The four remaining Jackson brothers  Jermaine, Marlon, Tito, and Jackie attended the premiere . CNN's Larry King called in to inquire about how the show was doing . Jermaine told King, " It's doing great Larry you should be here, Why aren't you here ? "  Larry replied, " I would but I'm doing my show. You know, I gotta work ."  A puzzled Jermaine thought for a minute then asked his brothers Tito, Marlon, and Jackie  " What does that word "Work" mean anyway ? "   One of the Jackson Brothers mumbled, " I'm sure I don't know but it was good Michael passed when he did because i was flat broke until now .

With great anticipation i tuned into the latest installment of  " Larry King Live " at Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch . Miko Brando , sporting his ugliest Hawaii print shirt to date, took us on a tour of the now empty main house . We saw many wooden floors, plaster walls, and a banister with a tree carved in it !  He also pointed out a stairway leading up to bedroom where Michael would commit unspeakable acts against young teenage boys . In the bathroom was a secret closet with many locks on it . Miko said it was Jackson's panic room, " Just in case . " ( of a police raid ? )  From there Brando took us to see the Station House that was also stripped to the bone . The highlight of that tour was a large soot stain on a brick overpass the choo-choo train had made . Miko also showed us the dance floor where Michael practiced . He pointed to the center of the wooden floor that looked worn out . (  maybe the cleaning lady just happened to miss a spot with her mop ? )..... Back in the garden, Fish-Faced Larry interviewed Jermaine in what appeared to be extreamly  uncomfortable for the grieving Jackson brother . Jermaine denied any rumors about Michael's strange and kinky behavior . Sweating profusely, tugging at his ear, pinching his nose , and swatting flies and mosquitoes,  Jermaine begged Larry to stop asking so many difficult questions .  " Jermaine, what do you think of Diana Sands being mentioned as the legal guardian in Michael's will ? " A confused Jackson looked dumbfounded ..............  Jermaine also showed Larry a tree that Michael had once climbed and supposedly wrote songs on . King sacastically told Jackson , " Don't Kill Yourself  now ."  Another comment King made earlier to Jermaine was, " You call it Neverland and I call it never, never, never land "  i wonder what he meant by that ?...................................................................... to be continued ...............................................................(kascha & whitney)
