Michael

Janet could raise the kids I guess, but considering she still has a career, maybe, as a said, someone like Jermaine or Marlon could look after them. Katherine and even Diana are too old really. Particually Katherine. Its not fair on the kids if she dies....

Nice of Marlon to mention Brandon. That was touching. Not that I know any of them, but he seems like the nicest of the lot.

Anyone see US Weekly

Arguably 3 of the biggest stars of the 80's in one shot. I love this pic:-

those kids will be blessed to have her in 5 or 6 years they will practically be adults. her wisdom will guide them thru their teen years. no one will protect your kids like your mom. i'm sure she is working hard now so that her shield of protection will live on with them after she is gone.

y'all actin like they are infants....give me a break

Iam not bothered if they are his kids boilogically or not. He raised them, he legally made himself their Dad. These stories coming out are rather horrible, but it was bound to happen.

if anything mike was too trusting- now this dude is backtracking after mike's death. klein is a punk- he would not have dared spoken any hint of being those kids daddy- garbage...

suga10 said:

Is it me or does Paris and Prince look like the doctor?

Evvy said:

Not to be nasty, but Katherine could die in a number of years. Blanket would lose yet another guardian. Yes the older 2 will probably live to see 18 plus before Katherine goes, but Iam just saying she is abit too old to be looking after 3 kids personally. Iam not questioning Katherine's parenting skills, just thinking about if she dies. Also, the kids have many uncles and aunties who they could go to instead. Just questioning it.

i'm sure his punk butt sold these photos- how yo punk @ss gone be invited to someone's house- you sit yo greasy cheesin butt up there eating his KFC and then 2 seconds after his death you "breakin silence"

tommorrow is not promised to anyone- look at what happened to their father

Evvy said:

Im sure he was offered a great amount of money, Fucking bastard.

thesexofit said:

I agree. Similar to Michael, Marlon has always seemed to be a very kind and loyal man. I think he would be a good guardian for the children, and make sure they always love and respect their father. Janet would be great too, but her lifestyle on the road and with Jermaine Dupri may get in the way of her teaching and watching over them properly.

None of them compare to Michael though. Whoever they end up living with will not fill the void I know they feel after losing their loving father.

I think Janet will be the best to raise those kids.

they will all pitch in and help under the stability, wisdom and watchful eye of Katherine

I agree Katherine is too old to raise those kids, BUT, my gran partially raised me from when I was 2 to when I was 7 and she was in her 70s. She died when she was close to 100. You never know. I think Rebbie should get those kids. She doesn't live in LA, right? Those kids would have a normal life.

That pic of Phil, Lionel and MJ-where was that taken?

I have always assumed and from what I have heard, it was more MJ who has had hard feelings toward P. P has been nothing but generous in his public comments toward MJ and to be honest, I doubt P has ever really given MJ much thought

From Part 6:

Man, after watching J's profile while she was waiting for Rebbie and LaToya to finish talking to the Nokia crowd, there's no doubt i'd be calling her Mama.

As much as i don't like Joe, he did do a couple of good things for the Jacksons after they got famous.

1) He never ripped off his sons (parents of child stars often do rip off their kids it seems. Look at Mcauley Kulkin for example).

2) This one is more debatable, but Joe definately instigated moving from Motown to a much better contract with CBS in the mid 70's. Remember, Motown never kicked the Jackson 5 off their label, so it took balls to front this move. As we know, in the late 70's and 80's, Motown was pretty much a shadow of its former self. The Jackson 5, if they had stayed, would have probably faded away into obscurity, still not being able to write and produce their own stuff. Sure, Joe was not the only one who wanted to leave Motown, but he did get them a good deal at CBS. One way or another, he did care about the group, even if he was riding on MJ's coatails (which Michael slowly began to realize himself).

That would be great as well.

But tell me this then, we know his siblings would be well-equipped to raise them but why do you think he only put Katherine and then Diana?

Has to be a reason...

Right?

Yeah I know its Michael's wishes, but its just my personal opinion.

i thought doctors were supposed to keep a patient's confidence? i guess all these peeps were just waiting for mj to die so they could really cash in.

the 'good' doctor - intimating that the kids are his; even if they are, he agreed to be the donor, so unless he's willing to take responsibility for them, he should stfu. (i see a dna test in these kids' futures.)

al malnik's family - wife claims the pix we're now seeing on the net and elsewhere were 'stolen'. yeah, right, the pix that you've had in your possession for years have been stolen all of a sudden.

nanny grace - claims that she did not give an interview to some tabloid reporter, but somehow was at the woman's apartment with her as her guest.

raymone - will probably continue her lawsuit against mj, in spite of signing an agreement stating that he had paid her all monies due and she had no further claims on his estate.

i hope that mj does own the masters to his recordings; the estate is going to need that revenue just to keep up with the litigation on the horizon.

Look at Blanket.

People really need to stop saying Blanket is not Michael's son. I mean come on. Now that we are able to see his face, he is clearly a little twin of his father, but just has straighter hair and lighter skin.

Prince I resembles Michael to me too. The way he holds his mouth when speaking, for example, is just like MJ.

And Paris unfortunately looks identical to Rowe. That does not mean she is not Michael's daughter though.

I wouldn't want any of the brothers raising those kids and definitely not Latoya's crazy ass and Janet I don't think so. Rebbie would be the best choice. Is she still married?

thesexofit said:

I know, I was wondering myself why but apparently this should confirm that while they may have loved each other, Michael didn't particularly trust anyone but those two women he left in his will besides his children.

That's all I'm saying.

kibbles said:

Nobody gave a fuck, you're seeing that now. The dollar signs are the only thing they see nowadays. They're still trying to feed off the "meal ticket of pop".

Klein is trying to say he's not the kids father, yet at the same time he's suggesting that he is related to them- by giving a photo of him and MJ and the children.

Another jerk trying to cash in on MJ's death.

Why the hell does US weekly care about who's the biological father of the kids? MJ raised those kids and he's their father- no matter what- whether he's the biological father or not.

Theres zillions of pics out there. This looks like from the "moonwalker" film.



More...





OK, the grammy pic with Collins and Lional I posted above is nice I think, but this is just bizarre. Dylan is posing bigtime whilst Willie Nelson looks pasted in. Bruce looks uncomfortable LOL
