A few nose jobs, her boobs are real
remember the SB? She probably got a breast lift around the 20 Y.O. era since she lost a lot of weight.

That's it

Yea, I remember in the 20 Y.O. era when she was butt naked by the pool and the paps snapped pics and filmed her playing with her ass and titties. Everything looked very real. lol

This photoshoot was from the spring 2007 issue of Sly & Chic magazine (in the UK). It's probably the best thing, photography-wise, to come from that era.

This thread is funny lol

What I really hate is that....before MJ's death,nobody cared about the other Jacksons.They were obsolete and forgotten.But now,all of a sudden,they are everywhere.Jermaine is writing a book,the brothers are doing a reality show,LaToya is on 'The View' and even Joe is launching a new record label :rolll: I wish these people would disappear again! I know that's harsh but it's how I really feel.

As for Janet,I see nothing wrong with her doing this interview.At least she will be talking about something important for a change...instead of her sex life with Jermaine Dupri (lol).


Thank goodness we'll be spared this time around about hearing how much she wuvs her little troll, I mean, er uh, her little Jermaine.lol

The rest however, brings me to another question though, because it's a sentiment I hear repeated over and over again on some of these threads:

Seriously, Soul Alive; why should the Jacksons disappear?

No matter what they do the public is going to give them the shitty end of the stick and they will not escape our collective (and generally negative) judgement.

I mean, before Michael's death they were chastized for not working in jobs that we, the public deemed appropriate for their famous show biz lineage. People screamed,"why don't they sing? Why don't they dance? Why don't they tour? Why don't they get involved in some other facet of show business? Michael does all the work and they're just lazy, etc." Even I'm guilty of it; having moaned and groaned for years that Jermaine hadn't taken his 1980's r&b hits and hit the niche 70's-80' r&b nostalgia circuit that would be receptive to his work.

Even those who do work consistently (Tito with his blues band doing ordinary gigs, and Latoya with her endless hairbrained C-list celebrity endoresements)get judged just for making a living with what they've got.

When Randy was found to be a shelf stocker at a supermarket, the general public ridiculed this man and spoke ill of him as if he were a sideshow freak that shot up a schoolyard full of children disbelief

For those who want to criticize these people for taking these opportunities to make a living, my question is not only why, but what would you have them do instead?

Okay, there was little public interest in them as a whole before their brother's death. So what? There were no opportunities for them, but now there are offers out there.

Micheal is gone, he is not coming back, and life has to move forward.

What are they supposed to do? Hang up the phone on any production company that calls, and go back to stocking shelves at 40 something years old? At what point should they simply be allowed to find ways to eat? At what point do we in the public let go of the ridiculous notion that we are somehow entitled to sanction or bestow blessing on what creative projects come their way?

These people are advancing in age, with families to feed. Personally, I don't see where any of these ventures are illegal or immoral, although as a rukle I am a firm follower of and believer in proper social ettiquette, regardless of professional field. Therefore I do agree there should be a respectable amount of time passed before certain endeavors are engaged in. However, for all the opportunities being presented to them, as long as they don't involved ill-intentioned behavior or character assasination, and simply focus on their joy for the art of performing, I think the vitriol being spewed their way is nothing more than silly, nothing less than irrational, and entirely unreasonable. Should Liza Minelli and Lorna Luft have stopped performing or speaking of their mother Judy Gardland after she died? Should Marlo Thomas have discontinued the efforts and message her father Danny Thomas began in his work with St.Judes after his passing? Honestly, the projections and unreasonable expectations we in the public place on celebrities (who are in fact, people we don't even know personally) is staggering.

Again, for those criticizing these people for accepting jobs that will allow them to respectfully make a living, my question to you is, what would you have them do instead to feed their families and pay their bills ? Better yet, ask yourself what you would do if you were in their place? Even if your answer is different from what you see (or think you understand) they are doing, people need to wake up and understand at the end of the day we really have no right to expect them to do what we perceive is right for getting food on their tables, making sure their taxes are paid, and that they will have survival money to carry them into their old age. Just a thought.

By the way, Soul, this post wasn't directed at you personally, it's more of a question for everyone on the thread lol

You're absolutely right,they gotta do what they gotta do shrug It's just so annoying to pick up a magazine and read about "the return of LaToya",you know what I mean? lol There is a reason why these people were ignored all these decades,lol.

is it really true that randy was a supermarket shelver? the only place i heard that was from a ny post article. and wasn't it marlon who was supposed to be the stocker?

i remember the wall st. journal railing about minority set asides for tv station licenses and being incensed that someone like marlon jackson was able to get in on a sweet deal like that, the implication being that he was a wealthy man so why should he automatically get a lowered price than a wealthy white man. their argument aside, it would seem that marlon had other business ventures. isn't he the one spearheading project for the resort near a former slave port in nigeria?

so i'm thinking randy may have had some other stuff on the side. the jacksons music sells and since he and mj wrote some of their biggest hits, i'm sure he gets some royalties from that, no?

