At least 110 people have been killed since June, mostly by police bullets. The protests are the biggest since an armed revolt against Indian rule broke out in Kashmir in 1989.

He's still the king... Michael Jackson has surpassed Elvis on the Forbes annual list of top earning celebrities who have died.

In the year since Jackson died, he has earned $275 million in profit from music and merchandising, and the documentary "This Is It" earned an additional $250 Million in profit.

That's half a billion dollars Michael surely could have used before he died, and his estate is still under constant legal action from various parties looking to get a cut.
