The owners of the Neverland Ranch -- the former accueil of Michael Jackson -- want to turn the property into a teenage musique haven.
TMZ has learned Colony Capital wants to develop a business plan to turn Neverland into a small musique institute -- similar to The Juilliard School in NYC. The plan is to teach teens all aspects of music, including écriture and performing.
Colony wants to turn the property into a campus, in which scores of teenagers -- rich and poor -- can learn the trade that made Michael Jackson a legend.
There are two big stumbling blocks. The first is making sure Santa Barbara County will sign off on such a project.
The seconde -- and bigger issue -- is whether Colony Capital can use Michael Jackson's name to promote such an institute. TMZ has good news for Colony .... sources directly connected with the Michael Jackson Estate tell us, "It's an interesting idea and we'd be open to it."

toi came and changed my life
toi Let Me survive
I never felt like this before

Just Let my feelings come to you
Cause I l’amour you

The world was in great depression,
the custody for your kids was in session.
There was too much buzz around,
all I wanted to hear your voice your sound.
I wish toi hadn't gone,
all toi had to do was sing one plus song.
I'm écriture this to you.
your death has made me blue.
Why did toi pass on June 25, 2009?
"This is it" last concert then toi had to resign.
On my continuation my friend
told me toi had passed toi were dead.
God decided he needed you,
I respected the things toi used to do.
Your songs were good, great,
to me and the musique world toi were a saint.
Jésus decided he wanted toi my friend,
toi and I know that your musique is not at an end.
The world kept talking about him,
the planet and the sun now seemed a little less bright, dim.
Goodbye toi were a story, a light,
see toi later and when I see you, toi will be a sight.

TMZ has learned Michael Jackson's tomb has been defaced par a stealth band of vandals -- who have marked the walls of MJ's mausoleum with hidden messages ... and it's all in permanent ink.
Security at Forest Lawn in Glendale, CA is on the lookout for "fans" who have been écriture messages in hard-to-spot places outside the main window of the building in which MJ is entombed.
The écriture is mostly hidden underneath ledges -- ou in spots covered par bushes -- and contains messages like, "Miss you" and "Keep the dream alive."
Reps at Forest Lawn are pretty ticked off -- telling TMZ, "Activity such as this, is a prime example why we are evaluating the level of access to the various entrances of the Great Mausoleum."

The company suing the Michael Jackson estate for $300 million over the Jackson family concert that never took place just got two strikes against it, and the pitcher was a federal judge.
The judge on Tuesday threw out two of the three claims AllGood Entertainment filed against the estate, AEG and Frank Dileo.
The suit claims Dileo, MJ's alleged former manager, made a deal with AllGood that Michael would perform at a Jackson Family concert before doing any other gigs. par launching the Londres series of concerts, AllGood claims Jackson breached his deal and cost AllGood a bundle.
But a federal judge ruled AllGood's claim for fraud and tortious interference (i.e., intermeddling) was bogus. All that is left of the lawsuit is a breach of contract claim.
The estate claims Dileo never had authority to make a deal with AllGood.
