Janet Jackson's Ex-Husband, James DeBarge, Credits Michael with Saving His Life

Appearing on "Dr. Drew's Life Changers" James DeBarge, Janet Jackson's first husband and former member of the hit making 80's group, DeBarge, credited Michael Jackson with saving his life in a suicide attempt.

"I was going to jump and everyone was losing it...He was the only one not freaking out," DeBarge said.  "He seemed to be familiar with my pain...He knew I needed someone to talk to, so he was that ear.  We just talked all night and I forgot that I was even on the roof and that I was going to jump."

James appeared alongside his siblings, Bunny and Randy.  They are also the siblings of one of the hottest R&B comebacks in music, El DeBarge.

El - who has been open and honest about his own troubles with drug abuse - re-entered rehab in February 2011 putting a long awaited tour scheduled with singer KEM threatening his 16-year comeback.

Michael Jackson's Mother and His Children to Receive $30M from Estate

Michael's children with Katherine Jackson and Aunt LaToya

There are those who argue that world renowned entertainer Michael Jackson is worth more in death than while he was living. This could be the case due to the $310 million in revenues that executors of MJ's estate have managed to generate as of December 31, 2010.

As a result, the executors have filed court documents requesting to fund a trust set-up for Michael's mother Katherine and his three children to the tune of $30 million.

I addition to the trust, the executors are looking to sell Michael's longtime family home in Encino, California.  While an asking price has yet been made available, at the time of Jackson's death, the home was valued at $4.15 million.  Court documents indicate Katherine has interest in selling the home to buy another one.  However, it's said the real home she wants to purchase is the one she and the children live in now.

This is definitely one way to be starting something!
