Eh, I hate this sh-t so much. Just reading this kind of crap gives me a tension headache. Okay, here goes: Joe Jackson is still hellbent on profiting on Michael. Joe’s latest scheme involves This Is It, the upcoming film that will feature Michael’s final rehearsals. Joe has made arrangements to “introduce” the film at screenings in England. Of course, his introductions come at a cost – the Chicago Sun-Times estimates Joe will be paid $250,000, but doesn’t specify if that figure is for the whole introduction series, or Joe will be making $250,000 per introduction.

One thing about Joe Jackson: He sure is busy cashing in on his superstar son’s death.

Given Michael Jackson’s final concerts had been scheduled for London and were instant sellouts, Papa Joe has moved to make some serious moolah tied to the release of ‘‘This Is It,’’ the upcoming film of Michael’s final rehearsals for that tour.

I’ve learned that when the film opens in England, Joe will introduce screenings during the first week at selected venues. Word has it, he will be paid about $250,000 for his, uh, efforts — which reportedly will include sharing a few stories about the King of Pop with audiences before the screenings.

‘‘He stands to make more from these London shows than from his Vegas deal,’’ said a source privy to the London project, referring to the VIP packages Jackson is promoting for ‘‘This Is It’’ openings Oct. 26 and 27 in Las Vegas, with prices ranging up to $3,000 per ticket.

I don’t even want to go into how gross I find Joe Jackson and his whole deal. It’s just disgusting to me. So I’ll change the subject.

Justin Timberlake gave a recent interview to MTV about Michael’s legacy, and Justin is incredibly generous, gracious and thoughtful with his tribute to the performer he idolized. JT says: “If there’s anything that I think my generation of artists — including myself, obviously — emulate about Michael, it’s that he felt what he was doing so much that his vocal presentation of the song, you can tell when he was cutting the record he was probably dancing in the booth. At least that’s what it seems like to me. That type of energy, that kinetic energy into the music, I think that’s what we all try to emulate. From hip-hop to pop to rock and roll, I think that there’s inflection that he put into music as a vocalist that no one had ever really heard that way. I just heard certain songs that I loved as a kid and I gravitated toward those songs. It just so happens that 99.79 percent of his songs are perfect. They’re perfect songs. The other whatever percentage are works of art as well.” Aw… nice. Just think about Justin and forget about that crotchety, senile, gross, abusive, disgusting son of bitch Joe.
