Michael Jackson's kids after his death/March 2013

Paris Jackson, Michael Jackson’s daughter, is now a varsity high school cheerleader


Paris Jackson has always been known as Michael Jackson’s daughter. Yet she’s no little kid anymore. Instead, she’s a 14-year-old teen with a massive Twitter following of more than 1 million fans. Evidently she’s also a varsity cheerleader, as the world learned when she tweeted out of a photo of her cheering on Sherman Oaks (Ca.) Buckley School’s boys basketball team.

The photo was apparently taken by a MaxPreps photograher and posted to Jackson’s Twitter account days after Buckley earned the school’s first ever California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section title with a 54-46 win over San Luis Obispo (Ca.) Mission Prep.

“I’m so excited for our community,” Buckley boys basketball coach Mike Hamilton told Buckley’s in-house website, Buckley.org. “They are the reason we won CIF. Everyone has been so supportive and kind. We have been feeding off of their energy for several games now. Our fans, faculty and staff are continuing to carry us across the finish line.

“In terms of the team, these guys worked so hard to be here. Everything they did in the preseason prepared them for this time. I’m just happy to be along for the ride. This sort of success could not happen to a better group of young men.”
Jackson has attended Buckley for three years, largely because the private school is extremely exclusive. In theory, Buckley helps Jackson avoid the everpresent media spotlight abdicated by her father, the King of Pop, when he tragically passed away.

Yet Twitter subverts that dynamic, with the teen sharing all different aspects of her life to a rabid following that she has cultivated en route to fame and, she hopes, a future career in movies.

For now, the teen pseudo-celebrity has a lot more cheering to do. Buckley’s victory ensures that the school will take place in the Division V state tournament, where the team will begin against Escondido (Ca.) Calvin Christian High on Wednesday.

PARIS JACKSON: I Got Spirit ... FREE SPIRIT!



One minute she's a football player ... the next, Paris Jackson is pom-pomming her face off on her prep school's cheerleading squad ... another sign MJ's daughter is as free a spirit as he was.

Paris -- sporting a short new 'do -- hit the hardwood and rooted on the Buckley School basketball team in L.A. yesterday ... while hamming it up for the cameras.

It's just the latest predictably unpredictable move for the 14-year-old ... who was just playing for the school's flag football team in 2011 -- she's kinda like "Icebox" from "Little Giants" ... only WAYY more bad ass.

Besides the sports, Jackson is also an aspiring actress ... political activist ... model ... and Bieber-enthusiast.

Funny, Michael spent so much time trying to keep his children out of the spotlight ... but now, it seems she's reveling in it.

Paris Coming To Cannes? Michael Jackson’s Daughter May Appear

EXCLUSIVE And keep checking for updates: It’s a great headline– Paris coming to Cannes. But I’ve been told that Paris Jackson, who just turned 15, is indeed being brought to the Cannes Film Festival. I told you exclusively a couple of weeks ago that Paris recently signed with Hollywood super agent Rick Yorn, who also reps Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz and Martin Scorsese as a manager.

If Paris does indeed make the trip it’s unclear if it’s because Yorn has plans for her already, although he’s told friends he’s convinced Paris can be a huge star. “He just wants her to finish high school,” says a source. Ironically, I’d only recently heard that Paris’s grandfather, wily Joe Jackson, was considering a Cannes appearance as well. And Janet Jackson often makes an appearance at a charity event or two.
So we’ll see how many Jacksons make the trip to the south of France– and who’s talking to whom. That will be most interesting since it was less than a year ago that Paris clashed with Janet publicly when Janet and several siblings “kidnapped” Katherine Jackson.

Debbie Rowe Attempts To Reconcile With Prince Michael Jackson

Paris, down. Prince, next.

Michael Jackson's ex wife has reached out to her biological son, 16, in an attempt to reconcile after years of estrangement, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Rowe –who was married to Jackson from 1996 to 1999 –recently invited Prince Michael to join his sister, 15, at her Palmdale, Calif., ranch, about an hour outside Los Angeles.

“Debbie is anxious to spend some quality time with Prince,” a family insider told RadarOnline.com.

