3. The complaint by AllGood Entertainment has no merit, none of the Jackson family members were even aware of the plans to begin with... It is strictly a matter between AGE and Frank Dileo, who hasn't managed any of the Jacksons since the 1980s.

Read the official statement by The Jacksons at:

In an official statement issued today The Jacksons (Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Randy Jackson) have denied they were in any way involved with a proposed Jackson 5 reunion concert in Texas on July 3rd claimed this week by New Jersey concert promoters AllGood Entertainment.

According to The Jackson’s manager, Danny O’Donovan, the original members of the Jackson 5, and younger brother, Randy, who later joined Michael and his older brothers performing as The Jacksons, were never approached about participating in the purported Texas concert event with Michael and sister, Janet...

4. The thing with Janet is she herself can easily be in the same situation as Michael right now because they have both done so well worldwide, i dont really know why Janet has to in that circle with the brothers, But it would be nice 2 see Janet and Michael perform together!

5. (16-5-2009) Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Randy Jackson have put out a press release where they comment on recent rumours that the Jackson family is planning a family reunion concert:

Beverly Hills, CA, May 15, 2009 — In an official statement issued today The Jacksons (Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Randy Jackson) have denied they were in any way involved with a proposed Jackson 5 reunion concert in Texas on the third of July claimed this week by New Jersey concert promoters AllGood Entertainment.

According to The Jacksons' manager, Danny O'Donovan, the original members of the Jackson 5, and younger brother, Randy, who later joined Michael and his older brothers performing as The Jacksons, were never approached about participating in the purported Texas concert event with Michael and sister, Janet.

The Jacksons have said they will support Michael in fighting any legal action brought by AllGood Entertainment with regard to the promoter's claim about a concert in Texas Stadium on July 3.

O'Donovan said "There is absolutely no merit in this claim, and we had no knowledge of any contract, with anyone, for a so-called family tour reunion. In fact, The Jacksons were never even approached about it and no offer was ever made to them."

All of the Jackson brothers are thrilled that Michael is returning to the live stage this summer and are totally in support of his historic 50 concert run at London's O2 Arena. They eagerly look forward to seeing and enjoying his "This Is It!" concert event.

6. The plan of AllGood Entertainment was to host a "one-time event" tentatively titled "The Jackson Family Reunion: A Concert for the World" in the summer of 2009.

In addition to the proposal (which was drafted in attempts of locating a sponsor to fund the project), has reviewed several contractual documents between AllGood Entertainment and Frank Dileo. On November 26, 2008, a four page confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement was signed with regards to the reunion concert; the document is signed by roughly half a dozen parties including Frank Dileo. The term of the agreement was for 18 months following November 2008. The other signed agreement, drafted on November 21, 2008 and signed on November 25, 2008, was again four pages and signed by Frank Dileo and affiliated parties of AllGood Entertainment. This agreement called for at least a 90 minute performance by Michael Jackson and 150 minute performance overall by all parties of the Jackson family. The agreement also called for a press conference in which all Jackson family members were present to announce the concert. The Jackson family members would receive $24 million in profit for their involvement with the remaining money being distributed to the affiliated parties.

It should be noted that nowhere in any contract does the signature or authorization of ANY Jackson family member exist, it appears these contracts and proposals were drafted explicitly by Frank Dileo and AllGood Entertainment with no signed confirmation by any of the Jackson family members; it is unclear to what degree the Jackson family members are even aware of the whole situation.

Back on March 27, 2009, AllGood Entertainment sent a cease and desist letter via e-mail to Randy Phillips of AEG, which MJJR.net has also reviewed. This was in regards to an article that appeared online questioning who Michael Jackson's spokesperson really was, which stated: "A spokesman for Dileo told CelebrityAccess that they would release a statement along with AEG to address Rowe's claims next week and suggested that legal action may be in the offing." The letter threatened AEG with legal action if Frank Dileo continued any alleged partnership with AEG during the period of time he was meant to be with AllGood Entertainment.

At the time the agreement was signed, AllGood Entertainment allocated up to 120 days for Dileo to get written confirmation from all of the Jackson family members, including Michael, and stated that if more time was needed to do so they'd have to subsequently discuss and agree upon it in writing. AllGood Entertainment was also called on to pay Dileo or his firm $2 million (or at least 10% of that) by December 31, 2008 "to secure the Jacksons in good faith" [the total they expected to pay the Jacksons for their commitment is $24 million. It is unclear whether such money ever exchanged hands.

On April 11, 2009 Randy Phillips responded to the cease and desist notice in stating that "Mr. Dileo and does not involve AEG Live in any manner whatsoever," and advised AllGood Entertainment that any legal issues were between that company and Frank Dileo and it has no involvement with AEG or their Jackson-related endeavors what-so-ever. In fact, this claim was reiterated in two separate e-mails from Mr. Phillips, and it has been stated that he worked directly with Michael Jackson and Dr. Tohme Tohme to negotiate the AEG contracts and procedures. In rebuttal of these claims, AllGood Entertainment sent a second notice again citing the CelebrityAccess article published on the Internet which referenced Frank Dileo as acting on behalf of Michael Jackson and AEG. However, the notice by AllGood Entertainment also seems to erroneously quote the published article using quotes which do not actually appear in the article itself. As a final follow-up, AllGood Entertainment wrote: "While Frank Dileo's actions were reprehensible, AEG's very public support of Dileo and continued association with him despite our efforts to Cease and Desist them, is tantamount to anti-trust and anti-competitive practices."

