What caused Michael Jackson's death? Is his will valid? Who fathered his children?

Endless questions have been raised in the wake of the tragic passing of the King of Pop, but here's one we didn't think to ask until People magazine already answered it: What ever happened to Bubbles?

Bubbles, the pet chimpanzee that Jackson toted around like a baby during the 1980s, has been out of the limelight for years, but did Jackson's pet primate burn out or just fade away?

People discovered Bubbles has been living happily for the past four years at the Center for Great Apes, a primate sanctuary in Florida. Patti Ragan, the director of the facility, which houses 41 other chimps and orangutans, describes him as "a very sweet and nice chimp."

Bubbles, who is 26 now, has grown substantially since his MJ days - he now clocks in at 160 lbs and likes to spend his days "eating sweet potatoes, listening to flute-and-guitar music, painting."

No one has mentioned Jackson's passing to the chimp. Ragan tells People:
"We haven't said anything to him yet," she says, adding that his mood over the past few days has been typically chimp-like: "He's been his usual self, interacting with friends, eating well, taking cover when it rains."

body If the children are proven to NOT be biological to Michael, what will happen? He never adopted them officially, so they legally are not his....he just took them.
Will Katherine and the Jacksons still feel connected to these kids? It seems the only bio parents are Rowe and Dr. Klein. What a mess.....

body Why bring this up? Stop speculating, he did not take
those kids, they had a mother and he left his
estate to his mother and these 3 kids. They will
be well taken care of.

body Sounds like ole bubbles is living the good life! Tell him that Michael is dead....Why? Or would he understand what that means. Meanwhile he is munching on sweet potatoes and painting. Some of us should have it so tough, but then perhaps he deserves some peace and quiet, being treated so andomorphic can get a little much

body Enough is enough!! You can't watch any news program without there being something about MJ. I am sure the right thing will be done regarding his estate, and children. Everyone has their faults, but the common folks problems aren't mulled over and over on the news. Aren't there more important things they could be reporting on the news????
