    Janet has both feet on the ground. She had the strength and wherewithall to oversee the vans at her dear brother's house. Been there, done that. Leading and working by putting one foot in front of the other and doing the things that have to be done now by someone will be her saving grace. I hope she asks for help and assigns some tasks to others. Her and the family's best tribute to Michael will be living well, once the grief and numbness fade and they gain some perspective. He is not suffering where he is. Only those who are left suffer from the loved one's absence. I doubt he'd want that for his family, at least not for very long. Answers to questions will unfold in time. Hugs.

    i love you MJ…. good stuff janet, more than i can say about joe



  3. 103

    wow that was so touching and hard… i cried i see the pain… let's let them grive alone?



  4. 104

    She looked so beautiful, you could tell that this was so hard for her. She has so much courage. I admire her even more than i did before. I am so glad she was there I was getting kind of nervous thinking that Joseph Jackson would be the only one there and his interview would be the first and only impression at the awards show. Michael is finally at perfect, peace and at rest. I am glad and happy for him. It just that his family will miss him so much and so will all his fans. Take comfort Janet and family you will see your beloved again in paradise.



  5. 105

    I did not see the BET Award show, so I do not know how bad it was or wasn't. You know that the Grammys will have a show that is befitting a legend. Plus it was last minute. I did not see it so I do not know. Janet's speech was so beautiful and moving!!



  6. 106

    Re: Cbaby212 – I agree 110% with your statement. I was so embarrassed!



  7. 107

    wow. you can see how hard that was for her. I would have bawled. I can hardly keep it together when a sad movie scene makes me cry and i have to explain why to someone immediately afterwards. A family member, esp your close brother, would prolly kill me.
    r.i.p. michael jackson. you touched more than you can even imagine.

    p.s. o jesus christ get the fuck off perez's back its irritating.



  8. 108

    Re: mustangsal – Yeah. That's exactly what I was thinking



  9. 109

    RIP Michael. Your music legacy will live on.



  10. 110

    Re: SARScastic – Me and a handful of other fans always had Michael's back on this dang site from day 1. I for one have only come back to this site periodically b/c I am hoping that Perez will submit an apology to Michael's children, family, and fans for what he said the other day. Michael's soul and heart was just to big for this world to appreciate therefore God called him back home. Me and fans from all over the world are still truly devestated b/c Michael is "Gone to soon". Michael loved his chidren soooo much and still deserves to be here w/ them and his family right now. I miss him dearly.



  11. 111

    Re: rgann222

    Janet doesn't need to gain fame from Michael, she's famous for her own music, movies, etc…but honestly, what is wrong with these Jackson's? Who goes to an awards show before their "family, Michael" is even cold & in the ground?



  12. 112

    Perez, I love reading you every morning, don't stop, those Z-listers are just angry because you dare to say things nobody else does…you have your fans, and that's all that matters, love from France!



  13. 113

    Re: iambored – you just said u can say whatever you want and so can everybody else and so can perez. jeeez u ppl take things so personally it's not as if u no each and every one of the celebs perez talks about on here or the man himself. so y do u even care, y do u waste time on here?

  14. SusyQ says – reply to this


    114

    I love seeing photos and video of Michael as a young boy..he was so beautiful and exuberant with an extrordinary spirit and soul and whoever made that boy feel ugly and not worthy caused so much pain that would haunt that sweet man his entire life.Janet is so beautiful and has such courage..bless your heart Janet and much love to all who loved MJ..



  15. 115

    Finally someone who showed some remorse for MJ. His father was there to promote his business shit. He may rot in hell. Go Janet, i felt the pain, she looked like in great pain

    RIP MICHAEL JACKSON



  16. 116

    Janet is a truly beautiful person, and I wish her and her family love and compassion.

    I find it comforting to see that the posts with heartfelt wishes and prayers finally outnumber the negative. God save us from the anger of the self-proclaimed righteous.



  17. 117

    Perez I wish you would've gotten the longer video, with the "I'll Be There" tribute they sang right after her speech… THAT'S what made me cry my eyes out!!



  18. 118

    Re: free101britney – u are so right , that's how his father should of express himself instead of promoting some dumb job .



  19. 119

    RIP Mike

    On a separate point, Janet's finally starting to look mature-aged, and hefty. She should stay with some extra poundage on her, enough with that yo-yo dieting shit



  20. 120

    made me cry



  21. 121

    i thought she was real brave for coming to the awards and showing love to all the fans of MJ and i also thought that Michael deserved more in life , he was a great humanitarian and helped the poverty of the world , may he now rest in peace . my prayers go to his children and all the Jackson family .RIP MJ .

    So sad…omg



  23. 123

    it seems a little fake, no?



  24. 124

    = ( QUE TRIZTE!!!



