Michael Jackson’s perfume and cologne are coming too

Roger Friedman reports that soon you will see Michael Jackson’s perfume and cologne in stores. This time, however, Joe Jackson, Michael’s father, has nothing to do with it. The Michael Jackson Foundation has officially signed a contract with a company that produces cosmetics and personal care products. The perfume and cologne bottles have been designed, and their names have been selected. Of course, their names are not Trailer, Bad, Dangerous, Invincible, or Off the Wall (Michael’s albums).

At this year’s BET Awards, Joe Jackson promoted a perfume and cologne that he had produced using Michael’s name with the help of a Paris-based company—an act that was met with a reaction from the company BravoDo. After Michael’s death, the company bought the exclusive rights to produce Michael Jackson products from his foundation. (Read more)

This is not the first time the foundation has taken action against Joe Jackson’s commercial activities that follow from using his son’s name. According to Michael’s will, Joe Jackson does not receive any share of his billion-dollar fortune and has no right to interfere in his work and commercial affairs. Not long ago, Joe announced that, with the help of one of Michael’s former—though not very well-regarded—talent managers, named Dieter Wiesner (Dieter Wiesner), who is connected to a German film company, he has been pursuing additional projects. Of course, the foundation has also threatened again that if necessary, it will stop the progress of the work through its German lawyer.

Another commercial dream of Joe Jackson’s involves Neverland hotels. Neverland is the name of Michael Jackson’s private ranch, which at one time included everything from a zoo to an amusement park. The foundation says such hotels will not be built.

One person associated with the foundation says they believe Joe is well aware of how unrealistic his dreams are, but he enjoys traveling and getting attention.

The foundation is currently busy with the final steps to open Michael Jackson’s long-awaited tour, which will be performed by Cirque du Soleil. The tour opens in Montreal, Canada, on October 2, two months from now, and two months after that it will go to Las Vegas for a special fan festival. Michael Jackson’s business is expanding day by day.
