Joe Jackson wants to take Michael Jackson’s three children on tour, calling them "The Jackson Three"

Joe Jackson wants to take kids on tour in 2010
Michael Jackson’s biographer says he plans to call them The Jackson Three

Joe Jackson is reportedly hoping to take Michael Jackson’s three children on tour in 2010, a biographer of the late “King of Pop” claimed on Monday.

Ian Halperin, a celebrity biographer claimed in The Sun Newspaper that a source close to the family told him Michael’s father already has plans for Prince Michael I, 12; Paris Michael Katherine, 11; and Prince Michael II (Blanket), 7.

“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,” Halperin said.

“Now he is talking about getting them the world’s best backing band and taking them on tour as The Jackson Three,” he added.

2. No. Fucking. Way.
Joe Jackson will never learn - he sees dollar signs where any normal, well-adjusted parent would see a child who deserves a happy childhood.

4. Just gossip from a
"celebrity biographer". Joe Jackson would have to be a really stupid person to say such a thing with the custody of the children still being considered.

11. I agree. I don't totally believe this story.
Not because I don't think Joe is an asshole that wouldn't do this, but I don't see him getting away with doing this.

44. It is entirely in the realm of possibility that those kids are his.
My niece and nephew are bi-racial. My niece looks as African-American as her mom, my nephew looks like a blonde haired, blue eyed version of my brother with light skin to match. Besides, blanket looks a heck of a lot like Michael Jackson.

7. I hope the reports that Debbie Rowe filed her custody case to keep Joe Jackson away from the kids
Is true. Joe just wants to prostitute the kids, maybe not for sex but he wants to sell them just as surely as the child sex rings do. If even half of what Michael Jackson claimed Joe did to him was true, Joe should not be allowed within miles of any child.

Can you imaging him in court making his bid for the kids.

"I would make the best guardian for these kids. Yeah I plan on whoring them out as a musical group. We will make a mint. Want a little cut of the action Your Honor?"

20. Each of those kids needs to be assigned a
guardian ad litem NOW. There are too many things going on. I also think that everybody in that family is still scared of Joe Jackson, and they won't cross him. Those kids need somebody for them only. As much as I would like Rowe to get the kids, I doubt if she could get Blanket. It would be horrible to separate the 3 of them.

They would be better off running away to be raised by wolves at this point. The Palin kids should have been long gone to los lobos.

Why does Joe think nobody even saw their faces until now?

I predicted this, down to the name of the group. I guess a lot of us did.

It's impossible for them to inherit any of "dad's" talent. Joe Jackson is a bloodsucking shyster of the highest order.

38. And when I said that it was no accident those kids were on stage during that memorial service,
I got torn a NEW ONE.

I KNEW this was going to happen. The only thing that Joe Jackson loves is money, and he sees nothing but dollar signs with those kids.

Frankly, anyone who didn't see this coming from a mile away needs to have an eye exam. :mad:

40. Just because Joe Jackson may have made this comment doesn't mean shit.
Edited on Mon Jul-13-09 07:22 PM by Lilyeye
Does the entire family have to be considered money hungry just because of their father? It has been stated plenty of times that it was never planned for the family to speak. The family and friends were on stage singing "Heal the World" and at the end Marlon decided to speak. Then when he mentioned that Janet wanted to speak, Paris asked if she could. So I can see why you were torn a new one.

43. Gosh, thanks
>Does the entire family have to be considered money hungry just because of their father?<

Nobody's reined him in yet, so I'd have to say "yes".

>So I can see why you were torn a new one.<

Gosh, thanks for the comment. I don't know how I got through a day till you let me know how you felt about this.

Michael Jackson kept those children out of the public eye as much as possible while they were alive. It's hard for me to believe he would think it appropriate that they be onstage at all, and especially during his memorial service.

In the meantime, we will see Joe Jackson's continuing efforts to make money off his son Michael's children until custody is awarded to someone else that has the pocketbook and the will to resist him.

45. Reined him in? No one can stop him from making any comments.
Edited on Mon Jul-13-09 10:52 PM by Lilyeye
Speaking about what he wants to do, isn't the same as doing it. Until I see them allowing Joe put those children in a group, I will hold out any judgements. From what has been reported, Joe and Katherine live in two different states and have for years. The only reason they aren't divorced is because of Katherine's religious beliefs. He has no custody or right to those children.

I also don't see anything wong with the children speaking about their father if they asked to. If you had of watched the entire memorial you would have seen that it was an innocent moment. Unless you did watch and just want to continue to make something bad out of it.

>Gosh, thanks for the comment. I don't know how I got through a day till you let me know how you felt about this.<

The point of a message board is to post your opinions and make comments. Making comments is expected. So what is with the smart ass remark? I am not asking you to care or like what I have to say. Unless you were just attempting to sound witty and funny.

I was reading on ABC News that Debbie and Katherine may have come to a deal. One part of the agreement was that Joe will never have custody or be considered a guardian to the children. I hope this is true because that man is scum.

49. Joe is tone-deaf when it comes to public relations. Talked about his new record label at BET Awards,
... when he was ostensibly being interviewed about his son who died two days before. Talked a little bit about Michael, then wanted to talk about his new record label. Made him look like the world's biggest bastard.

So him saying this out loud to someone who might write it down wouldn't surprise me AT ALL!