  25. 125

    OMG she looked so sad. I wish you would have posted the whole thing. I'll Be There was Amazing I mean Jamie Foxx…dang he did good. I love that song too. So SAD RIP MJ!



  26. 126

    Gosh, this breaks my heart so much :(



  27. 127

    Re: kellyy0 – AGAIN people the death was not confirmed until later in the day. I am in the same Time Zone when I checked Perezs site the message was already changed that was at 3pm CNN didn't even confirm until around 4 so shut up already. He did not know when he wrote that okay. Sorry, but the times speak for themselves.



  28. 128

    I WILL NEVER EVER FORGIVE YOU PEREZ FOR THE WAY YOU HANDLED THE DEATH OF MICHAEL JACKSON. END.



  29. 129

    Janet is a beautiful, beautiful girl. I think it was very classy of her to make that statement, not to mention brave. Janet ROCKS!



  30. 130

    I just still can't believe it. He was my childhood idol! It's just…unbelievable.

    Can't stop listening to Def Leppard's Deliver me right now…



  31. 131

    we love you , jackson family.
    may god bless you and give you support during this hard time.
    rest in peace michael
    you will never be forgotten



  32. 132

    ah it broke my heart seeing her. ;( i cried.



  33. 133

    About what Perez posted when MJ collapsed:
    I think we all know Perez's style by now. Very snarky and tries to be funny. The problem is, this time something serious had happened. Perez did not stop to think "Maybe this is real, not a publicity stunt."
    Perez could have waited before posting that shit. He could have been more sensitive. IMO, Perez USED to be a nice guy at heart. Now, he's turning into an asshole like most celebs. He's posting tabloids stuff like it's fact. If he doesn't shape up, I won't ever come back here again.
    Before Perez was a hypocrite with a heart. Now he's just plain heartless.



  34. 134

    i'm in tears.



  35. 135

    Heartbreaking :(



  36. 136

    Good actress…
    She should care earlier!!!



  37. 137

    i still can't believe that michael jackson is dead :(

    i have set the dvr to record the next airing of the awards which is think is tomorrow. i wasn't home when they were on tonight. i'm sure i will bawl like a baby.



  38. 138

    THIS IS ALL SO UNBELIEVABLE. MICHAEL JACKSON. THE SOUNDTRACK OF MY LIFE. NO JOKES THIS TIME. THIS IS ALL TOO MUCH. JAZZ OUT.



  39. 139

    Poor thing. You can see how distraught she is. Her and Michael were so close. My heart goes out to the Jackson family, except for Joe Jackson because he is a dick.



  40. 140

    janet, you will be fine, i think you should do the 50 concerts for your brother in london. that would be awesome.



  41. 141

    Re: porcelain
    A lil fake? wtf? you can tell she's barely holding herself together. if you want to see fake take a look at father of the year joe.
    as as sister who lost her brother, i couldnt even talk to anyone for a month so for her to do this after just a few days.., i can't imagine the strrenth it took for her to just walk accross that stange much less talk without breaking down im sending my thought to Janet and I hope she gets mikes kids



  42. 142

    Love Janet…She's really brave



  43. 143

    Re: Kylian – okay u really need to chill hahaha f*** off perezhilton.com if u hate him so much



  44. 144

    very sad ,but all those people are hipocrite.they said crap things about MJ all over this last years and now he is the best thing???shut up.u guys are silly.i always liked his music but i didnt like him as a person ,i respect him as an artist like he was in the 80s and 90s.im sad cause we are losing our legends,and the only two left are madonna and sir paul.lets respect them when they are alive.cause when they day they will be larger then live.madonna will do a tribute to MJ in sepetember in LA .a memorial concert.this one wasnt his concert.



  45. 145

    janet only arrived in LA sunday and his brother dai in thrusday.hummm.la toya was there



  46. 146

    Really,Mario?you really expect everybody to forgive your nasty,vile,parasitic ass yet again?



  47. 147

    My prayers go out to her and her family I lost a brother 15 yrs ago I know what she going through God bless



  48. 148

    this is a little fake to me.they never cared about him.never.he was the freakuy od the family.and people said crap things about him all those years.people only respect the others when they die.its hipocrite.now we have maadonna and sir paul and when they left us they will be respct too.they should be respectfull in live.they deserve.MJ career was over since 95 and madonna still has a career imagine when she dies.the world just stops.she did so much for her ,for women.for all.mj did sothing but he dwasnt strong enought to be there.i feel sorry for his kids not for his family.they didnt care



  49. 149

    god bless u MICHEAL GOD BLESS U MADONNA,GOD BLESS U PAUL.LONG LIVE THE LEGENDS CAUSE THEY ARE IMMORTAL.ALL THE REST DOESNT MATTERTHEY ARE EMPTY



  50. 150

    Re: Mickey9661 – about if molested those boys .well it matters as him as a person but we are only celebrate him as an artist.cause as a persn he was strange and its not because he is death that didnt molested those kids



  51. 151

    people are really hipocrite and now u see that only legends are like that.new artists are empty.madonna and MJ 4ever.strong people,.



