Michael Jackson's kids after his death/Abril-December 2013

Is Prince Jackson Dating a Princess

When you're first name is Prince, more might be expected of you than the average Joe. And Prince Jackson, son of late pop star Michael Jackson, is living up to his name: The 16-year-old was spotted out with a princess this week.
According to TMZ, the girl's name is Remi Alfalah and she's a Kuwaiti princess who attends the prestigious Buckley School with Jackson, who also has a part-time gig as a correspondent on "Entertainment Tonight."
So what was the venue for the royal(ish) date? A fancy restaurant? A chartered yacht? Actually, a bowling alley.
The couple was snapped playing a few games at PINZ, a bowling alley in Studio City, California, on Wednesday.

According to the site, Remi was dropped off at the alley by a black SUV, but Prince drove her home afterwards. What a gentleman. But wait, did she insist on sitting in the back?

Whether or not the teens are an actual couple remains to be seen, but we just have to wonder.

Michael Jackson’s Daughter Has Asked to Live with Her Biological Mother


Exclusive: now I will tell you how that story about Paris Jackson spending time with Debbie Rowe, her biological mother, came to be in the press. But first: I can tell you it’s true, and not only that: Paris has asked if she could spend time at Rowe’s horse ranch, according to my sources. I was actually told that Paris asked Debbie if she could live there. Rowe has spent time with Paris recently, and went to her 15th birthday party this week in Calabasas.

How did TMZ get the story they ran? Because I called a mutual acquaintance to confirm the story. And the person I called immediately called in to TMZ with my story. I hope there was some goo remuneration from TMZ. But lie down with dogs, get up with fleas.
TMZ is of course wrong about many things. In 2005, Debbie Rowe’s parental rights to her children, Prince and Paris, were reaffirmed. She went to court and a judge ruled that a parent never gives up parental rights. There had been a question about that since 2001. But at that point Michael Jackson was on trial, bills were not being paid, he was behind in owed amounts to Rowe.

From the time Michael Jackson died in June 2009, Rowe was clear that she would step in with both Prince and Paris if she were needed. She and Katherine Jackson had many cordial conversations about her role in the kids’ lives. Remember: Rowe is their only biological parent. And always was.

It makes sense that Paris would reach out to her mother. Her grandmother is 82 years old. Her aunts– Michael’s sisters–want nothing to do with her. Except for LaToya, who wants to guide her career for commissions.
And Paris is a lot like Debbie Rowe: she’s forthright, she tells it like it is, she’s funny. While she may have been raised very well by Michael Jackson, Paris must certainly be curious about her beginnings and identity. Debbie Rowe could be a great influence on her daughter’s life.

So that’s the story so far. I learned a lesson, and that’s always important. And two of Michael Jackson’s kids may have a chance to be close to an existing, living parent.

King of pop Michael Jackson’s son, Prince, is not embroiled in a “royal romance” with a Kuwaiti Princess, sources told Al Arabiya on Monday.

Reports from tabloid and entertainment news sites earlier this week claimed the 16-year-old could be dating a girl said to be a Kuwaiti princess named Remi al-Falah.

But the first clue to Remi not being royalty, which doesn’t appear to have been picked up by Western press, was her surname.

“Al-Faleh is not a name from the royal family,” a Kuwaiti journalist, who preferred not to be named, said on Monday.

“It is a famous family name in Kuwait. And Remi al-Faleh is not a Kuwaiti princess,” the journalist added.

Earlier this week, TMZ entertainment site posted pictures of Prince and Remi appearing to have fun at a bowling alley and reported the images were taken Wednesday in Los Angeles.

“Remi was dropped off at the bowling alley in a black SUV ... but he drove her home,” TMZ reported, adding that both Prince and Remi attend the same private school, citing a source at the Kuwaiti consulate in the U.S.

“It is said they go to school together, but that’s it,” the Kuwaiti journalist said, adding “I don’t think it’s worth all this propaganda.”

News reports stating that Remi is a princess were circulated mainly by U.S. and UK press throughout the week.

Kuwaiti newspapers also reported the news, but referred to Remi as a “Kuwaiti girl,” not princess, as reported in Kuwait’s al-Seyassah news website on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the Kuwaiti al-Rai newspaper reported that Remi’s real name is actually “Mariam.”

“Remi is a nickname … Her mother is American,” the newspaper stated this week, adding that official Kuwaiti sources in the foreign ministry also rebuffed allegations of her ties to the Kuwaiti royal family.

