Michael Jackson’s Kids are Going to School

Posted by Jacob Morris on August 28th, 2010

As we reported a few months back, Michael Jackson’s children were struggling with the loss of their father and had no one but their family to help them cope with the rough times.

Katherine Jackson said that although the kids were essentially friendless, that would change once they enrolled in a private school in September.  Well, fast-forward to today and TMZ reports that Prince and Paris are ready to take the leap.

The two eldest of MJ’s kids (Prince, 13, and Paris, 12) began attending the prestigious Buckley School on Wednesday.  Unlike his two siblings, 8-year-old Blanket will remain at home and receive private lessons, as Katherine feels that he’s still too young to be going to school.

A source tells TMZ that Prince wanted to go to the private school for “a social experience.”

Despite two risqué alum—Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian—hopefully this will be a positive experience for two of the late pop king’s kids.

Michael Jackson’s Parents Are in Big Debt

Posted by Jacob Morris on July 2nd, 2010

No matter what money-making activities Katherine and Joe Jackson get up to for awhile, they likely won’t be pocketing the cash.  TMZ is reporting that the family owes a South Korean newspaper, the Segye Times, more than $13 million.

The Segye Times had dished out $5.5 million to back a Jackson family concert series that never happened, and apparently the Jackson’s haven’t paid up.  Trying to get their money back, in 1994 the newspaper sued and was awarded $4 million; jump ahead to 2010 and with interest factored in the Jackson’s are in the red for over $13 mil.

A lawyer for the newspaper tells TMZ that the company is looking to snatch up profits come in, including cash coming in from Katherine’s book, any movies that she helps to produce (she’s teaming up with Howard Mann right now), and all other sources of income.

Sources tell TMZ that the Segye Times will be in court in September attempting to squeeze anything they can from the estate’s bank account—which is reportedly also in big debt.

Michael Jackson’s Kids Spend Time in Hawaii

Posted by Jacob Morris on June 25th, 2010

As if to brace themselves for the emotional first anniversary of their father’s death, Michael Jackson’s children, Prince, Paris, and Blanket, escaped with their grandmother Katherine to Maui, reports People.com.

Spending a day on the island playing in the water, the three kids tried to enjoy the time away.  Although her two brothers seemed to be making the best of it, Paris was seen to be having a noticeably difficult time.

A source close to the Jackson family says,”Early on, Paris didn’t think she could live without her father … she just didn’t know how she was going to function. But [Katherine] has been so supportive of her that Paris is much better.”

The source says, “You have to remember that everybody in that family was suffering from grief, so Michael’s kids never felt alone in it,” continuing, “That helped them to become stronger.”

The family is schedule to be in Gary, Indiana on Friday afternoon, where a monument honouring Michael Jackson will be unveiled outside of the home where the singer grew up.

Joe Jackson Feels Katherine Jackson Responsible for Michael Jackson’s Death

Posted by andPOP Staff on June 14th, 2010

Have you ever heard the expression “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you?” Well Joe Jackson hasn’t, otherwise he would be smart enough to keep is mouth shut.

TMZ reports that Joe Jackson feels Katherine Jackson is responsible for Michael’s death. Joe justifies this view as Katherine refused to keep Michael “cheered up,” which resulted in his death. Katherine argues she didn’t want to invade his privacy.

Katherine’s lawyer, Adam Streisand, tells TMZ, “The world knows that Mrs. Jackson has always been a loving mother and grandmother, and that she and Michael had a very special relationship.”  Streisand then drives it home:  “The world also knows who Joe Jackson is and he seems bent on never letting us forget.”

Here’s where Joe may run into a huge problem. Joe isn’t included in Michael’s will, and the only person that’s been supporting him has been Katherine. Given Joe’s recent public comments, it’s hard to believe she will continue writing cheques.

Joe must be mentally unbalanced because what kind of idiot would blame Michael’s death on his Mother, and cut off his only supply of money?

Katherine Jackson Gets Temporary Custody of Michael’s Kids

Posted by Vanessa Baker on June 30th, 2009

Entertainment Weekly reports Michael Jackson’s mother, Katherine, was awarded temporary custody of his three children: Paris, Michael – known as Prince Michael – and Prince Michael II – known as Blanket. At a press conference outside the family estate in Encino, California, Joe Jackson, Katherine’s husband and Michael’s father, insisted the children belong with their grandmother, who has been taking care of them since their father’s June 25 death.

“We’re the parents,” he said. “This is where they belong. We’re going to take care of them and give them the education they’re supposed to have.”

Jackson family lawyer, Londell McMillan said, to the best of his knowledge, Debbie Rowe, Michael’s ex-wife and mother of the two older children, has not approached the family since Michael’s death. “I have no knowledge to suggest that she would do anything to uproot the best interest of these children, which is to stay together in a family that they’ve known and that they love, and that they feel very, very comfortable in.”
