Just How Much Are The Jacksons Getting Paid For Their Interviews?
Posted on Tue Jul 14, 2009 09:35 AM PDT
Last Thursday Michael Jackson's sister LaToya sat down and chatted with London's Daily Mail for 4 hours, and CNN has confirmed that the singer/plastic surgery aficionado was (gasp!) paid for the interview!
LaToya told the London newspaper she suspected her brother was "murdered" in a conspiracy by "a shadowy entourage," among other things. While we're glad that LaToya is sharing her point of view with the world, doesn't it seem kinda wrong that she's profiting off of her brother's death? And she's not the only one!
While LaToya's compensation has not been revealed, X17online can confirm that ABC paid around $200,000 in "licensing fees" for previously shot video of Joe and Katherine Jackson right before ABC News correspondent Chris Connelly sat down with Joe for an interview. As you may recall, this is the interview in which Joe hinted that Jackson's children might be following in the footsteps of their father and entering showbusiness...
Do you think the Jacksons should be getting paid for their interviews? We think they should donate the money to charity or add it to Prince, Paris and Blanket's trust funds!
Are the Jacksons getting greedy?