“She personally made the invitation to Prince for him to go up to Palmdale at her ranch. The ranch is the perfect place for mother and son because it offers privacy from prying eyes."

However, “Prince made it known that he isn’t ready to hang out with his biological mother —just yet.”

Said a source: “He is open to the idea, but wants to do it on his terms, which Debbie understands and fully supports."

The insider added that Prince Michael “just doesn’t feel that he needs a mother figure in his life right now because he has his grandmother and aunt .” LaToya.

As previously reported, Paris and her mother have bonded over recent weeks —so much so, she told her 83-year-old grandmother Katherine that she plans on spending a large chunk of her summer vacation at the ranch, where Rowe breeds horses.

“She might go to summer school for the first month of vacation, but will be with Debbie on the weekends and plans on being with her mom in July and August", a source said.

"Paris wants to spend as much time as possible with Debbie and this is the perfect time".

Rowe gave her pop star husband sole custody of the children in the divorce.

Prince among men! Junior Jackson takes 'princess' girlfriend Remi Alfalah to slap up Italian meal in Beverly Hills




Most 16-year-olds probably make do with the bowling alley and two romantic hot dogs.

But Prince Jackson is pop royalty and and because of that, he can offer a better standard of teen date than most.

So far, he's taken his new lady Remi Alfalah to watch The Rolling Stones and on Friday the two some rolled up to upmarket Italian eaterie, Il Pastaio, in Beverly Hills.


Young love: Prince Jackson and his new girlfriend Remi Alfalah enjoyed some lunch at Il Pastaio in Beverly Hills this afternoon

The restaurant isn't the cheapest choice for a teenager.

But for lunch you can select pasta or a salad for around twenty dollars, with a smattering of antipasti thrown in without breaking the Jackson bank.

The giddy duo chatted merrily as they waited for their edibles to come and looked relaxed in one another's company.

Who's that girl? Prince's girlfriend looks a bit like Madonna's daughter, Lourdes

Prince didn't exactly dress up for the afternoon on the town.
The youngster looked presentable though, in brown khaki pants, T-shirt and trainers.

And his girlfriend looked very chic for a youngster in white trousers, white shirt and khaki jacket with a pair of elegant sandals.

Later in the day, Prince decided to have a night out with his cousin TJ to see the new Star Trek movie.

He'd changed into an apple green singlet, black shorts and black trainers.
They were joined by other members of the clan to see the hotly tipped scifi move.
Family affair: Prince Jackson was spotted heading to the movie theaters to catch a showing of the new Star Trek on Thursday afternoon with his cousin TJ Jackson

They were the hottest tickets in town.
But when you are a Prince, or indeed a Princess, doors are always open.
Prince Jackson took his new girlfriend Remi Alfalah to watch the Rolling Stones in Los Angeles on Friday night.


A Royal night out! Prince Michael Jackson and 'Kuwaiti princess' Remi Alfalah attend the Rolling Stones 50th Anniversary Concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Saturday


Sitting side by side with their eyes firmly on the band, the pair appeared to be enjoying their night out.
Prince wore a T-shirt and a leather jacket, while his 15-year-old girlfriend was in a Rolling Stones shirt.

The teens met at the Buckley School in Sherman Oaks, California, where they are both juniors.



As the son of Michael Jackson, Prince has impeccable showbiz connections.
But they surely don't leave Remi awestruck.
For she is part of the Kumati royal family, despite her American upbringing.
Prior to dating Remi, Prince was romantically linked to another classmate, Niki Berger, as recently as February.

The young heartbreaker, who recently joined Entertainment Tonight as a correspondent, has been spotted driving his new flame around town in his Ford Raptor truck.
Like any other teen romance, they have also enjoyed trips to the bowling alley, go-karting and dinner.

A New Jackson in Front of the Lens

LOS ANGELES — In some ways, he seems like just another 16-year-old boy. He drives a Ford Raptor pickup. He took his girlfriend bowling. On social media, he talks about movies, video games and junk food.

Sample tweet: “Burnt myself on a corn dog.”

But lately, Michael Jackson’s oldest son, Prince, has become a teenager about town. TMZ.com and other tabloid media outlets have shown him leaving Mr. Chow’s, taking in the Rolling Stones and having a powwow with police over strobe lights mounted on the grille of that truck. “It’s a far cry from the boy Michael Jackson shielded for years,” TMZ wrote last month.

