Janet Jackson Cuts Off Michael Jackson’s Freeloading Brothers - Report | Celeb Dirty Laundry Kendall Jenner Flaunts MAJOR Skin in Sultry Shot: Move Over, Kylie, This is Hot! - TF timothy3 She should be tired of herself but more than anything else she should be ashamed. After kidnapping her mother and trying to kidnap Michael Jackson’s children with the only aim to grub their legacy, she has the nerve to speak out. Maybe she now feels strong since got married a billionaire, so should take advantage from it before he gets tired of her as it is not her money – again. However this does not make her less money-grubber of her siblings which she already widely showed to be. David Adler What are you talking about? I love MJ but Janet legitimately made her money, is highly regarded by her peers, and by the mid nineties was a bigger star in the US than Michael. She’s under no obligation to support the family. Nor does she want any stake in MJ estate. And the kidnapping thing is tabloid B/S. please don’t embarrass the MJ fan base by reading tabloids And being uninformed about Janet’s legacy.

timothy3 She NEVER was bigger than Michael Jackson even if you and her would have liked it, and the whole world knows. I am talking about what she did last summer which is widely documented with the surveillance video, also she signed the letter against the Estate. You are embarrassing the fan base but it’s a your problem. I did my research and I don’t read tabloids. You might be a her fan, but again your business. Ron D. McHoney Janet was actually more successful than Mike in the 90s. The only person more successful than janet was Mariah in the 90s. You are also getting your facts from tmz David Adler I suggest you take a look at the Billboard charts. Michaels last number 1 was in 1995. Janet had 3 number ones from 97-01. Again, I’m talking about in the US. Study up Tabinformed Without Michael, Janet would have had no career. Does she have some talent? Yes, but not nearly enough and is a pale imitation of her brother. The Jackson brothers made plenty of money but squandered it and have expected Michael to pick up the tab for his whole life.

Now they want what is rightfully the children’s any way they can get it. Rebbie and LaToya are not innocent in all of this either. ab6 You are absolutely wrong she had nothing to do with the kidnapping it was her other brothers and sisters JANET HAS OWN DAMN money get your facts right timothy3 As I said it is WIDELY documented by the surveillance video and by her SIGNATURE on the letter against the Estate, money or not money. So you are WRONG and need to get your fact straight. Ron D. McHoney Tmz are the same people that stated lil Wayne was being read his last rights and dying a while back. The only video clip they have is of janet trying to get paris phone timothy3 As I said it is WIDELY documented by the surveillance video and by her SIGNATURE on the letter against the Estate, money or not money. So you are WRONG and need to get your fact straight. timothy3 As I said it is WIDELY documented by the surveillance video and by her SIGNATURE on the letter against the Estate, money or not money. So you are WRONG and need to get your fact straight. ultravioletrae yeah. right.

“kidnapping” your own mom. ok. timothy3 EVERYTHING confirmed by the JUDGE Reza eda I think what we need is to pray for Michaels kids…end of discussion this are our royal family… she is 15 and struggling… honestly where is ms ross Victoria McGuire Janet did emerge with her brother Michael’s help to be a star in her own right. She also, with his guidance, learned how to manage her career and finances to become so very rich. She’s right to cut them off. She should help to protect his children’s finances and rights, from the rest of them, except from Tito, who is working hard to protect them. their mother is old and easily influenced, all her rights, financiall should be removed. saraemna3 Didn’t the brothers become millionaires themselves when they were the Jackson Five. Of course, high living for years and no work, I guess you would eventually run out of money.Now, Janet has married a billionaire and they will be at her constantly for money. Glad I don’t have any for family to fight over.

allie Janet Jackson Opens Up About Her Brother Michael's Death | American Superstar Magazine Janet Jackson Opens Up About Her Brother Michael's Death Janet Jackson Opens Up About Her Brother Michael's Death By Amber Sterling on September 9, 2009 LOS ANGELES — Janet Jackson is opening up for the first time since her brother Michael died on June 25, admitting that his sudden death has led to her avoiding the daily news. "It will drive you crazy," she tells Harper's Bazaar of the media frenzy surrounding the King of Pop. "People can have rhinoceros skin, but there's a point when something's going to hurt you. Not everyone is stone, stone. I haven't watched the news in weeks. I had to ask my chef, How's Obama doing? I haven't read a newspaper. On top of that, [we've lost] a family member." Jackson was in Atlanta shooting Tyler Perry's "Why Did I Get Married Too" when she received the fateful call about her brother. She immediately returned to Los Angeles to mourn with her family and continues to struggle with the reality that her brother is now gone. "My brother is, I mean was..." says Jackson, struggling to discuss her brother's sense of style.

