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?
