there was a link to the actual story on another board i was on, but basically yes, the brothers had filmed a 'on-off' hour episode that was already in the can for a&e. there was probably an idea to show it to see if there would be any interest in a full series, then mj died and of course that question became a no-brainer. so now the series will focus not just on the brothers' attempt to go on w/o mj (which begs the question, what have they been doing for 20+ years to 'go on' since mj hasn't toured with them since '84), but how they're dealing with his sudden death.

some poster who saw the sneak peek on entertainment tonight, said there was drama. tito was saying something about it being his turn to shine, and jermaine came to the meeting talking about how he wanted to sing everything and tito gave him a funny look. i won't be watching but i'll be sure to catch the comments of those of you who will be.
on edit: mj and his kids weren't in the episode they shot at all, and i hope that remains the case. i hope they aren't filming for the reality show at the memorial, unless they only show the brothers, not the kids or mj!!!

did someone post the R kelly interview? about him claiming to finish his / theire songs?

They're all going to be outside the gate. Remember when he died and they were outside the home, outside the hospital, etc.? Same thing. Nobody is going to film the actual funeral.

The best they'll get is "That was the Jackson Family pulling into the gates".

I really highly doubt this is True.

They shouldn't even be doing that. I have a real dislike to public funerals. Just seeing bits of Marvin's and Mary's make me cringe. Or even funerals for the Kennedys.

You'd also think it would be against the law to take pictures of young kids, with masks on or not, and print them in magazines and post them on the web without permission, but its not. Crazy world.

I'm sure it is.

Timmy84 said:

Just thank goodness he's going to be buried smh .I watch the Memorial and that's all i'm going to watch ..this one should have been PRIVATE .But his family went around telling the media when his burial is being taken place so of course the media all on this.I'm pretty much done with this not even gonna lie

trueiopian said:

How can you be so sure about that?

babybugz said:

Well, the media was going to find out regardless, and were going to be there. So by having a private ceremony with the media at a distance is probably the best thing to do. Forget about having an unknown, secret service, because if they had tried that and the info leaked, you would have seen a bigger mess.

that's true but I just think the whole thing is a little too expose like enough already but it don't matter to me because it don't concern me lol

babybugz said:

I agree. It is too much.

UPDATE: -- 7:19 -- The Jackson family is making Liz Taylor wait. Liz Taylor!!! She showed up on time ... and now she has to sit there waiting ... stop making Liz Taylor wait!!!!

UPDATE: -- 7:13 -- the funeral was supposed to begin 13 minutes ago, and the Jackson family has not left the damn house yet. Barry Bonds doesn't like to wait.....

UPDATE: -- 6:41 -- a bunch of people keep walking around trying to look important .. they keep opening and closing the gate ... we have no idea why they haven't left yet ... it takes more than 20 mins to get from Encino to Glendale ...even with a police escort.

WHAT!?!

Whats with all the lighting and production equipment

I said earlier in the post that it might be filmed for the reality show ..well some are saying on other messageboards

Militant said:

You guys prove my point. probably non-black, became fans from the bad era onwards yet preferred MJ loooking as far away from his original self. Infact Michael was far more stylish back in his OTW/Thriller era. I think his fashion sense got worse as time went on.

babybugz said:

Which is so low if its true

Anyone think it could be for the film This is It?