"You have to forgive me, because it's really hard to believe he's passed." "Mike was very simple," she continues. "When I was 14 years old, I would shop for him. I washed his clothes, cleaned his room. When Mother would go out of town, she'd say, 'I'm leaving you in charge. Take care of Mike.' I would head home from school, see what he needed, then go straight to the stores." While her older sibling was already on top of the world at the time, Jackson laughs when she recalls how her brother beat up his soles back then. "He loved to wear his shoes all the way down," she says. "His penny loafers would have huge holes in the bottom." Jackson last saw her brother at a family gathering in May, which took place two days before her 43rd birthday. "We had so much fun that day," she says. "We kept calling each other after and saying how great it was." Jackson says that day summed up her brother's love for being silly and holding onto his child side. "He loved to laugh," she says. "The last time we were together, he'd laugh so hard, he would just start crying.

Sometimes his humor would be corny, sometimes dry. He loved the Three Stooges, he loved slapstick, he loved Eddie Murphy in his silly comedies. He loved to have fun. He loved to play." A music icon herself, Jackson says she is holding up "okay," mainly by focusing on her career. In addition to her film work, she's busy recording material for her next studio album, due out next spring. Jackson says dealing with her brother's death has confirmed the strength she always wondered about having. "I always wanted to have my mother's [Katherine Jackson] strength, but I didn't know if it was really there," she says. "But a few years back, something happened and I learned that I did." "I'm not going to mention it, but we all know what it is," she continues. "And now, coming off all this, it's even beyond that. I was just focused on my job at that moment within my family." "Now at least I know that I can step up to the plate and not crumble when I'm needed," Jackson adds.

"When it comes to something like this that is so, so serious, so painful, so traumatic, I can handle it." Image: Janet Jackson Janet Jackson Singer/Actor Born in Gary, Indiana, the youngest of ten children, Janet Damita Jo Jackson was raised a strict Jehovah's Witness. She was not quite three years old when her brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael—managed by their father Joseph Jackson—signed a recording contract with Motown Records and began releasing a string of #1 singles as the Jackson 5. By the time she was 10 Janet's family had moved to California and she was appearing on the Jacksons' TV variety show. Through the 1980s she was Penny on the hit sitcom Good Times and also appeared on the TV version of Fame. She came into her own as a recording artist (and as a young woman) with her third solo release, the 1986 album Control, produced with pop-funk masterminds Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis .

Following up with 1989's groundbreaking Rhythm Nation, and the sexy 1993 album janet, Miss Jackson solidified her status as a pop icon and superstar of the highest rank. She has won 5 Grammy Awards, sold more than 100 albums worldwide, and starred in films from the 1993 hip-hop romance Poetic Justice, opposite the late Tupac Shakur , to Tyler Perry's 2010 adaptation of For Colored Girls . In the wake of her superstar brother Michael's untimely death in 2009, Janet's strength and poise has helped her famous family endure tragedy. In 2013 she announced she was married to billionaire Qatari businessman Wissam Al Mana.

Hide Caption Janet Jackson returns to channel late brother Michael Jackson, AsiaOne Showbiz News Janet Jackson returns to channel late brother Michael Jackson AFP | Sunday, Oct 4, 2015 Photo: The New Paper file AFP Sunday, Oct 4, 2015 NEW YORK - It can't be easy to be the kid sister of the King of Pop, but Janet Jackson pulled it off in the 1980s as she became a music legend in her own right. On her first studio album since Michael Jackson died in 2009, Janet channels him more than ever before, with her voice at times eerily reminiscent of her brother's. "Unbreakable" - her 11th studio album, which came out worldwide on Friday (Oct 2) - opens with a funky R&B title track that could easily be mistaken for posthumous Michael Jackson, with Janet singing in the short gasping-for-breath "hiccups" so identified with her brother and in a range that brings to mind his falsetto.

The opening track gradually quiets down to give the atmosphere of a cafe - a conversational theme Janet pursued on social media to promote the album - as she says: "Hello, it's been awhile. Lots to talk about. I'm glad you're still here." MOURNING MICHAEL Indeed, Janet Jackson has plenty to talk about since her last album in 2008. Her brother's sudden death led her to withdraw from the spotlight to grieve but she re-emerged in 2011 with an 80-date tour to promote a greatest hits collection. In 2012, she quietly married Qatari tycoon Wissam Al Mana and again shunned the limelight until earlier this year when she announced "Unbreakable," for which she has started a 92-date arena tour of North America and Japan.

