So - last night on the CNBC program 'The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch', the following guests appeared: Diane Dimond, Stacy Brown, Michelle Caruso, Brian Oxman.
They discussed Jermaine's book proposal which contained all those explosive allegations about MJ, and Jermaine's subsequent appearance on Larry King Live, where he denied making the statements. Stacey Brown then revealed he has all of Jermaine's statements on audiotape, plus there's a paper trail to document his and Jermaine's shopping the book proposal to various publishers. Stacey has retained attorney Mel Sachs to pursue a slander suit against Jermaine for calling Stacey a liar.

Here's a couple juicy quotes, just to show you it's totally worth going to read:
BRIAN OXMAN: ...[/size]these aren't Jermaine's words, these are Stacy Brown's creation and fiction and really imagination.
Mr. BROWN: Well, Brian, it's--it's amazing that you would take that position when you came to me at Neverland and said to me, and I quote, that, "If I were paid any money that the Jacksons owed me, I would never have to work again."
And this bombshell:
Ms. DIMOND: ...I believe Michael Jackson is in London right now. Last I heard he was holed up at the Dorchester Hotel. ...I -- I have very, very good sources, very close to the family and other places. I also understand that all of his bodyguards have now quit. Michael Jackson is wandering around, I think, trying to figure out where--where to go next with the nanny of his children, a woman named Grace, and his three children. No bodyguards, no entourage, no makeup or hair people, not--nothing. Just him.

I guess the funds really have begun drying up. No bodyguards! No entourage!
And, of course, his f'loons are going positively *nuts*.