He opened the door for this, or at least someone has.

Prince, who just a few years ago was wearing a feathered face mask in public to protect his identity, turned paparazzi heads in October with an unusual appearance to promote an energy drink. “I have a wide, broad horizon,” he told “Extra” while standing next to his aunt, La Toya, and holding a can of Mr. Pink Ginseng Drink just so.

In February, he appeared on “Entertainment Tonight” (above), the grande dame of tabloid TV shows, as a special correspondent. With two cameras rolling and La Toya watching from the sidelines, he chatted with James Franco, Zach Braff and Sam Raimi about Disney’s “Oz the Great and Powerful.” (“Do you have any advice for someone who’s looking to get into the business?”)

Then, just last Monday, he made his acting debut: a cameo on “90210” as a trauma victim. (“I don’t know about you,” he said rather convincingly after being injured at a concert, “but I’m freakin’ out.”)

What’s behind this sudden step into the spotlight?

It’s tough to get answers when you are dealing with the Jacksons. La Toya and Prince had no comment, according to their media representative, “It” Girl Public Relations. A lawyer for his grandmother, Katherine Jackson, who shares custody of Prince and his siblings (Paris, 15, and Blanket, 11), did not respond to a request for comment.

Maybe, as La Toya said in a March statement following a negative New York Post article (“La Toya Jackson Seizes Careers of Jacko’s Kids”), Prince’s budding show business career is simply part of turning 16. Teenagers get jobs. What was he supposed to do? Steam milk at Starbucks?

The statement read in part: “When she asked her nephew what he wanted for his birthday, he replied, ‘He just wanted to work.’ It was at that time that she diligently started to assist him.” It added, “As a loving aunt, when the children ask for help or advice, she supports them 100 percent.”

But a lot of people are wincing. Fans worry about what the protective Michael would think; he wanted his kids to have a showbiz-free childhood, the one he longed for but never had. The celebrity-news machine ate the King of Pop alive, and now his son is participating in it? Does Prince really want to start an entertainment career, or is this just a creepy continuation of the Jackson family way?

When The Daily Mail, a British publication, ran an article about Prince’s “Entertainment Tonight” debut, 239 readers weighed in with comments. Although some feedback was positive (“Like watching a young Michael!”), many questioned whether a TV job was a good idea.

“Not sure I am comfortable with this, to be honest,” one person wrote. “I hope this isn’t the start of this kid being exploited by both the entertainment industry and whoever is said to be in charge of looking after him,” another added. One reader wrote of Michael Jackson, “I can’t help but think he’ll be turning in his grave at this.”

Randall Sullivan, author of “Untouchable: The Strange Life and Tragic Death of Michael Jackson,” sees a more nuanced picture. Yes, the Jackson family has an unsavory history when it comes to children and work. But “there was no way these kids were going to be able to maintain a low profile once they became teenagers,” Mr. Sullivan said in an interview.

“Prince is smart and older than his age,” Mr. Sullivan added. “I think the older kids have also recognized their power. The media’s interest in them is 10 times the rest of the family.”

And the tabloids will not go hungry.

“The kids rate, it’s as simple as that,” said a senior producer at a celebrity news organization, referring to Nielsen ratings. “Jackson stories in general don’t rate anymore: the trial, the weird family stuff, all the molestation accusations. It’s mostly just white noise to people at this point.

“As a result, we’ve all started hunting the kids.”

(A new claim of molesting arose on May 1, filed against the Michael Jackson estate by Wade Robson, a dancer and choreographer. A lawyer for the estate called the fresh accusation “outrageous and pathetic.”)

Prince is just one of several celebrity teenagers who are taking Bambi steps into the family business. His sister, Paris, wants to act in movies. Connor Cruise, 18, the son of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, is an aspiring D.J., while Rocco Ritchie, the 12-year-old son of Madonna and Guy Ritchie, danced on stage with his mother during her last concert tour. (But he skipped the bondage gear.) Jaden Smith, 14, will star with his father, Will Smith, in a summer movie, “After Earth.”

