JUNE 7 |  On his official website Taryll invites the fans to share questions, thoughts, opinions, suggestions…he's listening! Below are some questions and the reply from Taryll:

Mitzie - Hey Taryll, When are you guys coming out with your next album and when are you going to drop it off here in the U.S.A ? Holla!!! God Bless.
Taryll - hello mitzie, we just started having our writing sessions together again which is a very good thing. We do a lot of writing, but it’s not always together. As you know we recently went to vegas to step away from the phones and everyday life. (Vegas? I know what you’re thinking, but if your focused you won’t be distracted.) It’s so much fun writing with my brothers, we always have a great time. Plus I think when we work together we somehow come up with this “sound.” We wrote some great songs, one that we are all really excitied about. When? - well we don’t want to rush it (quality and substance is so important) but at the same time we won’t take forever either. -So stay tuned.

Stephanie - Hey, Its nice of you to ask how we are doing. I am doing geat. I am in the process of publishing my first novel. I am very excited. Have a great week. Hope to hear from you soon. God Bless!
Taryll - Hey Stephanie, nice to hear things are well with you. good luck with the novel, sounds very exciting. I know you must have put in a lot of work so stay at it, you are almost there. everything will pay off in the end!!!

TJunette - Hello Taryll, I am so happy that you have made this site  I really appreciate all your new songs. My questions are:
Will you make a solo album or are you doing another album with your brothers?
If you you do a solo album will you make an European tour?
I was wondering also what are doing your brothers? any job, hobby?
I also wanted to ask you if it will be possible to put a picture of your brothers and of the little Royal on your site  Love you all so much! kissssssssssss (sorry for my english ^^)
Taryll - TJunette, thank you for your comments. I’m glad you are enjoying the site and the music. Besides the D8 project, I am also finishing up my solo album and working on another 3T album with my brothers. I have my hands full, but i love it.

Kelseymisskfb - Hey T its really nice of you to ask the fans how they are and also keeping us up to date with everything. Ummm I don’t really have any q’s but I do enjoy knowing whats happening. BTW Im good thank you im just recovering from the worst year EVER
Taryll - kelseymisskfb, sorry to hear your year was so bad. but it’s great to hear you are recovering!!! stay positive good things are right around the corner!!!

4Daym - Hi Taryll, I just wanted to know how difficult is it for you. Is it easy being pulled in so many directions, or does it make you feel good to be so busy? I am glad you take the time to break with the NBA, and wonder if you make a schedule. Time management can be difficult when you have so many responsibilities. I love what you have been doing and hope you haven’t been too hard on yourself. Always remember you are here to please God and if you please others it is a blessing. Rest easy, stay productive, and always be positive. Day
Taryll - 4daym, thanks for your comments. I have a really difficult time with balance. My brothers remind me every time to “balance my life.” So that is something I’m trying really hard to do. I believe in “hard work” and I start to feel guilty when I’m not working on my craft. But at the same time it’s equally important to enjoy life and have fun! there’s gotta be a balance.

AllGood CEO Reaffirms Commitment to Jacksons Show
Allocco still believes “Michael Jackson is a man of his word”

Morristown, NJ (June 2, 2009) – Responding to several conflicting reports and mischaracterizations circulating in the media, Patrick Allocco, CEO of AllGood Entertainment, reiterated his desire to produce the Jackson Family Reunion concert with Michael Jackson and his siblings.
“Let me say this as clearly and unequivocally as I possibly can,” said Allocco. “I have spoken
with Michael Jackson and I believe that he is an honorable man. A man of his word. I look
forward to working with him and his entire family on the historic show we have been planning
for more than a year.”
“Unlike so many characters in Michael’s past, we’re trying to put money – big money – in his
pockets, not take money out of them,” continued Allocco. “All we want is for our show to go on,
per the contract we executed with his manager late last year, and there will be no need for
lawyers.” The Jackson Family Reunion Concert is scheduled for July 3, 2010, at the new Cowboys
Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

MAY 15 | DANNY O'DONOVAN ENTERTAINMENT GROUP releases statement:
The Jacksons Deny Any Involvement With Planned Jackson 5 Reunion Show in Texas With Brother Michael & Sister Janet

Beverly Hills, CA, May 15, 2009 — In an official statement issued today The Jacksons (Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Randy Jackson) have denied they were in any way involved with a proposed Jackson 5 reunion concert in Texas on July 3rd claimed this week by New Jersey concert promoters AllGood Entertainment.