On "Broken Hearts Heal," a mellow, steady-beat R&B track on the album that steers clear of maudlin excess, Jackson eulogizes her brother as she remembers a childhood spent "around the brightest stars the world had seen" as they "danced and sang our way through most anything / always felt safe in each other's love." "Our love ain't no material anything / Inshallah, see you in the next life," she sings, using the Arabic phrase for "God willing." "After You Fall" harks back to Michael Jackson's most memorable ballads as the expressiveness of Janet's voice carries a tune over minimalist piano. Janet remained close to her late brother, despite the notorious dysfunction elsewhere in his life and their troubled relationship with their domineering father. But "Unbreakable" is more than a tribute to her late brother, as the 49-year-old Jackson goes retro with the sound that first defined her rather than dabbling in the latest trends.

"Burnitup!" is driven by a thumping bass, with rapper Missy Elliot pitching in to declare that, still, "Miss Jackson, she wear the crown." Jackson again worked with the songwriting team of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who produced her blockbuster 1986 album "Control" which was a landmark in merging R&B and pop with the then emerging genre of hip-hop. Jackson managed both to showcase sex appeal and pursue a socially conscious message, an inspiration for many younger stars, most notably Beyonce. Yet the Janet Jackson of 2015 is more jaded than the singer who, in her famous 1989 song, rallied the masses of fans to be "part of the Rhythm Nation" and "join voices in protest of social injustice." On "Shoulda Known Better," Jackson sounds exasperated at the prevalence of poverty and the inaction of critics who "only want to talk." "I don't want my face to be that poster child for being naive," she sings. "I had this great epiphany / And Rhythm Nation was the dream / I guess next time I'll know better." Yet Jackson also has light moments on "Unbreakable," which runs over an hour.

She closes with a fun-charging, 1970s-style funk tune, "Gon B Alright," and finally a snippet of her chatting in the studio. Offering an ironic end to an often stern album, Jackson voices mock alarm at being caught unaware on the studio mic. "Should have known better after all these years," she concludes. 197749 La Toya Jackson Videos at ABC News Video Archive at abcnews.com Lil Jon Confirms Donald Trump Called Him 'Uncle Tom' During 'Celebrity Apprentice' Sat, 15 Oct 2016 Lil Jon has responded after a recent report claimed that Donald Trump repeatedly called the Grammy Award-winning rapper and producer "Uncle Tom" while filming "The Celebrity Apprentice."

From the Jackson 5, to Michael and Jermaine's solo careers, to Janet becoming one of the leading female artists of her generation, the Jacksons seemed born with music in their bones. Rebbie (May 29, 1950) The oldest of the nine Jackson siblings, Rebbie didn't get a shot at stardom with her brothers. It wasn't until 1976 that she began a professional singing career, albeit one in the background: She was a backup vocalist on albums by the Emotions and other R&B acts. In 1984, fresh off the record-breaking success of Thriller, Michael produced Rebbie's hit single "Centipede," which rose to #4 on the R&B chart. Since then, she's come out with several albums, the last — 1998's Yours Faithfully — on Michael's MJJ record label. Jackie (May 4, 1951) Along with Michael, he was lead singer of the Jackson 5. After recording 13 albums for Motown, the group signed with CBS Records in 1976 and became the Jacksons.

Their first few efforts faltered, but the 1978 album Destiny re-established their reputation and produced a top-10 single in 1979, "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)." As a solo artist, Jackie released a self-titled debut in 1973 and Be the One in 1989. Michael Jackson: A Life In Photos Tito (October 15, 1953) After the success of Destiny, Tito and the Jacksons released the platinum-selling Triumph in 1980 and the multiplatinum-selling Victory in 1984. After Michael and then Marlon left the band, Tito became a successful studio musician. In 1989, the Jacksons returned for a largely Michael-free album called 2300 Jackson Street, the final Jacksons album.

Jermaine (December 11, 1954) In 1972, while continuing to perform with his brothers, Jermaine released his first solo record, which produced the top-10 single "Daddy's Home." When the Jacksons left Motown, Jermaine left the band, as he was married to Motown founder Berry Gordy's daughter. Subsequently, he carried on releasing solo material, including hit singles like the Stevie Wonder-produced "Tell Me I'm Not Dreaming" and the dance track "Dynamite." LaToya (May 29, 1956) LaToya got her start singing backup vocals for the Jackson 5 and went solo with a 1980 self-titled album. She continued to churn out solo music but is perhaps best known for posing nude for Playboy in 1989 and writing a tell-all autobiography that led to estrangement from some siblings. Marlon (March 12, 1957) The guitarist for the family group, Marlon left in 1987 to pursue a solo career.