Prince’s involvement in “Entertainment Tonight” came about after one of the program’s correspondents, Brooke Anderson, met him at a philanthropic event, according to Linda Bell Blue, the show’s executive producer. The teenager told Ms. Anderson that he was interested in TV, so “Entertainment Tonight” had him interview the “Oz” cast, noting that his dad starred in “The Wiz.”

“I think Michael would be busting the buttons off his shirt,” Ms. Bell Blue said by telephone. “He would be so proud. Prince is very serious about this, very prepared, and I have been blown away.”

If not exactly a natural, Prince was at least game, doing push-ups with Ms. Anderson to get revved up before his interview, allowing himself to be shown sitting in the makeup chair and revealing some personal details. Appearing in a white untucked dress shirt and blazer, he talked about watching movies with his dad and hoping to attend the University of Southern California.

Ms. Bell Blue noted that Katherine Jackson agreed to let Prince participate on one major condition: it could not be on a school day. (He attends Buckley, a private school where tuition and annual fees run $36,335.) So the show organized a shoot for Presidents’ Day. Ms. Bell Blue said she was the one who hooked Prince up with his acting gig; both “Entertainment Tonight” and “90210” fall under the CBS corporate umbrella.

She wants Prince to appear on her program again. “We’ve talked about a couple of things that he’s interested in doing,” she said, adding: “He will control his own agenda. He is not going to let anybody push him around.”

His next stop may be a courtroom. Ongoing in downtown Los Angeles is a wrongful death trial. Katherine Jackson, Prince and his siblings brought the case against Anschutz Entertainment Group, the promoter of Michael Jackson’s planned comeback concert series. Prince and Paris were both named on the witness list, and one or both are expected to testify later this summer.

5 Life Lessons Paris Jackson can Learn from Lisa Marie

Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley had a lot in common. They were both worldwide music stars who helped create the sound of their generation. But they both struggled with personal and medical problems and they each died way too soon. They also both left behind daughter’s who struggled to find their own way in the world. So what can Paris Jackson learn from the life of Lisa Marie Presley? Hopefully, enough to turn her life around and make things a bit easier in the future. Here are life lessons to be learned from Lisa Marie, who today seems happy and secure.

Make Peace With Your Dad’s Musical Legacy

It’s not clear if Paris Jackson feels the urge to pursue a music career, but the lesson from Lisa Marie on this front is that doing so won’t be easy. You first have to realize that not only will you be compared to your famous parent, but you’re probably not as talented. But the truth is, neither is anyone else. So come to terms with that and use that parental success as inspiration. Being the musical child of a famous musician is never going to be easy. But some fans will be open to your music, if you manage to find a sound that is your own and not a watered-down version of what your father accomplished.
Regardless of the Tension, Stay Close to Your Family

As Lisa Marie can tell you, it’s not always easy. There are estate issues, money battles and the type of angst that surrounds the need for loved ones to protect the legacy and good name of their departed star. But your family can also be the people who know you best and that can be a comfort. Lisa Marie has had periods where she was estranged from mother Priscilla Presley, but they reportedly have made peace with their differences. And that’s what Paris Jackson will need to do, although given her age, it’s a task she can put off awhile until she gets her life on steady ground.

Stay Clear of Public Relation Disasters

Not sure what I mean? Go back and look at the video of Lisa Marie kissing Michael Jackson onstage at the MTV Awards. It was a scene that screamed “PR stunt” and not only did it not fool anyone, it impacted the way that people saw Lisa Marie. But that misstep was a rare one, and she’s learned to be protective of her image and try and manage the press as well as possible. Much has been made of the YouTube videos that Paris Jackson recently posted, but when you look at them they are what you would expect to see from a struggling teen. They’re no different than what millions of other girls post and all that Jackson needs to learn is how to flip that switch on her videos to read “private.” Like Lisa Marie, she is going to have to learn who she can trust not to put her in potentially embarrassing public situations.

Resist the Urge to Pen an Autobiography

Like Lisa Marie, Paris Jackson will at some point be offered the chance to write her life story (so far). The problem is that most troubled celebrities write an autobiography hoping to clear the air. But instead all that happens is that fans and the press latch onto a couple of new facts and bring on another round of painful stories. You want to clear the air and ensure people will appreciate you? Put your head down, have a nice life and the people who care to find out the truth will come to you. They’re the only ones that matter anyway.