  52. 152

    That was brave of Janet to do that so close to Michaels death. Let's leave the Jackson family alone… they have been through alot.



  53. 153

    POOR JANET. SHE LOOKS VERY DEPRESSED BUT SHE IS EXTREMEMLY BEAUTIFUL AND IM GLAD SHE WAS BRAVE ENOUGH TO SPEAK OUT TO EVERYONE.



  54. 154

    RIP Michael… Janet was there because she actually mourns her brother… his father is a friggen joke who only wanted an opportunity to show his face… his interview was disgusting all he could say about his flesh and blood son was that "the world lost an icon…" he's a despicable old man…



  55. 155

    Put this hypocrite, souless, joke of a man out of business. Now. Come back to check months from now or wait to hear the news of his fall. As long as we come back to see if he has less hits or less advertising we are actually helping this site out. A man is dead. A man who had faults but also had so many wonderful strong points. Who of us is perfect? Who of us is God? None. But we can shut Perezhilton.com down. Now, tonight. Do it please. Do it in memory of Michael, do it out of respect for Will I Am, do it for Jennifer Anniston or whomever else this loser has belittled and preyed upon for self gain. Remember he is just a fat wannabe nobody. He doesn't deserve the rewards he reaps from this site. Give someone else a chance. Let's make a change.



  56. 156

    Half of my comment is gone??? I said that this is the only site that reported that the kids were not biologically Michaels. I am an adoptive parent and my son is my son. He could no more be my son if I had given birth to him. I don't think that Perez should be let off this easy. We need to end the madness now. Stop coming to this site. There are so many others with much more integrity and less hypocracy.



  57. 157

    Re: Tori__baby – As you said "when my sister died I couldn't talk to anyone for a month" I was the same when my mother died..So if Janet Jackson is prepared to get up on stage in front of people to talk about her brother after 3 days - to me that means she's not as bothered about his death as most of his fans are..



  58. 158

    it's a nightmare we're living
    I haven't slept and ate for days now
    can't stop crying

    perez, still waiting for apology.



  59. 159

    So sad :( R.I.P MJ

    Re: mimi28 – BORING… MOVE ON……



  61. 161

    Why was that a surprise then?



  62. 162

    Re: TheQueenBee – For God's sake hurry up and forget it's becoming soooooooooooooooo effing BORING repeating PH's earlier comments - it's probably only what the rest of the worlds media were thinking anyway..



  63. 163

    Re: realtimez – nice undies!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o )



  64. 164

    MJ career was over since 95 but his musics are always present.madonna is the live legend now.madonna and mj are strong,they are true legends.



  65. 165

    madonna changed the music history just like mj did.but mj didnt last long.-take care madonna.u are the legend.mj loved u and u loved him too.madonna at 50 kics you g star ass like mj did



  66. 166

    ♥♥♥Moon♥♥♥



  67. 167

    poor janet shes devastated

    michael will live on forever



  68. 168

    It must be so hard for them to be not able to mourn in peace but in public. That for they are a really brave and strong family and I wish them and the children strength and peace.
    Especially the kids have to suffer so much after Debbie Rowes statement! This bitch should be quiet! Nobody wants to know if the kids are his or not yet! Now the kids have to get every support they can get. Losing their father who isn't their father must be so hard and devastating. No it's like they have no family! I hope they will never hear about that or just don't care!
    R.I.P. MJ



  69. 169

    At least Janet did this tastefully…Quite unlike their piece of shit father!!! What GOOD Father attends an awards show a few days after his son dies?! He even walked the red carpet, then sat in the audience?! Unbelievable! Way to try to get the last little bit of money/fame you could, Joe!!! May Michael Rest In Peace, far, far away from his Father!!!



  70. 170

    Re: Narcoleptic_Sleep_Around – #185….i hear ya…. WTF was that….. Joe Jackson is a asswipe………….!!!!



  71. 171

    Re: nayfin – Attention !! try getting your facts right… Jordan Chandler has done nothing of the sort this has turned up on a blog and is completely unfounded - It was most likely posted by another lunatic MJ fan like you and all the others - No proof whatsoever- he's not listed as speaking to a newspaper or a reporter or a magazine or a news programme.. as I said completely fabricated…God you people will believe anything when it comes to MJ - except the truth it seems…



  72. 172

    sooooo sad
    RIP MICHAEL
    we never forget you



  73. 173

    Thank goodness some real emotion from someone from hsi family. His dad is a douche.



  74. 174

    Such heartbreak. Janet so strong.

    Does anyone remember MJ's song 'Heartbreak Hotel'? It was so great.