His first single "Don't Go" — from debut album Baby Tonight — climbed as high as #2 on the Hot R&B chart. But Marlon's subsequent efforts proved considerably less successful. He appeared on only one track on 2300. Michael (August 29, 1958) He's the King of Pop for a reason: More than 750 million records sold worldwide, eight platinum or multiplatinum albums, 13 #1 singles and 13 Grammy Awards. [article id="1614815"]Read more about his legendary career.[/article] Randy Jackson (October 29, 1961) Randy joined the group after Jermaine left in 1976, though he'd been performing with his brothers as a percussionist for some time. He performed on hit Jacksons albums like Triumph and Victory. Following the band's dissolution, Randy became a successful studio musician and also formed his own band, Randy & the Gypsys, which put out an album in 1989. He reunited with his brothers for 2300.

Janet Jackson (May 16, 1966) The youngest Jackson appeared with her siblings onstage and on television but embarked on a solo career starting with a 1982 self-titled record. 1986's Control proved to be her breakout album, eventually going platinum five times and spawning hit singles like "When I Think of You." Her next two discs, 1989's Janet Jackson' s Rhythm Nation 1814 and 1993's Janet, became even more successful, each going platinum six times. MTV will be paying tribute to MJ throughout the weekend with music videos, exclusive performances and calls and tweets from celebrity admirers and friends.

Hide Caption Janet Jackson's Lawyer Responds to Vanity Fair Claims She Delayed Brother's Funeral | Hollywood Reporter Janet Jackson's Lawyer Responds to Vanity Fair Claims She Delayed Brother's Funeral 5:28 PM PDT 10/9/2012 by Seth Abramovitch COMMENTS Chris Jackson/Getty Images UPDATED: A book excerpt that suggests she held up the burial until she received her $40,000 deposit back is called "false and defamatory." A lawyer for Janet Jackson has responded to a new story in the November issue of Vanity Fair claiming the singer refused to let her superstar brother Michael Jackson's funeral take place until her $40,000 deposit to secure a plot for him at Forest Lawn Memorial Park was repaid. [UPDATE: Vanity Fair has issued their response. See below.] The story was an excerpt from Randall Sullivan's upcoming book, Untouchable: The Strange Life and Tragic Death of Michael Jackson. Read the letter here . In a letter dated Oct. 5 and addressed to Vanity Fair editor-in-chief Graydon Carter, Jackson attorney Blair G.

Brown calls the article "false and defamatory." Brown says Jackson "never delayed the funeral in any way," and in fact "paid for the funeral and was reimbursed for some of those expenses by Michael Jackson's estate in the year after the sevices took place." "I demand that Vanity Fair retract its statement," Brown writes. "I also demand that Vanity Fair contact all other media and websites that have re-published Vanity Fair's false statement and inform them of its retraction and its corrective statement." Among the outlets cited by Brown as having repeated the claims are The Huffington Post, the New York Daily News and the Daily Mail website. The letter was posted in full to Janet Jackson's official website . The singer has been under the unflattering glare of the media spotlight lately, amid ongoing family infighting over the fate of her brother's will and guardianship of his three surviving children. Vanity Fair responds: "Vanity Fair stands by Randall Sullivan’s assertion that Janet Jackson’s demand to be reimbursed for her deposit on her brother’s burial plot was one of the reasons Michael Jackson’s funeral was delayed.

Sullivan's sources told him that the amount of the deposit was $40,000, but records released last week indicate that the amount of the deposit was $49,000. Vanity Fair will make that correction on VF.com." Michael Jackson’s Burial Was Delayed Because Janet Wanted Her Burial-Plot Deposit Back | Vanity Fair Michael Jackson’s Burial Was Delayed Because Janet Wanted Her Burial-Plot Deposit Back Michael Jackson’s Burial Was Delayed Because Janet Wanted Her Burial-Plot Deposit Back by Twitter Michael Jackson’s burial was delayed due to wrangling between Janet Jackson and her brother’s estate, a detail revealed in a November Vanity Fair–exclusive excerpt of Untouchable, Randall Sullivan’s Michael Jackson biography, which will be published next month.__ __According to Sullivan, Janet put up the $49,000* deposit at Forest Lawn to secure a spot for Michael but refused to let the funeral take place until the money was repaid.