This isn’t the first time a Jackson family member’s ties to the Arab world have been in the news.

Earlier this year, Janet Jackson and Qatari business tycoon Wissam al-Mana announced they had wed at a “quiet, private and beautiful ceremony.” Janet was trying to fight off rumors that her wedding would be a lavish $20-million affair.

Meanwhile, the late King of Pop himself also had his fair share of coverage on his ties to the Arab world.

Michael Jackson spent time in Bahrain as a guest of the royal family following his 2005 trial on child molestation charges.

In April 2006, a statement was released on behalf of Bahrain music label Two Seas Records announcing he would record a new album for release in 2007.

'He was an incredible father... He wanted us to have what he didn't, which was a normal childhood': Paris Jackson on growing up with the King of Pop

He was the most iconic pop star of the late 20th century. Now Michael Jackson’s daughter, who was just 11 when he died, gives an unprecedented insight into her extraordinary life

'He wanted the best for us,' said Paris Jackson of her famous father, Michael Jackson
Paris Jackson wants to see part of her father’s billion dollar legacy used to restore his Neverland estate for sick children to enjoy, she has revealed.
The schoolgirl has spoken of the happy times she shared at the ranch with her father who died when she was just 11.

She made an emotional pilgrimage to her childhood home two years ago and was dismayed to see its famous Ferris wheel had been removed.
‘I cried and cried,’ said Paris. ‘It’s beautiful there. It still has good energy.'
She said it should be restored for the benefit of less privileged children.
Paris said she plans to start the project as soon as she is an adult herself.

Her declaration will stun the superstar’s millions of fans around the world who have seen Jackson’s dreams for a place of eternal childhood fall into decay.
Paris, now 15, also plans to pay tribute to her father by having the words of a loving note he wrote her tattooed on her wrist when she is old enough.

And until recently she kept a ‘shrine’ to him on the wall of her bedroom in the sprawling home where she now lives with her brothers Prince, 16, and Blanket, 11, in the hills above Los Angeles.

The youngsters are cared for by the Jackson family matriarch Katherine, 82.
‘I have lots of memories of my father,’ says Paris.
'He was an incredible father. We all loved him to death.

Paris has inherited her father's passion for music and revealed that he used to give her dance lessons
'He’d try to educate us as much as he could and was always looking out for us. He was very protective.’
She explained why Jackson made his children wear masks when they were out in public.
‘He didn’t want anyone to see what we looked like.
'That way we could have what he didn’t, which was a normal childhood,’ she said.
She spoke movingly of her father’s attempts to give his family an ordinary childhood even when he was on tour.

This included turning hotel bedrooms into home cinemas with a portable projector and a bed sheet.

The adoring anecdotes cast new light on the singer’s complex private life and underline the depth of his devotion to Prince and Paris, who were born to his ex wife Debbie Rowe, and Blanket who was by a surrogate mother.
The teenager is funded by the Michael Jackson Family Trust which pays out on landmark birthdays and settles family expenses.

It also pays for 15 full-time staff, including bodyguards, a personal chef, two nannies, maids, maintenance men and gardeners at the $26,000-a-month home. Neighbours in the heavily protected, paparazzi proof complex include Justin Bieber and Britney Spears.
Despite her wealth and family name, Paris has started attending an ordinary school, she says: ‘I want to have a normal high-school experience.'

Read the full interview in Event magazine, out Sunday April 14
She has been a cheerleader and played women’s football, and has also dabbled in photography.

She has inherited her father’s passion for music and revealed that he used to give her dance lessons. But she has no plans to follow him into show business.
Her ambition is to be a heart surgeon.
'I want to help people, that’s its,' she said.

Paris spoke to Event as the Jackson family prepares to bring a staggering $40 billion wrongful death civil lawsuit against AEG, the promoter of the Thriller star's ill-fated ‘This Is It’ concerts in London’s O2 arena.

In court documents Katherine Jackson accuses AEG of ‘putting its desire for massive profits from the tour over the health and safety of Michael Jackson’.
She and her elder brother are expected to take the stand to reveal further details of their father's private life when the case comes to court.

Exclusive: Paris Jackson Signed by Leonardo DiCaprio’s Hollywood Manager


Exclusive: I’m told that Paris Jackson the precocious teenage daughter of Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe, is going Hollywood. Sources say she’s signed with Rick Yorn, the very respected manager of Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz, and Martin Scorese, among others. Paris did tell a British newspaper that she wants to be a doctor one day. But it’s also obvious she has thoughts about an entertainment career.

