Legal Fight Brewing in Jackson House
Legal Fight Brewing in Jackson House
Originally posted Jun 4th 2010 10:30 AM PDT by TMZ Staff
TMZ has learned four of Katherine Jackson's grandchildren will be moving from her house this month, and the mother of the kids has lawyered up for a fight.
TMZ broke the story ... Katherine told Alejandra Jackson -- who had been living at the Jackson family compound in Encino with her kids, Jaafar, Jermajesty, Donte and Randy, Jr. -- that her brood had to move out, because Katherine had her hands full just watching over Michael Jackson's 3 kids.
Katherine is allowing Alejandra and her kids to move into a nearby condo owned by the Jackson family, but Alejandra is pissed. Katherine is in Indiana until June 10. We're told when Katherine comes back, Alejandra has to move.
But it's not going to be that easy. We've learned Alejandra has hired Trope & Trope, a powerful law firm, to negotiate a separation agreement of sorts. We're told Alejandra wants some assurance that her family will be financially protected if she moves. As a result, she may challenge the move or negotiate a separation package -- which would include a place where she and her kids will live (not necessarily the condo) and what financial support she gets.
Alejandra has gone after Jermaine in the past for failing to pay child support -- and now that she's being forced to move, the money battle has been reignited. Jermaine is the father of two of the kids and Randy is the father of the other two children.
Katherine asked Alejandra to move after the stun gun incident. TMZ broke the story that Jaafar ordered a stun gun online and was playing with it at the house -- something that triggered an investigation by the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services.

Trope:(1) A figure of speech. (2) A rhetorical device that produces a shift in the meanings of words--in contrast to a scheme, which changes only the shape of a phrase.

World Of Warcraft uses some tropes so much, they continue into the next world.
I'm aware it's a cliche
I am aware I'm being stupid, I'm aware of that but hey
This is just something that I gotta do...

Generally, there's a progression as a trope ages. First it is born. Once it's become established enough, parodies and subversions start to crop up. Through overuse, it eventually becomes a Discredited Trope. Finally, subverting it has become so common that the non-straight examples are themselves straight examples of new tropes, making it a Dead Horse Trope. It might even become a Forgotten Trope, although not all tropes fall this far.
Sometimes, however, tropes just don't want to die, and the progression skips a step. Subversions are common enough to be their own tropes, yet the original trope is still in active use and isn't even (universally — opinions vary) seen as cliched or corny. It would be a Dead Horse Trope, except it isn't actually dead. It's Undead.
Some tropes that reach this state eventually ascend into Omnipresent Tropes, ones that are more like the building blocks of a story which would severely limit writers' options if they were taken off the market.
Compare and contrast Cyclic Trope; contrast Dead Unicorn Trope.
Examples of tropes that haven't quite been killed off:
* Agony Beam
* Broken Heel: Along with its countless variations.
* Catapult Nightmare
* Chalk Outline
* Children Are Innocent
* Come Alone
* Courtly Love: Undead for about five hundred years now. Famous subversions appear as far back as Romeo And Juliet and The Canterbury Tales.
* Crate Expectations: Crates in video games have been mocked to death, but won't be going away any time soon.
* Crowd Song
* A Day In Her Apron
* Death By Childbirth
* Death By Origin Story
* Dumb Blonde.
* Evil Laugh: Indispensible? Hardly. Too much fun to give up? By far.
o It's about standards.
* Exact Eaves Dropping: Subversions predate Shakespeare, but t.v. shows continue to play it straight when it'll move the plot along.
* Go Into The Light
* It Was A Dark And Stormy Night
* Joke Character: The first Lethal Joke Character probably came around five seconds after the first Joke Character, and both are in wide use.
* Just Between You And Me
* Karmic Death: Particularly the hanging-from-the-hero's-hand-over-a-cliff variety.
* Knight In Shining Armor
* Literal Genie: Or sometimes the Monkeys Paw genie or wishes. Wishes are seldom what you intend them to be, simply because a person could end a story very quickly with the right wish.
* Look Behind You
* Love At First Sight
* Luke I Am Your Father
* Motivational Posters: Ubiquitous in schools and offices; mercilessly mocked everywhere else.
* One Woman Song
* Our Vampires Are Different: It seems like every other movie coming out right now is about vampires.
o Your Vampires Suck: And they all take digs at each other.
* Pac Man Fever: Despite the introduction of 3D graphics around 15 25 years ago, and game soundtracks surpassing beeps and boops at least 28 years ago, it seems that in the eyes of the media, video games are still stuck in the early 1980s, at the latest.
* Paper Thin Disguise
* Riding Into The Sunset
* Scoring Points: The genres in which points matter still exist, albeit as niche genres.
* The Scream: Oh, there are subversions. But this is still a popular trope that can be used right.
* Silly Love Songs: If you get rid of this, the entire popular music industry is doomed.
* Slow Clap
* Stuffed Into The Fridge: While often subverted with a Fake Kill Scare or other means, writers will still play it straight when they need the hero to be more angsty or go on a Roaring Rampage Of Revenge.
* Take My Hand
* Truck Drivers Gear Change
* White Dude Black Dude: Still prevalent in standup comedy.
* Wicked Stepmother
* You All Meet In An Inn: Still prevalent in Tabletop RPGs.
* You Have Failed Me: Still gets a lot of straight use so that we know how bad the villain is.
* Zombie Apocalypse
Exactly!! <!-- s
These were my thoughts. Grace has been fired, Omar has been kicked out and Katherine is in Indiana.. so who is looking after MJs kids????????
she should take the condo and shut the hell up
Im following that line of thought, DTD. Maybe the kids are with her. I have this crazy thought that probably Katherine wants the house clean so MJ could return there to live with her and the kids? <!-- s:idea: -->:idea:<!-- s:idea: -->
Perhaps tmz just wanted to let us know that four of the kids plus Alejandra are going to move out; they had to give an explanation as to why (at least for interested non-believers?)
Wonder what will be going down in the house, so that they are moving out...
I felt the same about the stun gun incident, where a number of people claimed it was probably a PR stunt organized by MJ.
This has a whole lot more to do with MONEY than media. Is it coincidence that this legal claim breaks as news not very long after it is revealed that MJ's kids won't get their trust money until they are much older, and that whatever remains after Katherine passes reverts back to MJ's kids as well? Think the others in that house and the family are happy about that?
Sadly, the money issues in this family seem to be the root of everything, and how that MJ is "gone" those issues are growing ito larger legal disputes.
Amen! <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
Link this one in the article they just put about the Forever Michael one and it seems to me that TMZ have got the dates wrong.. or they are playing with us.
