Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Legal Issues,
Jermaine Jackson owes more than $30,000 in child support.
The late King of Pop's brother - who is uncle to the "Thriller" hitmaker's three children, Prince, 16, Paris, 15, and 11-year-old Blanket - has allegedly refused to pay the money he owes to Alejandra Jackson to help her raise their two teenage sons, Jermajesty and Jaafar, after falling behind on his payments over the past year.
According to gossip website TMZ.com, Los Angeles' Child Support Services Department (CSSD) has filed legal documents asking a judge to hold Jermaine in contempt for failing to meet his child support obligation from April 2012 through April 2013. Jermaine - who was ordered to pay $3,000 a month for the two children, totalling $36,000 per year - sporadically paid a total of $5,621 over the past 12 months but failed to make any monthly payment in full.
He allegedly still owes Alejandra $30,378.

Conrad Murray: Ordered to Stand Trial for Michael Jackson Manslaughter
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Child Stars, Legal Issues,
His legal defense seemed a little shaky from the word go.
Dr. Conrad Murray, the physician who cared for pop star Michael Jackson during the singer’s final days, has been ordered to stand trial for involuntary manslaughter. Murray claimed that Jackson injected himself with a lethal dose of Propofol, but the judge has ruled that Murray's case will continue.
Meanwhile, Murray has been stripped of his medical license. Members of the Jackson family (Katherine, Janet, La Toya, Jackie, Jermaine and Marlon) were present during last week’s hearing, which ended in the current ruling. “I’m happy so far,” said La Toya of the events.
Testimony in the hearing took six days, where more than 20 witnesses were heard for the prosecution. No witnesses were called for the defense during the hearing.

The Jacksons will reunite at the Michael Jackson tribute concert… and possibly perform?
Jermaine Jackson, who shot to fame in The Jackson 5 alongside his brothers Jackie, Tito, Marlon and Michael, has refused to rule out joining his musical family on stage at the show he is planning in Vienna, Austria, on September 26.
When asked if he plans to perform with his siblings, Jermaine said, “That could be one of the surprises. Being a producer I wanted to put a show together because it is a family thing. My family is very busy, Janet is doing something right now. I have invited all of them, so, you never know—once the music hits them they will probably want to come up and perform and do what they know how to do. But definitely I have committed myself to performing.”
Jermaine revealed he has invited his mother Katherine Jackson to the event, along with Michael’s three children—Prince Michael I, 12, Paris, 11, and seven-year-old Prince Michael II, also known as “Blanket.”
“I spoke to my mother and I said I wanted to do something for the fans in Europe. She has supported this from the very start.”
Joe Jackson Confirms Presence of Michael’s Secret Son
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Celebrity Babies, Child Stars, Breaking News, Rumors,
While speaking to NewsOne, Joe Jackson dropped a bombshell: Omer Bhatti is Michael Jackson’s child! It has been suspected and speculated since the early 1990s that Bhatti might be the natural-born child of Jackson, and now Joe has confirmed the gossip.
However highly unlikely it may seem that Bhatti could be Jackson’s child.
Anyway, Joe Jackson blithely responded, “Yes, I knew he had another son,” during his interview. “He looks like a Jackson, he acts like a Jackson, he can dance like a Jackson,” Joe continued, extolling Bhatti’s virtues.

VIDEO: Jermaine Jackson Formally Announces Michael’s Death
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Videos,
At a brief news conference this evening, Jermaine Jackson addressed the media on behalf of his entire family.
“My brother, the legendary king of pop, Michael Jackson, passed away on Thursday, June 25, at 2:26 p.m. It is believed he suffered cardiac arrest in his home. However, the cause of his death is unknown until the results of the autopsy are known.
His personal physician who was with him at the time attempted to resuscitate my brother - as did the paramedics who transported him Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. Upon arriving at the hospital at approximately 1:14 p.m., a team of doctors, including emergency physicians and cardiologists, attempted to resuscitate him for a period of more than one hour. They were unsuccessful.
Our family requests that the media please respect our privacy during this tough time. May Allah be with you Michael, always. Love you.”
Although it’s been speculated that prescription medication may have played a role in Michael’s death, more won’t be known until the initial autopsy scheduled for Friday.

Michael Jackson is deathly ill, says InTouch Magazine
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Breaking News, Rumors,
While Michael Jackson is typically the punchlines of all sorts of jokes, he is now in a very serious condition, if InTouch sources are to be believed. The magazine is reporting that Michael Jackson is suffering from the rare genetic disease Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.
award-winning investigative journalist Ian Halperin tells In Touch that he believes that the King of Pop is fighting for is life. “Michael has a very severe lung condition called Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency,” Halperin, a New York Times best-selling author, tells In Touch exclusively. “He’s had it for years but it’s gotten worse. He needs a lung transplant but may be too weak to go through with it. He also has emphysema and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, which his doctors have had a lot of trouble stopping. It’s the bleeding that is the most problematic part. It could kill him.
Needing a transplant, but being too weak to get one done, is never a good combination. Couple that with chronic bleeding, and there is cause for much concern. And, of course, there is more on the actual disease itself.