If You Find Yourself Dating or Married to the Wrong Guy, Dump or Divorce Him

Exhibit one: Nicolas Cage. Lisa Marie’s marriage to Cage ended almost as soon as it began and there appear to have been multiple reasons why it didn’t work. But one primary reason was that Cage was apparently obsessed with Elvis Presley. Falling for someone who is obsessed with your famous dad should be a warning sign and one that Paris Jackson should heed. If you ask a potential boyfriend what he thought of Michael Jackson and he responds that he’s more into alt-rock, then that is a boy worth pursuing.

In the end, Paris Jackson will have to find her own answers, but perhaps she’ll take some guidance from Lisa Marie Presley and her fellow celebrity kids.

Michael Jackson's family has circled the wagons ... with many family members expressing outrage at the prospect Debbie Rowe could become Paris Jackson's legal guardian ... sources connected with the family tell TMZ.

We broke the story ... Debbie has not made any move to become Paris' guardian after last week's suicide attempt, but she's amenable if Paris wants it. As we reported ... Paris is having trouble connecting with grandma Katherine, and that's one of the reasons she's established a bond with Debbie over the last few months.
JACKSON FAMILY
Debbie Will Become
Paris' Guardian Over Our Dead Bodies


Our sources say ... members of the family believe Debbie's motivation is to put herself in the public eye, as evidenced by her statement to the media after the suicide attempt. As one source said, "If her intentions were pure she'd be speaking to the family."

We're told the family will fight Debbie "tooth and nail" if she attempts to secure guardianship.

The criticism is puzzling, because Debbie has stayed out of the spotlight for years, and her statement about Paris had nothing to do with guardianship -- it was merely confirming TMZ's story that Paris had attempted suicide.

Also interesting ... the family is not suggesting Debbie's motivation is money.

The judge in the guardianship case is currently reviewing Katherine's guardianship to determine if she's able to properly care for MJ's 3 kids.

Keeping it casual: Prince Jackson treats his princess girlfriend Remi Alfalah to low-key dinner at a Beverly Hills cafe

He might be dating a princess.
But Prince Jackson doesn't seem to feel the need for airs and graces.
Instead of choosing a fancy restaurant for dinner, the 16-year-old treated his girlfriend Remi Alfalah to dinner at the low-key Urth Caffe in Beverly Hills on Wednesday.

Brotherly love: Protective Prince Jackson takes on the role of a fatherly figure as he escorts younger sibling Blanket to karate class


Their famous family has been under a lot of stress and strain in recent times but at least Prince Jackson and his little brother Blanket always have one another.
Prince, 16, took Blanket 10, to a karate class and then for some cool Starbucks drinks as the temperatures soared in Calabasas, California, on Tuesday.
And the two boys have obviously formed a close bond while their 15-year-old sister Paris Jackson continues to recover from her recent suicide attempt.




Big brother Prince wore a black 'Gracie' Jiu Jitsu Academy T-shirt with dark cargo pants and sneakers for his day-out with little Blanket.
Prince had his earphones in as he strolled around with his much smaller brother while wearing a large link chain and continuing to wear his hair long.
Blanket meanwhile wore a blue T-shirt and white jogging style pants with dark sneakers as he left karate class with his long locks flowing and with his blue fighting belt over his shoulder.

PRINCE JACKSON
I FEEL THE NEED
FOR SPEED!

Prince Jackson picked up something in his pickup Wednesday -- a speeding ticket.

TMZ has learned ... Michael Jackson's eldest son was nabbed by cops near his Calabasas home for going around 40 mph in a 25 zone.

FUN FACT: Prince was stopped in the area where Justin Bieber and his Lil friends race his Ferrari -- at much higher speeds. FYI -- Justin and the Lils have never gotten a speeding ticket in that area.

As for Prince -- well, the 16-year-old must now dig deep, because the fine is around $250.

Already blowing the $10 billion nest egg he's after ... kids.

