Jackson Kids Paternity Request

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Child Stars, Legal Issues,

Michael Jackson's family has demanded that paternity evidence relating to his children be dropped from a lawsuit.

The late singer's mother Katherine Jackson - who acts as a co-legal guardian for his children Prince Michael, 17, Paris, 15 and Blanket, 10, - has filed a motion asking the judge presiding over the court case to exclude any evidence relating to their paternity.

According to legal documents, obtained by gossip website TMZ.com, Katherine claims that the jury does not need to know anything about her grandchildren's biological parentage. Budding actor and TV presenter Prince Michael and his sister Paris are believed to be the children of their father's ex-wife Debbie Rowe, while Blanket is said to have been born via a surrogate mother.

The family is suing AEG Live - who sponsored Michael's This Is It tour - for the alleged negligent hiring and supervision of Dr. Conrad Murray, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for his role in Michael's death.

Katherine Jackson Refuses to Speak to Her Kids

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Child Stars, Legal Issues, Rumors,

Katherine Jackson isn't talking to three of her children.

The showbiz matriarch - who temporarily lost custody of late son Michael's kids Prince, 15, Paris, 14, and Blanket, 10, when she made an unexpected trip to a spa in Arizona - is unwilling to meet with Janet, Randy and Rebbie Jackson because she believes they misled her and didn't tell her that her grandchildren had been trying to contact her during her stint away from California. The siblings are reportedly banned from entering the home in Calabasas where Katherine lives with her grandchildren because they are at war with the executors of Michael's estate - which pays for the property - but their mother is said to be "heartbroken" over their recent behavior and doesn't want to see them.

Michael Jackson Kids Coping Differently

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Meltdowns, Rumors,

Michael Jackson‘s son Prince Michael II cries himself to sleep every night.

The late pop star’s seven-year-old son, known as Blanket, is so distraught about his father’s death that he constantly asks where his “daddy” is and sobs in his bedroom.

A Jackson family friend said, “He cries himself to sleep and keeps asking where his daddy is. His aunt Rebbie spent the first few nights sleeping on a cot bed beside him because he was scared to sleep alone. He acts pretty wild during the day.”

Michael’s three children, 12-year-old son Prince Michael I, 11-year-old daughter Paris and Blanket, have been looked after by their legal guardian and grandmother Katherine Jackson since the “Thriller” singer’s passing.

While the youngest sibling is visibly emotional, Paris is reportedly coping with her grief in quieter ways: “Paris does a lot of reading and watercolor painting and hair-braiding with her cousins, who visit every day and she speaks regularly to a handful of friends on her mobile phone.”

But the eldest, Prince, has caused such concern by spending hours playing computer games—Katherine has had to put time restrictions on his internet sessions: “Katherine makes sure that internet access is monitored and time-limited around the house.”

Another Alleged Michael Jackson Son Appears

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Celebrity Babies, Rumors,

Someone else has stepped forward claiming to be the true biological son of the late Michael Jackson. According to reports, Prince Michael Malachi Jet Jackson has requested a DNA test to prove his case as the offspring of the King of Pop.

This Prince Michael, 24, is distinctly a different person from the Prince Michael, 12, who was raised by Michael Jackson as his son. The younger Prince Michael was born of Debbie Rowe using an as-yet-unidentified male DNA. He was then raised as Michael’s son; Katherine Jackson now has custody of him per the terms of the will and a court ruling.

Former Child Actor Claims He’s Father of Michael Jackson Heiress

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Celebrity Babies, Child Stars, Legal Issues, Rumors,

We’ve actually seen something similar once before. Anyone remember the confusion surrounding the daughter of Anna Nicole Smith? Michael Jackson’s three kids are Dannielynn times six, because almost anybody could claim to be the mother or father of the three. While it’s an accepted fact that Debbie Rowe is the biological mom to the two oldest Jackson heirs, no one knows much about the third - and we know even less about the male DNA used to create the tots.

Or…do we? Former child actor and Jackson friend Mark Lester has stepped forward to say that he is the father of Paris Jackson, Michael’s sole daughter. Lester claims he was asked for sperm by Jackson in 1996. Lester says “it was a gift to him.” Further, Lester claims that Paris looks a great deal like his own daughter Harriet.

Michael Jackson’s Estate Will Negate Singer’s Debt

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Celebrity Babies, Child Stars, Legal Issues,

Though Michael Jackson died while still owing about $400 million in debt, court documents suggest the remainder of his estate will substantially cover this deficit. According to attorney John Branca and music executive John McClain, they are working on deals that will “generate tens of millions.”

These two have arranged for allowances to be distributed to Paris, Prince and Blanket, Michael Jackson’s three children, along with Katherine Jackson. The LA court has decided, however, to wait until the August 3 hearing (which will determine guardianship of the children) before dispensing these funds.

Jackson Custody Hearing Postponed - Again!

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Celebrity Babies, Child Stars, Legal Issues,

The Jackson custody hearing, scheduled to commence Monday, has now been pushed back to August 3. It’s only another of many postponements in the case, which has been repeatedly delayed as Katherine Jackson (Michael’s mother and the current custody-holder) and Debbie Rowe (biological mom to the two oldest kids) work behind the scenes to decide upon an appropriate settlement.

According to reports, the hearing has been delayed because the two are actually close to reaching a settlement. Until the August hearing, Katherine will retain custody of the kids.

Debbie Rowe Plays She Said, They Said With the Press

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Divorce, Celebrity Babies, Child Stars, Legal Issues, Rumors,

It isn’t often that the New York Post makes a mistake, but when they do, they do it pretty big. The front-page banner ad printed by the paper today, claiming that Debbie Rowe will accept $4 million in exchange for dropping her custody claim, is inaccurate.

Not only inaccurate, it’s created a resulting media fire storm of lawyers, angry letters and additional headlines. If I didn’t know better, I’d say the false story was planted on purpose for just this reason…

Debbie Rowe Makes a Play for Michael Jackson’s Kids

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Celebrity Babies, Child Stars, Legal Issues, Rumors,

Debbie Rowe, surrogate mother to Michael Jackson’s two oldest children, is now bucking for custody of all three of the surviving Jackson tots.

Rowe carried and delivered Michael Joseph and Paris-Michael, impregnated with both via IVF (in vitro fertilization). She recently stepped forward to say she was not just the surrogate of the children but the biological mother of both. It’s still unclear whether or not Michael Jackson is the biological father of any of the three children to whom he was the primary caregiver. Rowe never had custody of the two children…but now, she wants it. Not just that, she’s bucking to get custody of the youngest Jackson child as well.
