Jermaine Jackson Withdraws From MJ Estate Rebellion … Mostly

Jermaine Jackson, one of the main players in the family revolt against the Michael Jackson Estate, has officially defected from the rebellion … mostly. While he has “deep reservations” about their conduct, Jermaine is bowing out of official efforts to challenge the power of his late brother’s executors. “I rescind my signature from the letter which was sent to the Estate, and which should never have gone public,” Jermaine Tweeted Wednesday. “I still hold deep reservations about many issues involving the Estate,” he adds. “I will continue to bring scrutiny and a resolute voice wherever we have great cause for concern. But the way to address such matters is through the proper channels and via a private dialogue, not public conflict.” “In this spirit, I offer this statement by way of extending an olive-branch.” That would be long overdue, following their apparent coup attempt to wrest guardianship of Michael’s kids away from their grandmother and guardian. Jermaine and Tito are no longer backing the family’s bid to oust the executors, who they even suggested are actively mistreating Katherine Jackson . The signatures of Janet Jackson – who was accused of a physical and verbal altercation with Paris Jackson – Rebbie, and Randy remain on the letter. All are still barred from their mom’s house by court order. Prince, Paris and Blanket are under the temporary guardianship of TJ Jackson, Tito’s son. [Photo: WENN.com]

Lawsuits: Janet Jackson Considering Suing Over Reports She Slapped Niece Paris

Janet Jackson Denies Slapping Paris Jackson Or Calling Her Expletive Janet Jackson is so upset over reports that she slapped her niece Paris and called her a lil beyotch that she’s considering suing the media outlet that first published the story: Last week, internet rumors surfaced concerning an alleged altercation between Janet Jackson and her niece Paris. Today, Janet Jackson’s attorney, Blair G. Brown, tells The Insider that Janet vehemently denies the altercation. “Ms. Jackson did not slap Paris, and did not call her a ‘spoiled little b!tch’ or a ‘b!tch,’” says Brown. According to Brown, Janet is threatening legal action towards the source that originally reported the claims. Brown says that the “false statements are highly damaging to Ms. Jackson’s reputation and have caused her significant harm.” Yesterday, attorneys for the estate of Michael Jackson confirmed to The Insider that Janet, Randy, Rebbie and Jermaine Jackson (and all of Katherine’s GRANDCHILDREN belonging to them) were prohibited from entering the Calabasas home shared by Paris, Prince, Blanket and Katherine Jackson “following the events of July 23 in which certain members of the Jackson family showed up unannounced at the Calabasas residence of Michael Jackson’s mother and children, causing a very public disturbance.” The attorneys for Michael Jackson’s estate did not elaborate on the nature of the disturbance and what exactly took place. This whole thing is a mess and we still can’t understand why Janet got involved in the first place — especially to side with her adult hoodrat brothers Randy and Jermaine who wed and had kids with the same woman! SMH, you know that family got problems when there are kids running around who are brothers AND cousins! Source

Yes, Yes, My Precious! Hobbit Trilogy Confirmed

That sound you hear is the cheering of  hairy-footed Tolkien addicts everywhere. At 11:30 a.m. Monday morning, the lord of The Lord of the Rings franchise Peter Jackson confirmed via his Facebook page that The Hobbit would indeed be a trilogy. “It is only at the end of a shoot that you finally get the chance to sit down and have a look at the film you have made,” Jackson wrote. “Recently Fran [Walsh], Phil [Boyens] and I did just this when we watched for the first time an early cut of the first movie — and a large chunk of the second. We were really pleased with the way the story was coming together, in particular, the strength of the characters and the cast who have brought them to life.  All of which gave rise to a simple question: do we take this chance to tell more of the tale? And the answer from our perspective as the filmmakers, and as fans, was an unreserved ‘yes.'” “We know how much of the story of Bilbo Baggins, the Wizard Gandalf, the Dwarves of Erebor, the rise of the Necromancer, and the Battle of Dol Guldur will remain untold if we do not take this chance,” Jackson continued.  “The richness of the story of  The Hobbit , as well as some of the related material in the appendices of  The Lord of the Rings , allows us to tell the full story of the adventures of Bilbo Baggins and the part he played in the sometimes dangerous, but at all times exciting, history of Middle-earth.” You could almost hear trumpets sounding when Jackson added: “So, without further ado and on behalf of New Line Cinema, Warner Bros. Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Wingnut Films, and the entire cast and crew of “The Hobbit” films, I’d like to announce that two films will become three. It has been an unexpected journey indeed, and in the words of Professor Tolkien himself, “a tale that grew in the telling.” Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.

Is Brother Randy To Blame For Janet Jackson Siding With Siblings To Contest Michael Jackson’s Will???

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?

Randy Jackson Rants: Executors Want to Murder My Mom!

Katherine Jackson is resting safely at home and has even agreed to split guardianship of her grandchildren with TJ Jackson . So all is relatively calm on this family’s front, right? Very wrong. Randy Jackson went off on a Twitter rant this afternoon, accusing the executors of his brother’s will of an assassination plot against his mom. “It is my fear and belief, that they are trying to take my mother’s life,” Randy wrote of those in charge of Michael’s estate, adding that they are attempting to “isolate Katherine just like they did to Michael, in order to propagate their lies, financial agendas and to protect a fraudulent will.” And that’s what it all comes down to for Randy, sources say: he is not mentioned in his brother’s will and many believe he will go to any length necessary to change that. “It is clear that anyone who stands up against the Executors of the Estate – John Branca, John McClain and their attorney Howard Weitzman – is denied access to my mother.” What an absolute mess. Try to rest in peace, Michael, even as your family makes that very difficult.

