Jackson Family Feud Over Tribute Concert (video)
Three of Michael Jackson’s siblings were no-shows at his “Forever Michael” Tribute concert in England over the weekend.
Pop star Janet Jackson and her brothers, Randy and Jermaine Jackson, decided not to attend the tribute concert because they considered it inappropriate to hold the concert while the Conrad Murray manslaughter trial was still ongoing in Los Angeles.
In a statement to the Associated Press, Janet, 45, said “Because of the trial, the timing of this tribute to our brother would be too difficult for me,” her statement reads.
Her older brothers Randy, 49, and Jermaine, aka Muhammed Abdul Aziz, 56, released a joint statement on the day the concert was announced:
“There will come a time and place for an amazing and deserving tribute to Michael,” the brothers’ statement read. “But we feel that the most important tribute we can give to our brother at this time is to seek justice in his name.”
According to ABC News, there is also criticism that the Jackson family is keeping some of the money that’s supposed to be earmarked for charities. There are rumors that this is the reason several A-list celebrities pulled out of the concert.

Network Leaves Rihanna Out of ‘Extreme Makeover’ TV Promo Ads
First lady Michelle Obama was featured prominently in ABC network’s promotional Tv ads for “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” season premiere which aired last night.
Most viewers who watched the TV commercials had no idea that Rihanna would be on the show because she was left out of the TV ads. In fact, the network did promote Rihanna’s appearance as a “surprise guest” on blogs and in print media, but not in commercial spots that featured the first lady Michelle Obama. Mrs. Obama simply wasn’t interested in sharing screen time with a public drunken mess like Rihanna.
The Bajan singer, who once famously said, “I’m a rock star, not a role model!,” wasn’t actually on hand to help build a new house for needy families. Instead, she held a meet and greet with the families and a woman’s veteran’s group backstage at one of her concert stops (see video).
There’s no doubt that Rihanna’s public drunkenness has become a major cause for concern. Yesterday on Twitter.com, Rihanna lashed out at others who accused her of being a drug addict. But it appears that she Rihanna was worrying about the wrong thing. She failed to address her alcoholism which has become the talk of industry.
