The Michael Jackson/Janet/Jacksons Family TOUR....COMING SOON!!

OK This came from Roger from FOX News. But it sounds VERY interesting. Take it with a grain of salt. Here we go:

Jacko, Janet Will Tour

It had to happen eventually: With no work coming his way, Michael Jackson, sources say, has agreed to do a tour with sister Janet and his brothers.

I'm told that Michael reluctantly met with his siblings on Monday in Las Vegas. Sisters Janet and Rebbie, as well as Jermaine, Randy, Marlon, Tito and Jackie, all knocked on Jackson's Las Vegas door around 7:30 p.m. Nanny Grace Rwaramba, who runs the door, made them wait between 30 and 60 minutes before allowing the brood in.

What was discussed was the family's financial situation and the fact that Jackson has so far been unable to get work in Vegas. Sources say concert promoter Leonard Rowe of Atlanta, who worked with the Jacksons in the 1980s, was there and made a proposal: a family tour with all members.

The weird thing is, Michael seemed to understand what was happening.

That's good, too, because Jackson is still "radioactive," according to those familiar with the casino business. For example: The owner of one big casino hotel in the Caribbean recently told his chief executive to make sure Jackson was not invited to a big music event being arranged there this summer.

A successful Jackson family tour could change all that for Michael. It would also be a financial boon to a family that needs cash in a hurry. Jackson recently took a new mortgage on his parents' home, and his own home — the Neverland Valley Ranch — is in hoc to the tune of $25 million. Jackson himself relies on cash from royalties on his own songs. But that only comes to a maximum of $7 million a year. As described in court testimony, Jackson could go through that kind of money in just a couple of weeks.

The tour idea also works for Janet Jackson, whose last two albums have been huge duds. The idea of Michael and Janet performing a couple of duets, or Janet's brothers backing her on her own hits, would be a tantalizing notion to any promoter.

The question remains: If Michael agreed, will he go through with it?
Stay tuned. ...

This is just Friedman dreaming. Not gonna happen. I'd love a Jacksons tour, but not if they brought Janet along. No offense to her. I just like it when the brothers perform together. Their voices work well together.

I sort of suspect the same thing. However, who are his sources? Does anyone know?

If he says this tour is happening, it will never happen! It will happen the same day Issac Hayes gets better from his stroke!


And if Latoya was on this fake tour, I'd totally buy an imaginary ticket! And Janet's brothers backing her on her hits...Wow!

This Grace Rwaramba woman is to Michael Jackson what Eugene Landy was to Brian Wilson in my opinion. It just doesn't sound healthy the sheer amount of 'sway' she seems to have.

I wouldn´t worry about anything being even a bit true in this article. You´re acting as if you´ve never heard of Roger Frieman.

As for Grace...who knows....they might be having an affair...She´s always seemed suspicious to me. They look too close. ;-)And sometimes it seems that she´s looking more after Mike than kids. Here they are shoping together.

As much as I'd like to blame Grace for everything, in Michael's world, Michael sets up walls for people. He doesn't want himself to be easily reached. In the 80's, it was DiLeo. His family never could get in touch with him. He wanted it that way. After that, it was "the germans." People would say, they were the ones keeping Michael from people. Now while I think Grace may have her motives, and may be "living in Mike's wake" (so to speak), I think she isn't the first and won't be the last, I'm sure. Michael doesn't want just anyone around him, and so he sets up the wall. You know at Neverland, there is a brown wall, before you enter the main Neverland gates. It is like a symbol for Michael's life. He wants a wall up, keeping himself seperate from other people, partly because he needs it for his own safety, and partly because it is the way he wants it.

Well, we´ll never be sure of her position in Mike´s team. I guess, yes, Mike tends to cut himself off from people - how much he does that, we can only speculate. But I take anything from Roger as pure fiction untill I hear it from other source. He´s lied so many times.

Basically, from what I've read about the matter, she felt like he didn't view "them" as a couple, and more like, he was free to do what he wants and pleases and not tell her anything. She felt like he left her in the dark a lot of times, and was, in her words, "selfish."

It is weird, because years later, after they split up, Janet and Lisa started hanging out A LOT. And, Michael contacted Janet right away, asking 100 questions, mainly, "Did she talk about me?" It was mentioned in a 1999 or 2000 article of Life Magazine, that Michael still slept with a picture of Lisa Marie on his nightstand. How sad. sad

They have been friend since they were Kids...from Vegas. Maybe MJ was a bit shelfish. Also Lisa is know for being someone very possessive...see what happened to Nicholas Cage

I disagree. I would play good money to see Rebbie, LaToya, & Janet try to be the girl band they should have been. biggrin

Well, I think they divorced because she wouldn´t give him kids which she later regreted based on what the two of them said.
I remember reading several times during their marriage Michael saying they were working on a child wheneer he was asked about the rumour whether Lisa was pregnant. It´s weird that she didn´t get pregnant, because Lisa said herself that he wanted kids badly and wouldn´t "leave her alone" and that she managed to get out of that because whenever she thought of having kids with him she could imagine only nightmere custody battle.
One of MJ´s ex-emloyee who posted on several boards said that MJ once found her birthcontrol pills that she took secretly and they had huge argument after which Mj left and wouldn´t have contacted LIsa for several weeks. Lisa confirmed in one interview that "something happened, she can´t say what, and that she hasn´t heard from him for weeks". and first time she saw him after the argument was this night.


That´s why she looked so pissed that night.
Anyways, later on, after Prince was born, Mike said in one interview that she told him "she regreted not having a child with him".
Anyways, they seemed to get on well after the divorce. Lisa kept following him all over the world for a while looking very happy.