According to The Jackson’s manager, Danny O’Donovan, the original members of the Jackson 5, and younger brother, Randy, who later joined Michael and his older brothers performing as The Jacksons, were never approached about participating in the purported Texas concert event with Michael and sister, Janet.

The Jacksons have said they will support Michael in fighting any legal action brought by AllGood Entertainment with regard to the promoter’s claim about a July 3rd concert in Texas Stadium. O’Donovan said “There is absolutely no merit in this claim, and we had no knowledge of any contract with anyone, for a so-called family tour reunion. In fact, The Jacksons were never even approached about it and no offer was ever made to them.”

All of the Jackson brothers are thrilled that Michael is returning to the live stage this summer and are totally in support of his historic 50 concert run at London’s O2 Arena. They eagerly look forward to seeing and enjoying his “This Is It!” concert event.

REHEARSALS IN LA | Secreted in an airport hangar somewhere in the Los Angeles area, Michael is hard at work rehearsing for his 50-date concert series, “This Is It,” TheWrap has confirmed. “He is fine and in great shape and is healthy and rehearsing in Los Angeles,” said friend and business associate Gary Pudney, executive producer of the World Music Awards, where Jackson made one of his rare public appearances in 2006.
Pudney, however, insists, fans should not worry about Jackson pulling a no-show or giving a sub-par performance. “He's in very good health,” Pudney said. “He's taken very good care of himself, and anyone saying he isn't rehearsing is wrong. This is it. There are a lot of people out there who wish him ill.”

DANCERS SELECTED | Michael has reportedly selected the dancers he wishes to use on his upcoming “This Is It” Tour. A number of the dancers present at the auditions have revealed details via social networking and blogs. It is understood that Michael has booked 6 men (with 4 understudies) and 2 women (with 2 understudies) on a 2-year contract to perform “national” and “international” venues on the “This Is It” tour.

FEBRUARY 4 | Cameroonian musician Manu Dibango had filed a lawsuit against both Rihanna and Michael, claiming the artists have nicked one of his hooks. Dibango, 75, points to Wanna Be Startin' Something. In that song, the King of Pop ends the chorus with the chant, "mama-say mama-sa ma-ma-coo-sa," words that sound close to the Duala chant in Dibango's classic Soul Makossa.
Michael had already admitted to borrowing the line, according to the AFP, settling with Dibango out of court. But when Rihanna came calling in 2007, asking to sample Michael on her song Don't Stop the Music, he agreed – allegedly without contacting the Cameroonian.
Dibango's lawyers have now brought the case before a Parisian court, demanding €500,000 in damages and that Sony BMG, EMI and Warner Music be barred from receiving "mama-say mama-sa"-related income until the matter is resolved. French judges will announce on 17 February whether they will hear the case.

FEBRUARY 4 | Tito is being sued by a New York woman who claims he is her father. 25-year-old Tanay Rodney Jackson has filed a petition in Brooklyn Family Court last Summer in a bid to be recognized as a member of music's royal family. She told NY Post, "He told me he was my father when I was 17," adding that Tito would "pop over now and then" when she was in elementary. "He didn't want it public. He was ashamed." As we know, Tito has has three sons, Toriano Adaryll (born 1973), Taryll Adren (born 1975), and Tito Joseph (born 1978) from his ex-wife Dee Dee Martes.

JANUARY 7 | It may not be Neverland, but it will have to do. Michael has leased a Bel-Air mansion for $100,000 a month, according to his manager-spokesman Tohme Tohme. Michael wanted to be closer to "where all the action is" in the entertainment industry, the spokesman said.
The gated estate that Michael is leasing was one of the most expensive houses listed for sale last year in Los Angeles but was withdrawn from the market after Mike signed a year's lease.
"He might want to build his own dream house" during that time, Tohme said, adding, "although the real estate market isn't very good right now."
Michael's temporary shelter is a French chateau estate built in 2002. It has seven bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, 12 fireplaces and a theater. There is a multistory grand entry, hardwood floors, a formal dining room, wood-paneled den and adjoining library with coffered ceilings.
