I mean, MJ buys them from whomever so that he can look more 'normal' only give up that ghost.

Now, Latoya's trying to make up for her music career.

Also shame on own and oprah.

Prince Jackson sports bloody gash on his first day of work on 90210 set... days after it was cancelled

By Daily Mail Reporter

PUBLISHED: 16:50 EST, 4 March 2013 | UPDATED: 18:02 EST, 4 March 2013

As he arrived on the 90210 set for his first day of filming, Prince Jackson was surely feeling excited.

After all, it's not every day you land a guest spot on a popular TV series.

Sadly for the teen it's unlikely there will be a repeat experience - the teen drama has been cancelled.

First day at work! Prince Jackson films his scenes for 90210 accompanied by his aunt and manager, LaToya

All made up: Prince spent time in make-up before emerging with a painful-looking gash painted onto his face

Prince, 16, arrived on the Los Angeles set in a white T-shirt and jeans, his long hair brushed back.

He then spent some time in make-up, having an ugly gash painted onto his face.

His visit certainly seemed to cheer up the crew, who were seen smiling as they welcomed him.

Prince's role will be one of the last they film - after stars Michael Steger, AnnaLynne McCord, Shenae Grimes, Tristan Wilds, Jessica Stroup, Jessica Lowndes and Matt Lanter paid a final farewell to the show after five series last week.

But the stars made sure to drop in on Prince while he was filming - they were pictured smiling as they filmed a few last scenes.

Also there was Brooke Anderson of Entertainment Tonight, who interviewed the teen about his role.

Jackson will be portraying a trauma victim in the triage area of an accident scene.

Prior to filming his scene, Jackson revealed to Anderson that he prepared for his role by running his lines with his cousins, the director and his aunt.

It was announced last week that 90210 will come to an end on May 13, with TV Line reporting that ratings had slipped from a million viewers to under 600,000.

As the son of the late singer Michael Jackson Prince grew up in the limelight, but this is his first acting role.

He was joined on set by his watchful aunt, LaToya Jackson, who is working as his manager.

According to the New York Post, Prince, 16, Paris, 15, and ten-year-old Blanket are the only clients of her new talent agency Ja-Tail Enterprises, with LaToya taking 15per cent of royalties.

And insiders tell the paper LaToya is hawking a proposed reality show featuring the trio, with bidding led by Oprah Winfrey's OWN network at $10million.

The 56-year-old was at Prince's side as he made his debut as Entertainment Tonight's 'special correspondent' last week.

And his sister is slated to shoot her first movie later this year in London.

LaToya's involvement in her niece and nephew's lives comes after many members of her extended family were barred from the Calabasas home of the trio last year.

Pleased to meet you! Prince and LaToya are welcomed to the set

Keeping an eye on him: LaToya is Prince's new manager, and is masterminding her move into showbusiness

Latoya Jackson came out swinging Monday following a report that she is managing the kids’ careers and was close to persuading Oprah Winfrey’s OWN network to cough up $10 million for a show staring Paris, Prince and Blanket.

The siblings will appear in one episode of LaToya’s own reality show, “Life with LaToya,” which makes its debut April 13.

my question is how much did they pay to have his pie face on 90210

Man, this isn't good...especially the reality show involving a ten year old.

What career, lol?

Jack Gordon was nothing but a thug. Good riddance.

This thread should be "HOW MUCH is Latoya looking to profit off Mike's kids?"

Love her but she knows how to make a dolla holla, and that thread starting pic says it ALL!

Janet wanted to study business law. All I keep thinking is how no one seemed to know of her true ambitions back then. She seemed to have ambitions as an entertainer. Paris seems to have ambitions as an entertainer.

I wouldn't be surprised if she tried to make Paris become a singing reality show judge, taking advantage of her love for older music and appealing to the teeny boppers who are like her in music taste. Actually, now I don't think it's bad idea, though I do think they should finish school including post secondary. I think that is something mj never got a chance to do and was planning to study art history later in life.

