Her name is Orianthi and she played with Carrie Underwood at this year's Grammys.
The Michael Jackson song where Eddie Van Halen played the guitar is "Beat It".
Brian May never played guitar in any of Michael Jackson's songs.
As a child he loved guitars, but his father, Joe Jackson, told him he was better at singing. As an adult, on the set for "Scream", there is a picture of Michael holding a guitar (as seen in the Michael Jackson's Vision booklet). He says that that guitar was his favorite.

Jennifer Battan played guitar on tour with Michael Jackson between 1987 and 1996. In the upcoming feature This Is It, a young woman known as Orianthi has taken over the reins and the day before the movie was released, issued her first album.
You never know, but unfortunately, there is probably a 3% chance. You see, Michael Jackson wasn't exactly a "specialist" in guitar. He was more vocal and instrumental with piano, strings, more gentle instruments. Sure, he has Dirty Diana, Beat It, and some really good guitar songs from his album Dangerous, but chances Guitar Hero just doesn't have enough songs are very high. It's bad for me too because I love (I guess now loved, but still love, since his music lives on) Michael Jackson. My favorite singer, male or female. There will never be another MJ.
Eddie Van Halen
Because she auditioned and was then chosen to be his guitarist.
