Michael Jackson Fans Banned from Gravesite?
With the first anniversary of Michael’s Jackson’s June 25 death approaching, there are reports that Forest Lawn Ceme- tery in Glendale, Calif., is taking steps to ban people from gathering near the site where the “King of Pop” is laid to rest.
Those who linger on the patio of the Great Mausoleum (in photo) will be asked to move on,, according to TMZ.
A Forest Lawn spokesman tells AOL Travel, that M.J. fans are still welcome to pay their respects, but there have been “some alterations of what we will permit. ” He declined to give specifics.
“We’re reviewing all options at this time and haven’t really made any special accom- modations for the month of June,” the spokesman added.
The mausoleum itself is not open to tourists. But the cemetery is public and vis- itors are allowed on the grounds. In fact, many tourists visit Forest Lawn to see the gravesites of the rich and famous. Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable and Walt Disney are also among those buried there.
According to the Forest Lawn website, the Great Mausoleum gets architectural in- spiration coming from the world-famous Campo Santo in Genoa, Italy, and was called the “New World’s Westminster Abbey” by Time Magazine. The mau- soleum has a stained glass reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci’s “The Last Supper” and replicas of Michelangelo sculptures.
Michael Jackson fans have been gather- ing at the site since he was buried there last September.

The Official Michael Jackson Fans of Southern California: You can leave gifts but not at Holly Terrace doors. You might have to leave them somewhere near the front gate or with security
8 hours ago

Here is a post from a fan that went to FL on monday

"There is a new rule, we are no longer allowed on the terrace. Security guard the area. If people don´t cam down and behave, we will all be banned... I talked to a security guy today and they are getting sick of everything going on around Michael."

" I was there today and yes, there is a new rule, we are not allowed on the terrace. If people don´t start behaving, they will close us out. I talked to security myself today. People have been taking pictures through the doors and acting inappropiate.

IMPERSONATOR EARNEST VALENTINO'S STATEMENT

Monday, May 24, 2010
To All MJ Fans Around The World

I have been informed about rumors circulating around Michael`s death, and his appearance at the 02 arena in London by which fans believe that was not him so i come before you to debunk all speculations, and skepticisms surrounding such matters.

First i like to say that was indeed Michael at the 02 arena for i was there, and saw him, but unfortunately i can not say more than that due to confidentiality agreement, but what i can say is that Michael never had an "OFFICIAL" body double although he has used impersonators for different reasons, but would never use them for official public events, press conferences, and especially performing on stage unless the purpose was for tricks, but even then sometimes Michael would use one of his dancers since the face would not be visible.

I want to tell you as a fact that no one on this planet looks identical to Michael Jackson, and if you see photos of someone who looks as such then believe me when i say the photo has been heavily photoshopped so please stop thinking that there is someone who looks exactly like our Michael for this is not true, and i do not wish to see fans get there feelings hurt nor mis-lead by others who find joy in playing with your feelings while confusing you at the same time.

Michael fans, please think about this, our Michael is unique in every way thats why we love him so much, and he could never ever be replaced nor duplicated, and i know deep down in your hearts you know i am right for i would never steer you wrong on such a sensitive issue, but i will not sit back, and have you lied to when i know the truth.

NOW ABOUT MICHAEL`S DEATH


I was also in Las Angelas, and saw Michael 5 days before he died in which my publicist was trying to set up a meeting with Michael, and myself as i was told they where looking for someone who not only had to looked like him, but had to have his body Physique for the THIS IS IT TOUR, but unfortunately the meeting never took place.

I knew that Michael died 45min before the AP went public through one of his people, and i fell to my knees with disbelief, and stayed there for at least 1hr, and cried while asking why?

I love Michael so very much like all of you, and even said to God that i would give my life if he would bring Michael back, but i knew thats just not the way life works.

I am a spiritual person, and i know after i tell you this you probably will not believe me, but it's the truth, and only a few people know this.

After Michael died he visited me, and yes i freaked out, because i have only been visited once in my life, and that was when my wife`s Father passed away, and he visited us, and now Michael.


When one has a spiritual visit you first try to understand why this has happened to you, and then you are afraid to tell others for fear of not being believable, but i knew why Michael came as he wanted me to continue where he left off, and i made him a promise that i would try my best to fulfill the task that he bestowed upon me, but even after i made that promise i stilled wondered if what happened to me was real? so i asked God for guidance, and to give me some sign that it was real, and sure enough several other events took place, and my wife then said to me how many more signs do you need to see that what happened to you was real, and very clear.

I can understand if there are those who do not believe me, and it's okay trust me i would not believe myself, but all that has happened to me, and the events that took place was just to obvious not to ignore so please know what happened to me would not have happened if he was still alive, and thats the reason why i know he is no longer with us so i kindly ask all to please stop with the speculations, and trying to manifest something to give you hope that he is still alive.

