Sep 16 2009Joe Jackson wants Kanye 'blackballed'
Somehow I missed this little item of hilarity: Joe Jackson apparently issued a statement to TMZ encouraging the entertainment industry to blackball Kanye West for interrupting Taylor Swift's VMA acceptance speech:
"I don't know what he was doing, he jumped up on stage and snatched that microphone out of that poor girl's hand. They should blackball him out of show business for that. He just leapt up there, that was bad.
I had just gotten through speaking to him, he was introducing me to his girlfriend, and then three minutes later he jumped up on stage. And people booed Kanye all night."
Okay, granted what Kanye did was stupidly obnoxious and the byproduct of an unchecked ego drowned in cognac, but not exactly a reason to completely shun him from the music industry. Especially at the request of Joe Jackson who I have five words for: "Jesus Juice" and "Little boy's penises." I've said my piece.
Aug 3 2009Joe Jackson gets the boot in custody deal
Joe Jackson will be reportedly forced out of his home per the custody arrangement agreed to by his wife Katherine and Debbie Rowe the biological mother of Michael Jr. and Paris, according to Showbiz 411:
When the custody deal for Michael Jackson's kids is filed tomorrow in Los Angeles Family Court, it will spell the end of Joseph Jackson living at the family's home.
Part of the deal made by Debbie Rowe, the mother of the two eldest children, is that Joseph is gone for good from the Hayvenhurst Avenue, Encino, compound that he bought in the 1970s.
Rowe--as noted before--will allow Katherine Jackson to be the official guardian of the children for the time being. It was Rowe who suggested that a psychologist be involved in her meetings with the kids, Prince--whom she calls Michael--and Paris, while she gets to know them.
As for Joe Jackson, Rowe's lawyers made his absence from the children a non-negotiable part of the custody arrangement. There will be no more talk of Joe the manager trotting out his grandkids as "the Jackson Three" or anything else like that.
I'm in full support of this move. Mostly because "The Jackson Three" is a terrible name. I know Joe's old, but couldn't he come up with something more original? Something catchy like "The MJ Vanilla Babies"; "Jesus Juice & Kids"; "Unmolested Funk." And I'm not even trying. You worked with Berry Gordy, man. C'mon.
Jul 30 2009Joe Jackson confirms Omer Bhatti is Michael's son
It was always rumored that Michael Jackson had a "secret son," Omer Bhatti (above), who was mysteriously sitting with the Jackson family at Michael's funeral. Well, the speculation can end because Joe Jackson confirmed in an interview with NewsOne that Omer is Michael's son. Which is insanely fucked up because that means Michael Jackson had sex with a woman. How was that even possible? Can moonwalking on a bed while holding a teddy bear get somebody pregnant? Because, honestly, that's all I got.

Jul 21 2009Joe Jackson denies beating Michael Jackson
In an interview with Larry King last night, Joe Jackson denied ever beating Michael Jackson as a child. To back up his claims, Joe inexplicably goes on to say that "beating started with slavery," and any parent who says they never spanked their kid is "a liar." Except for apparently Joe Jackson who immediately followed that statement with "But I never beat Michael."
To dig his hole even deeper, Joe also believes Michael was raised properly because he didn't "run the streets like other kids in his neighborhood." But, you know, he's right. Michael simply went on to surgically alter his face into Peter Pan and invite young boys over to his house for wine and porn. If that was anymore wholesome, puppies would jump out of a birthday cake and help the elderly cross the street. True story.
Jul 2 2009Debbie Rowe wants the kids and restraining order against Joe Jackson
Debbie Rowe has thrown down the gauntlet and plans to seek custody of Michael Jr. and Paris who she maintains are her biological children. NBC Los Angeles reports:
"I want my children," Rowe said during a 90-minute phone conversation Thursday morning with NBCLA's Chuck Henry.
She said she would seek a restraining order to keep Jackson's father, Joe Jackson, away from the children. The agreement does allow for visitation, but Rowe said it's a very difficult process. She said if she misses a visitation date, it is difficult to reschedule with the Jacksons.
"I am stepping up," Rowe said. "I have to."
Rowe said she was still grieving. She said she decided she had to seek custody after Jackson's death.
"We had an agreement... he didn't keep his end," Rowe said, referring to Jackson's death.
Rowe said she was concerned about splitting up the children. She said she did not expect the court to grant custody of the third child, but added that she would be willing to accept custody.
Okay, I understand Debbie wants to be with her children, but she's overreacting a little bit over Joe Jackson. I mean, once you look past the facial mutilation and pedophilia, Michael Jackson grew up to be one of the most influential musicians of a generation. Who died at 50 from a fatal addiction to medication specifically reserved for knocking out people for surgery. But, again, besides that stuff...
Jun 30 2009Michael Jackson's will surfaces, complete F.U. to his father
A will signed by Michael Jackson in 2002 has surfaced and essentially leaves everything to his mother and three kids. Completely left out is his father Joe Jackson (above) who repeatedly beat Michael as a child. E! News reports:
According to the Wall Street Journal, the document--which will no doubt be the centerpiece of a lengthy and ferocious legal battle in months to come--divides the superstar's estate among his mother, his three children (Prince Michael, Paris and Prince Michael II) and at least one charity.
It's unclear what custody arrangements, if any, Jackson made for his three children. But a court ruling yesterday gave temporary guardianship to Katherine.
At least one aspect of the will does appear to be clear: Joe Jackson wasn't named as an heir.
Just to put things in perspective. Here's a little snippet of Michael's childhood from Wikipedia:
One night while Michael was asleep, Joseph climbed into his room through the bedroom window. Wearing a fright mask, he entered the room screaming and shouting. Joseph said he wanted to teach his children not to leave the window open when they went to sleep. For years afterward, Michael suffered nightmares about being kidnapped from his bedroom.
I'm pretty sure if my old man did that to me, I'd probably carve my face to look like Peter Pan and cut him out of my will, too. Or just mess with the thermostat when he's not looking. Who's the nobody now, pop?
