Joe Jackson to Branca: 'Mr. Who?'

Posted Oct 2nd 2009 1:38PM by TMZ Staff

Joe Jackson just arrived at the L.A. County Courthouse in the Michael Jackson probate case.

Joe Jackson: Click to watch
As we first reported, we expect some family members along with attorney Brian Oxman and possibly Katherine Jackson's lawyers, to challenge John Branca as the named co-executor in Jackson's will. We're told they have a document showing Jackson fired Branca. It's true, Jackson fired the lawyer several times over 29 years, but Jackson rehired Branca a week before his death.

The judge will be all ears at 1:30 PM PT when the parties discuss how well Jackson's 3 kids are doing with the guardianship.

By the way, when asked about Branca, Joe said, "Mr. Who?"

5. I hope Joe testifies so the judge can see what an ass he is. Probably Katherine's lawyers are too smart to let that happen.

8. Hey TMZ what ever happened with the 20 something young man who was said to be Michael's son? Any word on that?

Posted at 1:59PM on Oct 2nd 2009 by what about whats his name

9. I am sorry to say this but why is it we are always seeing Joe, Jermaine or LaToya (after MJ's death), this is too much. If I was Joe I would let Mrs. Jackson handle all of the affairs dealing with MJ, since Joe abused him in life.

In my opinion all 3 need to take a nice trip to Mars or some far away planet and stay there for the next 999 years and they can take the rest of the Jackson family that are now making money off of MJ's death, I am sure no one would miss them including me.

12. I would like someone to ask Joe about how he used to strip Michael naked, rub in down with oil, and beat him with a ironing cord while Katherine only asked him not to kill him--not stop--just don't kill him.

Ma and Pa Jackson should both had been jailed.

13. Who do they want running things, Joe? In the Glenda tapes MJ said he was a poor businessman. I don't think they'll find anyone better than John Banca and he was MJ's choice. The judge should put an end to all their nonsense already.
