Michael Jackson’s music documentary, This Is It, is being called the entertainment event of the year. The documentary features footage from the rehearsals from the This Is It tour. The shows were to take place in London before he died. Last week, it was speculated that Michael’s children would be a part of the Jackson family reality show, but those plans have been scrapped. The Jackson family reality show, The Jackson Family Dynasty, will debut on the A&E Network in December. The show will star the Jackson brothers: Jermaine, Jackie, Marlon and Tito.

Speaking of Jermaine, he’s being put on blast by his ex-wife, Alejandra. Alejandra says Jermaine is not paying child support for his two children by her, despite the fact that he is now dating a very wealthy woman. Alejandra says she has to survive on money that his mom, Katherine, gives her. Alejandra says Jermaine owes her close to $36,000. She also has two kids by Jermaine’s younger brother Randy.

Bishop Thomas Weeks has found his new soul mate. Last weekend, Weeks married Prophetess Christina Glenn. Weeks made headlines during his previous marriage to Prophetess Juanita Bynum.

Weeks was charged as a first time offender. He got three years probation and served 200 hours community service and took anger management classes. His latest wedding was low key, and his church members served as guests.

Khloe Kardashian gets nothing! She may be married to Lakers Star Lamar Odom, but if they break up, she is on her own. Khloe’s mom, Kris Jenner, tried her hand at tough negotiations for her daughter. In the end, it didn’t work, and she was no competition for Odom’s lawyers. Kris tried to get a clause that included $6,000 for shopping and beauty, luxury cars every year, a $6 million house, $25,000 a month salary and courtside Lakers seats for the entire Kardashian clan. Khloe was so desperate to be married and have a husband that she dropped her demands. If they break up, there will be no alimony, no cars, no house and Odom will get to keep his $50 million fortune. Khloe might want to have a baby soon.

I had a chance to see the new Lee Daniels’ movie Precious. It was awesome. This has to be one of the best movies I have ever seen, and I think it is Daniels’ best work. The movie stars newcomer Gabourey “Gabby” Sidibe (Ga-bo-ray Sa-dee-Bay) as the 16-year old girl who suffers unspeakable abuse. She is amazing. In real life, she is a 26-year old student, and Precious is her first acting gig. Daniels admits he found a gem in Sidibe. Mo’Nique is off the hook. She makes the character “Mary Jones” come alive. She’s brutal, honest and raw. There are so many great performances from Paula Patton, Sherri Shepherd, Mariah Carey (You won’t recognize her) and Lenny Kravitz. The movie opens nationwide November 13th.
