Michael Jackson’s Kids Are “Doing Wonderfully”

Judge Says Michael Jackson’s Kids Are “Doing Wonderfully. All seems to be well at Grandma Jackson’s house.

During a hearing Friday, the judge overseeing custody matters for Michael Jackson’s three children declared the kids to be “really doing wonderfully with the grandmother as the guardian.”

Katherine Jackson was granted permanent custody of Prince Michael, Paris and Prince Michael II (aka Blanket) in August. Debbie Rowe, biological mom of Paris and the other Prince, agreed to visitation rights after initially making it seem as if she was going to go after a more substantial role in their lives.

Attorneys for Jackson and Rowe were in court today.
“It was an excellent report,” L.A. Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff said of the status report he received. “I am not inclined to set another date” on the guardianship matter.

Also today, Beckloff extended Jackson estate executors John McClane and John Branca’s administrative powers until at least Jan. 4, 2010, which allows them to accept or reject creditors’ claims against the estate.

Katherine has objected to Branca and McClane’s status as administrators, and another hearing is set for Nov. 10 to discuss whether there should be a trial.

Michael Jackson’s youngest son Blanket cries to sleep

Washington, (ANI): Michael Jackson’s youngest kid ‘cries himself to sleep and keeps asking where his daddy is’, according to sources. The King of Pop’s seven-year-old son Prince Michael II, a.k.a Blanket, is said to be having a hard time coping with the tragic loss of his father.

“He cries himself to sleep and keeps asking where his daddy is,” Contactmusic quoted a Jackson family friend as saying to Britain’s Sunday Times Magazine. “His aunt Rebbie spent the first few nights sleeping on a cot bed beside him because he was scared to sleep alone. He acts pretty wild during the day,” the friend added.

The singer’s three children, Prince Michael I, 12, Paris Katherine, 11, and Blanket are presently under the care of legal guardian and grandmother Katherine. Paris is allegedly coming to terms with reality in her own way.

The source added: “Paris does a lot of reading and watercolour painting and hair-braiding with her cousins, who visit every day and she speaks regularly to a handful of friends on her mobile phone.”

But the eldest, Prince, is purportedly spending unusual amount of time playing computer games, leading Katherine to restrict his time on the internet. The source added: “Katherine makes sure that internet access is monitored and time-limited around the house.”

Joe Jackson Wants Michael’s Kids to Tour as ‘Jackson 3′

Michael Jackson’s father, Joe Jackson, is lining up the King of Pop’s children for a world tour as The Jackson Three — despite family members accusing him of trying to “exploit them like Jacko.”

Former Jackson Five manager Joe is said to have approached Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11, and seven-year old Prince Michael II — known as Blanket — to hit the stage next year.

But one of Jacko’s familymembers is said to be “livid” at the scheme, which will add fuel to the bitter custody battle for the youngsters.

Jackson’s biographer Ian Halperin said yesterday: “Joe wants the children to go on a world tour in 2010. He has also already offered recording contracts to two of Michael’s kids. Now he is talking about getting them the world’s best backing band and taking them on tour as The Jackson Three.”

Halperin said yesterday his source for the allegations is extremely close to the family and may soon speak out publicly — out of concern for the future of the youngsters.

Jacko has claimed former boxer Joe Jackson beat him as a child — and the fear of him made him “regurgitate.”
Sister La Toya has also told of the “constant threat of violence” that Joe Jackson imposed on his children.
