Since Michael Jackson's sudden death on June 25, the rumor mill over details of his bizarre personal life has ground away nearly non-stop, and on July 24, Chicago based Jewellery company Life Gem claims that it can convert the strands of hair into pieces of gem.
The story starts with Jackson's flammable 1984 Pepsi commercial. As anyone who's seen the footage knows, the spot's executive producer, Ralph Cohen, threw his Armani jacket over Jackson's head to help smother the flames.
But after aiding his pal, Cohen gathered up some of Jackson's charred tresses.
