Katherine Jackson -- This Isn't It

Posted Oct 16th 2009 10:00AM by TMZ Staff

Katherine Jackson Something is going on with the Jackson family ... multiple sources are telling us the family has been invited with open arms to attend the premiere of "This Is It" ... but Katherine Jackson and other family members insist they have been snubbed.

Here's what we know -- 60 tickets for the Michael Jackson movie have been offered to the family, yet Katherine insists no one ever called them about getting seats. Several sources tell us they believe the ticket offer was made to certain members of the family but the offer was never relayed to Katherine.

Fact is ... Katherine doesn't want to see the movie. She tells TMZ as far as she's concerned it's not a real movie because there is no acting -- just rehearsal footage.

But we're also told Jackson's three kids have been telling Katherine they want to see it ... bad.

Joe Jackson insists "This Is It" is mostly body doubles and "the media is going to tear this movie apart."

Sources say Sony not only offered the Jackson family seats to the premiere, but also offered a private screening.

Is it possible one of Katherine's sons is hoarding info? Just a theory ...

More Michael Jackson

2. " not a real movie because there is no acting -- just rehearsal footage"

Michael Jackson momma has a point. It's not a real movie. It's just a way for those greedy SOB's at AEG to make a quick buck.

4. I hope this is not true, I hope the Family do go and see the movie and if Michael kids want to see they should be able to see it, they were able to handle 3 different funeral services so they can handle this, let them see their father who was an entertainer at his best, Please let them see it, in a private setting or at the theater, it should be their decision. I miss you Michael Jackson, always.

5. 183. Insanity Says:


"Stranger in Moscow" is the fifth and final single from Michael Jackson's album HIStory. The song was released worldwide in November 1996 but was not released in the United States until August 1997. The track was written by Jackson in 1993, at the height of the highly publicized child abuse accusations made against him, while on tour in Moscow. In the ballad, Jackson sings of a fall from grace that has left him lonely, isolated, paranoid and on the verge of "Insanity".

Just like Michael listened to people who ultimately harmed him; seems like deja vue all over again.

Well tmz anything is possible but why make this statement when you do not know for sure? You do not know what is going on behind closed doors so stop assuming and get facts! Better yet leave the Jackson family alone and find out what is going on with the invesitgation!

14. If you believe ANYTHING Joe Jackson says you have some real reality issues. If it's all body doubles etc - why is Joe Jackson having a special $3000 screening of it in Las Vegas with an invitation to come see his son's movie?

Whatever.

15. Joe Jackson insists "This is It" is mostly body doubles and "the media is going to tear this movie apart." ????

Seriously? Then how come he is inviting people to the premiere in Vegas??

And how come he's asking money from fans for a private screening?