With over 1 million Twitter followers, and a basically sunny disposition, Paris has a lot of potential. Her brother, Prince, has already booked a few gigs via aunt LaToya Jackson. But Paris was persuaded to go a more professional route. There’s a lot going on with Paris anyway. She and Prince are in depositions for their wrongful death civil suit against AEG Live.

Last year, it was basically Paris who sounded the alarm that something up was with her grandmother and legal guardian, Katherine Jackson. It was because of Paris that Mrs. Jackson was returned home, and the Jackson siblings backed off trying to get her money.

And I told you a couple of weeks ago that she and Debbie Rowe are getting closer. I’m told that Paris has even had an overnight at Debbie’s horse ranch in the California desert. So this an all good news report.
Calls to Rick Yorn weren’t returned. But if there’s a further statement I’ll add it. Keep refreshing…

MJ'S MOM
Fears Debbie Rowe Will
Blow Lid Off MJ Paternity

Lawyers for Katherine Jackson have been nosing around ... trying to find out what Debbie Rowe might say under oath about the paternity of the two kids she bore while married to Michael Jackson.

Sources connected to Katherine tell TMZ ... her lawyers have been making a number of inquiries on the eve of the family's wrongful death trial against AEG Live.

We're told lawyers worry Debbie will testify Michael is NOT the biological father of Prince and Paris. TMZ broke the story back in 2009 ... Michael indeed is not the biological father.

Debbie is on the witness list for both Katherine and AEG Live. AEG has taken Debbie's deposition but -- shockingly -- we've learned AEG never asked Debbie a single question about paternity as it relates to MJ.

As for why Katherine's lawyers are so interested in Debbie's testimony ... she's the one who knows the most about MJ and the paternity, and they're worried AEG may try to prove the kids don't have any legal ties to Michael, which could torpedo their damage claim.

Katherine's lawyers have already filed legal docs asking the judge to exclude any evidence of paternity. The judge has yet to rule on the motion.

In the end, none of this may amount to anything because under California law ... when a woman gives birth while living with her husband, the husband is conclusively presumed to be the father, unless he's sterile or impotent.

DEBBIE ROWE, PARIS JACKSON
BONDING OVER A HORSE

Debbie Rowe and Paris Jackson went to the hospital together this past Sunday ... but the significance is more personal than medical.

Sources connected with the once estranged mother/daughter tell TMZ ... they were "hanging out" at Debbie's ranch when one of Debbie's neighbors was thrown from a horse and injured.

Debbie and Paris took the neighbor to the hospital and waited there to make sure he was ok.

Our sources say the two have been hanging out "a lot recently" and they've gotten very close.

You may recall ... shortly after Michael Jackson died, Debbie was given visitation rights. Our sources say Debbie did not exercise those rights for a long time, because she wanted her contact with the kids to be genuine and not forced.

That time has clearly come for Paris and Debbie. We're told they now have "a strong bond."

Michael Jackson's children busy restoring their dad's beloved Neverland Ranch home


SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — Four years ago, Neverland lay in ruins after Michael Jackson’s death. The fair rides were rusting away, the staff had been dismissed and the grounds were abandoned.
But thanks to the efforts of Michael Jackson’s children, the 3,000-acre site is well on the road to recovery.

According to sources close to the estate in Los Olivos, Calif., the family has taken little interest in Neverland and not one person has visited it since his death in 2009 — apart from Prince, 16, Paris, 15, and Blanket, 12.

Paris spoke out last week about her heartbreaking visit to Neverland two years ago to find it in ruins, saying she is determined to rebuild Neverland to its former glory so that underprivileged children can enjoy it.

Pictures prove the children have won the battle of wills with the Jackson family.
At Neverland last week, household staff and security said that Jacko’s siblings or parents have never bothered to visit Neverland since his death. But they only had words of praise for the children, with one security guard saying: “Neverland has been completely revitalized. There’s a full set of staff and people in charge who care about the place.


The bright yellow flowers spelling Neverland have been restored next to the main house, but this time flowers shaped in a butterfly have been added to one bed. There’s also a new section in the gardens of an image of a boy in a moon, similar to Peter Pan — the favorite fairy-tale character of Michael Jackson and his children.

The bustling fairground has been replaced with a tranquil “Zen garden.” The Ferris wheel, swings and other fairground rides have been removed, and expert horticulturists have replaced them with a calm seating area surrounded by lush topiary carved into animal shapes.