Liberty Ross on Marriage to Rupert Sanders: Difficult, Lonely

Somewhat lost amidst the shock and sadness of Kristen Stewart cheating on Robert Pattinson is the other side of this dishonest coin: Rupert Sanders, with whom Stewart made out on at least one occasion, is a married man with two children. And in an ironic bit of timing, his wife – 33-year old model Liberty Ross – opened up to YOU Magazine just two weeks ago about her marriage to the director. It’s not excuse whatsoever, but there clearly have been problems at home. “I romanticized domesticity for a while, and loved having a shopping list of groceries stuck to the fridge for the first time,” Ross told the publication. “But moving here and starting a life all over again was a lot harder than I had anticipated. I just didn’t think it would be as isolating and daunting as it turned out to be.” With Sanders off filming Snow White and the Huntsman , Ross admits she got very lonely. “I would never say out loud that I am raising my children alone, but a lot of the time it has felt like that.” Ross also lamented how she went from working in the modeling industry with stalwarts such as Karl Lagerfeld and John Galliano… to “living on an isolated hilltop with my husband gone most of the time.” However, she ended the interview on a positive note: “That’s why everything feels so amazing now. We rode through the really hard times and we stuck it out.” Yeah. About that… Sanders issued his own apology yesterday after news of his dalliance with Stewart broke. He said: “My beautiful wife and heavenly children are all I have in this world. I love them with all my heart. I am praying that we can get through this together.”

Prince Jackson Lashes Out, Alleges Mistreatment of Grandmother

grandma’s here! #thankyougod. So Paris Jackson Tweeted this morning, expressing gratitude that Katherine Jackson returned home after 10 days apart from the three children for whom she had been serving as legal guardian. But the scandal surrounding this 82-year old, her extended disappearance and the alleged plot surrounding her children trying to change Michael Jackson’s will is far from over. Prince Jackson actually got involved in the saga today, posting a text message from July 23 on Twitter today that reads: “This is enough so I am texting you for the simple fact that WE DEMAND TO SPEAK TO MY GRANDMA NOW!!!” The creepy response appears to be from Janet Jackson and it says: “Don’t let them pls.” Prince goes on to bash the relatives that supposedly took Katherine from her California home – led by uncle Randy Jackson – and writes: “Although I am happy my grandma was returned, after speaking with her I realized how misguided and how badly she was lied to. I’m really angry and hurt. For this whole time, they denied us contact to our grandmother. If you continue with your lies I will continue with the truth.” Katherine Jackson spoke out last night for the first time and claimed she just needed a brief vacation. But her state in the interview and the fact that she never made contact with Prince, Paris and Blanket raise many questions over just what the heck has been going on. Conclude Prince, the oldest of MJ’s three kids: “As long as I can remember my dad had repeatedly warned me of certain people and their ways.”

Katherine Jackson Speaks Out: I’m Fine!

Katherine Jackson has spoken out for the first time since she abruptly left her home in California for a supposedly doctor-recommended vacation in Arizona. Considering the 82-year old mother of Michael Jackson, and legal guardian of his three kids, did not speak to her grandchildren during her time away, there’s been talk that Katherine was taken/held against her will. But she claims that wasn’t the case.

Jackson Family Drama: “Drugged Up” Granny Katherine Stripped Of Guardianship Over MJ’s Kids, Temporary Custody Given To Tito’s Son TJ

A famous family in crisis Katherine Jackson has been temporarily stripped of her guardianship over Michael Jackson’s 3 kids, and an L.A. judge just appointed Tito Jackson’s son TJ to become the temporary guardian. Via TMZ reports : And there’s more … Judge Mitch Beckloff advised TJ and his lawyer, Charles Shultz, to seek a permanent guardianship, after hearing stories that Katherine may have been held against her will “from third parties.” Translation — Randy, Janet, Jermaine and Rebbie. Before handing down the ruling, TJ’s lawyer told the judge TJ got a strange phone call from Katherine yesterday. TJ said, “I’ve never heard my grandmother talk like that.” TJ added, “She wasn’t sharp. The pauses, choice of vocabulary … she has not used certain phrases like that before.” TJ thought she was talking in code. TJ choked up as he addressed the court. TMZ broke the story that TJ would make this move — a move supported by Paris, Prince, and Blanket, as well as the Michael Jackson Estate. That strange call from Katherine may have been due to her being under the influence of more than just her emotions: Katherine Jackson called her home in Calabasas at 2 AM today and again at 4 AM, sounding “drugged” and ordering that the security team be fired and replaced by Janet Jackson’s security … TMZ has learned. A lawyer in court today made reference to “an incident” last night — this is the incident. Sources involved in the situation tell TMZ … people in the house were “alarmed and nervous” after hearing Katherine sounding heavily drugged. Our sources say the prevailing view is that Randy and company have drugged their mom. What in the world?! First Katherine is reported missing then it seems like all hell has broken lose within this family . Michael has to be rolling in his grave to fathom his children, mother and siblings are warring like this. What is going on with the Jackson family???