HomeRandy Jackson Bitches About Paris -- Debbie Rowe PISSED
8/19/2013 7:50 PM PDT BY TMZ STAFF
RANDY JACKSON
BITCHES ABOUT PARIS
DEBBIE ROWE PISSED

Randy Jackson is pissed that his niece, Paris Jackson, is confined in what he believes is a psychiatric hospital and thinks something really stinks ... but Paris' mom thinks he's delusional.

Randy just tweeted, "I just hate the fact that you [Paris] will probably still be there on my brother's birthday." Randy adds, "She is not psychotic. There is no reason for her to be in a psychiatric hospital this long away from her family."

But we've learned Debbie Rowe, Paris' mom, is livid at Randy and is telling friends that he doesn't know what he's talking about. We're told Rowe said, "As usual, he's grossly misinformed. He doesn't know what he's talking about. He has no idea where she is. She's not in a psychiatric hospital."

Rowe is saying Randy is just bitter because no one wants him to testify in Michael Jackson's wrongful death trial because he's irrelevant.

Debbie Rowe is furious that someone sold pictures of her daughter, Paris Jackson, at a boarding school where she's been for more than a month ... and she plans to sue the people who sold her daughter out ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected with Rowe tell TMZ ... Paris' mom is extremely upset that someone at the boarding school -- located outside California -- has not only sold pictures but information about the girl.

The pictures -- one of which was plastered on Twitter (above) -- were taken a month ago during a graduation ceremony, shortly after Paris arrived. By the way, the plan was for Paris to attend the school on the QT ... she used a pseudonym.

Rowe is beyond angry, telling friends, "These people, including some websites, are screwing with my daughter's ability to get better." TMZ broke the story, Paris attempted suicide in June after taking pills and slitting her arm with a meat cleaver.

We're told Rowe wants TMZ to post her promise to sue, because she wants people at the school and everyone else to stop selling out her daughter for cash.

PARIS JACKSON
I WANT MY BROTHER BACK




Paris Jackson was at war with her brother Prince days before she tried to commit suicide, and we've learned she's now extremely regretful and wants to mend fences.

Jackson family sources tell TMZ ... Paris felt abandoned by not just Prince, but by everyone in her world. When Michael was alive the family bond was unbreakable. But after he died, she not only lost her father, but the family unit disintegrated. She couldn't relate to Blanket because he was too young, ditto Katherine because she was too old, so the only possible soulmate was Prince.

We're told Prince became distant to Paris because he developed other interests -- girls, martial arts and cars. Paris became enraged and the two argued fiercely, which escalated up to the time Paris took a meat cleaver to her arm.

We're told one of the reasons Paris became close to Debbie Rowe is because her mother showed a genuine interest and love for her daughter -- which meant a lot. But Rowe couldn't solve the big problem in Paris' life -- the feeling of abandonment.

Our sources say Paris has recently been telling friends and family she wants to repair her relationship with Prince, and regrets the conflicts that divided them.

Short story ... we're told the fact that Paris is expressing these feelings is great progress.

Paris Jackson ‘Thriving And Happy’ At Boarding School After Suicide Attempt, Chatting To Family Via Video

Michael Jackson‘s only daughter, Paris, 15, is thriving at her boarding school located outside of California, and regularly video chats with her family, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

It’s a remarkable turn around in the teenager’s life, after a suicide attempt earlier this summer.

“Paris is absolutely thriving and happy at the boarding school. She is making friends, and it’s wonderful to see, given the darkness that had taken over her life. Paris regularly video chats with grandmother, Katherine, biological mom, Debbie Rowe, and her brothers,” a family source told Radar.

“Her access to the Internet is strictly monitored. The students at the school come from very diverse backgrounds, and Paris is treated just like everyone else, which she truly loves.”


Radar obtained the first images of the teen that showed a happier and healthier Paris, who is benefitting from her time at a private therapeutic boarding school.

Paris was snapped on July 18 at the school’s graduation ceremony – surrounded by newfound friends who have shared similar struggles, as they bid farewell some of the school’s alumni.

RadarOnline.com is not revealing the location of the rural school to protect Paris’ privacy.

The school bills itself as a residential treatment facilities for troubled teen girls with various problems. Surrounded by breathtaking mountain views and soaring plains, it’s a far cry from Paris’ hectic life under the microscope in Los Angeles.


