Jaafar Jackson<\/a> rolled into Gary, Indiana — the hometown of Michael Jackson<\/a> — for a special screening of “Michael” … and it turned into a full-blown family affair!<\/p>\n

Check out the pics — Jaafar was grinning ear to ear Monday night, hitting the podium for a speech and snapping it up with the rest of the Jackson clan … including members of The Jackson 5.<\/p>\n

All smiles on the surface — but not everyone showed up for the celebration at the famous Jackson clan’s birthplace. Noticeably absent? Michael\u2019s kids Paris<\/a> and Bigi ‘Blanket’ Jackson<\/a> … and as we know, there’s been some tension bubbling.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Paris recently took aim<\/a> at Michael’s attorney John Branca<\/a>, blasting the film\u2019s “botched production” — a big deal considering he oversees MJ\u2019s estate.<\/p>\n

Still … looks like the promo train isn\u2019t slowing down anytime soon — with or without the full fam on board. “Michael” is locked and loaded for an April 24 release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jaafar Jackson Brings ‘Michael’ Home W\/ Jackson Family Reunion!!!
