they're also gonna be on regis and kelly

Wish I had known. I wonder if they'll mention why Randy's not in the show.

I thinking Randy sided with Rebbie into believing that this reality TV show is a bad idea.

Funny, they couldn't organize a tour or another album but they sure got this reality show going.

Where have u been? They've been pitching this reality show since before MJ died.

Under a rock, I ain't shame to admit it. D'Prettyman with all this mess coming at us 10,000 cable channels, Blogs, Facebook, MYSPACE, Twitter, TM Z, the net, YouTube 24/7 news, gossip and innuendo I can't keep up with all this shit.

The Jackson boys were going to have a reality show even when Michael was still alive. Jermaine was hoping that Michael would make a surprise appearance on the season finale that would have set the stage of The Jackson Reunion Tour.

Now the whole concept of the reality show has been reinvented to tell the story of how The Jackson boys are moving on with their lives months after Michael's dead. It has been reported that although LaToya is all in favor of the show, Rebbie & Randy are dead set against the idea. No reports on what Janet thinks of all of this.

Did you not watch the interview? Janet don't want anything to do with it either.

Timmy84 said:

I think Janet should do her own documentary. It would be cool to see how she acts when she's in the studio writing.

TonyVanDam said:

I know they've been planning this for awhile and have been following the reality show updates. I just think it's too bad they couldn't get an actual performance together instead--with or without Michael. And I wanted them to speak to exactly why Randy is not partaking.

Timmy84 said:

I know Janet doesn't want to have anything to do with it. But does she think it was a good OR bad idea for her brothers to have the reality show at all?!?

TonyVanDam said:

Shit I think she shakes her head at her brothers. She don't wanna start a fuss so she keeps her mouth shut lol

JackieBlue said:

randy said he's not doing the show cause he chose not to. i think he's focusing on his brother's death and also there seems to be a rift with him and them, he's always M.I.A

mimi07 said:

Yeah. I'm actually surprised that Marlon is partaking.

mimi07 said:

You figured that Randy is looking for Michael's real murderers?!? I wouldn't put it pass him.

It's well know that Randy was always the one Jackson that was a man of action. Hell, he was THE only family member that saved LaToya from her abusive husband.

TonyVanDam said:

here are two tweets from randy

Underneath all the excitement & pandemonium, a murder hasn’t been solved. This family will not forget that, because I won’t let them.

2 things 2 make clear. I've never had a job in a garage changing tires. And yes, I chose not to be on the reality show.

I think it's a bad idea

SoulAlive said:

the show? why?

SoulAlive said:

Have 2 have some cash flow.

mimi07 said:

Yes, that said it all.

TD3 said:

That's was funny, but ur rite.

TonyVanDam said:

a lot of posters on mj boards always talk about the deposition mj gave a couple of years ago wherein he seemed to accuse randy and another man of trying to pressure him into signing away the rights to the atv catalog. and that randy was directly responsible for the debacle of the employees not being paid at the ranch. and that randy's one of the family members who has been trying to get mj's will invalidated in order to get control.

do you know or have an opinion about these rumors?

JackieBlue said:

the networks weren't really interested in this show until mj died. mj wasn't even interested.

randy is probably not participating for two main reasons (outside of it being a bad idea, as soulalive said). one, jermaine is a media whore. with mj out of the way, so to speak, he moves up in the line-up as the most popular member of the j5. randy was not a part of the j5. with him in the line-up, the jacksons became a different group, one in which he played an important role. he and mj wrote some of group's memorable hits.

why would randy want to see himself be marginalized by the likes of jermaine, who came whoring and pushing his way back into the group after they contined to progress, and especially after mj hit the really big time?

second, although i'm sure they are civil, i can't believe that randy would want to spend a whole lot time in jermaine's presence for obvious reasons. i'm a scorpio, too; we hold grudges!

I was aware that before the trial, it was Randy's idea to get Michael bodyguards from the NOI. If not else, the NOI got their payments!

lol at the suggestions of what these guys should
do with their lives. Relax,it's just a reality show.
Should be interesting. They are the most popular sibling
family in entertainment. It it will give a more in depth
look into their lives behind the music.
What are these guys suppose to do,shut themselves down
and not enjoy life? I think the fact that they've lost
their sibling has invigorated these guys to live.
Tomorrow is not guaranteed.

kibbles said:

I just wanted to actually hear them address it... you know the words from their mouths but I'm over it. Despite everything, the Jacksons hold a special place in my heart. Regardless, I always thought it would be interesting to see them on a regular basis. With all the crap reality shows, why not?

I know they wanted MJ to join and that was not gonna happen save for him in the background waving from the backseat of a speeding SUV.
