Didn't she have health problems a few years back? Sorry, but that woman shouldn't be allowed to raise a chia pet. She couldn't even turn out one normal kid and look how many she had.

Maybe now, the truth of parentage will come out. I know biracial children can look "full" race one way or the other, but his are just a bit too far to one side, considering his genes.

Guess Joe will have some new blood to fuck up.

I don't think Michael's mother won't survive him long.

Doesn't surprise me that they say he was badly into rX drugs. He seemed to live on a totally different lonely planet.

I agree. If there are so many people in the 'normal world' who can't handle shit, stress out about everything under the sun and rely on anti-depressants and what not, I can't even imagine what huge celebrities like Michael Jackson go through. I think I know more people on anti-depressants (than off) and people who need a little cigarette or a drink to calm their nerves. It's amazing how fragile we as humans truly are. I've known so many goddamn hypochondriacs who get a pain and need to pop a Motrin or some pill to feel okay. Self-medicating is rampant, not just in MJ's world, even in every day life: family, friends, co-workers, etc...look around you.

I don't knock MJ. The guy was acquitted of molestation charges many years ago and last I knew, this was a country where you are innocent until proven guilty. You have your day in court and afterwards, like it or not, abide by what the law decides. It's not up to me to crucify the dude. All I know is that even with his faults and all, yesterday and today, Michael stopped the news worldwide, all over the globe. Not too many people can do that. My hat's off to him. He gave me, as a consumer, as a regular citizen, some good times and great memories through his music.

Poor thing, won't. Parents should never have to bury their kids...

I have to say that I am remembering how spoiled I was as a child because I asked my mom for a lot of MJ's crap, and she always got it for me. I think I have to go searching, but I'm sure a lot of my stuff is around, in nice condition...ebay!

RIP I feel like part of my childhood died with him. I watched Thriller every hour on the hour when it premiered. Whatever his problems this was a truly talented man and I feel for his children at this time.

After Michael Jackson's sudden passing, the singer's three children "are doing fine," says Brian Oxman, the Jackson family attorney for 20 years.

"They are in the care of a nanny," he tells Usmagazine.com, adding that they're staying with their grandmother, Katherine. "Ms. Jackson will care for them and I'm sure there will be all kinds of discussions that will take place about the kids."

The children – Prince Michael II, 7, Paris, 11, and Prince Michael, 12 - are "just beautiful," Oxman says. "They're well-trained, well educated and extraordinarily talented. They get to play with their cousins and their nieces and their nephews. They are just smarter than smart can be."

Oxmon tells Us Jackson family members are still struggling to cope with the shocking loss.

"They are stunned," Oxman tells Us. "They are barely even able to speak about it."

Oxman was with the family at the hospital (mother Katherine, brothers Randy and Jermaine, and sister LaToya, arrived separately at the hospital for vigil).

"They were silent, they were crying, they weren't really able to say anything," he says. "They just were stunned by this whole experience."

Adds Oxman, "I know that they are now all together."

This is the report- it looks like that the rest of the family migh help out although their grandmother is their touchstone.
I think who has the kids will get access to whatever is left of his fortune. I think this is another Anna Nicole Smith in the making.

I guess I'm struggling with that part how do they have nieces and nephews? Maybe I'm just being stupid. I'm glad the kids are doing OK though.

The_Sponge: Years from now, my children will ask me, "Where were you when Michael Jackson died?"

"On the internet with a bunch of strangers, making snarky comments."

SilentStrider: you say that like there's any place else worth being.

That Oxman dude is talking out of his ass, because the news just said those kids had no contact with Jackson's family, other than the grandmother. That they were notified about their father's passing by a lawyer, and a social worker.

I was wondering if he outed the fact that maybe Michael had an illegitimate child real young and that kid sometimes hung out with his other kids. Conspiracy theory!

IDK I feel like Liz Taylor could probably be the most beneficial for the kids. No she's not young but you're telling me she couldn't hire a bunch of nannies and provide them with a ton of love. She's probably the ONLY one who would respect Michael's wishes in raising them. She gave Michael love and acceptance that his own family didn't it appears.

[greysfang]

Liz Taylor?! That's very very random of you.

[shedevilang]

Yeah I'm sure Liz would keep them covered in public and hang them off balcony's just like MJ did. I'm also betting that MJ didn't have an illegitimate child as these kids aren't his either, I'm just waiting on t he real dad to come out now
