Janet Bailed Jacko Out

Last week's big Neverland payroll payout came not from a credit line obtained by Michael Jackson's brother Randy.

No, sources tell me it came instead from his pop-star sister, Janet.

Even though Janet's last album, "Damita Jo," was a bust (thanks at least in part to her bust being exposed during the 2004 Super Bowl), Michael's little sister is pretty rich. She makes a bundle touring, for one thing, a source noted.

But Janet's largesse can't become a weekly event.Last week, for example, Randy scrambled to make more payments by combining a few shekels in Michael's Bank of America corporate account with dough he scraped up "on his own."

Where that money came from is a mystery, but this much isn't: No million-dollar credit line appeared last week like manna from heaven.


In fact, Randy had a big problem last week when he tried to borrow money from various sources. Michael's agreement with Bank of America bars him from taking any more loans, even from friends.

At one point I'm told, Randy thought he had a source of cash. But when that source wanted to make sure the money would be returned — making it a loan, not a gift — the bank nixed the idea.

Janet's donation of $150,000 was just that, a gift — and she won't be seeing it returned anytime in the near future.How bad is the cash situation at Neverland? Well, I recently learned that Michael's longtime investigator, Eric Mason, the man who worked for Jackson's attorneys on and off for 12 years, quietly resigned over the winter.

Mason — never a formal Jackson employee — came on the scene with Johnnie Cochran, Zia Modabber and Steve Cochran back in 1994, after celebrity lawyer Bert Fields and private investigator Anthony Pellicano were removed from Jackson's life.

Mason is famous in Jackson circles for his loyalty and steadfastness, as he'd handled all of Michael's disasters since then.

But last November, I am told, Mason finally gave up. Sources say it's unclear whether Michael even knows that Mason is gone, even though the investigator sent him a letter of resignation.

Calls to Mason were not returned

Poor Janet having to be dragged into MJ's shit.
She's an adult woman yet she feels like her family controls her. If i was her i wouldn't give a penny to my brother

In all honesy people

MJ got himself into these financial situations because he does not know how to spend his money properly. He has no proper budget.

Why should Janet give him money because of her brother's spending problems. That won't teach that idiot nothing. He has to learn for himself proper money managing skills. It's all his fault and Janet should not feel obliged to dig him out of any financial situation.

Roger reported last week Randy got it from a video deal. whatever.

Im pretty sure it has to do with being a family,
Michael would most likely do the same for her and any member of his family,
you got to remember that michael has gotten the majority of his brothers out of bankruptcy saved their hhouses
saved his parents house in encino
Now that michaels in need of some cash im sure, that janet is quite willing to do the same,
Cause that is what a family is for, to lean upon one another in need,
Perhaps your an only child and don't know about that.
I know i do,
Coming from a household of 2 bros and 1 sister.

I have 4 brothers, stop making assumptions

My older brother dropped out of high school and had no job. He continued to gauge my mother for money and she was stupid enough to continue to give him money for all the expenses.
This is exactly what MJ will do to his family once he finds out they will do it for him.
No one's helping MJ's problem by providing him with more cash he will most likely waste. We've seen MJ's spending habits
Please stop dragging out these arguments just cause you have something personal against me ok?

jayaredee said:

oh don't be such a martyr i have nothing against you lol
im purely stating a fact. and if you truly believe that
then you could say for the pass decade or so his brothers have been living in MJ's shadow and have been guaging him for money...
it could work both ways dear
i believe you have something personal against michael and you'll do anything to demonize him,
Especially something as innocent as siblings loaning each other money.
don't know why your comparing him with your brother, considering you don't know the man.

You seriously need to seek some guidance i believe cause this type of obsession
is no doubt unhealthy lol
tell voices to give you a few bucks to send you to a therapist.

and im joking
if you take that too seriously, Christ
no one has a sense of humour these days

A lot of people have something against MJ. It's called his lack of common sense. His recent appearances at court are proof of our convictions that MJ has problems.

I have bought everything that man has released in the music and dvd section. i never critisize his art.
But for you who likes to critisize Madonna fans for being the way they are, maybe you should look at the "Man in the mirror" at your silly attempts to defend MJ's every move.

As Voices stands, he gives me all i need
Why don't you joing us? We'll form a threesome

I don't think she sees the gift as her family still controling her. Quite the opposite. SHE IS in control. So much so that she can afford to fill the tab when her family members are in need. They're all family and in many cases family help each other out in dire times of need. So more power to JJ.

whatever...i dunno how u all r but i would help my family memeber out even if at that time we were not speakin 2 eachother or at odds with something...we r still blood!

If it wasn't for michael all of em would still be in Gary. I still love the Jacksons.

Aww thats a great pic...whos that lil baby in the back?-lol

lilgish said:

No, if it wasn't for JOE. They'd still be in Gary probably living around the Midwest and Chicago-area being workaday people. Some in the suburbs, some in apartments -- blahh.

Impressed said:

Joe was essential, but Joe couldn't make it in music. He only took notice in the group when he caught Tito with the guitar, the J5 were already winning talent competitions. If Mike wasn't gifted, they would still be in Gary knocking on people's doors.

lilgish said:

It's an amazing story, nonetheless. Wow.

PleasurePrinciple said:

LOL I was thinking the same thing, I would guess that's Rebe's kid?

well,he/she is very cute

The far end side with Janet, Michael, Tito and the baby is were I would want to sit, plus Rebbie is fine.
