Everybody has their own opinions about the messiness that is the Jackson family right now, but the most bold of all might be the one from fellow celeb Gladys Knight. Yesterday the legendary singer appeared on the CBS daytime show “The Talk” and when the hosts asked her for her thoughts on everything going on with the Jackson clan right now, she didn’t hesitate to say how she really felt.

“It’s drama, that’s what it is. If you lived up under the microscope as this family does, everybody has dysfunctionality in their families, either one way or the other,” she started.

“See, I’m from the south and was raised in that southern way. You have to understand Paris is what, 14? How old is Janet? Who’s the one who tries to direct the other one here? And I would think that it’s a good thing she let’s Paris know who she is. She is a Jackson, she shouldn’t be putting the business out there like that. Cause people read into whatever they want to read into, that’s how they get the drama. So, she’s just trying to protect her, in a way. But if she [Paris] called me that, she wouldn’t have any teeth…You respect your elders.”

I think Gladys might be getting the “spoiled b****” line that everyone has been talking about mixed up because that’s what Janet supposedly called Paris, but everything else I agree with. The public wouldn’t know half of the foolery going on in that Calabasas compound if it weren’t for her tweets—and the police records. When celebrities in their 20s and 30s and even 40s don’t know how to handle Twitter, the social media site can definitely be a dangerous thing in the hands of a teenager who talks a lot of stuff 140 characters at a time 24/7. Eventually she’s going to wish she didn’t have the entire world in her business, especially when there’s enough immediate family to contend with. Maybe Gladys oughtt to pay a trip to the grounds and set them all straight. What do you say?

Somewhere there is a stadium of chairs begging Chris Brown to have a seat.

The controversial character, clearly not content with his own extraordinary amount of controversy, jumped on Twitter this morning to give his two cents on the Jackson Family debacle.

First he posted a picture of himself as Michael Jackson:

Then, he gave his unsolicited thoughts on the Jackson’s very public family drama:

We all can agree that the Jacksons should consider keeping their disputes in-house. However, this advice coming from someone like Chris Brown — whose violent relationship with Rihanna played out in a very public way – is especially ironic. Is this an odd case of “do as I say and not as I do”? The man beat up his girlfriend in a car, in public, on the side of a Los Angeles road. Beyond that (which is more than enough), Chris Brown has continued to live his entire life in public from blasting Walmart on Twitter for not shelving his album to getting into Twitter brawls with Raz-B over gay rumors to posting pictures of a busted chin after allegedly being hit with a bottle by #TeamDrake.

Just today, Chris Brown’s camp had to release a statement that his trip to France is wholly unrelated to Rihanna’s same trip to France. Apparently, rumors have surfaced that the former couple were together on a yacht last night. After the “Birthday Cake” remix fallout, it’s clear that the public isn’t completely comfortable with a Rihanna/Chris Brown reconciliation, so his team is scrambling saying the two haven’t been together in Europe and that he’s still with Karrueche. In the span of about three years, Chris Brown went from being the darling of R&B to an epic PR disaster.

You’d think he would have his hands full trying to get his own image together and therefore not have time to moonlight as “Twitter Counselor” to a family that is just as chaotic as he is.

Chris Brown’s advice, as well-meaning as it was intended, is just another example of his staggering lack of self-awareness and his need to step away from Twitter and focus on his own drama.

What do you think? Can you believe Chris Brown chimed in?
