Joe Jackson Wants Michael's Kids to Tour as 'Jackson 3'

[calloway]

Somebody put this bastard out of commission before he causes any more misery.

Michael Jackson's father, Joe Jackson, is lining up the King of Pop's children for a world tour as The Jackson Three — despite family members accusing him of trying to "exploit them like Jacko."

Former Jackson Five manager Joe is said to have approached Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11, and seven-year old Prince Michael II — known as Blanket — to hit the stage next year.

But one of Jacko's family members is said to be "livid" at the scheme, which will add fuel to the bitter custody battle for the youngsters.

Jackson’s biographer Ian Halperin said yesterday: "Joe wants the children to go on a world tour in 2010. He has also already offered recording contracts to two of Michael’s kids. Now he is talking about getting them the world’s best backing band and taking them on tour as The Jackson Three."

Halperin said yesterday his source for the allegations is extremely close to the family and may soon speak out publicly — out of concern for the future of the youngsters.

This is why the kids need to live with their mom(s)

The same one that basically sold them?

IMHO, custody should go to Bubbles and the children should live with him at the ape sanctuary. Bubbles is kinder, smarter and more decent than any of the humans involved with the Jackson family. He will teach them the basic heartfelt values of being a family - love, compassion and as many bananas as you can eat.

Sadly you have a point.

The only one I trust for sure is Janet. Joe will exploit those kids like he did with his own children. I don't know much about the mom... thought she was ok. LaToya is loony. Don't know about the other brothers.

I would probably call them "Blanket" instead of the "Jackson 3".

this guy should really die a slow painful lingering death.

It's never going to happen and Joe Jackson is an asshole.

Honestly I feel she is there when I think she feels she needs to be there.. ie... when Michael was being accused of sexual abuse of minors she spoke up for the children to have them then. Recently, she was willing to fight to get them back until Michaels Mom agreed to keep Joe away from the kids. She does seem to me to be a bit cookie too. But, I think she does have the best interest of the children at heart. Growing up on a ranch would not be a bad thing for children if Michaels Mom cannot keep the agreement to keep Joe away from the children.

The only Joe Jackson I want to hear about is this one:

The one from Gary, Indiana can eat shit and die.

Who says these kids can sing? Odds are great they share no DNA with that freak anyway......

I think you shouldn't belive EVERYTHING you read on the Internet.

I saw this story earlier today and dismissed it. There will be plenty of over the top innuendo on the Jacksons in the coming months. Just click on ignore.

I see your point.
However, it's hard to endorse it knowing that she took a large settlement to be there when, 'shefeels she needs to be there'. Granted we're just a couple of 'nobody's' chatting about something that we really know nothing about, I'm just a little curious as to why 'it appears' she hasn't been around them for most of their lives, and now she feels the need. In the end, I have no idea where they should be. The Jackson's are 'The Jackson's' and what do we really know about Ms. Rowe? Sure Janet sounds like a good alternative, but what's to say she's 'fit'? These kids have a lot of 'pushing and pulling' coming up in the near future.

Everything being equal, I would say the same if the roles (i.e. sex) were reversed.
