Jermaine Jackson is bringing a wry smile to the lips of divorce lawyers across the US by claiming he has no money to give to his estranged wife, Alejandro. Nope, not a bean. In fact, he's laying it on with a trowel by pulling his pockets out of his trousers to prove they are empty, shrugging with a sad grin, and - most unbelievably - claiming he's so broke he'll have to move back into his mum's house.
Way to go, Jermaine! Is all the money from 'Celebrity Big Brother' buried in mum's garden then?
He is claiming that he doesn't have a red cent to pay for the upkeep of his two children, young Jermaine and Jermajesty. Alejandro also famously has another two children by Jermaine's brother, the aptly-named Randy.
"I currently do not have any employment and I do not have any income from which to pay support," he says, ignoring the royalties from those multi million-selling records.
Though she's just as bad, claiming that her total income per month is £40.50, barely enough to keep her in outrage and saliva.
The divorce rumbles on, with the expensive lawyers on either side seemingly confident that they will be paid by one of the two paupers. Next step will no doubt be one party failing to turn up to court because they don't have the bus fare, or because their arse is poking out of their trousers.
Although arse poking out of trousers doesn't seem to be a good gauge of poverty this week...
