Should we be blaming Randy for Janet getting involved in this Jackson Family Feud foolishness? According to RadarOnline reports : Randy Jackson has been pressuring his sister Janet to join their other siblings who’ve been plotting to overthrow the executors of their late brother Michael’s estate, and RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned the reason why the reluctant Nasty singer agreed to participate. Ever since Michael’s death three years ago, Randy Jackson has been insisting that brother Michael’s will was fraudulent, despite the fact that it was validated by a judge and withstood three legal challenges. The Thriller singer left all of his siblings out of his will and left everything to his three children and to his mother Katherine. Longtime watchers of the Jackson family were stunned when Janet’s signature appeared on a letter sent to the executors of Michael’s estate demanding their immediate resignation — it was also signed by Randy, Jermaine, Rebbie, and Tito. However, Tito has since publicly expressed regrets about signing the letter. Janet had been reluctant to join her siblings, but finally relented “after Randy wore her down. Randy and Janet are extremely close, and he told her the only way they had any chance in succeeding in tossing the executors would be if Janet joined them since she is the most famous Jackson member. Randy believed that with Janet aboard, she would legitimize their efforts. Janet finally agreed because she didn’t want to disappoint Randy, as he has convinced her that without her, they stood no chance,” a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com exclusively. The youngest Jackson sibling made news this week after security video from the house where Michael’s children live was released and showed Janet getting into an altercation with Paris Jackson over the teen’s cell phone. Janet physically tried to take the 14-year-old’s cell phone from her, and the children watched in horror as Jermaine and Randy got into a physical altercation with Trent, who is Joe Jackson’s nephew. Prince Jackson broke his silence Thursday on the drama surrounding his family by tweeting a terse text exchange between he and his aunt Janet which apparently shows the Control singer did not want Prince, nor Paris or Blanket for that matter, to see their grandmother, Katherine Jackson. In the text — sent this past Monday at 4:52 p.m. — Prince Michael writes “This is enough so I am texting you for the simple fact that WE DEMAND TO SPEAK TO MY GRANDMA NOW!” Prince Michael sent the text to his aunts Rebbie and Janet, and also to another relative, Austin Jackson. Janet responded: ‘Don’t let them pls.” Those Tweets were mysteriously deleted from Prince’s profile, and he revealed late Thursday afternoon that his account had been hacked. “The public has seen a very different side of Janet this past week, and she has to be regretting following Randy’s advice. Janet is very much like Katherine in that she likes to keep a low profile, and not have family drama play out in the press,” our family source tells us. SMH, Prince must be cray if he thinks anybody actually believes he was hacked. What do you see happening with this Jackson family feud? Do you think the siblings will be successful in getting Michael’s will overturned?
Let’s be honest Marilyn Monroe has been seen as the ultimate lust symbol for the past 50 years, but a shocking new book reveals that the object of millions of mens’ affections was sexually attracted to women too: According to author Tony Jerris, the Some Like It Hot star had a very memorable night with teenager Jane Lawrence, with whom she had bonded with over their shared troubled family histories. “Jane met Marilyn when she was 12 because her adopted father ran the legal department at RKO studio,” “They soon became close friends after realizing that they had been in the same orphanage at different times of their lives, even though Marilyn was 14 years older, and neither of them knew their birth fathers. They became close friends because there were so many similarities in their past. While Jane had enjoyed encounters with other girls before, one night in 1955 with the Gentlemen Prefer Blondes star catapulted her sexual experiences to a whole new level. She went over to Monroe’s Los Angeles apartment to help her line some shelves, but the night soon turned from home decor to something much more raunchy. While trying to measure paper for the shelves, Lawrence was shocked when her idol suddley planted a kiss on her thigh, with a “mischievous twinkle in her eye. “The next few minutes became hazy, surreal and dream-like. My pulse leaped as Marilyn kissed my thigh again… she then leaned in and kissed me full on the lips, very softly and very slowly. I was nearly hyperventilating,” said Lawrence in the memoir. “We moved through the living room into the bedroom,” she revealed, and as their passion escalated, “Marilyn used her tongue, lavishly flicking and licking, an entirely new sensation for me. “With the girls I had enjoyed sex with, there was often a shyness and hesitancy, not the hunger and confidence Marilyn displayed.” DAYUM!! Marilyn was getting it poppin’ before being bi was the trendy thing for freaky girls to do. Source

Smoking In Movies May Lead To R Rating Tired of seeing people smoking in movies? Okay, maybe you aren’t but you might not want your kids to see it necessarily. Apparently, Hollyweird is developing a way to keep smoking away from your teenage kids’s faces on the big screen. (Health.com) — Movies that show actors smoking tobacco should automatically earn an R rating in order to minimize copycat smoking among impressionable tweens and teenagers, the authors of a new study suggest. PG-13 films account for nearly two-thirds of the smoking scenes adolescents see on the big screen, according to the two-year study, which surveyed roughly 5,000 children ages 10 to 14 about the movies they’d seen and whether they’d ever tried a cigarette. Smoking in PG-13 films — including background shots and other passing instances — was just as strongly linked with real-world experimentation as the smoking in R-rated films. For every 500 smoking scenes a child saw in PG-13 movies, his or her likelihood of trying cigarettes increased by 49%. The comparable figure for R-rated movies was 33%, a statistically negligible difference. Assigning an R rating to all movies portraying smoking would lower the proportion of kids who try cigarettes at this age by 18%, the authors estimate. (Children under 17 must be accompanied by an adult to buy a ticket for an R-rated movie.) This this will work? Or is it just nonsense?
