Someone at Sony needs to get Katherine Jackson’s private number fast. Michael Jackson’s mother tells TMZ that her family has not been invited to the premiere of the his concert rehearsal movie This Is It. Meanwhile, Sony claims they’ve not only offered 60 tickets to the clan, but a private screening beforehand as well. The gossip site wonders if one of her sons is keeping information from Katherine, and it sure sounds like someone is.
Ironically, Katherine says she doesn’t want to see the This Is It anyway, as it isn’t a finished project—just rehearsal and backstage footage. MJ’s father Joe Jackson has stronger about the project, accusing the filmmakers of mostly using body doubles. “The media is going to tear this film apart.” But with TMZ reporting that the late singer’s children are anxious to catch the film, Katherine and Joe are two people Sony should be eager to please.

seriously though that was her son. Having a son myself, you can never ever take the fact away that she raised Michael, not “Michael Jackson”. Knowing that the one you carried for 9 months is gone is beyond the pain that is on her face.

I know nothing and Katherine Jackson and I don’t have kids of my own but I have a very strong bond with my mother and if I died, she would be beyong crushed. I feel for Katherine Jackson. She is an older woman and I can only imagine how she must feel. We know that Michael loved her above all but it’s also clear that despite this love, she had little influence over him over the last couple of years. It’s hard to imagine what it must have been for her to see her son slip into more and more controversy and drama day after day, be surrounded by leeches and advantage takes and detriorate.. I was neve a fan of Michael Jackson but there is no question that he was the most talented and original artist of our time and maybe of all times. My hearts goes out to his children and his mother, his siblinds and Joe Jackson as well. Whatever their differences, he was his father and this must be hard on him. This is just so tragic. Michael is gone and he is spared the pain of the present. However, his poor kids have to face all dhis media circus and farce and try to make sense of it. I just hope Katherine can shield them from it all. God bless you all and RIP Michael. You are a KING!
