Michael Jackson's will has been filed in a Los Angeles court, giving his entire estate to a family trust.
The document reveals that the star "intentionally omitted" to provide for his former wife, Debbie Rowe.
Jackson's long-term friend and singer Diana Ross is named as a guardian for his three children should his mother be unable to take care of them.
Meanwhile, figures show Jackson had the three top-selling US albums last week - each shifting more than 100,000 copies.