Oh yeah, he's a magnificent artist, and I think I do recall talking about his desire to be an artist.

last summer,when the other Jacksons were acting like fools,we all thought that LaToya was the smart,sane one I guess we were wrong,lol

Whether or not her motives are ethical or completely altruistic is one thing (I say likely not ). But out of all those lazy kids, outside of Michael, Janet, and bluesman Tito, she is one of the few who will get up and work to pay for her own lifestyle, even if it means shilling sheep placenta face cream in Mongolia. She is a pro when it comes to exploiting her name to wheedle companies out of million dollar paychecks for endorsements and testimonials. It's such a 70's thing I'm actually not offended: it just reminds me of the days we used to see the stars hawking everything from Poli-Grip to Geritol to Depends...or Playtex 18 Hour Bras & Budweiser. As long as those lazy boys don't get ahold of 'em I think the kids could actually survive under Toya without having her steal all their money. She might pimp 'em a bit, but given that 2/3 of the trio want to be in show business, I'd rather see them under Janet's wing or Hustler Toy than say, those elder UncleBabyDaddy Jackson men. Best casescario is that they will simply stay put with the cousin they're with now.

Yeah, I was laughing when CNN was soooo shocked with his "drawings of chairs" when we already knew he draws ala Dancing the Dream

Even Latoya wanted to go to school to do business law or be a nurse. I think he may have wanted them to go to school and do what he didn't do, though it's interesting to wonder whether he would have acted like a stage dad as Joseph did with the kids. After all, Joseph's band didn't work out and then the kids came along and he made something out of them when he saw they enjoyed music.

What DOES she do? I know she can't be living off "Heart Don't Lie" royalties for this long! Or Reggae Nights!

Most of those companies she was with before like the psychic line was because wack gordon stole her identity and did this for years after she left him.

Sometimes I really think she was famous the way Paris Hilton was, for simply showing up somewhere with nothing to offer, even if she has a few nice tunes. I do like her kookiness at times.

Y'anno?

Look at Diana Ross's daughters: they not only went to college, but graduated from Ivy League universities!!!! While Tracee and Rhonda took a minute to decide they would full on pursue show business, they at least grounded themselves first with degrees. Chudney (sp), from what I understand, is an educator (?).

Latoya has been specializing in G-list endorsements for foreign companies and products since the 90's... though I don't think she's had anything on the table for a few years now. But she doesn't need to. She exploited herself well enough into financial security 20-25 years ago. That's a woman doesn't show up anywhere unless a check is involved in exchange for the usage of her family name. As for that horrendous little man she was married to, he didn't steal anything . I have no comment on their marriage, but in my view, she was a willing participant in everything she was involved in business wise and was treated like royalty wherever she went; even for something as stupid as plugging cheap carnival looking merchandise related to her country album, to beauty serums in former Russian block countries whose names we can't pronounce.

Back when Latoya was hustling like this, it was the time before the Internet took over our existence on planet Earth, & tons of celebrities from A list to Z were whoring themselves out then to secure dough for their futures. The mainstream wouldn't know about these projects because they were working for companies and products that weren't even based in America.

I met the former Mr& Mrs Gordon in the 90's for one of those whack ass deals he had in place for her through a South Floridian production company. i know her paychecks during that decade were HUGE. Plus, just as many celebrities do, she received whatever clothes or jewels she wanted from the projects as "gifts" ( I recall in particular she was very fond of all the Donna Karan items we pulled from Saks for her, and a jewelry piece that was not cheap. These items can always be offset in cost as a production expense) They (as in the both of them) exploited the Jakson name for deals that were $1 million + , and yes, companies were willing to pay for any piece of the Jackson mystique they could get their hands on. $1-2 million wasn't even that much at that time; Latoya was pulling in the same amount for endorsements &, testimonials & informercials as Racquel Welch (who just before, I finished my last production job working on some beauty cream endorsement with a company owned by some Peruvian witch closely aligned with my former beastmaster boss from South America)...

