doubt, Auntie Kim loves her adorable nephew, Mason ... so I guess she's willing to put aside the family's negative opinion of Kourtney's baby daddy.
We're loving the skin tight leather pants and form-fitting shirt! Miss K certainly knows how to keep all eyes on her.

No, not those hard times -- Paris Hilton tweeted this pic of herself on the set of
The Hard Times of RJ Berger yesterday afternoon, and she looked lovely as she waited to shoot her cameo on the MTV series. Sister Nicky's boyfriend David Katzenberg is one of the show's creators, and it's received amazing reviews since it premiered back in June. Can't wait to see her guest spot!
The heiress was snapped arriving at the driving range before she got all glammed up, and she looked just as gorgeous in jeans and a simple top:

We knew she couldn't
cover up forever!
The former
Baywatch babe has kept herself looking fairly demure while, ironically, promoting her nude PETA spread overseas. But apparently she can't hide her two best assets for very long!
Pamela Anderson, 43, let it all hang out at the premiere of
The Commuter (sponsored and shot on the Nokia N8) at Aqua in London on Monday. The short film also features
Slumdog Millionaire's Dev Patel and
Gossip Girl's Ed Westwick.
Meanwhile, Pam promises to bare all again for her 14th
Playboy cover - it'll hit newsstands in January 2011 - with the Playmate's salary going to Waves 4 Water, an organization aimed at "providing clean drinking water to those in need."
Gotta love Pamela Anderson's charitable heart! She's like a blonde, single version of Angelina Jolie.

Despite displaying some pretty gnarly scratches from his recent scary attack outside his LA home, Michael Lohan looked as if he couldn't be enjoying his lunch today in Beverly Hills more!
And why not? He was in the company of two lovely ladies (neither of which were his ex,
Kate Major, whom he accompanied to Tila Tequila's birthday party last night.)
We're not sure who these hotties are... but maybe one of 'em is his future ex-fiancee?