In summary, two contracts and agreements were signed by December 1, 2008 by Frank Dileo and parties relating to Dileo's agency and AllGood Entertainment's agency. None of these contracts bare any signature of the Jacksons, nor has there been any confirmation that the Jackson siblings are aware of these concert-related plans. Even within the proposal that detailed at length the expenses, profits, and plans of each artist, there are no direct quotes from any of the Jacksons themselves to bring credence to the proposal.

With no signatures or authorization by Michael Jackson within the contracts between Frank Dileo and AllGood Entertainment, and seemingly just one online Web site referencing that Frank Dileo had any involvement with AEG, there does not appear to be much legal cause for concern over the O2 concerts.

Finally, on October 30, 2008 (one month before any such contracts, proposals, or agreements were drafted and signed), Michael Jackson issued the following statement: "My brothers and sisters have my full love and support, and we’ve certainly shared many great experiences, but at this time I have no plans to record or tour with them. I am now in the studio developing new and exciting projects that I look forward to sharing with my fans in concert soon."

7. The mistake made was putting Michael in the same room as his father.

8. The problem is that if you employ a manager, that individual can make commitments for you just as someone with a power of attorney can commit you to almost anything within the scope of that document without getting prior consent. In the past, I have known military men who came home after a deployment to find someone else living in their house, their spouse having used a power of attorney to sell the place and move away. Whacko seems to have developed a habit of not paying too much attention to anything that isn't going on inside his own head. More's the shame, but too bad for him... he's a middle aged man who should at least touch base with reality once in a while.

9. It's getting to be a sick joke that everyone is suing Jacko. Honestly, regardless of his flaws he can't possibly be guilty of that many things. He must have some crooked management as well. It's pretty obvious everyone is trying to cash in, the timing with his new concerts is too uncanny. Now that he has more money, everyone feels entitled. I don't blame this guy for being a recluse, I'd be tucked away from the world too.

10. RE- DIRECT TO.... #3 YOU STATED:
" The complaint by AllGood Entertainment has no merit,
none of the Jackson family members were even aware of the plans to begin with...
It is strictly a matter between AGE and Frank Dileo, who hasn't managed any of the Jacksons since the 1980s."
-------------------------------
WRONG!!!!!
If this case has no merit as you claim.
Then how is it that they were able to get
the Jacksons into one room?

If you know anything about this family,
you would also know that it is almost impossible to get
them together within the same State.
Much less the same room.

No this case has legs,
and at least two main Jackson siblings are very nervous.

Anyone that willingly does business with any of the Jacksons,
is a Grand Fool.....ARTOFWAR.

11. i wonder whether anyone can get your family within the same room either, you are probably a bastrad with no life , well from your post you pretty sure seems with no brain cells
after someone is presented with the fact that no one of the brothers and sisters signed any deal first and second the one who signed the deal does not represent micheal jackson in any way , someone would believe you would back off but this is the reason why stupid people exist they can't use logic, go get a life

12. RE-DIRCT T0 # 9 (SARA)

No life??? LOL..
My life is larger than your pea
brain could possibly comprehend.
Sounds like you are on the Jackson's payroll.
which can only mean that you are a worthless
broke bum...

In any sense:

I have spoken, so there is no further need for discussion.
Besides, Kings need not answer to peasants.

However, I do have one suggestion for you.
Keep your tongue out of grown folks business.
Because someday, someone is going to rip it out of your barren little skull.

And properly insert it up your (I'm sure,) quite cavernous rectum.
Just a word of advise.
My Kraut-Mick Friend..

Now (SARA)
I give you permission to respond.

I am quite sure you have plenty of time on your hands.
(Nuff Said)....ARTOFWAR.

13. Where did SARA go...she must be a Jackson FanGirl....SICK

Posted at 4:12PM on May 16th 2009 by HUH

14. you know what there is a new research published recently talks about how hatred is increasing on the internet and becoming real issue.

for example why somebody like you who supposedly has "a life" go on message boards attacing a celebrity he/she is not in anyway attached to.
i mean i'm a fan when i comment on something that's going on in his life i do this becuase i care as i said i'm a fan.
i can't imagine myself going on some boards attacing other celebrities just for the sake of doing so.
you simply have no idea whatever about this issue nevertheless you came here to post not once but twice , why ?

Posted at 4:25PM on May 16th 2009 by sara

15. as for the "Kings need not answer to peasants" comment ; you can't be any more correct.
the only problem here is in America there are no Kings there are only COWBOYS.
and what you consider as being "kings" are only laughable jokes worldwide with no real history not even a real culture `
read some history books darling cus i have a feeling your dady can't educate you (i still insist that you are a bastard with some psychological damage)
read some history books and the only truth you will find is that your COWBOYS have no reputation for being smart, and they are the reason people demanding abroad that stupidity and ignorance are crimes should be punishable in a court of law.
those books will tell you that the only peasants are your ancestors.
