After videos of Michael Jackson's kids Blanket and Paris surfaced yesterday, I took Blanket's Star Wars monologues to heart and remembered my old lightsaber in the attic. But nefarious grandfather Joe Jackson doesn't care that I pretended to growl at Darth Maul in the mirror using lyrics from "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin." He claims the videos weren't meant to be posted at all, adding he plans to track down the goons who hacked the private footage. Call me crazy, but there's a chance the smooth criminal here is the grade-schooler operating the camera.
According to PopEater, Joe Jackson's on the hacker's trail:
"We don't know who [the hacker] was, but we're trying to find out." Joe Jackson tells PopEater, "We don't know who [the hacker] was, but we're trying to find out."
He says the family "doesn't want the videos on YouTube" and completely rules out any chance that Paris and Blanket put them up.
Just a thought, Joe: If 8-year-old Blanket is clever enough to remember a boring space caper from 1999, he might be able to post a video on YouTube. In fact, Joe should feel partly responsible that Blanket wasn't reciting lines from Transformers, Kung Fu Panda or The Reader or something. So tragically out of touch, just like rumors keep saying.
