Sources backstage Sunday night at the BET Awards tell me even Janet Jackson -- and other Jackson family members -- were "really horrified" when they learned Michael Jackson's father, Joe Jackson, started plugging his new Ranch Records label as he walked the red carpet at the show, which was totally reworked to honor Michael's memory and legacy.
CNN anchor and former WMAQ-Channel 5 anchor Don Lemon was practically speechless -- and quickly changed the subject back to thoughts of the King of Pop -- after Joe's blatant boost of his new Ranch Records label. "We've got Blu-ray technology," boasted Papa Jackson, who seemed more interested in introducing his business partner to Lemon than talking about his son's unparalleled career.
