So should we play a game "Who's not telling the truth?" 
As we know, it's been known that Raymone answered to some of fan mail and she denied rumors about J5 taking part in New Year celebration party. Plus, I like the idea of some fan pointing out the name of J5. Can they even perform with that name? Cause when they left Motown, Berry Gordy kept the name so group needed to recall themself as The Jacksons. That's a good thing to think about :huh:
News:
JACKSON 5 TO REUNITE FOR DUPRI'S NYE PARTY
THE JACKSON 5 will make their highly-anticipated comeback at a New Year's Eve party hosted by JERMAINE DUPRI, according to the hip-hop mogul himself.
The ABC hitmakers are reportedly planning to embark on a reunion tour in 2008, complete with superstar Michael Jackson.
But Dupri - who is dating Janet Jackson - insists the group's first performance together since their official split in 1990 will be at his New Year celebrations in his Studio 72 club in Atlanta, Georgia.
He says, "It's the Jackson 5 Party. I swear to you, it's going to be the biggest party this town has ever seen." And Dupri insists the pop reunion will not be the only highlight of the night.
He adds, "At midnight I'm gonna empty the whole club and put everyone in the parking lot and I'm going to light the lot up with a fireworks show."

RETURNING: Michael Jackson on cover of Ebony
Pop star Michael Jackson has resurfaced. He has returned to the recording studio. And in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Thriller, he gazes placidly from the December cover of Ebony magazine.
When the world last had a long, hard look at Jackson more than two years ago, he was on trial for child molestation. He would shuffle into court wearing suits that looked like they had been lifted from Sgt. Pepper, militaristic armbands and medallions and, on one day, pajamas. After he was acquitted he disappeared to the Middle East.
But he has been transformed in Ebony.
He is wearing white tails and a plain white shirt. A gold mesh bow tie hangs, undone, around his neck, and a large diamond-and-white-gold floral brooch serves as a million-dollar boutonniere.
The photographs inside are even more compelling. In one, Jackson is wearing silver metallic jeans, silver reptile cowboy booties, a long black iridescent frock coat, copious diamonds on his lapel and a black top hat, the brim of which he is tugging down over one eye. The photograph is graceful and dynamic. But what is most fascinating is that Jackson looks like himself - that hair, that face, that dancer’s body, that flamboyant style - but he also looks like a grown-up.
There is no attempt, either in the images or in the accompanying story, to address his financial situation or to backtrack over his legal problems or curious proclivities. That is not Ebony’s style. Instead, it is purely a celebration of the performer, the fact that Thriller has sold more than 100 million copies and that some version of a Jackson song - a sample, a remake, a Jackson 5 ditty - probably is on every iPod in the world.
The photos, by Matthew Rolston, were taken at the Brooklyn Museum about two months ago, after about eight months of negotiations with Jackson’s people about everything from timing to who would do his hair. (His personal hairstylist did.)
It was Jackson who proposed the location. He wanted to be in the company of art, says Harriette Cole, Ebony’s creative director.
At the heart of the shoot was a singular question: “What does a mature icon look like?”
Cole and her colleagues have been asking that same question as it relates to the magazine. Since the death of its founder, John H. Johnson, in 2005, Ebony has been in a process of reinvention.
Founded in 1945, Ebony became a dominant voice among African Americans. But it also became staid. It indulged in the gushing profiles that are the lifeblood of so many magazines but focused on aging celebrities who had little relevance to younger readers. Mostly, Ebony lacked a lively editorial voice. It rarely even photographed its own covers, instead using the sort of stock images that might be distributed by a fan club.
Cole, an author and veteran of the magazine industry, arrived last January. Ebony, with a circulation of 1.45 million, bore the burden of its significant history. “Ebony is the largest black magazine in the world. But it’s also a general-interest magazine. You have grandmothers, mothers, daughters and granddaughters - how do you appeal to four generations at one time?”
Ebony’s changes have been more than aesthetic. The past has not been completely dismissed, it simply is being placed in the context of the present day.
The first cover Cole worked on was of Barack and Michelle Obama. “We wanted to create a presidential image. It wasn’t meant to be flashy. It was to be iconic - American and iconic.” An April cover story featured Harry Belafonte, 80, and Common, 35. On the inside pages, the two talk politics.

2004 - It was made public that Michael Jackson's attorneys had filed a motion (on December 10) to dismiss the child molestation charges against Jackson on the grounds of "vindictive prosecution and outrageous government conduct."
2004 - Deputy District Attorney Gerald Franklin filed a paper that suggested Michael Jackson had a "propensity" for committing similiar crimes. The prosecutor was seeking to introduce evidence of 'prior sexual offenses'.
