The estate of Michael Jackson could not be clearer -- the deed that was recorded giving Katherine Jackson ownership of the family's Encino estate is bogus to the core.

Attorney Howard Weitzman is scoffing at the deed TMZ first told you about ... filed by Katherine which gives her 25% ownership in the home, and each of MJ's 3 kids 25% as well.

Weitzman says it's laughable that the person on the deed changing the title is Michael Jackson ... who is utterly incapable of giving anything to anyone anymore. Weitzman says, "Michael's estate owns the property for the benefit of his children and Mrs. Jackson has no ownership interest."

As we reported, although Katherine signed a document attached to the deed, she may not be the mastermind, but Weitzman vows to hunt down the culprit.

Prince's emergency landing 6 days before his death -- the one where he almost died from a Percocet OD -- was caught on video, and you see paramedics rush to the plane in an attempt to save his life.

The video was released by the Quad City International Airport in Moline, Illinois. You see emergency vehicles waiting for the plane to taxi up to the tarmac.

Once the plane stops, there are at least 3 vehicles surrounding it.

Joanna Krupa's ridiculous body proves yet again she's the finest Polish export ever -- sorry, smoked sausage.

Former "American Idol" finalist Rickey Smith was killed Thursday night in a multi-car highway wreck in Oklahoma.

Smith was on I-240 just outside Oklahoma City when, according to reports, another man driving the wrong way on the interstate slammed head-on into Smith's vehicle. Cops say the other driver was hospitalized and booked for DUI.

Smith competed on the second season of 'Idol,' and finished in eighth place. Ruben Studdard took the title that year.

Rickey was 36.

Justin Bieber had to regulate on Desiigner in the packed 1 OAK nightclub when the rapper's performance spilled into the VIP section ... TMZ has learned.

Sources in the NYC hot spot tell us 19-year-old Desiigner -- recently signed to Kanye West's label -- was putting on a hell of a show Thursday night, and Justin was watching from the VIP area.

We're told it was all good until Desiigner got "a little too hyped" ... started jumping around and "stomped" multiple times on Justin's feet. That's when JB flexed on him.

We're told Desiigner immediately turned around and said "My bad."

Someone secretly filed legal documents aimed at taking Michael Jackson's Hayvenhurst family home away from his estate and deeding it to Katherine Jackson and MJ's kids.

TMZ obtained the deed which was filed with the L.A. County Recorder's Office. It claims to transfer the long-standing family home in Encino from Michael Jackson to Katherine, Blanket, Paris and Prince. According to the deed, each now has a 25% ownership interest in the home.

It's a weird, suspicious document, but we've verified with the notary public who was there when it was signed that Katherine herself put pen to paper at her home in Calabasas.

As for why it's weird ... it's handwritten, and the deed is not signed although an attachment bears her signature. What's even more hinky ... the person granting the deed is Michael J. Jackson, which is impossible because he's long dead. The estate of Michael Jackson owns the property. The document was signed April 21st and recorded 5 days later.

What we don't know ... is Katherine the mastermind of the ploy or did someone just get her to sign the attachment without telling her it would be filed with a quitclaim deed?

We've learned the estate reps had no idea this document had been filed. As we've been reporting for years, Katherine has been bent out of shape for years, claiming the estate has been stingy with her family.

Blac Chyna can play the game just as well as her BFF -- and maybe better -- 'cause she's officially joined emoji nation, just like Amber Rose, and she's cashing in big time.

BC's customized emojis are rolling out on Tuesday, featuring tons of images of Chyna -- for every emotion, in theory. The app, produced by GlamRoks, even has shots of her fiancé Rob Kardashian (ubiquitous ball cap included).

Sources connected to the deal claim Chyna's total haul could top a couple million.

We gotta say, it might be worth it just for the Blac Chyna mug shot emoji. Perfect for those weekend flights when you get a little too lit! Allegedly.

