Greed Never Prospers: “Claymation” Jermaine Wants Katherine To Appeal Michael Jackson Wrongful Death Verdict

Jermaine needs that gwap to pay child support. Jermaine Wants Katherine To Appeal Wrongful Death Verdict We all want justice for Katherine and the kids , but something tells us Jermaine is more concerned with money than justice. According to Radar Online Katherine Jackson is being pressured by her “greedy” sons Jermaine and Randy to appeal the decision by the jury in their brother’s billion dollar wrongful death case, RadarOnline.com has been told. The jurors determined death doctor Conrad Murray was competent when he was hired and there was no reason for concert promoter AEG – the promoter of MJ’s doomed “This Is It” comeback concerts – to think he would start employing surgery-style anesthesiology. Despite the verdict in the five-month trial, Katherine has indicated to her lead trial lawyer Brian Panish that she supports his research into an possible appeal. More vocal behind-the-scenes are two of her nine living children. “Randy and Jermaine were stunned and shellshocked… they had been counting on the jury ruling in their favor and were ready for Katherine to divide any financial judgment between all of her children,” a family insider revealed to RadarOnline.com. “Randy in particular feels that the judge made numerous errors in the trial and that there are significant grounds for an appeal.” Randy is no legal expert! In the lawsuit, Jackson’s 83-year-old mother and three children — Prince Michael, Paris and Blanket — had argued that AEG was to blame for their son and father’s death because it was negligent in the hiring and supervision of Murray, who gave Jackson a fatal dose of the anesthetic proposal. However, AEG successfully argued that Jackson had a history of abusing drugs, including the anesthetic that killed him. Despite the courtroom result, Randy and Jermaine — who were both left out of Michael’s will — are “still pushing Katherine,” the source added. “All they want is money. They’re greedy. They tell Katherine they need answers about Michael’s death. “ “Their father left them as sole heirs of his estate, along with Katherine. They will have more than enough money to live a life and not ever worry about financial woes. At least Katherine is being strong . Maybe one day they will be able to hold AEG responsible.

Alanis Morissette Sued By Nanny Over Lack of Meal Breaks, Overtime Pay

Alanis Morissette is being sued by a former nanny who alleges that the singer never paid her overtime or allowed her to take breaks during 12-hour shifts. Morissette, 39, and husband Mario “Souleye” Treadway have been sued by ex-employee Bianca Cambeiro, who filed the claims in court papers Thursday. Cambeiro cared for the couple’s son Ever, who turns three on Christmas of this year, 3-4 days a week. And boy, those 3-4 days a week were rough! Bianca says in court documents that she began working for Alanis Morissette in August 2011 at their Brentwood, Calif., home for the rate of $25 an hour. Sounds like a great gig, right? Not so much, Bianca says. Asked why she wasn’t being paid overtime, Alanis’ accountant allegedly said , “We don’t do that.” And her complaints don’t stop there by any means. Cambeiro claims she was prohibited from leaving the baby’s room while it was sleeping unless one of the parents or until the day shift nanny relieved her. According to the documents, the ex-nanny seeks no less than $100,000 for a list of reasons, including emotional distress, attorney fees and lost wages. As a non-exempt employee who worked over 10 hours a day, she claims she was legally entitled to a minimum of two 30-minute meal breaks each shift. Morissette’s camp has yet to respond to the lawsuit.
