The nefarious Joe Jackson might be at work for his new label if the rumor mill has any truth in it. The word is Joe Jackson, the man that orchestrated the success of the Jackson 5, may be attempting to do the Jackson 3 with Michael’s kids. Prince Michael I, 12, Paris, 11, and seven-year-old Prince Michael II are reportedly lined up to perform a series of concerts next year. Ian Halperin said: “Joe wants the children to go on a world tour in 2010. He has already offered recording contracts to two of Michael’s kids. Now he is talking about getting them the world’s best backing band and taking them on tour as The Jackson Three.” The rest of the family is trying to stop Joe from this, according to The Sun, a UK paper.
50 CENT WANTS HIS SPOT BACK!
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson slipped to the number four spot on the Forbes’ Hip-Hop Cash Kings List this year, but he is trying to get his spot back. In fact, he’s promised to get back.
“I’m on deck. I’m loaded. Call me ‘four’ this year, and then you call me ‘one’ next year, because I’m really preparing for my cycle.”
50 kept it all in perspective.
“What kind of person would be upset at what position they fall when they’re on the Forbes list. That person would be a complete idiot.
[Thanks]
CAN’T TELL…
A certain rapper is attempting to drop their new album, but the leaks in the camp are astoundingly bad. Said rapper has had to pay off mercenaries in order for them not to leak the new music for this much-delayed album.
AKON IS THE FATHER!
Akon is a father, tmz reports. The woman claims she has been chasing Akon all over to get him to know, but the singer says that isn’t true. The child is 6-months old. Here is a statement:
“Akon has taken responsibility and has been extremely cooperative and proactive in handling this private matter. Paternity was only established just over 30 days ago. Since the case was filed outside of Georgia jurisdiction, where he is a legal resident, Akon is currently in the process of engaging counsel in California and will continue to handle this matter in a timely manner.”
In other Akon rumors, it would appear that some drama is on the horizon for the African prince. Hopefully this won’t come to life.

Check out what Nia Long had to say about…somebody.
“I didn’t see ‘Obsessed,’ so I can’t comment, but it’s just not about how talented you are anymore. It’s about, ‘How much box-office revenue will this person generate?’ When you see certain people – we won’t name names – they just don’t have the skill, and no one in their team has said, ‘You need acting classes’…“If you take time to develop your craft, God bless you. Jamie Foxx is an example of both [actor and singer].”Shots fired?
