OK! Magazine is running a photo of Michael Jackson lying on a stretcher, possibly already dead, on the cover of their latest issue.
The picture which is being referred to as the Michael Jackson death photo has ruffled a lot of feathers with some calling it an attempt to capitalize on the death of a celebrity.
OK Magazine defends it’s decision saying:
“The cover represents an event in the history of an extremely entertaining and controversial figure and is sure to provoke some emotion and questions from readers and fans about the circumstances. The news often does.”
The tabloid reportedly paid $500,000 for the "last" picture of Jackson.

Jermaine Jackson, one of Michael Jackson’s older brothers talks to TODAY’s Matt Lauer for the first time since the singer’s tragic death.
In an emotional interview, recorded at his brother's famous Neverland Ranch, Jermaine recalled the moment he found out his brother was dead -- in a devastating phone call from Katherine.
"She was crying, saying he was dead. To hear my mother say, 'Michael is dead,' to feel and hear the tone in her voice to say her child is dead, is nothing that anyone can ever imagine," said Jermaine.
“There is nothing to be compared to this, ’cause we lost our brother, our hero. The world is mourning. We are mourning. The fans are mourning. It is unreal. Unbelievable,” Jermaine told Lauer.
“He went too soon,” the singer’s big brother added. “I wish that it was me."

Earlier today, Michael Jackson’s will was filed at the Los Angeles court.
The five-page, seven-year-old document, signed on July 7, 2002, states that the entire estate should be assigned to Michael Jackson family trust.
His mother, Katherine Jackson, is named as a beneficiary of the trust and the guardian of Jackson's three young children. Jackson names Diana Ross as his choice for alternate guardian of his kids in the event his now 80-year-old mother was unable to raise them.
As for his ex-wife Debbie Rowe, Jackson apparently cut her out on purpose. He wrote, “I have intentionally omitted to provide for my former wife, Deborah Rowe Jackson.”
No charities are named as beneficiaries.
The estate, which is estimated at $500 at that time, consisted almost entirely of "non-cash, non-liquid assets, including primarily an interest in a catalogue of music royalty rights which is currently being administered by Sony ATV, and the interests of various entities."

Austin resident Laurel Kagay was watching The Bachelorette on Monday when suddenly her name was mentioned.
Eliminated suitor Jake returned to tell Jillian that Wes still had a girlfriend named Laurel. Wes denied dating her.
Laurel, 29, who owns the Peach Body Boutique in Austin, has now come forward to clear the air.
Laurel says she dated Wes for three years, and their relationship turned to friendship a year ago. “I’m absolutely not with Wes, nor would I be with Wes if he were going on a show to be with another girl,” she says. “That’s absolutely crazy.”
So how did Jake get things mixed up? “I think he was definitely upset about not being on the show anymore,” she says. “And I think Wes did say something about his ex-girlfriend. Maybe he said he still cares about me or whatever. Maybe he talked a little too much about me, and Jake just blew that into something else.”
However, Laurel admits, “We are really good friends and we do go out to lunch together, so I could see how people could think we’re together.”
Oddly enough, Laurel is also linked to another famous name in The Bachelor franchise — Brad Womack. She has also dated Collin Evans, who was briefly a contender on The Bachelorette’s third season.
