I agree Joe Jackson is just unbelievably greedy. I didn't watch the BET awards, but heard he was plugging his record company. He wants to turn Neverland into a Graceland for his own profit. I'm sure he's going to try and make money on MJ's memorial service. Michael does look thin, but not on the verge of death as some reports have indicated.
I am glad to hear that MJ's family was horrified at Joe Jackson's remarks. Perhaps someone has some feelings in the family.

Horrible, just horrible. What a heartless worm...I'm glad the other Jacksons feel that way about him too...
I don't know what to think about these photos. On one hand, all people were thin like that back in the 30s-50s, and it wasn't considered unhealthy (Fred Astaire the dancer was thin like that or thinner). Mick Jagger has maintained a teenage shape. But then, MJ is 50 here!! He may have been out of shape for years, except for keeping himself thin, unlike Mick Jagger who's been active throughout.
Mick Jagger is unusual, because usually performers just live off their accumulated wealth and royalties, after a while. I sense that MJ would wish just that - having a life off spotlight. And it's too bad, because he did live on one pile of assets, but couldn't use them.
How could the people around him let this happen to him? It's horrible. He was basically a shell of a human being (entirely bald, 112 pounds, a collapsed nose, bruises, scars, injection marks all over his body) and they were insisting that he do 50 concerts? I'm surprised that he could even walk. Regardless of how you feel about the man, somebody needs to be held accountable for this. I know he bears responsibility as well, but I believe his handlers were just in it for the money and kept him pumped up on drugs all of these years.
The person responsible has already been held to account.

I know the spotlight is on Michael being abused by his father, but I'm sure the rest of the family came in for a lot of abuse.
