The Jackson $0.00

Take Jermaine LaJaune Jackson, a.k.a. Muhammad Abdul Aziz, and his second wife Alejandra Genevieve Oaziaza. The two split in 2005 after nine years of marriage, from which point Jermaine's been as much help as an umbrella in a hurricane.

Alejandra's broke and taking care of their two pre-teen sons, Jaffar and Jermajesty. (Jermaine has six other kids, and Alejandra two from a previous relationship with Jermaine's littlest brother, Randy.) She's now even resorted to living with Jackson's 78-year-old mother, Katherine, and says that Jermaine is responsible for $22,741 in debts and unpaid loans.

All to which Jermaine responds: "Get in line, woman!"

"I do not object to an appropriate level of child support," is his official line, according to court documents filed Tuesday as part of their ongoing divorce proceedings. "However, the reality is that [Alejandra] has knowingly misled this court into believing that I have income which I do not. I currently do not have any employment..."

"Thus I find myself in a Catch-22 situation where while I need money, I also need to be very cognizant of what employment I do undertake so as not to degrade my market value and ability to obtain legitimate work in the future. Unfortunately (and sadly), this troubling situation is very common in the entertainment industry."

Still, it's not for lack of trying. Since April, Jermaine's been in talks to team up with La Toya and Tito to serve as judges on a CBS show about the search for the next big band of brothers. We'd watch that!

He also says that he'd be happy to watch the kids if Alejandra wants to get off her butt and get a job.