  75. 175

    Poor Janet– she looked so pained. It was extremely brave of her to get up there like that. I can't imagine having to grieve for the los of a loved on while the entire world is grieving also. Has to be so hard for them right now.

    RIP Michael!



  76. 176

    I feel so incredibly sad for her and the rest of Michaels family. It's so sad, the whole situation. She was very brave to speak about him..
    R.I.P MJ :'(



  77. 177

    Oh crap! It was late and I was tired - my earlier post I mentioned Tom Hanks - I meant John Travolta! Sorry!



  78. 178

    Wake up Mario….you ratbastard!!!!!!!!!



  79. 179

    aww thats so sad.. R.I.P. Michael! Legend!



  80. 180

    That was incredible brave and ballsy of Janet. The pain in her face is visible; its heartbreaking….



  81. 181

    tear. I was disappointed in the BET awards so I turned it off after the first 30 minutes.

    That was nice of her to be there, being it so soon after his death:( love janet



  82. 182

    That is so amazing that she was able to thank everyone and show her family's appreciation like that. If only her father could learn to be as compassionate and loving as she is.



  83. 183

    :( r.i.p



  84. 184

    she's just as much of a fuckin' wack job - look at those eyes, total squirrel



  85. 185

    apologize for what you said, Perez! Be a man!



  86. 186

    Re: iambored – Please shut the hell up. Get over it already. Perez says this type of shit all the time. GET OVER IT, you fucking loser,

    Reading these comments, I guess I am the only one (or one of the only few) who feels like there is something not right about this. I'm not dissing Janet I just don't think this seems right……… not just the fact that she was there but that the emotion doesnt seem genuine to me. that said i feel very bad for her since she lost her brother.

  88. O_Ren says – reply to this


    188

    It is a surprise Perez!!! After all Mike was faking it as you put it now he is dead!



  89. 189

    My heart break for her. You can tell she really loves her brother. That father suck big time. That man can not have an ounce of love in his heart for his children. Thank you Perez for putting that up. May this family find the peace to get over this heart breaking tragedy.

    I have to admit… I was a little shocked to see Joe Jackson as first smiling and "enjoying" the attention, but now after I see Janet I can see that the music industry defines the Jackson family and that it was appropriate for them to be there. I think Janets words were heartfelt and I respect the Jackson family for reaching out to the fans and the public and letting us grieve with them during this difficult time.



  91. 191

    I give you props Janet! Praying for the Jackson family :)



  92. 192

    Did everyone forget he is a pedophile? It's funny that because he was talented musically that everyone has forgiven him and mourns him. It's the same for Roman Poanski. There are a whole a lot of people in Hollywood would love to work with him even though he had sex with a 13-year old girl. They even gave him a life time achievement award. I wish I was famous so that ethics, morals, and the law don't apply to me.



  93. 193

    aww this made me cry!! that must have been so hard for her! people forget it was her brother!!
    i couldnt have done that in her situation!
    rip michael, ur a true legend!!



  94. 194

    that was so brave and beautiful for her to go out of her way to do that for us all. my prayers are with the family, friends and all of us as fans. i have one brother, and couldnt imagine the pain that i would feel from losing him, and i hope that i dont have to feel that anytime soon, so i know she is a strong woman to come to an awards show and speak of a wound that is so freah in all our hearts.

    R.I.P Michael, u will never be forgotten!



  95. 195

    I thought Janet did a nice thing. It's pretty normal for a family to give a statement, especially when stars are involved. I guess it's just a nice way to thank everyone for their support.

    What I don't get is her father. Pimping his record label at the same event, that's just horrible!

    Re: Long Dong Connery – morning dong….



  97. 197

    Re: Long Dong Connery – i replied to a couple of ur messages from yesterday…sorry it took so long to get back at ya…lol



  98. 198

    It's always sad to hear of someone passing but why is everyone forgetting about the fact that he was a PEDOPHILE!!! He was not a hero to those poor innocent boys he molested!!!

    BET should be banned from EVER coming back on the air again. That "so called tribute" that they paid to Michael Jackson was painful and appauling. It's okay to be caught by surprise and not ready to go on the air with something new, but have some pride if you can't do a tribute right don't do it at all. I tell you if I were a member of the Jackson family I would have walked out of that tacky-backyard-barbeque mess!! In my opinion Jamie Foxx was the worst of all how disrespectful to someone's career memory can you be than look like a bafoon in mockery. I was ashamed and turn the TV off it was just that painful, not to memory, but PAINFUL to watch. Shame on BET for just wanting to be the first to get those rating dollars!!!



  100. 200

    Wow, where there is smoke there is fire people. Doesn't anyone remember???? What about the three white kids he bought? Covered with masks and blankets??? Dangled from balconies. Where these kids educated???? Now Joe gets a second shot yto mess up some white kids.
    I remember!!
