Joe Jackson Is A Tool

For years and years I didn't have to think about Joe Jackson or ever hear him speak. The only time he ever entered into my consciousness would be when I was flipping through the television and would stumble on one of those really bad made for tv movies about The Jackson's. Other than that my life had no Joe Jackson in it.

Now it seems he is absolutely everywhere and is making as many dollars as he can until he has the chance to go through Katherine's purse. And by purse I mean she is going to get 40% of Michael's estate and I know for sure Joe is going to be helping himself to some of that. And what should happen if say Katherine were to die first and leave that 40% to Joe?

The NY Daily News reported today that Michael Jackson is going to be buried on August 29th at 10am. They learned this from Joe who wants privacy for the funeral. Uh huh. Then why in the hell did you tell everyone when and where? He told this to the News while holding court at the Palms hotel with a woman he just signed to his record label. Joe has a record label? He also plugged the Palms hotel and said he was going to be back at The Palms right after the funeral. Autographs will be just $25 and he will be selling bags of dirt from around Michael's grave for another $100 a bag. I totally made up those last two things, but would you really put it past the guy? Plus, I am not convinced they are actually going to put Michael in the ground. Why is Joe spending so much time in Vegas?

Michael Jackson Is Not Buried Yet

It has been a few days since my last Michael Jackson story and while I would like to discuss whether or not the mother of Blanket is a Mexican nurse named Helena there isn't really much to discuss. You either believe her story or you don't and you move on. However, there is actually something we can discuss and that is the fact that Joe Jackson has said Michael isn't buried yet. Earlier this week there were reports that Michael was buried and Joe says that just isn't true. I could have told you it wasn't true. Do you really think it would be just some quiet thing where people were told after the fact? Joe couldn't sell t-shirts if no one knew it was going on. In an interview with E!, Joe also said that he supports the idea of moving Neverland to Las Vegas so all Michael's fans can visit him there.

Can I tell you what I think is going to happen? I have discussed with others and they think I am crazy but I think they will move Neverland or have some kind of exhibit in Las Vegas featuring Michael. That Sony movie that is going to be released soon will be available to watch there in a special theatre and they will sell DVD's of it. I think there will be a type of Graceland experience without maybe actually moving all of Neverland. Now, what is missing at Graceland? The tomb of Elvis is at Graceland and his mom and dad, but you don't get to see a body. How much extra would you pay to see Elvis's body? They charge you one price to get into Graceland and then you can add a whole bunch of extras. How much extra do you think Michael Jackson fans would pay to see his embalmed body? Yep. I think that is why they haven't buried it yet. There is not going to be another autopsy. There is no reason not to bury it, but they haven't. The reason? I think they are deciding how to make money off the body.

Oh, and don't think that just putting it in Berry Gordy's crypt is burying it because it isn't. I will give up on this idea when someone tells me he is buried in the ground. Other than that I think the Jackson family is perfectly content selling tickets to see Michael's body. For an extra $100 you can have your picture taken next to it and a souvenir key chain that plays ABC. A beating by Joe Jackson is optional.

Joe Jackson Says He Didn't Beat Michael - Blames It On Katherine

When Joe Jackson opens his mouth I really expect to either see his nose get larger or for horns to sprout from his head and the devil to start talking. Over the weekend he gave an interview to Chris Connelly who has never been afraid to ask tough questions. He asked Joe Jackson point blank whether Joe had ever beat Michael.

"Michael was never beat. And everyone spanked their kids when they did wrong. But not beat."

First of all not everyone spanked their kids. I will admit it was much more prevalent than it is today, but still, not everyone spanked their kids. Plus, I think it is fair to say that no one in the Jackson family is ever going to come out and confirm what Joe said. Everyone knows he beat his kids. Over the years there have been books and articles and movies made that all talk about or show him beating his kids. He never sued. If someone accused you of beating your kids and you didn't, don't you think you might get upset and want the record set straight? Joe never did.

Joe takes this whole theory one step further though. He blames Katherine. "Katherine spanked Michael more than I did, 'cause I was working two jobs and she was at home with him the most."

She might have spanked him more, but I'm guessing she wasn't much of a beater. Talk about throwing someone under a bus. Is there a special place in hell for this guy? As messed up as Michael was in his life, I have to say that Joe Jackson is probably the root of about 99% of the messed up stuff.

Joe finished off Lie Fest '09 by saying, "We brought him up the right way." The right way? If by the right way you mean doing everything you could possibly do wrong than yes, you succeeded beyond your wildest dreams.

Joe Jackson Has Dollar Signs In His Eyes

For those of you who thought that Katherine Jackson would keep the kids safe and away from Joe Jackson, you may want to rethink those thoughts. I know there have been reports that Joe and Katherine are not together any longer, but that isn't the impression I got when I watched this interview he gave to ABC News.

I don't want this guy anywhere near Michael's kids and if the other brothers and sisters won't step in and do something about it, then the State of California needs to. I would hope that the brothers and sisters realize they had a very messed up life and much of it was because of Joe Jackson. Don't let him destroy three more lives.

In the interview with ABC he said, "I keep watching Paris. She wants to do something. And as far as I can see, well, they say Blanket, he can really dance." That's right. He wants them to be entertainers. Who better to guide their career than Joe who is probably seeing dollar signs flashing in front of his beady little eyes. As for raising the kids.

"There's no-one else to do what we can do for them. We should keep them all together and then make them happy, feed 'em like they're supposed to be fed, and let them get rest, plenty of sleep and grow up to be strong Jacksons."

And when he says we, he is referring to himself and to Katherine. That's right. He is right there with those kids right this second who are probably in their 4th hour of rehearsals this morning.