Actually, I love the Jacksons they make me feel closer to Michael, and the Jackson reality show was already in the works and filmed before Michael died.

Also, it's not "all of the sudden," the Jacksons have always been active.

Latoya Jackson:

Co-hosted "The View" in 2004
Latoya did "Mad TV" in 1998
Latoya did Larry King Live in 2003
Anna Nicole Smith show in 2004
Acess Hollywood in 2003
20/20 in 2005
A reality show called "Armed and Famous"in 2007
Celebrity Big Brother in 2009
And other talks shows and radio shows since 2000s.
She also had planned to do a movie.

Jermaine Jackson:

The View in 2003
Larry King Live in 2003
Unsung in 2008
Ole School with Terry and Gita in 2008
Australian Idol in 2008
Celebrity Big Brother in 2007
The Early Show in 2004
Inside Edition in 2004
Motown 45 in 2004
Michael Jackson 30th Anniversary 2001


Jackie Jackson:

Did Armed and Famous in 2007
Michael Jackson 30th Anniversary in 2001

And the other Jacksons have made appearances on talk shows and other shows as well. There was even talks of the Jackson 5 touring again. They haven't been obselete or forgotten. They have always been of interest, even when low key. The Jacksons are musical royalty and LEGENDS.

I remember being a huge fan of Janet's in the 90's! I went to her Rhythm Nation tour when I was a youngin' lol Hands down! the greatest female entertainer of our time. But her music just went downhill after All for You! It probably has to do with her dating that one Hip-hop producer. I hope she finds herself one of these days. I'm looking forward to her next album since she's back with Jimmy and Terry. They seem to get the best out of Janet.

Jackie wasn't on Armed and Famous!

Have you noticed that the years Latoya and Jermaine did those interviews was when MJ was charged with child molestation!!

Both are fake as hell! Latoya talked about MJ like he was a criminal during the '93 allegations!

No. The interviews were after 1993 and after 2004. Their appearances had nothing to do with the molestation charges. It was about themselves or their own projects. The point is, they haven't all of the sudden became visible. They have always been visible.

Also, Latoya Jackson's husband (Jack Gordon) forced her to say that about Michael. He beat her, poisoned her, and threatened to kill Michael and her siblings if she didn't do what he wanted her to do. He exploited Latoya for money. Jack Gordon had a criminal record and ties with the mob. I remember seeing Latoya's badly bruised and bloodied face in the newspapers after Jack Gordon had given her another beating. Randy finally rescued her. I'm so glad Latoya got away from that abusive man. It's sad that people are always trying to exploit and use the Jackson family. I heard one of Michael's personal assistants was trying to take over Michael's life and was a dangerous man who had threatened some people before. It sounds like the same thing that happened to Latoya might of happened to Michael.

well, that and because they've always been in mj's shadow. now that he's out of the way they know that people will pay attention to them.

when i was little, the jacksons had a variety show right after they left motown. i always thought it was a big hit, but maybe not as it was a summer replacement series and then picked up for fall or spring, then didn't come back. it was the first time most people realized that the jackson brothers had sisters.

even then it was soooo obvious that mj was the star...and running a very close second, janet. she stole every skit she was in.

janet was lucky. she wasn't teathered to the j5 like mj was. she was able to chart her own course without feeling so beholden to her brothers, or made to ensure that everyone lived the hollywood lifestyle. if we scratch beneath the surface of mj's debts, i'm sure we'll find that it wasn't just failed business investments, or charge-backs from sony, or legal fees, or his own wasteful spending. we'll find the debts of his siblings and their families.


True. But I don't think Janet's in MJ's shadow. She was early in her career but she eventually became an artist/entertainer in her own right. I agree that the rest of his siblings are though. It's quite sad too! I remember watching an interview with Marlon and he was asked about MJ for about 50% of the interview and his thoughts about Janet (This was in '87). He was promoting his own album! I think the brothers got it worse. Maybe why they let their solo careers just evaporate. Lazy mothafuckas! Janet worked her ass off to get to where she is they probably could've done the same (especially Randy and Jermaine). Rebbie didn't really care for a career in music. She probably just did those albums just to say "Yes, I'm a Jackson and I have a gold record too" (Side note: Latoya is the only Jackson that doesn't have a gold record lol). I think Latoya is the only other Jackson that's really trying to please Joe...still. The rest of them just gave up! The reason why MJ and Janet worked as hard as they did is to fufill Joe's dream and they know it!

Jermaine- 7 top 40 pop singles, 19 top 40 R&B singles
LaToya- 5 top 40 R&B singles
Marlon- 1 top 40 R&B single
Michael- 40 top 40 pop singles, 42 top 40 R&B singles
Randy- 1 top 40 R&B single
Janet- 32 top 40 pop singles, 42 top 40 R&B singles
3T- 1 top 40 pop single, 1 top 40 R&B single
Jackson 5ive/Jacksons- 23 top 40 pop singles, 32 top 40 R&B singles
