Yeah. Jermaine said during his interview before the show that he ad no clue about the tribute, which was a lie because him and Joe wouldn't have been there just to be there. They knew about it.

These are from '07. He looks good except I don't like his eyebrows. They're too thick.

Michael Jackson's envious sister

Michael Jackson's half-sister JohVonnie Jackson claims meeting him was "the biggest letdown" of her life.


JohVonnie - whose mother Cheryl Terrell had a 25-year affair with Michael's father Joe - says the late singer was "disinterested" and "cold" when she finally met him in 2003.

Then 29 years old, JohVonnie was thrilled when she was invited to Michael's Neverland ranch after years of attending his concerts but was shocked to discover the star was far more interested in her eight-year-old daughter.

She said: "It was a big moment for me. But Michael was looking at me and seemed cold. He just said, 'Hi', and then he saw my daughter Yasmine and was fascinated with her.

"He never acknowledged that I was his sister, there was no hug or kiss, not even a handshake. No physical contact at all.

"I wanted to embrace him. I thought he would want to go some place quiet and sit and talk with me and ask me about my life and get to know me a little better. It was very hurtful. He was not interested at all."

However, Michael - who died of acute Propofol intoxication on June 25 - was very affectionate to Yasmine, which upset her mother.

JohVonnie added to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "With my daughter he was totally different. She got hugs and kisses, everything I didn't get. I was a little jealous. But there was a bunch of people there and I never did get a chance to speak to Michael properly. Again, there was this theme that I felt shut out."

JohVonnie, now 35, never saw the 'Bad' singer again. She claims she is still being shunned by her other famous siblings.

Meanwhile, Michael's older sister La Toya has claimed the star "constantly" feared for his life.

In an interview with Barbara Walters, she said: "I knew Michael was surrounded by people that positioned themselves in his life, positioned themselves to control and take advantage of him.

"And that's what bothered me more than anything else because I knew something terrible would happen at the end.

"Not to mention the fact that Michael constantly told me, 'La Toya... if I die... they're going to murder me, they're going to kill me.' "

I feel sorry for her a bit when I read that. Yeah she's Joe's child, but still. If I were in that same position as she was, I'd feel hurt.

Yeah, the tribute WAS the promo. J-Fab thought he was slick with that.

Its hard to judge MJ's ability by those clips.

It'll easier once people get to see the whole thing.

It looks impressive so far.

But like a book, you can't judge it by its cover.

Brooke Shields used to call him on the phone a lot. This was the pre-cell phone era, so I would usually answer his calls and then have to go find him in the studio. She was always really nice to me.
This is true. Sheryl said in a VH1 interview that she and the band used to make bets every night on if MJ would get an erection during their duet. Apparently, he always got one when he sung "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" with her.

liz had her panties in a bunch with any woman/male vrying for mike attention like herself, which is probably why her and LMP hated each other lol.

i remember a old newspaper article ( i see if i can find it) but if about when the neverland staff knew that LMP was there to stay for a long time and wasnt just some fling. they mentioned it was when she started giving his neverland staff orders , which was surprising to most of them since no woman that had been in that house usually give order and according to them even liz had to ask mike first before she gave orders but LMP before they even got married was already behaving like lady of the house; which according to the staff mike just allowed her.

Q.You were Jackson's background singer on his Bad tour. What's the freakiest thing you saw backstage?

A.The opening show in Europe was a complete and total circus, verging on freak show. You had Sophia Loren and her camp on one side and Liz Taylor's camp on the other, and it was a real battle for Michael's attention. For someone who'd just left Missouri and moved to California, to be suddenly rubbing elbows with Sophia Loren and Quincy Jones and Bubbles the traveling chimp was pretty surreal.

I remember hearing that he would go to Barney's in NYC with a model that was her size and then pick out dresses for her. When he found a dress he would buy them all so that she would be the only one with it

I can understand why he would'nt have been as welcoming as she expected Michael to be. If my father had cheated on my Mom,and had another kid,and then I was introduced to them 29 years later,I sure as hell would'nt be greeting them with hugs,and kisses either.

This is not her fault. She's a result of certain circumstances which occurred which are not in her own control.

Its her mother that they should be angry at and being cold towards, not Joh-Vonnie

Michael Jackson wrote a novel

New York publishers are involved in a bidding war for the rights to a secret novel Michael Jackson wrote.

It is not known when the King of Pop put pen to paper and wrote the fictional account of a rock star's struggles with money and fame at the height of his success.

A source tells Essence.com the untitled book mirrors Jackson's own rise to superstardom and self-imposed seclusion.

Insiders claim the late star conceptualized the plot and characters - and then worked with a collaborator on the story and accompanying illustrations.
