Just A Normal Day With The Jackson Clan
Filed under: Baby Blabber > Michael Jackson



It's Mardi Gras every day in the Michael Jackson household!

Jackson and his crew of biological adopted children were spotted yesterday shopping at Off The Wall Antiques in Los Angeles.



Cuz that's exactly what a broke guy should be doing. Shopping for expensive antiques right?



Don't cash your London checks just yet! We're not sure you'll be able to pull off your O2 residency!

As he is prone to do, Wacko had his kiddies dressed up in masks again.

The kids have already been photographed without any masks. Why keep doing that to them? Are they living in a fantasyland as well?

All three children were wearing faces masks. That included eldest son Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr. "Prince", daughter Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, and son Prince Michael Jackson II (the balcony baby).

The family then went to shop at the nearby Ed Hardy store.

Don't worry, we get it. If Michael Jackson was anyone else's dad, they'd be wearing face masks in embarrassment as well.

For the record...I hate the fuck out of these catch all sticky threads with a passion!!!

That being said...

I just listened to Dirty Diana again...for the first time in YEARS!!! But in spite of what I think about MJ personally...and what the if you don't like Prince's new garbage then you're a hater brigade thinks of me!

I just wouldn't be true to me...if I didn't give credit where it is indeed due! I'm posting this to simply say...Mike rocked the fuck out of that song!!!

Wow, the kids are getting really big.

I was just listening to Bad last night! I concur with your sentiment on DD, I'd love to see that done live, though it might not be a top choice among the hardcore fans.

To be honest, I'd be happy just seeing him do solid live performance of MITM and BJ...given that I never got to see him perform before. So that's why I've been haunting these threads lately: I'm not really a big fan, but I'm hoping these live shows work out great and I get to see one.

I also agree that these catch all sticky's kinda stink. But it's also true that we've had too many MJ threads going at once before. Maybe we could at least have one for the O2 shows, and a general one?

Oh it is

Many fans want to see Dirty Diana, The Lady In My Life, I Can't Help It, and Remember The Time

Did they show any of J5 or Michael's performances when they were airing The Best of Soul Train in '07 and '08?

peanut butter goes well with
raisins sultanas and currents

are we up to date yet?

bboy87 said:

Not that I know of, no. The only J5-era performance was part of a "Flashback" segment for a 1980s show.

i just had to post this this is one of the clerest pictures i've seen of michaels kids. prince is so cute!!!!!

heres some more





blanket is adorable too but he needs to pull up his pants and get some shoelaces

cdcgold said:

I'm sayin'!! What is that all about?!

unique said:

Those poor kids, they're going to be so messed up when they have to actually go out into the world as adults. He's damaging them with all the isolation, they probably have no idea how to interact with other kids/people.

Serena said:

We have no idea what they're like, it's been said they're good kids and they are well adjusted though. All people can do is assume and judge when they really have no idea.....

For all we know, they could be quite normal

NaughtyKitty said:

That or he's wearing those candy wax lip things.

bboy87 said:

They might be 'normal' at home but think about if MJ kicked the bucket tomorrow. They've never attended a school, never shopped like a normal person, probably don't have friends, etc., etc.. I'm not saying they're bad kids at all, have no idea, but they certainly have been super-protected and that's not good for developing a self-sufficient adult.

Serena said:

But can't similar things be said about other children of celebrities? it's been said they get along well with other kids. I think they'll be okay

If they don't end up like their godsister, they'll be fine

bboy87 said:

What other celebrities make their children wear masks and veils when out in public? My point is, they have no idea how the real world is, even more so than other celebrities' kids.

Who is their godsister?

Serena said:

And my point is, you don't have any idea how they're everyday world is, when they are not somewhere, where they are surrounded by paparazzi!

you are joking? who is the godfather? pete docherty?

