Looking very pleased with themselves, Jermaine and Tito Jackson hopped out of a stretch limo in front of Mr Chow with cameras following them as they filmed their reality TV show. Jermaine stepped carefully over a flip flop on the sidewalk. Whose was it? Thrown from a car? Or lost by a tourist in the excitement of seeing two Jacksons…

It looks like Jermaine Jackson HAS started to believe that HE is the next Michael Jackson! He picked up an award for his late brother at the MOBO awards in Glasgow and he’s pictured here KISSING the trophy. We’ve seen winners kiss their trophies before – but never someone ELSE’S award! It’s not like Jermaine EARNED the recognition. We wonder what he’ll do with it.
Now HERE are the Jacksons we rarely saw before Michael Jackson died, and the brothers look better than ever. Marlon, Jackie, and Tito had lunch in Calabasas and the whole thing was filmed for their reality show “The Jackson Dynasty.” These brothers have been trying for years to get a reality show and finally got their wish. The show will reveal the private lives of the remaining Jackson Five – Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon. (Jermaine was in Glasgow with LaToya when this segment was filmed.) Tito says “We’ve had cameras following us all our lives.” Somehow we can’t imagine the paparazzi stalking Tito – until now, perhaps.

LaToya Jackson continues to live it up in the aftermath of her brother Michael’s death. She and Jermaine just arrived in Glasgow to host a special Michael Jackson tribute on the MOBO Awards ( Music of Black Origin.) La Toya had a long career dry spell and now she’s back in action in a big way. (Note the Vuitton luggage that LaToya’s companion is schlepping.)
The Jackson family looked perfectly civil at Michael’s funeral but we hear that behind closed doors they’re furiously battling over money. Everybody wants to cash in and the brothers are at each other’s throats- with Jermaine’s ego turning into a huge problem. Shortly after Michael died, Steve Wynn offered the late Danny Gans’ empty Las Vegas showroom to the remaining Jackson brothers and wanted them to prepare a long running show. They could have taken in 80 million dollars just the first year if was a success. The brothers were psyched to do it but Jermaine decided HE should be paid WAY more than the others. Bickering ensued and Jermaine told shocked producers “ I am the next Michael Jackson and I will be paid accordingly!” Producers just laughed and gave up the whole idea. Timing IS important and last we heard the Jackson brothers were pitching their act to the small time lounges in Las Vegas.

Jermaine Jackson was never much of a Rodeo Drive shopper, but ALL OF A SUDDEN – he’s shopping with the best of them on the priciest street in Beverly Hills. Since Michael died, things are certainly looking up financially for his family. Suddenly Jermaine and his brothers are negotiating big money deals to perform and record tributes to Michael. He’d better pay attention because he already blew an opportunity for a European concert because the event was disorganized. Yes, it’s good to be on Rodeo Drive….