Red tail kites, brown eagles and turkey buzzards are nesting in the grounds and grassland, which are irrigated and mowed daily. The fountains and pool has been filled with water again.
“Neverland has never looked better,” said a source. “More staff have been employed — they’ve got full-time gardeners, household staff, proper security and people are now looking after the house like it should have always been when Michael was alive.”

DEBBIE ROWE & PARIS JACKSON
Mother/Daughter Bonding
CONTINUES




The relationship between Debbie Rowe and Paris Jackson is going along full steam ahead ... with Rowe showing up at Paris' school yesterday to see her daughter perform in a dance show.

Debbie was seen walking into the Buckley School carrying a bouquet of flowers ... most likely a gift for Paris.

Paris tweeted about the show yesterday, saying, "closing night was great ! everyone was incredible i love you guys so much and thank you to all the people who came out to see us!"

As TMZ first reported, Debbie and Paris have been spending time together recently, despite the fact Rowe signed away her parental rights to Paris and her brother Prince when Paris was just 3.

PRINCE JACKSON
THE GIRL IS MINE
After Pricey Dinner Date

Prince Jackson stepped up his royal pimp game -- taking his Kuwaiti princess girlfriend out for a fancy Hollywood dinner ... and all signs point to the princess being impressed.

Michael Jackson's 16-year-old son and Remi Alfalah had dinner Friday night at Madeo -- some of the best Italian grub in L.A. -- and judging by the grin on her face ... she gave the date 2 royal thumbs up.

A couple weeks ago Prince and Remi were spotted on another date -- but that was just daytime bowling.

The jump to a high-priced dinner is a clear sign Prince is making, y'know ... progress.

Who's Bad?

PRINCE JACKSON
I'm Not Into Bonding
With My Mom Right Now




Michael Jackson's 16-year-old son Prince Jackson is clearly into girls ... but NOT the grown woman who goes by "Mom" -- aka Debbie Rowe.

Sources with direct knowledge of the situation tell TMZ ... although Prince's sister has developed what we're told is "an intense bond" with the woman who gave birth to her ... Prince has no curiosity or desire to develop a relationship with Rowe ... at least for now.

We're told it's not that he has beef with Rowe ... it's that establishing a relationship with her is not on his radar. His 15-year-old sister Paris, on the other hand, now has a passion for nurturing a relationship with Rowe, and the 2 have spent a good deal of time together in the last few months.

Our sources say there's no conflict between Paris and Prince ... they just have different priorities.

As for Rowe, we're told she would absolutely like to have a relationship with Prince, but -- just the way it happened with Paris -- she wants it to develop naturally ... when Prince is ready.

Prince Michael Impresses '90210' Director
By KRISTA WICK April 26, 2013

Yesterday, ET's Brooke Anderson took you exclusively to the set of 90210 as Prince Michael made his acting debut. Today, we're revealing more from the budding thespian's shoot for the popular CW show!

Pics: Remembering Michael Jackson
Perhaps his lack of nerves had something to do with it, but according to episode director Harry Sinclair, Prince, 16, was praised as a natural actor on his very first day.
"I thought he was great," raved Sinclair. "He's very young but he was able to be totally relaxed and do his performance. It was very unusual and he seemed totally at ease."
Despite his praise, the teen star-in-the-making revealed he doesn't have the stomach to view himself on the small screen.

Pics: Jackson Kids Enjoy Family Fun at Legoland
'[I'm] probably my own worst critic," admitted Prince. "I don't watch myself."
Watch the video for more!
Prince's acting debut on 90210 is set to air May 15 on the CW.

Together at last! FIRST picture of Paris Jackson reunited with her mother Debbie Rowe on her 15th birthday

Paris Jackson grew up without her mother after Debbie Rowe signed away all parental rights to Paris' father Michael Jackson in 2001, when she was just three years old.
But since Michael's death in 2009, mother and daughter are trying to make up for lost time by slowly forging a close relationship.
And the first picture of the pair together has surfaced, showing Debbie with her arm around Paris as they celebrated the teenager's 15th birthday at Ahi Sushi in Studio City, California on April 3, reports Entertainment Tonight.




Paris appeared serene and content as she leaned in close to her mother, a dermatologist's nurse, who looked thrilled to be included in her daughter's birthday celebration.
Paris - the youngest of Michael and Debbie's two children - showed off her edgy style by wearing her short dark hair swept across her forehead and highlighting her eyes with thick black liner.
The resemblance between the pair is clear, especially in the colour and shape of their eyes and their noses.