Ronald Williams, of Talon Executive Services—a private-security company that dispatched a team to Michael Jackson’s rented château in Holmby Hills on the night of his death—tells Sullivan that hours after Jackson died, La Toya and her boyfriend, Jeffre Phillips, arrived at the house demanding to be admitted. “We’re family and we should have access to the house,” they reportedly said.____ Sullivan reports that mother Katherine Jackson also arrived that night and entered the house, where she telephoned Grace Rwaramba, the recently terminated longtime nanny to Michael’s children. According to Rwaramba, Katherine said, “Grace, the children are crying. They are asking about you. They can’t believe that their father died. Grace, you remember Michael used to hide cash at the house? I’m here. Where can it be?” Rwaramba described Michael’s standard practice of hiding his cash in black plastic garbage bags and under the carpets. Talon describes seeing La Toya and her boyfriend loading black plastic garbage bags into duffel bags and placing them in the garage.

(La Toya would insist that nearly all of Michael’s money was gone by the time she arrived at the Holmby Hills house.) The next morning, Janet Jackson arrived with a moving van and demanded to be admitted. A few hours later, the truck exited through the front gate with Jeffre Phillips at the wheel. Katherine Jackson and her daughters made it clear that they wouldn’t be leaving anytime soon. “They camped out for most of a week,” Williams tells Sullivan, leaving and returning “whenever they felt like it.” Katherine Jackson’s representatives shared details of her recent “abduction” with Sullivan, who describes what happened from her perspective for the first time. One of Katherine Jackson’s representatives tells Sullivan that it was Janet Jackson who on July 14, 2012, arranged for Dr. Allen Metzger to go to the Calabasas mansion, where her mother had been living with Michael’s three children. Metzger was introduced as an associate of Mrs. Jackson’s longtime Beverly Hills physician and told that her doctor wanted her to have a physical before she went to Albuquerque for her sons’ Unity Tour.

After a brief examination, Metzger told Katherine Jackson that her blood pressure was elevated and that it would be best for her not to make the trip to New Mexico by car as she had planned. Katherine left the next morning with her daughter Rebbie and her granddaughter Stacee Brown and Mrs. Jackson’s personal assistant. It wasn’t until they arrived at the airport that Katherine realized they weren’t headed to Albuquerque but rather to Tucson, where she was booked at the Miraval Resort & Spa. Janet Jackson was there when she arrived. The representative tells Sullivan that Dr. Metzger had no association with Mrs. Jackson’s physician and that she had not sent him to see Mrs. Jackson. Dr. Metzger was, in fact, the same doctor who had been called as a defense witness at the trial of Conrad Murray, the physician convicted of providing the drugs that killed Michael Jackson. He had also been reprimanded by the state medical board for writing prescriptions for Janet Jackson under false or fictitious names. Katherine’s grandson T. J.

Jackson, and others who were looking after Michael’s children at his Calabasas home, soon deduced that the five Jackson siblings—who that same week had sent a letter to Michael’s executors asking them to resign and claiming that their mother had suffered a mini-stroke—now reportedly with Katherine in their custody were, in the view of Mrs. Jackson’s representatives, attempting to gain a conservatorship over her, possibly by demonstrating her incompetence to serve as guardian of Michael’s children. They hoped to gain control of their brother’s fortune, which would follow Prince, Paris, and Blanket wherever they went. Sullivan explores the question of how John Branca, a lawyer who was fired by Michael Jackson in 2003—and is now earning tens of millions of dollars as an executor of the Michael Jackson estate—managed to retain possession of a will he should have handed over with all of Jackson’s papers to a new attorney, David LeGrand, who turned the documents over to another attorney, Brian Oxman, when he was dismissed. “I had access to every file and I had to go through them,” Oxman recalls. “And I did. There was no will. There was no trust.

It just showed up after he died.” (Branca, through his attorney, declined to comment.) John Branca, has said that the will he presented to the Jacksons in July 2009 was greeted by the family with applause, but Katherine Jackson remembers the meeting differently. “According to her, the atmosphere went from quiet to glum,” Sullivan reports. “She personally was offended that John Branca never once said how sorry he was for her loss. The man was cold, Mrs. Jackson thought, just as Michael had described him: ‘My son had told me and the kids that he never wanted Branca to be any part of his business ever again.’” A previous version of this blog post reported that the amount of Janet Jackson's deposit was $40,000. Records released last week indicate that the actual amount was $49,000. Share
