Oh God! Joe Jackson needs to tone it down.

All a judge has to do is see how screwed up the Jackson kids are/were to know that Katherine and Joe shouldn’t be allowed within 100 feet of those poor kids.

I PLEAD for the powers that be to keep those kids as far away from Joe Jackson as possible! They seem like great kids and all stories I have read describe them as extremely well adjusted. Joe’s comments about getting them a proper education and feeding them right or whatever make me cringe.

Just give the kids to Diana Ross or something. Oh, and I’m kind of peeved how Lauren Conrad’s book is the Best-Seller! I still am debating if she even wrote the book herself… It just annoys me that a lot of people work hard to be a author and struggle so much and yet, Lauren Conrad slaps her name onto a book (whether she wrote it or not) and it sells. Not fair. At all.

Are you going to see Bruno, Trent?

Joe Jackson really is a selfish pig… fucking sickening.
July 11th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
Yeah, Joe Jackson shouldn’t be allowed near those poor kids. I think Janet should have them. She seems to have her head screwed on right, would give them a happy childhood and guide them into being stable adults.

psh, i am NOT willing to believe lauren conrad actually wrote that book. she didn’t even complete college, thus it was probably ghostwritten.
July 11th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
Lauren Conrad’s literary success? Please, can we say ghost writer? Besides, these days making the top of the New York Times has nothing to do with actual literary talent.
She has millions of little fangirls and suburban women going to the beach who will buy this book and say it’s ‘brilliant’ or a good read, mostly because they don’t know what a great book actually is and because what passes for entertainment these days is sorely lacking imo.
Lauren Conrad has accomplished nothing-well unless you consider a “reality” show that brought the Speidi plague into our culture and follows around vapid white people an accomplishment. Oh yeah and don’t forget her failed fashion line.

Oh yeah and keep those kids as far away from Joe Jackson as they can get. He effed up in kid too many.
July 11th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
Joe Jackson needs those kids like Octomom needed that invetro. BAD IDEA.
July 11th, 2009 at 4:10 pm
joe jackson is prolly the reason debbie is interested in having some rights to the children, so she can tell him where to shove it if he tries to coerce them into a career
July 12th, 2009 at 1:05 am
OMFG!!! i hope the judge has enough sense to keep those kids away from Joe & Katherine Jackson…. i mean look at how their kids turned out…
Having Joe anywhere those kids is def a BAD idea…

wth. joe jackson is just downright selfish. as if it wasn’t enough that he sucked the childhood out of mj. now he wants to do the same to his grandchildren.
is there anything else in his mind besides fame and wealth?!

Bleh I read an excerpt of LA Candy and the book was not well written whatsoever.
