Jacksons Showcase Their Reality
Friday, November 6th, 2009
The hardest-working has-beens in show business are back with—what else?—a reality series. The Hollywood Reporter has announced that the A&E miniseries “The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty” will debut Dec. 13.
The six-part series features brothers Jackie, Jermaine, Tito and Marlon preparing for a concert tour, minus anyone named Jackson that people would actually pay to see. The official press release says the show “chronicles their lives as they cope with Michael’s drug-induced death in June,” which really means “they look for new ways to grab more of Michael’s money.”
A&E had originally planned this as a documentary special called “The Jacksons,” back when they had hopes of roping the still-living Michael into it. Now they’re making chicken salad out of chicken you-know-what, since most of the surviving Jacksons are behind in their child support. Jermaine is behind about 20 years.

Tito Says Jackson Family Tried Intervention
Wednesday, July 15th, 2009
Tito Jackson has become the latest family member to speak out since the death of his brother Michael last month, and he claims that several of them had confronted the superstar about his drug use.
In an interview with the UK Mirror, the 55-year-old Jackson brother recalled how the family banded together to launch a raid on Neverland. “We had to act. It was me, my sisters Janet, Rebbie and La Toya and my brothers, Jackie and Randy. We bust right into the house and he was surprised to see us to say the least. We went into one of his private rooms and had a discussion with him. Some of us were crying.
“We kept asking him if it was true what we had heard that he was using drugs. He kept denying it. He said we were over-reacting. We also spoke to a doctor and he assured us it was not the situation. He said he was there to make sure Michael was healthy.”
The Jackson family members were skeptical. “We didn’t know what to believe. We didn’t take what Michael said as the truth. We talked about it again and again for hours but we just couldn’t get through to him. After that occasion we tried many times but his team of people just shut us out, they would not let us close. They literally shut us out.”
While he does not totally agree with sister LaToya that their brother was murdered, Tito wants to find out what happened. “Whether his death was an accident or whether it was deliberate, something has gone on and we need to get to the bottom of it.”
