Katherine to Jermaine: The Show Must Not Go On

Posted Sep 8th 2009 5:08PM by TMZ Staff

Katherine Jackson and Jemaine JacksonKatherine Jackson and other members of her family are angry at Jermaine over the Michael Jackson tribute concert in Vienna -- this according to various sources.

Members of the Jackson family along with others connected with the event claim Katherine was badgered into announcing her support of the September 26 event. The sources say Jermaine was complaining to his mom about all the bad press he was receiving and repeatedly asked her to support the Vienna event.

Our sources say other than Jermaine none of the other family members will be going to Vienna for the concert.

The sources say the family thinks it makes no sense to hold the first tribute event in a country that has no special connection to Michael Jackson.

One family member says it's another example of Jermaine doing what's best for Jermaine, regardless of what the rest of the family wants. The family member scoffed at the event, calling it "The Jermaine Jackson show."

3. Jesus Christ on a Cracker! Please stop with the Michael Jackson news. He's dead. Let him rest in peace.

No more publicity for the no-talent family that keeps picking at his bones.

6. Jermaine makes me sick. Katherine really seems to have the best interest of MJ and his kids at heart. I am looking forward to Janet's tribute at the MTV awards. I'm sure it will be well done!

13. Who is the Jackson Family spokesperson? Is there one voice coming out of there that speaks for the majority?

14. If the family really wants to stay out of the spot light ,they should put a restraining order out against Jermaine. There are enough lawyers on their team to make sure Jermaine stays out of the business of promoting anything Michael Jackson,he would be free to promote his own endeavors,just stay out of the estate affairs! He and LaToya and Joe are just 3 reason why Jacko was estranged from his family.It is clear, the mission of self promotion is their motive for all their nonsense.