if you're smart, when you find yourself sitting on 5 or 10 million dollars, you invest money like that into diversified interests for you to live off of. And one thing that I gathered from being in Ms. Jackson's presence is that that soft voice and giggly smile is an act. She is very well aware of what is going on around her at all times with eyes in the back of her head, and if she must, she will speak with authority in just one sentence and everything that needs to be understood... will be. If she knows nothing else, she knows how to pitch and shill a product, even if it's Brasilian Roach spray. Girlfriend does not strike me as someone who would be wasteful or stupid about money, either- she's way too clever for that...and I imagine a lot of that must come from the fact that she's so observant of everything and everyone around her; you can practically see wheels turning in her head at any given moment. Y'all get too easily distracted by that Minnie Mouse voice and those giggles, which I admit she does publicly to great effect.

And when she asked him what he wanted for his birthday he replied that he "just wanted to work?"

Honestly, no one even THINKS that when they are making a birthday wish. Latoya did not celebrate birthdays growing up, so she wouldn't know.

Is she looking to profit? No doubt. And what in sam hill can she do for them? Her own career has been in the toilet for the last 30 some years. No, I'm wrong. WHAT career?

The first thing she needs to do is guide Prince in better eating & exercise habits. He's on his was to being a porker.

The little one looks like he thinks so. She's nutty, but I can imagine her being good with kids all things considered.

Yeah I know Latoya has made a career out of showing up at random Q-list celebrity events overseas and shilling any wack product that was offered to her-just because she's a Jackson/Michael Jackson's sister since the 90s. Out of all the siblings, she has rode the Jackson family coattails the hardest. She figures that a minor thing like having absolutely zero talent wont stop her from cashing in on her family name and getting a piece of that money pie. And she's got no shame to her pimpin game

There was a time when I didnt mind her hustle, even kind of respected it. I thought well at least she's making her own money--and by what you posted it sounds like she was making big bucks back in the day. But tbqh, her constant cashing in on her family has gotten really tired with me. Has she ever tried to come out with a product of her own? Like say a line of jewelry, clothing or perfume? Yes I know she doesnt have to if there are companies willing to pay her thousands just to lend her famous last name to their weird and shady products. But she should try to branch out from that and come up with a product or idea that she has either created or co-created with someone else imho. Latoya has to have some kind of talent inside her. Obviously its not singing/performing, but who knows what other kinds of creative talents she might have? I just think its a shame that instead of developing or using whatever talents or ideas she may have she chooses the easy make-a-quick-buck-by-selling-out-her-family-name-and-business way instead.

Paris, Prince & Blanket DO NOT need that kind of example and influence in their lives trying to "help them" with their so-called showbiz career aspirations. Make no mistake, Latoya's plans are not helping anyone but herself! Latoya isnt stupid, she knows exactly what she's doing and she knows that in order to get her niece & nephews to go along with her plans she has to play the role of the caring, supportive aunt who wants to "help them" break into the biz She is not looking out for their best interests, she is looking out for her intere$t$ and her intere$t$ only. As for the other family members from what I can see they all (with the exception of Randy) seem to be doing their own thing. Tito has his own group that plays steady gigs, Marlon is in real estate, Jackie is doing...something I think he released a single online last year? Jermaine along w/Marlon, Tito and Jackie are doing the Unity Tour right now and Jermaine recorded an album that was just released overseas I think? I know its not a whole lot but at least they are not taking advantage of their niece & nephew's trust and straight up pimping them for their own gain. Just because Prince and Paris have expressed some interest in working in the biz does not mean they should go on Entertainment Tonite as a correspondent, have cameos on TV shows and signing movie deals. They have plenty of time to do all that when they are older and when they know for sure that this is the route they want to pursue instead of being strongly coerced into going down that route right now.