Andrew Kornfeld, the man who flew to Prince's home on a thwarted rescue mission that ended with his call to 911, made it clear to a photog Thursday ... he wasn't going to talk about the ongoing criminal investigation into the singer's death.

Andrew's dad, rehab specialist Dr. Howard Kornfeld, got the call from Prince's rep the day before the singer died, pleading with him to come to Minnesota to save Prince from a fatal OD. The doctor couldn't make it but sent his son, who was in the house when Prince was discovered in the elevator.

As we reported, Andrew is under investigation because when cops arrived they found pills -- a synthetic opiate used to treat Percocet addicts -- in his backpack. Andrew, who is not a doctor, is being investigated for the unauthorized practice of medicine.

The photog got Andrew at a nature preserve in Northern California.

We also got video Thursday of Dr. Kornfeld outside his rehab facility, Recovery Without Walls, in Marin County, CA. He was also mum.

Prince Harry put his own personal touch on the centuries-old "sport of kings" with a simple flip of the bird.

Rick Ross is one step closer to getting a bunch of hardcore gang members off his ass after a sweep in Chicago nailed nearly 50 Gangster Disciples.

TMZ broke the story ... members of the Chicago-based gang posted a video in 2012, demanding Ross pay GD founder Larry Hoover for using the gang's name and symbols ... or else. Cops in Chicago jumped on the case and now at least 4 of the guys in the video have been indicted.

In the docs -- obtained by TMZ -- law enforcement ran a total crackdown ... slapping murder, drug and weapons charges on a total of 48 GD members.

You'll remember, shortly after the threats were posted online ... Rick canceled tour dates, though he insisted it was due to poor promotion and not out of fear.

Fear not, wrestling fans ... pro wrestling legend Chyna WILL be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, so says WWE honcho Stephanie McMahon who tells TMZ Sports it's only a matter of time.

50 Cent's not the cold-hearted prick he appears to be in that video with an autistic man -- so says a guy who got the best wedding present ever from him, weeks before the infamous airport incident.

The groom, named Chris Brown (yeah, we know) ... tells TMZ he was getting married at the Loews Hotel in Philly last month when word spread 50 Cent was also there. Brown found him and asked for a huge favor.

Brown's brother, Justin, is a Fiddy super fan who suffers from reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome ... which causes chronic pain and confines him to a bed. Brown says he asked 50 to meet Justin, who was in a room at the hotel.

He says 50 said he would "try" to make time, but had several events to attend ... so Brown wasn't sure it would happen. But lo and behold, the rapper showed up -- without an entourage -- and talked to Justin for more than 90 minutes.

Former Mexican Prez Vicente Fox scoffed at Donald Trump's Cinco de Mayo homage, saying it's outlandish to think any restaurant with a Trump connection can serve up authentic Mexican grub.

Fox goes on to praise Hillary Clinton to the skies, explaining why he thinks she'd make a great president.

Best part ... we shot the video on May 5th ... Fox was dining at an Italian restaurant!

Picture country star Sam Hunt rolling through the LBC in his 6-4 ... 'cause Snoop Dogg has, and it's all good.

We got Snoop at LAX and our photog filled him in about Sam's claim he, and other country stars, have ZERO street cred. So, watch what happened when we asked the Doggfather to grant Sam an official hood pass.

He refused, but not for the reason you'd think. That Stagecoach love is still flowing!

Chris Brown wants to be 100% clear ... he has NO relationship with the woman who keeps getting busted at his home, and he's fed up with her yelling demands for sexual favors.

Chris has been in a standoff with Danielle Patti since she first got arrested for trespassing at his home in December. In new docs, Chris says she continues to harass him -- getting busted a second time and even filing a restraining order against him.

Chris describes quite the scene on at least one of Patti's unwanted visits. According to the docs, she shouts things like, "Chris are you going to eat my p****" and "I love you." He says it's clear she's delusional about having a relationship with Chris.

He was granted a temporary restraining order, forcing her to stay 100 yards away from Chris and one of his bodyguards.
