Gossip & Rumors
What the Hell Are the Jacksons Doing Now?!

Who knew Motown would lead to skid row? Did you know that the majority of the Jackson family is broke and scrapping for cash -- doing odd jobs like stocking shelves at supermarkets and working on cars to make ends meet?

According to a crazazy report by the New York Post, most of the Jackson clan isn't fairing too well financially -- some of the Jackson boys are even still living at home! Check out a rundown of the current state of events.

Michael is on the verge of losing Neverland ranch as well as the family's Encino, Calif., home. He is currently hiding out in Las Vegas.

Marlon stocks shelves at a Vons supermarket in San Diego, and had to temporarily move into an extended-stay hotel with his wife.

Tito formed a band and plays at small gigs for $500 to $1,500.

Randy does odd jobs for income. He acted as Michael's business manager during the 2005 molestation trial, but ran into problems with friends after he persuaded three people to take out lines of credits against their homes to help Michael pay his attorney fees and Michael stiffed them!

Jackie had a failed Internet clothing business and tries to produce. He still lives at home with his parents.

Jermaine splits time between the parents home and his girlfriend's home. He has more than $5 million in federal, state and other liens against him and a 1995 bankruptcy filing. He does not work and is still involved in a messy, protracted divorce.

Janet is the current breadwinner of the family. She bought her mom a Vegas home in anticipation of losing the family's mansion to foreclosure.

La Toya is all but shunned from the family for declaring Michael guilty during the 1993 molestation case. She earns a living mostly in Europe judging beauty and singing contests. She lives with a wealthy boyfriend in Beverly Hills and has little contact with her siblings.

Rebbie married successful businessman Nathaniel Brown.

Daddy Joe still thinks the Jackson family can get it together, saying, "We can get back out there and set the world on fire. If the Rolling Stones can still rake in the money, so too can my boys." Riiiiight.

18. the typical show biz story...................people get rich that know nothing about being rich ........they squander is thinking the money will come in forever... nouveau riche........shows how much airplay they are getting and the royalities are probably non existant since someone (hello dad) made bad deals with the recording and publishing rights.......

at many times is was said that micheal was supporting the whole family.......that's why they rallied around him during the , ahem, trials....to keep the money source out of jail.........now that micheal is broke.........I guess they will turn their 'support' t janet............whichever way the money goes..........the family follows

21. This breaks my heart. They are truly talented despite their personalities.. I recommend some old fashioned forgiveness and everybody just get together leave the egos outside the door and SING.

24. You would think that with all the junk that Michael has collected over the years they could go on antiques roadshow and make a fortune!

26. they should start a financial consulting firm. not.

27. It`s pretty simple. Have the Jackson 5 (Mike included) embark on a massive world tour, have Janet open for them like she said she would. People would still pay to see them. Trust.

28. I already know this story is not true. Tito is a judge on a successful show in Britain and another of MJ's brothers is an executive or co-owner of a TV network.

Oh, and Michael Jackson's 25th Anniversary Thriller is selling more than Feedback.

Posted at 3:24PM on Mar 23rd 2008 by THIS IS FALSE

29. OMG people...cant you see that sometimes TMZ lies?!
How can all of the Jacksons have finacially trouble?! It just isn't possible! Michael Jackson for sure, is definitely not in debt..and by the way...TMZ got it wrong...Michael got Neverland ranch back...so TMZ are all lies! Its the tabloids! Why would you believe it?! Stop hating people and let the people live!