Serena said:

kids wearing masks when out in public isn't normal or natural for and children, regardless of if they are celebrity children or not. no other celebrity children wear masks in public, and i've never seen or heard of any other kids doing it

i understand there are some who say it's the kids choice to wear masks in public, but it's the parents responsibility to teach kids rights and wrongs, and whats normal and acceptable, and what is not, and wearing masks in public is clearly not normal behaviour, so if the kids did want to wear masks in public, then he should stop/persuade them not to

the question is, why would the kids want to start doing this in the first place? especially the older kid that should be grown out of this by now. it would appear that when they were younger they were made to wear the masks by MJ, so if they are free not to wear the masks anymore, they have a deep psychological desire to keep doing what they have been used to and acustomed to doing for years, since an early age

why would they wear the masks? the original intention may have been to hide the identity of the kids, to avoid kidnap attempts, but by wearing such obvious clothing, and masks on top, it means that wherever they go they stick out like a sore thumb and draw attention to themselves, thus making it easier to spot them, thus making a kidnap attempt much easier. it's the same with MJ. if he just stuck on a pair of jeans and sneakers and a ralph lauren shirt, baseball cap and aviators he could probably go around for quite some time before being recognised. dressing up in fat suits or as a female muslim is just going to attract attention. it would therefore suggest that the wearing of masks is an intentional, or perhaps subconscious, attempt at drawing attention to himself for publicity reasons

it's been mentioned many times before that MJ craves the attention, but because he is a pop artist, known for singing and dancing, he isn't critically acclaimed by the respected critics in the same way as artists such as dylan, marley, springstein, the beatles, or even prince, thus most of the public awareness of his current existence is the result of the tabloid journalism that he supposedly abhorrs. if the tabloid press and related media didn't report about him, his memory would fade in the same way as artists like marvin gaye and al green. it therefore suggests that the wearing of bizzarre outfits and masks and making very obvious public trips is designed to draw attention, and alert the paparazzi and get written about in the tabloid media, thus satisfying a lust for attention

there are many other big stars around, and if they want to go around unnoticed, they can pretty much do so, as there are certain places to go where no-one would expect or care about a celebrity too much, and then there are places where the paparazzi hang out as they know it's a celeb hang out. it turns out that those are the places with the stars who want to be seen go, to increase profile, whilst the big stars wouldn't be seen dead in those places. MJ would be out of place in most places, but particularly in a celeb hotspot, thus dressing strangely, wearing masks and taking a security entourage to a shopping mall or store is his take on celebrity slumming for the paps

what that is doing for his kids is anyones guess, but i don't anyone would agree it's healthy. they don't go to school like normal kids, they don't even have friends like normal kids, and the man who has parental custody of them has the reputation of probably the strangest man on the planet, which two high profile child abuse cases behind him. i'm sure they are purposely kept a sheltered life as a result of this to "protect" them. i can only imagine that when they are old enough to escape from the clutches of the family, that they will end up in celebrity rehab a number of times after rebelling from the enforced lifestyle they had been brought up in, in a similar way to how MJ has reacted to his upbringing, but with the results closer to those of the celebrity drop out kids like the osbournes. when they are old enough to find out and read for themselves about MJ, it's going to seriously mess with thier heads, and it appears they have already had a life of that. the odds of them making it to their 22nd birthday party aren't particularly good

Tito wants Jackson 5 reunion at O2

Tito wants Jackson 5 reunion at O2



Tito Jackson has reportedly said that he would like to be part of a full reunion of The Jackson 5 at the O2 this summer.

The singer is interested in joining his brother Michael on stage at some point during the star's 50-date residency at the London venue, Contactmusic claims.

Tito said: "I will definitely be there to watch Michael. I hope he would invite his brothers on stage, if they are all ready, willing and able.

"We will be here and supporting our brother. If we're invited [to perform] we definitely will. Yes, I think somewhere in his heart there's a space."

Last year, former Celebrity Big Brother contestant Jermaine said that the Motown group would reform during 2009, claims confirmed by sister La Toya on this year's show in January.

they are all coming out of the woodwork now. i doubt freddy, joe, leon, randy and sleepy will get involved at this late stage. they looked like they had came out of cryogenic space suits at the 30th anniversary gig, but a few years later after being on the worst "reality" shows the world could shit into creation, they wouldn't be recognised by anyone anymore who doesn't watch brain numbing nonsense. if they did perform it would probably be the same fucking medley he's been doing the past 30 years, sounding exactly the same in it's lipsynched glory. next latoya will want to design the backstage area, that's if she is still alive
