Yes, there will be another one!!
Jermaine Jackson is was planning a Happy Birthday Michael Jackson televised tribute later this month, yet failed to get it organized in time.
We’re sure this is just an excuse to revive his flailing musical career as he’s set to perform a duet with an unlikely partner, Larry King‘s wife, Shawn.
WTF?!
“We wanted to make sure that everyone [who] wanted to be there could be there,” Shawn explained about the memorial not happening as planned.
The tribute was scheduled for August 29th in front of a 250,000 crowd in Vienna, but supposedly they couldn’t line up enough talent, sponsors or broadcasters.
Shocker!
Since the date as been pushed back one month, Shawn’s spokesman, Howard Rubenstein confirmed Usher, Lionel Richie and Whitney Houston will perform.
Yet, Houston’s rep denies the claim!
The original promotional materials, which were looking for sponsors willing to pay up to $3 million, listed confirmed talent such as President Obama, Al Pacino, Madonna, Colin Powell and Richard Branson.
White House sources and Madonna’s rep both confirmed that neither party will be in attendance!
We’re seeing a pattern here!
Shawn and Jermaine plan to sing their duet, “Will You Be There,” and release a CD from the event!
We sure it’s all for the $$$$$ memories!!!
