The Jackson brothers play L.A.'s Greek Theatre this weekend as part of their "Unity" reunion tour. But don't expect to see niece Paris Jackson showing up for the gig, unless Michael's daughter is there to picket.

The name of the Jacksons' tour seems ironic — to say the least — in light of the enormous family feud that's coming to light, with 14-year-old Paris and her 82-year-old grandmother Katherine forming an intergenerational alliance on one side, pitted against her uncles and aunt Janet on the other.

I'm not surprised... they all want a piece of whatever Michael had. What they fail to realize is that if Michael died intestate (highly unlikely), every single thing he had (after paying off all his debt) goes equally to his children.

What's so shocking about this? The Jackson family has been feeding off of Michael since he was 5 years old. There's a reason he kept his distance and wouldn't speak to his siblings for years on end. Many people don't know this but Michael paid for all his nieces and nephews' education, he paid his parents' rent, he paid his family's medical bills, he even paid for Jermaine's ex-wife and his kids (who were living with Katherine) so Jermaine didn't have to pay child support, he gave his mother tens of thousands of dollars every month to support herself (which she was known to give away to the rest of the family), etc. Enough is enough. Michael made it clear in his will that he wants his money to go to his mother and children. His siblings should just respect that. And they have the nerve to say: "This has to stop now: No more! Your heartless pursuit of wealth, fame and power is at the expense of our family, whose deepest desire is to give the world a gift of hope, love and unity through our music." Can you say irony? Why did it take the brothers 30 years to get back on the road again? And they talk about "their family" as if Katherine and MJ's children are no part of it? SMH this family is a mess.

Mountain out of a molehill. Sensationalism at it's best.

And Janet obviously knew she was the next in line to become of Bank of the Jackson family. That's why she hoped on the bandwagon to prevent it.

The only reason Michael left money for his mother was because she is raising the kids.

I don't think that's true because he gave her money every month before he died. Michael adored his mother, it was the rest of his family he distanced himself from.