Debbie has reportedly developed an 'intense bond' with her daughter and the pair have been spending lots of time together in recent months.
The Billie Jean singer's ex-wife supported the teenager, who performed in a dance contest at her school in Los Angeles last weekend, turning up with a bouquet of flowers.
In a recent interview for the Mail On Sunday's Event Magazine, Paris revealed that she had also been shopping with her mother, an activity that her grandmother Katherine Jackson was approving of.







Paris said: 'When I'm with my mom, we don't really have security with us. Which is really nice.'
Paris' uncle Jermaine Jackson recently said he approved of the pair's burgeoning relationship.
He told TMZ: 'I think that's wonderful. The kids need their mum. I think it's great. That's their mother. That's wonderful. That's a good thing.'

Debbie and Michael met when he was a patient at the specialist skin clinic she worked at when he was being treated for his chronic vitiligo.
The pair were married between 1996 and 1999, and Debbie gave full custody of her two children with Michael, Prince and Paris, during their divorce proceedings in 1999.
She later took things one step further in 2001, and relinquished all parental rights to the children, who were just toddlers at the time.

However, after the singer's death in June 2009, Debbie, 54, reached an agreement with Michael's mother - who became the children's' legal guardian - for supervised visitation rights.


The Daily Mirror previously reported that Paris had found it 'easy' to bond with the skin nurse, and had been interested to know more about the dynamic of her relationship with her late father.
A friend said : 'Paris is very inquisitive and found Debbie easy to bond with.'
Meanwhile, it appears Debbie and Michael's son Prince is not yet ready to develop a relationship with his mother.

The 16-year-old budding TV presenter allegedly isn't interested in getting to know his birth mother, but she hopes that they will develop a natural connection much like she did with Paris.

Paris Reunites With Mom Debbie Rowe
By JACKIE WILLIS April 27, 2013

ET has exclusively obtained the first photo of the late Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris Jackson, reuniting with her mother Debbie Rowe.
The two were spotted celebrating Paris' 15th birthday at Ahi Sushi in Studio City, Calif. on April 3, 2013.

According to Rowe, former wife to the late King of Pop, the two celebrated with a day of shopping and quality mother-daughter quality time.
Paris tweeted on her birthday: "Thank you everyone for all the birthday wishes !! you guys are beautiful and i love you !!"

Rowe, 54, married Jackson on November 14, 1996, in Sydney, Australia, and later divorced the music icon in Oct. 1999. They had two children together: Prince Michael Jackson Jr., born February 13, 1997, and Paris Jackson, born on April 3, 1998. Both kids live with Michael's mother, Katherine Jackson, who also looks after the singer's youngest son, Prince Michael Jackson II, age 11.

In an interview with ET this past year, Paris had some advice for kids of famous parents, saying simply, "Stay humble. Don't let things get to your head."
Both Paris and Prince have expressed interest in acting, with Prince Michael already landing a role on the May 15 episode of The CW's 90210. "It was kind of more like just a regular conversation just with a camera in front," the 16-year-old said of his acting debut. "I went to a couple of acting classes for a couple of hours and did some privates."
Michael Jackson passed away on June 25, 2009. He was 49.

PARIS JACKSON
Huddles with Mom
Before Wrongful Death Trial





Michael Jackson's famous daughter/plaintiff, Paris Jackson, spent time with her biological mom Debbie Rowe, on the eve of what promises to be a very difficult wrongful death trial.

As we first reported ... Paris has bonded with Debbie after years of separation. The 2 are spending a lot of time together, and we're told both genuinely want the mother-daughter relationship they never had while Michael was alive.

Speaking of Michael, the family's wrongful death trial kicks off today. Katherine Jackson and MJ's 3 kids are suing AEG Live, claiming the company was negligent in hiring and supervising Dr. Conrad Murray -- who killed the singer with a massive overdose of Propofol.

MJ's family will have an extremely difficult time winning this case, for the following reasons:

-- MJ had a doctor-patient relationship with Murray before AEG came into the picture. Jackson first hired Murray to treat his kids, and then used him for personal issues. Murray had given Jackson Propofol before AEG was involved.

-- MJ was a drug addict who had doctor-shopped for Propofol for well over a decade. He knew the drug so well, he often wanted to help in the administration of the drug.

-- MJ was secretive about his relationship with Murray, never telling anyone from AEG or the "This Is It" honchos that Murray was fueling him with Propofol almost every night for 2 months.

-- AEG execs are not doctors, and arguably they're in no position to tell a doctor what to do.

