Did Jermaine Jackson Lie to Larry King?

This story should be called Jermaine Jackson lies to Larry King, and Larry King likes it.

Michael Jackson’s older brother appeared on Larry King Live on CNN last night and simply lied to the talk show host about his book proposal.

It was amusing to see, because Jermaine has used King in the past to promote whatever ridiculous thing is passing through his febrile mind. Previous go-rounds have included Jermaine promoting non-existent charities.

Twice in 2003 and at least once in 2001, Jermaine told King he was behind something called EarthVision International. The organization does not exist, except maybe in Jermaine’s imagination.

King has never questioned him about it on Jermaine’s numerous appearances. There is an Earth Care International in Arizona, but they claim no knowledge of Jermaine Jackson.

Back on Sept. 8, 1997, Jermaine told Larry that the Jackson 5 was getting back together for a benefit extravaganza called Earthvision '98. He said the 90-minute program would benefit a group he named as the Sunshine Foundation of Feasterville, Pa.

Jackson announced that the small group that grants wishes for ill children would get money by honoring “Muhammad Ali, Sophia Loren, Stevie Wonder and Bishop Desmond Tutu for their humanitarian achievements.”

Jermaine said Earthvision '98 would be broadcast live July 2, 1998, from the Heridon Theater in Athens, Greece.

The whole thing never materialized. Jermaine lives at home with his mother despite being the father — as he says — of about 10 children.

You get the idea.

Last night, Jermaine said Michelle Caruso’s report about his book proposal, revealed in the New York Daily News on Sunday, was untrue. He said he thought he might file a lawsuit. He said the book proposal Caruso cited, written by Stacy Brown, was a fake, and that, he, Jermaine had the real one.

Of course, he didn’t bother to show Larry the “real” book proposal, and Larry didn’t ask him for it either.

Larry did ask him how Michael was, and where Michael was. Jermaine lied, and said Michael was in Bahrain (he’s in London).

Since Jermaine holds himself out as one of Michael’s spokesmen, Larry did not bother to ask him how his brother’s employees were supposed to function without paychecks or health insurance, how the family would pay off a $2.2 million mortgage on their home in Encino or what Michael would do now that his own note holder could foreclose at any moment on $270 million worth of loans.

I was so interested in Jermaine Jackson’s 2003 proposal for a book about his brother Michael that I called around to find the actual document. Jermaine had shopped it around to several book publishers and sure enough, there still were copies to be found.

Here are excerpts from it, in Jermaine’s own voice. I have no idea where he is right now, but my guess is that if Michael has found out about this, Jermaine is on his way to a place much farther away than Bahrain:

“My brother is a superstar, yes. My brother is wealthy. He owns shares in Sony music. He drinks, he does drugs, he lies, he cheats, he changed his skin color and mostly, he’s human. He attracts gay men and wards off women like the plague.”

“He married a woman because she was pregnant and he was doing business with Muslims (which I am a Muslim) and Muslims won’t do business with someone who is engaged in having children without being married.

"He paid this woman, who nobody would ever look twice at, several million dollars. My brother purchased children. It is like a sanctioned black market. He is very powerful; he picked the sperm donor by using information provided by a sperm bank. Now, who can do that? Michael Jackson, that’s who, my brother.

“I have maintained my residence by my mother's side at the family's Hayvenhurst estate in Encino, California because I know how much I am needed there. Michael counts on me to be there as does the rest of my family.”

[Columnist note: this would verify the long-held belief that Katherine and Joseph Jackson, who have filed for divorce in the past, do not live together. Joseph’s fathering of an illegitimate child, reported and documented in several places, could have contributed to this.]

“It was my little brother, he conceived the whole idea behind DreamWorks. The logo is still proudly the official logo of Neverland. Unfortunately, Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen all stole the idea from him. That’s one reason why Michael hates Jewish people so much. But he plays the game with them. There is a game that all in Hollywood play. But the Jews are the powerful ones and they have done a lot to put my brother in his place….just another nigger. That’s what Don King told Michael at the start of the "Victory" tour. No matter what Michael, you’re just another nigger.

“My brother doesn’t always learn the valuable lessons life teaches. He is stubborn, hard-headed and, at times, harsh. He is cold, calculating and devious. The blood of his father runs freely through him. We were all afraid that the blood of Joseph Jackson would eventually contaminate all of us.

“But this is still my family and I love every one of them and I won’t sit by and let my brother go to prison. Prison would kill him. I’ve thought about doing the time for him, if he’s convicted. Michael wouldn’t survive in prison for one day. He’d commit suicide.

“Joseph did some disgusting things to Latoya and Rebbie, especially. If it weren’t for Mother’s loyalty to him, he’d probably be in prison for what he did to our sisters.”

Hmmm...maybe LaToya wasn't lying about the sexual abuse. I have to tell you, I feel like parent of the century when I read about this family. I'm not perfect but compared to Joe and Kathryn, I'm a bloody saint.

Sorry but that's asshole-talk.
Ow yeah, talk about stealing ideas:
"Hey Michael, Paul McCartney wants his music back"
Please just deport this family of assholes
jeez.

Well, its official: There is not one sane Jackson.

Rebbie actually seems pretty normal, and maybe Marlon, but then again theyre really the only ones who havnt been in the spotlight (which in this family's case makes them seem semi-grounded), so who knows!

Has anyone ever seen the VH1 special about Michael Jackson's secret childhood? Caught part of it, and have it on tivo to watch, but there's lots of really bad bad allegations against the dad. He was the stage father from hell. It's so so sad, looking back at those videos from the late 1960's & early 1970's and what cute kids those Jacksons were, who'd ever know what was going on behind the scenes.

On a semi related topic, my teenage son, when he was really little, was going thru my stack of vinyl records and saw Thriller & Off The Wall. He asked me who that was and I told him it was Michael Jackson, and his reply was, "no Mommy, this guy in this picture is black, he CAN'T be Michael Jackson". I can't remember what I even said.

Not too long, there was a Michael Jackson song playing on the radio - Billie Jean, I think. My 12yo daughter came into the room and asked ... Was Michael Jackson black when he sang that song? I laughed so hard I was almost crying. And then she said ... What's so funny? He's white now.

Out of the mouths of babes!
