JANET JACKSON JOINING THE JACKSON 5: THAT’LL BE THE DAY

The most unlikely rumor of the week has to be the story that Janet Jackson is subbing for Michael Jackson and joining her brothers Jermaine, Marlon, Tito, and Jackie, on tour as the Jackson 5. Apparently Jermaine insists that Janet has committed to the tour which will use some of the sets from Michael’s defunct “This Is It” show. Granted, Janet’s last tour on her own was not a success, but this could be a huge step down. Keep in mind also, that Jermaine HAS been known to jump the gun in the past. If it were to happen, we can already picture Jermaine (who declared himself “the next Michael Jackson”) and Janet clashing over everything – starting with billing. And how would they EVER split up the money?

MICHAEL JACKSON’S BROTHERS GOT THEIR WISH: A REALITY SHOW

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.