We'll be in court for the opening statements, so stay tuned.

Paris Jackson reached out to her mother because she was feeling "unloved".

The 15-year-old daughter of the late singer Michael Jackson has been spending time with her biological mother Debbie Rowe, who gave up all parental rights to Paris and her brother Prince Michael, 16, when they were younger, and her family are relieved it seems to have given the teenager a sense of stability.

A source told People: "Paris has been going through a lot of teenage angst and feels a little bit unloved. So about three months ago Paris reached out to her mother and told her she wanted to establish a relationship with her. Debbie was open to it, and [Paris' grandmother] Katherine Jackson is supportive of the developing relationship.

"Right now Paris is happy with the situation as it is."

Paris has spent time on Debbie's ranch in Palmdale, Califorina, helping with her horses and has loved spending time away from Los Angeles.

The source added: "She's enjoyed telling friends how she's helping take care of a pregnant mare on the ranch, and even how she was recently chased by a chicken."

However, Prince Michael has not been so quick to reconcile with his mother.

The insider explained: "He has anger issues with her. He feels like she abandoned him years ago."

Paris and Prince Michael's have one other sibling, Blanket, 11, but the identity of his mother is unknown. (C) BANG Media International

Paris Jackson Puts Her Foot Down! No More Going Door-To-Door As Jehovah’s Witness

Is Paris Jackson defying her grandmother Katherine’s wishes?

Every Sunday, Paris, 15, and her brother Prince Michael, 16, would venture door-to-door in Calabasas, Calif., spreading the word for Jehovah’s Witness.


However, in recent months, the pair has neglected their duties, and RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that it was Paris who put an end to the good deed because she absolutely hated it!

“Paris resented going door-to-door for Jehovah’s Witness, even though it was what her grandmother wanted,” a source close to the situation said.


“So, she dug her heels in a few months back and told Katherine she just doesn’t want to do it anymore — and Paris and Michael haven’t done it since.”

The source added: “Paris just feels she’s more grown up now, and while she’s not renouncing her Christian values,” she doesn’t want to go door-to-door for Jehovah’s Witness forever.”

Paris was also concerned that doing this would make her, Prince Michael and their family appear like the ‘weirdos’ in the area.


“She has her own goals in life now and her own dreams. She wants to continue with her acting career, loves playing the guitar and would welcome the opportunity to follow in her father Michael’s footsteps into pop music.”

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Paris celebrated her 15th birthday with her formerly estranged mother Debbie Rowe last weekend.

It was the first time Paris and her mother have been seen in public together since she was an infant.


The teen was all-smiles as they went shopping and out to dinner.

Michael and Debbie were married from 1996 to 1999 — she gave birth to Paris and her older brother Prince Michael — but when they divorced, she gave up all her paternal rights to the children.

The true paternity of Michael’s three children, including Blanket, has always been a Hollywood mystery and it’s been suggested that concert promoter AEG may even bring the issue up in the defense against the Jackson’s wrongful death lawsuit.

Meanwhile, Paris is expected to testify in her family’s wrongful death lawsuit against AEG, underway in Los Angeles now. More details are in the video below.

Paris Jackson showcases preppy style complete with red beanie as she goes on after school drinks run
By FAY STRANG

PUBLISHED: 11:52 GMT, 2 May 2013 | UPDATED: 12:02 GMT, 2 May 2013

She is usually seen wearing rock inspired ensembles including ripped jeans and band T-shirts.

But it’s not all grunge for Paris Jackson as she showed when she went to pick up a coffee after school in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

Showing she can more than pull off a preppy chic look the 15-year-old wore a grey kilt-like school skirt and a red beanie which added a pop of colour to her otherwise muted ensemble.




The daughter of Michael Jackson looked like any other teenager, apart from the bodyguard beside her of course, as she stopped off to get a drink.

She teamed her dark grey skirt, which appeared to be her uniform, with a light grey jumper, over which she wore a large cream cardigan. .
Completing her all-American girl look she wore a pair of white platform sneakers that looked comfortable.

Her short pixie cut which fell sweeping across her face was covered with a red beanie hat that sat on the back of her head.
It looked as if the young star had stopped off to pick herself up a treat as she was seen leaving with a brown bag.
Paris has been working hard to bring a sense of normality back to her life since the death of her father in 2009.

