The family's fine. We're going to eat some of this food
Jackson Father Opens New Calif. Restaurant
Associated Press
WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - Michael and Janet Jackson's father had a gala opening for his new restaurant Wednesday night, but the two pop stars were absent.
The restaurant, which showcases Southern cooking such as collard greens and catfish, was started by Joseph Jackson and named Katherine's after the Jackson family matriarch.
Jermaine Jackson spoke about his sister's infamous Super Bowl halftime show at the opening, saying it looked like the clothing removal was an accident.
"I didn't understand what was going on until later," he said. "It wasn't done intentionally. It looked like an accident. I'm going to believe that."
He said he the story has been in the news so much because "the media have nothing else to talk about."
Joseph Jackson declined to talk about his daughter Janet.
"The family's fine. We're going to eat some of this food," he said.
He said his wife Katherine would not attend because she was "relaxing."
"She's in Las Vegas and she wishes us all have a good time," he said.

I always go for "life goes on" stories. And I love the line: "The family's fine. We're going to eat some of this food."
Like I said, curiously entertaining...