The plan is “for Paris to remain at the school for the next term. The most important thing for Paris is to have stability, a routine, and be in a safe environment so she can deal with her issues,” the insider told Radar.

Road trip! Prince Jackson bonds with brother Blanket as the pair stop for gas in Reseda, California

He's been spending a lot of time with his girlfriend lately. But that doesn't mean he can't hang out with his brother.
Prince Jackson, 16, took his younger brother Blanket, 11, for a ride on Saturday.
The pair was spotted at a gas station in Reseda, California during a trip to an aquarium store.





The King of Pop's oldest son, who wore a black shirt, army green shorts and black sneakers, reportedly bought a thermometer sensor for his pet snake at the store.
Blanket was just as casual as his big brother in an orange tee and dark blue track stretch pants.
On Wednesday, Prince took his girlfriend Remi Alfalah on a lunch date to Boa Steakhouse in Beverly Hills.


The couple followed up their lunch with a trip to a nearby Petsmart.
Prince and Remi, who is a Kuwaiti princess, met at the Buckley School, an exclusive private school in Sherman Oaks, California, where they are both juniors.
Before dating Remi, Prince was romantically linked to another classmate, Niki Berger, as recently as February.


But life hasn't been all fun and games for the teenager.
His 15-year-old sister, Paris, attempted suicide in June, the same month his father, Michael Jackson, died four years ago.
Paris was recently released from hospital and sent to an out-of-state boarding school to continue her recovery.

Michael Jackson's eldest son Prince rebelling against Jackson family?


Michael Jackson's eldest son Prince is reportedly keen to leave the family mansion and set-up a home for himself.

According to some family members, Prince, 16, has been keeping late hours and ignoring the requests of his grandmother and guardian, Katherine, reported New York Post.

The youngster has a monthly allowance of USD 66,000.

"He's a renegade kid. No holds barred. He's up and out at all times of the night, and I'm concerned, and I think everyone around the situation has to be worried what could happen to this kid," Post said quoting a family source.

Prince often exits the mansion without security and is regularly spotted by paparazzi with girlfriend and schoolmate Remi Alfalah, 17, a princess from a royal Kuwaiti family, the source claimed.

Prince and siblings Paris and Blanket are heirs to Michael Jackson's fortune, estimated at more than USD 1 billion.

Prince is reportedly also keen to marry his girlfriend Remi just to get away from his relatives. The two first met two years ago at the private Buckley School in Sherman Oaks, California.

"He says he has his own money and he can take care of himself. Someone needs to act fast before this thing becomes more of a nightmare," the family source added.

Jackson went out of his way to keep his children out of media glare even making them wear a mask. But, media focus has increased since his death in 2009.

His daughter Paris, 15, is recovering after a suicide attempt in June this year. The children have also been at the centre of a fight between Jackson's siblings and his estate over the singer's will, which leaves everything to his kids.

Michael Jackson - Michael Jackson's kids visited morgue '10 times'
by Bang Showbiz | 01 September 2013

Michael Jackson's mother Katherine has revealed his children - Prince Michael, 16, Paris, 15 and 11-year-old Blanket - visited the morgue around ''10 times'' following his death in 2009.

Michael Jackson's children visited the morgue ''10 times'' after his death.

The 'Thriller' hitmaker died in 2009 and his mother Katherine - who was appointed guardian for Prince Michael, 16, Paris, 15 and 11-year-old Blanket following his passing - revealed they all struggled to come to terms with the loss of their father.

She told Australian news show '60 Minutes': ''Michael's kids went back to the morgue where Michael was about 10 times. When I was in the room, I couldn't go there ... [my daughter LaToya] said the children are all kissing and hugging Michael.

''Even though he is dead they are still doing that.''

Michael's death hit Paris particularly hard, and the teen star tried to commit suicide earlier this year.

Katherine added her granddaughter insisted on having photographs of the singer ''all over her room'' when he passed away.

She sad: ''She was screaming and crying when Michael died saying 'I want to go with you daddy, I don't want to live without you ... I was feeling so bad for her.

''Paris suffered a lot after his death. She had to have pictures of Michael all over her room. Every picture that was hanging on the wall had to be of Michael.''