As well as no longer being home-schooled, she has reconnected with her mother Debbie Rowe who originally signed away all parental rights to her late father.
The mother and daughter we seen enjoying lunch together, just days after they were pictured celebrating Paris’ birthday together.
In a recent interview for the Mail On Sunday's Event Magazine, Paris revealed that she had also been shopping with her mother, an activity that her grandmother Katherine Jackson was approving of.
Paris said: 'When I'm with my mom, we don't really have security with us. Which is really nice.'

PARIS JACKSON
Spends Day with Mom
on Grandma's Birthday


Paris Jackson spent most of Saturday with her biological mother Debbie Rowe -- looking at horses, playing with her hair ... real mother/daughter stuff -- and what's particularly interesting ... they were hanging the same day as grandma Katherine Jackson's birthday.

Paris and Debbie were way out in Palmdale, CA where Debbie lives -- so if Paris saw Katherine at all yesterday ... it wasn't for long.

The belated bond between Paris and Debbie is clearly tight.

Paris Jackson to move in with birth mum

Paris Jackson has chosen to move out of the home she shares with her guardian and grandmother Katherine Jackson and move in with her birth mother Debbie Rowe.
According to Jackson sources, over the last six weeks, the pair have been bonding, with Paris spending her 15th birthday with Debbie in April rather than 84-year-old Katherine and the rest of the Jackson family.

Our insider explained: “Whilst she loves her grandmother Katherine, Paris thinks she has some extremely old-fashioned beliefs.

“It’s been very tough living under their roof and whilst her brothers also feel the same way, it’s Paris who’s recently taken the lead in standing up for her beliefs and defying her grandmother."

Our source also explains that for the first time, Paris feels that under Debbie's supervision she could have a normal upbringing.

In the last few weeks, the pair have been spotted at a pony ranch, enjoying sushi and attending a local beauty pageant in Debbie's hometown of Temecula, California.

“Paris loves the fact that when she’s out with Debbie, there aren’t any security or bodyguards around them," says the source.

"For years she was forced to wear masks, protected by a harem of security and surrounded by entourage.

"She hates that life and knows that was something Michael wanted to protect all of them from. She feels that by separating herself from her grandmother, she could have a more normal life."

Debbie, 54, was married to Michael Jackson for three years from 1996 and is the biological mother to Paris and Prince Michael.

When she divorced Michael in 1999, she gave him sole custody of the children in a rumoured $8 million settlement.

The source adds, "There has been a string of turbulent rows in the Jackson home over the past few weeks and it’s all coming to a head."

It's not the first sign of tensions within the Jackson family, with reports earlier this month stating that Paris has refused to accept her grandmother's strict Jehovas Witness beliefs.

"Paris is an extremely independent young woman and as she’s got older, she’s starting to voice her opinion more and stand up for herself and her beliefs," says the source.

Our insider says that Debbie is calling for a meeting to discuss the legalities surrounding Paris moving in with her.

The source added: “Paris is trying to persuade Prince and Blanket to join her.

Debbie has told her they would all be welcome, but there are certain laws which have to be obeyed and Paris knows that whilst she may be able to leave, it would be far more difficult for the boys due to the legalities.

“Debbie has called for talks between her, Paris and Katherine. She thinks they all need to sit down and discuss the situation to avoid any more rows and try to make any transition as easy for Paris as possible."

Paris is Burning; Michael Jackson Kid Walks Out on Family
Reportedly Ready to Seek Emancipation When She Turns 16


Paris Jackson, the fetching daughter of the late pop idol Michael Jackson, has had apparently had enough Jackson family drama. She’s reportedly staying with her birth mother after a blow out argument with Grandma Katherine Jackson.
The details are sketchy and mostly rumored, but there’s no question Paris has been having a difficult time with her immediate family members.

What’s also known is that she has renewed ties with her birth mother, Debbie Rowe.

Rowe, 54, met the singer while she was working as a nurse for Dr. Arnold Klein, who treated Jackson for vitiligo. He had just divorced first with Lisa Marie Presley. After Rowe said she agreed to bear children for him, she became pregnant and they married in 1996.

She’s the natural mother of Paris and older sibling Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., who is also known as Prince. At the time, she signed away all parental rights for an undisclosed sum of money. They divorced in 1999.

The latest report claims that Paris, who turned 15 in April, has moved out of her grandmother’s home and is now living with Rowe on her horse farm. She spent her birthday with Rowe, according to reports.

But there was no hint of dissension in the family, judging from Paris’s steady steam of Tweets. Most of her posts have been about the upcoming school year.

Paris’s biggest desire is to lead a normal life, without the trappings or burdens of being a celebrity.