I want him back so much just as you do, but not accepting the hard bitter truth will only prolong the healing process, and further damage your sanity as a beautiful human being.

We all need to focus on what Michael stood for, and thats love, peace, and unity.

Spreading his message globally, helping each other, and loving each other unconditionally is what we should be doing rather than fighting each other on whether or not Michael is alive etc..

Please try, and understand this from my perspective.

This was very difficult, and emotional for me as i had to re-live everything, and it will only get worse as June 25th draws nearer.

We are all in this together, and always remember you are not alone.

All my love, Earnest Valentino

DEKALB COUNTY, AL - A Dekalb County woman is charged with capital murder, after investigators say she gave her stepfather an injection that killed him.

Karrie Denise Willoughby, 32, turned herself in Friday, one year and one day after investigators exhumed her stepfather's body from an Ider cemetery.

Willoughby is being held in the DeKalb County Jail without bond. Investigators say she used Propofol.


Sign up for news & weather email alerts from WHNT NEWS 19!

Willoughby is charged in the death of her stepfather, Billie Junior Shaw, 65, on April 22, 2008. Reports from that day show Willoughby told investegators she found Shaw in his home in the Cartersville community. Emergency responders from Ider Rescue Squad and DeKalb Ambulance Service arrived, and Coroner Tom Wilson pronounced Shaw dead at the scene.

Initial reports at the scene indicated Mr. Shaw had died of an apparent heart attack. However, that turned out not to be the case.

"We received those samples back probably 6 to 8 months after we got the results back, it showed propofol in the blood sample," Sheriff Jimmy Harris said.

They started proceedings to exhume Shaw's body so an autopsy could be performed.

Officials exhumed Shaw's remains on May 13, 2009.

"We sent the body to the Medical Examiner in Huntsville, and they determined was propofol, propofol poisoning that led to his death," Harris said.

Propofol is the same drug the Los Angeles County Coroner determined caused Michael Jackson's death in June 2009. Sheriff Harris found that investigation relevant.

"During our case and all this, that was going on," Harris said.

"That came out right after it and we tried to follow that case as much as we could because at that time nobody really knew much about it. It is used in hospitals and places to put people to sleep."

While most people didn't know about Propofol until Michael Jackson's death--or have access to it--Willoughby was familiar with it from her work as a nurse at a Chattanooga medical center.

"She had signed this drug out and that's what started the investigation. We started to look to who had a reason or who could have gotten a hold of this drug so it led us back to her."

In his 20 years in law enforcement, this is the first time Sheriff Harris has dealt with exhuming a body. He said he talked with the current and former Dekalb County District Attorneys and they believe the last exhumation was in the 1950s. This is also the first capital murder case in Dekalb County in Harris' time as Sheriff.

"I'm glad that we finally got to this case. We've worked hard, and I know our prayers go out to her family and to the family of the victim also," Harris said.

"This is a very tragic situation. It is unfortunate, but our investigators and the District Attorney would not have presented the case to the grand jury if we didn't have conclusive evidence."

Sheriff Harris said the timing of Willoughby turning herself into authorities, 366 days after Shaw's exhumation, is purely coincidental.

The indictment for capital murder states that Billie Shaw died by lethal injection.

If convicted, Karrie Willoughby could face capital punishment by lethal injection.

Michael Jackson News / LMP was at his grave
« on: May 12, 2010, 07:55:06 PM »
Greetings MJ Fans....
While visiting him a few days ago at Forest Lawn , Riley and I couldn't help but notice that , while there are a few bouquets , candles and gifts there is a very large empty space around him and in front of him that could use a whole lot more.
While , I am sure that the staff at The Holy Terrace do their very best to place what is sent and what is placed at the door at his tomb , I thought you might like to know that he would want and deserves more than what is there and I had an idea.......
Some may or may not know this but his favorite flower was the Sunflower.
They made him happy because they looked happy to him , Thus, he called them "The Happy Flower".
When we were married , I would try and fill up rooms with them wherever he was.
I wanted to bring something to place near him that he liked and that wouldn't die so I brought a large vase of silk sunflowers and placed them near him.
This barely made any kind of dent in the atmosphere so I thought of maybe letting those who care know what the situation is and how we can solve it.
I know how much he loved and appreciated being showered with Gifts and flowers by his fans , I thought if whoever wants to bought just one silk sunflower each and sent it , the whole area around him and in front of him (As well as the two large empty vases that sit on either side of him) could be filled up in no time , which would be much more appropriate than what the current status is right now.
We can all cause a "Sun shower" if you will...........
He deserves to be flooded and surrounded , LETS SURROUND HIM!
Lots of Love,
~LMP

He did say some stupid things right after MJ "died" I wonder why he gave with Rebbie the interview? Maybe it was done on purpose to talk stupid things about MJ and his kids so that the media would not thinke MJ could be with him sometimes. I am confused

''It’s weird to say this, as paparazzi, because the world can’t stand us, even though they can’t put our magazines down, but there was a closeness that our photographers had with Michael''

''“For the last 18 hours, we have been playing M.J. songs, and we have a poster in the window of our office that reads ‘R.I.P. King,’” Evenstad said at the time. “And look, I’m still stunned. It hasn’t hit me yet. He was the only celebrity that, if you were devoted enough, he would let you into his house. You think somebody could go to Bruce Willis’s house and say, ‘I love you, I love you,’ that you’d get in? He’d call the police. That’s what all of them would do. All but Michael. If you said ‘I love you, I love you’ to Michael, he would assume you meant you loved him, and he would let you in.”

