Jermaine Jackson - Erucu This is what you might have heard in the West Village 34 years ago.
Wow. So, in 1984 the Operations Department at the Missouri branch of Six Flags made this very elaborate (and rather professional) video for an employee talent show. I'm sure none of the performers eve... Continue reading "Six Flags Staff in 1984 + Jermaine Jackson's "Tell Me I'm Not Dreaming" = Um." >

i don't usualy get into the celeb reality shows, partly as i don't usually know who the 'celebs' are. the last celeb bb scraped the barrel but ended up the most controversial yet. i kind of hope standby contestant tony mortimer gets a go. ben adams was apparently in a band called A1. i don't remember them at all. i didn't remember the band ziggy from the last bb was supposedly in around the same time either. clearly i wasn't paying attention. mutya buena [...]

According to this article , Michael Jackson has been converted. These rumors have been circulating for ages now, but this one seems to be true as all the news agencies are talking of it. It started with Jermaine Jackson and then the Bahrain residence and now his name is Mikaeel. I don't understand why you have to change your name if you convert. It's not mandatory. And he has the world's most recognized name. I don't know what to think of this but he sure looks good in a burqa.
Despite Jermaine Jackson's apparent belief that the Jackson Five are about to get back together , Michael insists he knows nothing about it: "My brothers and sisters have my full love and support, and we've certainly shared many great experiences, but at this time I have no plans to record or tour with them," he said. "I am now in the studio developing new and exciting projects that I look forward to sharing with my fans in concert soon," he added. So - not going to happen then. On the other hand, [...]
![Michael Jackson Pours Cold Water All Over Jackson 5 Reunion Plans [Beat It]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1328828_lg.jpg)
The other day, Jermaine Jackson was shooting off his mouth about next year bringing a reunion of the Jacksons , one that, in his words, would be "more like a family affair, Janet's going to open and, of course, the original Jackson 5 ... Michael, Randy and the whole family." Well, Michael apparently wasn't apprised of this before Jermaine started working the press angle, because he's released a statement saying that he is too busy in the studio to fritter his time away with his siblings. "My brothers and sisters have my full love and support, and we've certainly [...]
Jermaine Jackson told reporters in Sydney that the Jackson 5 will be reuniting next year. "It is going to be more like a family affair, Janet's going to open and, of course, the original Jackson 5 ... Michael, Randy and the whole family." Given recent tales of the siblings' travails, from working odd jobs to troubled world tours , this might be a good thing for all concerned, including Michael, about whom no mere link can suffice to explain. Frankly, we'd like this to include every member of the family, not least because we want to hear [...]
Last night's BMI Urban Awards in Los Angeles honored the Jacksons for "lifetime achievement," and featured Lloyd singing "I'll Be There," which sadly has not shown up on YouTube yet. Of the six Jacksons who performed with the singing group, Michael and Jermaine were missing, a fractured state that caused reporters to ask where the self-proclaimed King Of Pop was—and Marlon to crack that he was "in Egypt riding a camel or something"—but no questions about the wherabouts of Jermaine. Sure, his current stretch of reality-TV appearances makes him a bit less of a mystery, but don't reporters [...]
Today's Sunday Flashback is from the ever so famous Jackson Family's... Jermaine Jackson . He brought us a great hit titled Do What You Do . Quite the dandy track (pretty much a "slow jam") it is brought to you here & today to enjoy & remember. Do What You Do (Single Version)
The Singer: As co-leader of the Jackson 5, Jermaine Jackson was heard on "Want You Back" and "ABC." Jermaine split from his brothers when he stayed with Motown Records while the rest of the 5 went to Epic Records (Jermaine was married to Berry Gordy's daughter at the time). His solo work yielded a number of chart hits, including "Let's Get Serious" and this little gem. The Song: "Do What You Do" is notable not only for its laid-back beat and purely synthesized backing track but also for its circular, [...]
Trouble for Jo O'Meara and a couple of her celeb Big Brother housemates: Ofcom is investigating complaints that Jo, Danielle Lloyd and Jade Goody have been carrying out a campaign of racially motivated bullying against Shilpa Shetty. It's unclear if Ofcom are also dealing with Jackiey Goody, who, faced with an Asian, started behaving like a real-world Marjorie Dawes, affecting not to be able to cope with the name Shilpa and describing her as "The Indian" instead. But they probably should be. Jo has been heard doing "amusing" impersonations of Shilpa's accent, which means [...]
Settling back into our usual timezone, we caught up with Celebrity Big Brother last night for the first time, which meant we only got a few short minutes of watching Donny Tourette regretting his decision to join the circus before he climbed the fence and was gone, quitting and returning to the arms of obscurity. We're presuming his role was an attempt to combine last year's Maggot (bloke from a comedy band) and Chantelle (person who wasn't a celebrity) in one housemate. Surely, the streets and cul-de-sacs of Great Britain must have rung to the words "I think [...]
I just got satellite radio & I must say its pretty intimidating. It’s like a blessing and a curse. There’s an infinite number of choices that range from Bollywood to anime scores with hosts from Snoop Dogg to David Bowie. I mean, what the hell can I say in a posting about the Golden Era of Hip-hop that DJ Premier, the host of his own show, hasn’t experienced ? The beautiful thing about it is of course now everyday it's raining different music from around the world. I can finally get more of that German Schlager bumping!!! [...]
There were few sights more heartwarming than the Jackson family rallying round Michael during his trial on charges of child sex abuse. (Talking of which, isn't it great that Jacko's back, which seemed to be giving him trouble almost every day then, appears to have healed up nicely? Must be the fresh air in the Middle East.) Equally heartwarming is the family now, apparently, rushing for the book deals. Jermaine Jackson is claimed to have been touting a memoir which echoes some of the worries of the jurors in the Jackson case: [...]
