Jermaine Jackson came out swinging at an event at the Magic Johnson theater in L.A. yesterday, claiming the 1993 molestation accusations against his brother were false ... and the suicide of the accuser's dad proves it.
Jermaine -- who spoke at a Michael Jackson charity event -- said the accuser's dad could not live with a guilty conscience and that's why he killed himself. Jermaine also latched onto Internet rumors that the accuser himself said Jackson didn't touch him.
Michael Jackson settled the '93 case by anteing up $20 million.
FYI -- the MJ stuff happens around 2:15 into the clip.
The homeless problem at Ipanema Beach in Rio de Janeiro reached fever pitch yesterday after a scruffy-looking vagabond wandered around aimlessly, muttering to himself about a message in a bottle.
Tila Tequila is willing to forgive the XXX website that posted her allegedly stolen tape -- as long as the price is right.
Tequila's lawyer just fired off a cease and desist letter to 4tube.com -- the porn site that's posting footage of Tila getting up close and personal with a naked man. In the letter, obtained by TMZ, Tila's lawyer claims Tequila is willing to settle her case as long as the site removes the video ... and coughs up $280,000.
Tila claims the video clip was snatched off a laptop she reported stolen about two years ago -- and was never intended for public viewing.
According to the letter, the porn site has 2 weeks to respond -- or Tila proceeds full speed ahead.

The star of the "Nailin' Paylin" porno considers her new hookup Rob Kardashian the "perfect little boy for a cougar" -- but that don't mean the two are gonna get monogamous any time soon.
Yesterday at the Sherman Oaks Galleria, porn star Lisa Ann said she hasn't even met the Kardashian clan yet, because "people don't really bring porn stars around their family" -- and said marriage with the 22-year-old would "never happen."
If a porn star and a Kardashian can't find love ... then who can??

Shaquille O'Neal gets the 2009 Thanksgiving award for quietly paying for the funeral of a little girl he never met.
Five-year-old Shaniya Davis was raped and murdered earlier this month. The alleged killer is behind bars, as is Shaniya's mother, who is charged with human trafficking and child abuse involving prostitution.
Shaq was so touched by the story he's footing the funeral bill -- estimated at $4,500.
The Cleveland Cavalier star told the Cleveland Plain Dealer, "Being a law enforcement guy that investigates crime against children, I wanted to be able to help in some way."
More than 2,000 people attended Shaniya's funeral last Sunday in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
Dr. Conrad Murray's baby mama -- not the one he had child support issues with in Las Vegas, one of the other ones -- went shopping on ritzy Robertson Blvd. yesterday. We don't know who's paying the tab.

Alvarez birthed Murray's seventh child, Che Giovanni Murray, on March 2 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

CBS apparently thinks a fresh gay kiss is way too risky to put on TV ... a widely-exposed 'lesbian' kiss -- no problem.
Bottom line -- CBS chickened out in trying to explain why "The Early Show" blurred Adam Lambert's AMA mano-y-mano kiss, but minutes later ran an uncensored clip of Madonna making out with Britney Spears.
CBS said, "The Madonna image is very familiar and has appeared countless times including many times on morning TV." By contrast, CBS explained, "The Adam Lambert image is a subject of great current controversy, has not been nearly as widely disseminated, and for all we know, may still lead to legal consequences."
Translation -- Foster Farms may soon be recruiting on West 57th St. in NYC.
