Jermaine Jackson made it appear that he pushed back the date for the Michael Jackson tribute concert so big artists could clear their schedule and appear -- but here's something you probably didn't see.
On the official website for the concert, if you go to the jump page with all the legal mumbo jumbo ... it takes back everything Jermaine seems to have promised.
Here's a quote straight from the website:
"This website does not intend to convey the impression that the artists and personalities depicted here within have agreed to participate in the said event in any way, shape or form."
The legal statement has been up on the website since the beginning ... even though the front page of the site (which has since been changed) clearly stated Chris Brown, Natalie Cole and Mary J. Blige were "confirmed to appear at the tribute."
So if you buy tickets to Jermaine's tribute concert in London, a word of caution ... read the fine print.

We're not sure what the hell Jermaine Jackson was thinking when he announced the lineup for the Vienna tribute concert for Michael -- because Natalie Cole isn't gonna be there either.
Cole's rep tells us the singer definitely won't show at the tribute because she's set to attend an event with the Dalai Lama in Memphis around the same time Jermaine told the world she'd be in Vienna.
Jermaine also said Chris Brown and Mary J. Blige were going to perform -- but they've also denied being involved with the event.
Meanwhile, all three stars are still prominently displayed on the tribute's website.

Katherine Jackson says she's going to the MJ tribute concert in Vienna on the 29th -- only problem, the show's on the 26th.
As TMZ first reported, the family isn't happy about the show and nobody except Jermaine was planning on attending -- but now it looks like Katherine drank the Kool-Aid and will go, granted someone tells her the correct date.
We'll see if she actually makes it ...

Another one down -- Mary J. Blige is the second big performer to deny being involved in Jermaine Jackson's Vienna tribute concert for Michael.
Jermaine claimed Mary was on board for the concert during a press conference yesterday -- but when we saw Mary and her husband/manager out last night in NYC, they had no idea what we were talking about.
Chris Brown -- who J.J. also claimed was going to perform -- has also denied being involved in event.

Katherine 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."

Jermaine Jackson is learning a hard lesson -- the Jackson family doesn't take kindly to kinfolk who make promises on their behalf without even bothering to tell them.
You know the big flap over the Vienna Tribute concert -- where Jermaine was spearheading a special show and touting that members of Michael Jackson's family were behind it? Well family sources tell us the family is ticked that Jermaine used them to sell tickets. The family, we're told, never agreed to participate. In fact, Tito told us he was never even invited.
The family isn't happy with J.J. because the concert may now be in jeopardy and stories are being written that the brood caused the concert to crumble.
Bottom line -- Jermaine was out on his own (again) pitching his stuff and the family was out of the loop.

Former Playboy cover girl Carmen Electra promised to stay fully clothed during the premier event of Vienna's society set the Opera Ball.
Asked by reporters if she planned to cause a stir at the highbrow occasion, the former "Baywatch" star demurred.
"I'll keep my clothes on," joked Electra, who intends to wear a black-and-white gown all night long.
Electra, who is married to former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Dave Navarro, is attending the Thursday night dance at the invitation of Richard Lugner, a Vienna businessman who invites celebrities to attract media attention.
Lugner's past guests have included another ex-"Baywatch" star, Pamela Anderson, as well as actress Andie MacDowell, former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell and the Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson.