“I Trust Prince With My Daughter” Says Remi’s Mom

Michael Jackson‘s son, Prince, is behaving like royalty with his girlfriend, real life Kuwaiti princess, Remi Alfalah.

That’s according to Remi’s proud mom, Alana Alfalah, who has told all about their relationship in an exclusive RadarOnline.com interview.

“I trust Prince with my daughter and I’d stake my life on him always being a gentleman with her,” Alana said of the 16-year-old heir of the late King of Pop, who died in 2009.

“We enjoy Prince. He’s exceptional.”

Prince and Remi have been dating for ten months and were recently seen smooching and having lunch together at Boa Steakhouse in Beverly Hills.

Alana said she felt compelled to praise the young man after Jackson family sources complained of Prince being a renegade.

“If he wasn’t such a great kid, I’d continue to keep to myself and not say anything, but if you call being in the honor society, never breaking curfew and helping others a renegade, then that’s Prince,” Alfalah gushed.

“He comes over and he usually has a curfew and he reminds his grandmother sometimes what that curfew is and he always makes sure to leave well ahead of it,” she said.

Last week, some members of the family complained that Prince had been keeping late hours and ignored requests of his grandmother and guardian, Katherine.

They said he wants out of the Jackson family mansion in Calabasas and is even considering marrying his Princess.

But Alana insisted, “They are not at that stage yet. I will say this, even if they were to ever part ways, I’d still have a lot of love and respect for Prince.”

Alana is married to Kuwaiti royalty — but out of respect for her husband and the family’s religion, she declined to discuss him only to say, “My husband is very strict, so Prince must be special for his approval.”

The Al-Falah family is closely connected to Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah of the famed Royal House of Al-Sabah, whose reported net worth is approaching $1 billion. The Al-Falahs travel often to Kuwait, Monaco, Dubai, Paris and various parts of Europe.

Still, Alana has remained low-key and encourages her four children about the importance of education. And she said Jackson matriarch Katherine is similar.

“She’s a lovely woman who really is on top of things,” Remi’s mom said.

Katherine and T.J. Jackson, who both serve as guardians to Prince and his two siblings, Paris and Blanket, have each visited the Alfalah family.

When Prince’s sister, Paris, 15, attempted suicide in June, it was Prince who shouldered the responsibility of making sure his little sister would be okay, Alana revealed.

“He has a lot of pressure with all that has gone on, but he handles everything well. He never speaks an ill word and he cares about everyone,” Alana said.

Remi’s mom said the kids met when her daughter first started attending the Buckley School in Sherman Oaks.

“She was alone and the kids weren’t very nice. Prince just approached her and he started showing her around and they grew close.

“They are serious about their education, the both of them. Look, my husband is from Kuwait and I’m American, he’s very strict, so there is no way he’d allow Remi to see someone who wasn’t doing the right things in life. Prince doesn’t get into trouble, he doesn’t smoke, and he doesn’t drink. We wouldn’t allow Remi to be with just anyone,” Alana said.

Alana revealed, “Prince makes his own jewelry by hand, great pieces and he draws a lot, he’s into art. Both of them are also so worried about nature and animals and Prince is meticulous, always cleaning his car and making sure things are tidy.”

La Toya Jackson: Prince Is a Good Kid

By Carlos Greer

Don't believe everything you read. Despite recent reports that 16-year-old Prince Jackson is rebelling against his family, his aunt La Toya Jackson tells PEOPLE he's doing great.

"He's really great. He's a good kid. He makes wonderful grades," she said Tuesday night at her debut in the off-Broadway show NEWSical.

Jackson, 57, who has been a mentor to Prince since his father's death in 2009, says the teen still wants to become a director.

"He knows that's what he wants to do. He was doing it with his dad, and I'm so happy and proud for him – let them do what they want and choose to do," she said.

La Toya, who is currently filming the second season of her OWN reality show Life with La Toya, says she's better able to deal with reports about her family after Michael's death.

"I don't read the tabloids because to me negative things are bad. I stay away from it because they've always said so many things about my family," she said. "The most misconception is that we're all insane – and we're just normal people, like everybody else."
