^^ I completely agree.
Apparently, the Jackson family had their own photographer at Forest Lawn. The photos are online, I saw them on KOP. So it's good that MJ3 weren't there.
And that's why I "think" Randy was working so hard on getting Michael's children to attend. I mean, surely pictures such as these would have garnered way more attention and MONEY had Michael's three children been involved in this memorial.
I'm also glad they were not there. They are not objects that should be put on display for someones personal gain and/or to elevate one's non-existent status!
I don't like Marc Schaffel in the picture AT ALL; and Debbie being around him I don't like either. And they both are in Katherine's good side....well Katherine on the Dateline interview mentioned Debbie, she didn't mention Schaffel. However, it's obvious then and it's very obvious now why Schaffel has been around Debbie...because through her (being the biological mother os MJ's 2 oldest kids) he can worm his way into the Jackson family by means of appealing to the easiest one (in this case, Katherine). He's all about making money from this association. The idea of him being around MJ's kids and mother gives me the shudders. And I'm back and forth with Debbie. While I believe she has a level of decency in her, the fact she's hanging with this opportunistic vulture has me questioning her motives at times. I hope her motives are genuine for the sake of MJ's kids AND for his beloved mother Katherine. The poor woman is going through enough; she doesn't need to be lured into a web of deceit which would cause her and her grandkids more stress and grief.The fact that Schaffel is around Mrs. Jackson is disturbing. But, I think the problem may have been that when her agenda was the well being of her grandchildren and mourning her son, which is what she very well should have been focused on, she was also getting sideswiped with all these other agendas (ex. contesting the will, having Michael buried at Neverland, etc). Whether those other agendas were important/right or not, at some point she determined that that was not her agenda. So, in walk Rowe and Schaffel "on the same page" as Mrs. Jackson ("concern" about the children). Of course it would be easy for them to get her ear. It would have been so much harder to get to her and latch on to her if perhaps some others would have put their agendas on hold and held on to hers a little tighter.
I'm going to state what I feel as long ad Debbie doesn't get rid of that creep she shouldn't be in touch with Michael's children period. She wasn't there this past decade so a year or few months whatever time she needs to get rid of that guy doesn't change a thing either. I hate the fact that Shaffel is sliming his way through Katherine and I don't get how she is even falling for it. She was at the trial each and every day she should know who he is and what he stands for. As for Debbie as long as she's associated with him she's dubious period.I don't know what's up with Debbie and Schaffel, it "almost" appears, to ME, like they're DATING. I know that she's single, but what's his "situation?" I mean, they appear to be attached at the hip. I wonder how Debbie's OTHER friends feel about Schaffel.
As far as Joe Jackson goes, I'm not sure about him being taken advantage of. In my opinion, it's HIM who is bringing most of these shady folks into Ms. Katherine's circle, because he so BADLY wants to recapture the Jackon Five days, when the name "Joe Jackson" actually meant something respectable to folks, a time when folks held him in high regard and of course the money that came with ALL of that.
And if Randy has legitimate concerns, then he should address them to the proper people and stop taking his battle to Twitter, because, in my opinion, all it does is cause more confusion. I suggest LESS meetings with Leonard Rowe, regarding what he deems a "fake" will and concentrate on the vital matters at hand, which effect his 80+ year old parents. Along with his parents, he needs to repair his relationship with his children. To ME, those two things are vital, everything else doesn't really matter at this point!
Ur absolutely right, Steven was trying so hard b/c of that even his bald head is aware of this ain't no one's gonna pay enough money to see him and his siblings with his sister hanging on his arm. This memorial was a self promotion orchestrated by Steven. I'm glad for Katherine to put her foot down and 3T to take them outta town.And that's why I "think" Randy was working so hard on getting Michael's children to attend.

I haven't seen the pics yet but the way all of them appeared there, everything was planned by yours truly. Everything. You know nothing is sacred, nothing is holy, there is no dignity that's what some of that family lack. This is exactly why Michael kept away and went to OTHER families to have a sense of what family is go figure. You have a guy with a dozens of siblings yet he feels the need to get involved with strangers and their families to get a feeling of what family means. He kept himself and his kids away for a reason. And that reason is being proven over and over again since last June. Michael was a wise man.There are a lot of photos from inside the Mausoleum now. Starring Randy, Janet and Jermaine. I'm really upset and disappointed. No doubt at all in my mind that it was all just PR for them. Thank god, PPB were far away with 3T.

I've seen the pictures taken inside the Mauseleum and I have to say I am truly surprised. Is'nt this supposed to be a private thing? why the need to release the photos? was that the reason why there was this urgency to have Michael's kids there? Michael kids = more money for the pics?
I'm most certain that it was due to them and their effort that Michael's kids were spared this. A shame when u see his nephews (3T) act in a more dignified manner than his own siblings, but then again Steven has always been something else from the time he went beating up Gina Spargue till now.^^ I agree...
It's really sad to witness..I'm glad that 3T were able to keep them away from all this..
It's sad that they are not all united, they all have their own agendas it seems..
I'm not name calling anyone I'm observing facts his head is shaved off hence bald. Now it's a crime to call a bald headed guy bald and a long haired guy long haired?God you have such a way with words SMDH. You make a good point but whats with the name calling? sounds very childish to me. you could have just said it like this:
I think the media will still be interested in the pics though sadly, just because they are inside the mausoleum.

I'm not going to sugar coat any of their actions and desperate PR attempts if u feel the need go ahead, if that's what makes u happy
I tried about 22 hours ago via mobile web
Sorry Big Bro, for not getting ur children there on the anniversary of ur last day about 22 hours ago via mobile web

As crazy as it might sound I was actully waiting for Randy to tweet and b*tch about something from the family memorial on friday. That wouldn't have surprised me at all!
This made me feel sick. Kids obviously didn't want to attend any of the memorials, not the one in Forest Lawn nor the one in Gary, Indiana. They obviously wanted to have a-get-away and went on vacation to Hawaii. In my opinion excellent choice :yes:
According to Randy's tweets he really tried to get them to Forest Lawn, when at the same time according to Jermaine (in Larry Kings interview) kids don't even visit Forest Lawn that often. I could imagine if and when they would want to go to see their father it would happen on a normal day without tons of people and cameras outside the Forest Lawn. So why on earth would Randy want to drag them there on a day of Michael's anniversary? Unless he wants his 15mins of fame by exploiting the kids
Remember when the kids appeared on the Grammy's with 3T to take the award on behalf of their daddy, cry baby cried again claiming no one of his family was invited, this time on the eve of Michael's first anniversary he showed what kind of person he is again, when he tweeted about Mj's kids not being there, one would think that u'd cut the crap at least for a day but not Steven. Thanks God Michaels children where safe and sound with Tito's sons back in January and now.err randy is vile. just when u think he cant come out with any more crap he does. hes sorry he couldnt get them there so he could get a pay out. if this doestn show his intentions and feelings towards those kids nothing will
