Liz Taylor loves Michael Jackson’s movie, Joe Jackson charges $3K for tickets

If you want a good reference for the Michael Jackson documentary “This Is It,” then Liz Taylor would probably be right up there. And she loves it, so there.

Sony screened the movie for Taylor, as well as Jackson peeps Miko Brando, Evvy Tavasci, and hairdresser Joe Eber. Jackson and his kids spent last Easter with Eber and Taylor. Kind of an odd crew, but I guess it worked for them.

Taylor said Jackson looked great and the film is “brilliant.” The film is causing quite a rift among Jackson’s camp. So far, no one from his family has asked for a ticket or shown up to see the film, even though Sony has invited them.

The only family even remotely interested is his father, Joe Jackson, who’s charging $3,000 a ticket on opening night for fans to meet him and see the film!

Really?! I guess I’m not too surprised by that news. That pretty much spells out out where Joe Jackson fits into things — trying to capitalize on his son’s death. And when Joe appeared on Larry King’s show, he couldn’t string two sentences together and rambled incoherently.

“This Is It” opens in Los Angeles on Oct. 27, 2009. Watch the trailer here.