Paris is reportedly making plans for a clean break from the family when she turns 16, and can legally apply for emancipation, or the right to live on her own.

“I’m sure when Paris hits 16 she will take herself out of that Jackson clan, walk out of that door and never turn back,” Mark Lester, who is godfather to Michael’s three children, told British magazine Grazia.

Michael Jackson's ex Debbie Rowe spends Mother's Day alone on her farm... despite rekindling relationship with daughter Paris Jackson


She's spent much of the past year getting to know her estranged daughter with pop star Michael Jackson.
But on the day of the year that people around the world celebrate their mothers, Debbie Rowe spent her time alone with her horses at her farm in Palmdale, California on Sunday.
The 54-year-old walked around her dusty compound barefoot as she tended to her precious equines by her lonesome.




The former medical assistant rose to fame in the 1990s after her quickie wedding to Michael Jackson that resulted in his two eldest children Prince and Paris.
But when their relationship ended in divorce in 1999, Debbie signed away custody of her children as part of a multi-million dollar deal.
However, after the singer's death in June 2009, Debbie, 54, reached an agreement with Michael's mother - who became the children's' legal guardian - for supervised visitation rights.

Since then she's enjoyed a budding relationship with her second child Paris, as the pair have been shopping and even spent the teen's 15th birthday together.
The two were pictured smiling as they chowed down on sushi at Ahi Sushi in Studio City, California -- their first since their family portaits of the '90s.
In previous interviews, Debbie has said her previous choice to stay out of their lives was out of respect for the late singer.


'My kids don't call me mom because I don't want them to,' she said in a televised interview with Martin Bashir.
'It's not that they're not my children, but I had them because I wanted [Michael] to be the father.
'My children are with their father, where they are supposed to be. I didn't do I didn’t do it to be a mother.'


After Michael's sudden death in 2009, Paris and her brothers Prince and Blanket were placed under court-mandated guardianship of their cousin T.J. Jackson and 82-year-old grandmother Katherine.
And that's around the time Paris became inquisitive about her mother.
In a recent interview for the Mail On Sunday's Event Magazine, Paris revealed that she had also been shopping with her mother.


Paris said: 'When I'm with my mom, we don't really have security with us. Which is really nice.'
Paris' uncle Jermaine Jackson recently said he approved of the pair's burgeoning relationship.
He told TMZ: 'I think that's wonderful. The kids need their mum. I think it's great. That's their mother. That's wonderful. That's a good thing.'


Debbie has reportedly developed an 'intense bond' with her daughter and the pair have been spending lots of time together in recent months.
The Billie Jean singer's ex-wife supported the teenager, who performed in a dance contest at her school in Los Angeles last weekend, turning up with a bouquet of flowers.
Meanwhile, it appears Debbie and Michael's son Prince is not yet ready to develop a relationship with his mother.
The 16-year-old budding TV presenter allegedly isn't interested in getting to know his birth mother, but she hopes that they will develop a natural connection much like she did with Paris.

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

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.

UPDATE: In any case, Paris is coming to Cannes during the first week of the festival. So she will indeed not overlap with Janet’s visit.

It would also be a good distraction for her while the AEG wrongful death suit continues in Los Angeles.

Michael Jackson’s Daughter Paris To Spend Summer With Birth Mom Debbie Rowe
Hot Deals


Paris Jackson, the daughter of the late King of Pop, is about to ramp up her get-to-know-mom plans, Jackson family sources tell RadarOnline.com.

The 15-year-old has told her 83-year-old grandmother Katherine that she plans on spending a large chunk of her summer vacation with her biological mom Debbie Rowe at her horse ranch outside in Palmdale, Calif, we’ve learned.

“Paris will be with Debbie at her house in Southern California this summer when the school year is over,” an insider revealed.

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

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Paris celebrated her recent birthday with Rowe, who married Michael Jackson in 2006. It marked the first time the mom-and-daughter duo had been seen in public together since she was an infant.

The pair has also bonded over horseback riding on Debbie’s farm.

“This is very important to Paris and while grandmother, Katherine, will miss her over summer, Katherine supports Paris’ plans and keen interest in getting to know her mom,” the source added.

Added the insider: “Paris and Debbie are quickly finding out how much they have in common — a love of animals and being outspoken! Paris definitely takes after Debbie because they are both straight shooters and don’t take any nonsense from anybody.”

Rowe, a former nurse, is the biological mother to Paris and Prince and was married to Jackson for three years.
