THE FACTS
Joe Jackson has filed another lawsuit appealing last week’s court decision naming John Branca and John McClain has executors of Michael Jackson’s estate.

THE SPIN
TMZ reports that Cat Daddy Jackson won’t rest until the Michael Jackson estate tricks him off some extra ends the way it used to back in the day.

Not taking the hint at a judge disagreeing with him, Papa Joe has filed an appeal claiming that the signature on his son’s last known will is forged. As a result, Joseph is demanding that John and John be booted as executors of Michael’s estate.

Can someone cut this man a check for a reality show already so he can stop this? What part of you weren’t named in the will and Michael doesn’t want you to have any of his money is he not understanding?

It won’t be long before he’s knocking on Blanket’s cubby asking for some of the stash in his piggy bank.

THE FACTS
Excerpts from Janet Jackson’s interview with ABC News have been released.

THE SPIN
While the rest of the Jacksons dance around the question, Janet flat out says she blames Dr. Conrad Murray for the death of Michael Jackson.

In tonight’s interview with ABC’s Robin Roberts, Damita Jo says this about Dr. Murray: “He was the one that was administering. I think he is responsible.”

And she also recalls how she found out about her brother Michael dying:

“I was at my house in New York. You know, another day. Another morning. And I get a call…[my assistant] said, ‘Your brother’s been taken to the hospital. It’s on CNN right now.’ I called everyone…I spoke to Mother. I spoke to Tito. I spoke to my nephew Austin. I spoke to my sister La Toya.

I told them to call me when they got to the hospital. And I remember thinking, nobody’s calling me back, so I tried calling again, and that’s how I found out that he was no longer.”

It didn’t ring true to me. It felt like a dream. It’s still so difficult for me to believe.”

In addition to thoughts on Michael’s death, Janet was asked about a longstanding rumor about her father, Joe.

When asked if he was indeed abusive, the youngest Jackson answered:

“You have to keep in mind that I’m the baby. I think it’s old-school. And that may extrapolate into, ah, being a little abusive. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

THE FACTS
In a hearing over about Michael Jackson’s estate, Katherine and Joe Jackson take opposite sides.

THE SPIN
It seems like Mama Jackson is not the pushover some people take her for.

According to TMZ Katherine Jackson’s new lawyer, Adam Streisand, told a judge that Joe has no legal standing to object to John Branca and John McClain’s roles as executors of Michael Jackson’s estate. Papa Joe tried to claim the signature on Michael’s last known will was forged, and thus should be nullified.

Streisand argued Katherine has no problem with them as executors and that since Michael didn’t mention him in the will Joe has no legal standing to say anything.

That’s what the kids call shade, Joe.

Joe then threatened that if he doesn’t get an allowance, he’ll file a creditor’s claim against his son’s estate. Super classy, ya’ll.

Joe tried to say Katherine made a deal, which kept her from co-signing his legitimate estate challenge.  But Katherine denied this, and noted that while she has no problem with him asking for money, she objected to his right to contest who runs Michael’s finances.

You know, given Michael didn’t think enough of him to mention him in his will and all.

A judge agreed and told Joe to sit his old self down (in PC, legal speak, of course) and formally appointed Branca and McClain co-executors of the Jackson estate.

All’s well that ends well?

However, Joe Jackson will get his day in court next month to decide whether or not he deserves an allowance from Michael Jackson’s estate.Source: 1, 2