Christopher Weiss wants to be a doctor, but he is not, at first glance, a dream candidate for medical school. He went to junior college and got mediocre grades—and then he spent the better part of the next decade trying to make up for his feckless youth. Getting his bachelor’s degree at U.S.C., doing breast-cancer lab research, working as an E.M.T., and getting his paramedic’s license, the 29-year-old slowly built a résumé that could impress admissions boards. But he always worried that he wasn’t saving enough of his income, that med school would require him to take on a crushing load of debt. Then, in 2007, his boyhood friend Ben Evenstad, also 29, offered Weiss a chance to make a lot of money. When Evenstad co-founded the photo agency National Photo Group, he hired Weiss and taught him how to be a paparazzo.

Though Weiss says he’s not very interested in celebrities, he came to enjoy the job, especially when he got to shoot Michael Jackson. “From the first time I saw him in person, at a Barnes & Noble, when he was wearing Band-Aids on his face, I was mesmerized,” Weiss says. His boss, Evenstad, shares the fascination: “As a pap, you spend most of your time chasing sex symbols, but M.J. was different, almost like a Howard Hughes character,” he says. “With the masks and the umbrellas and the mystery, I thought Michael was more interesting than any other celebrity, and he has more interesting fans than any other celebrity—this group, mostly female, who would follow him all over the world. If he went to Ireland, France, Bahrain, Neverland, they were there. The same individuals. Nobody else had what he had. I set out to document why.”

Evenstad started as a pap in 1999 (he was also a professional autograph collector at the time), and he worked for a photo agency that questioned the amount of time he spent chasing Jackson, during a period when photos of the singer were not commanding premium prices. “For me, it was kind of a fan thing. As a fan, I wanted to get his photo. It wasn’t until 2003 when his legal troubles got bad that pictures of him started to be worth a lot again,” Evenstad says.



Jackson and one of his many young female fans, October 2008. Despite his penchant for wearing masks, he was not afraid of physical contact with his admirers. By Dean/National Photo Group.

*n.b - this is Talitha*

Although this may sound self-justifying, it is in earnest. I have known Evenstad for eight years—I wrote about him for The New York Times Magazine, in 2001—and from the day we met, he named Jackson as his favorite quarry.

Jackson’s most devoted fans recognized a fellow enthusiast in Evenstad, and they developed a mutually beneficial relationship, exchanging tips with one another about the singer’s comings and goings.

National Photo Group, from the beginning, “wanted to be the Michael Jackson agency,” Evenstad says. “There’s always money to be made with Michael, so we started shooting him every day.” Last fall, when Jackson moved into the Bel-Air Hotel, in Los Angeles, Christopher Weiss and another photographer were assigned to be, as Weiss puts it, “soldiers of the sit.” He, too, became friendly with the singer’s core group of fans: mostly young, attractive, European women.


Jackson and one of his many young female fans, October 2008. Despite his penchant for wearing masks, he was not afraid of physical contact with his admirers. By Dean/National Photo Group.
Weiss, whose voice has the clear, generous intelligence of a Boy Scout, remembers, “The girls would huddle outside the hotel gate that was closest to Jackson’s bungalow, sitting very quietly so that security would not find them. And sometimes Michael would come out and say hello. One time he handed out five handwritten letters that said things like ‘I can feel your energy through the walls. You inspire me so much. I love you all. Thank you for being there. Thank you for being my friend. Thank you for loving me. With all the love in my heart, Michael Jackson.’ I was always impressed by that, how deeply he seemed to care for these girls. When he hugged one of them, he would put one hand on her neck, behind her head, that extra-comforting move like you would do to a person you know. The writing in those letters had a style that was personal, deep, flowery, ornate. It was not ‘Thanks guys. Have a good night. I hope you like the music.’”

This, too, may sound like a sentimental exaggeration, but it is not. I spent a week with the women that Weiss and Evenstad are talking about, while researching Starstruck, a book I wrote about relationships between celebrities and fans. No star was more generous to fans (every member of the core group of Jackson fans that I met had, at some point, been invited into his house to have dinner or to watch movies and hang out), and no group of fans treated one another with more generosity than these women.

“To figure out who would get the letters that Michael wrote to the group,” Weiss says, “the girls would draw straws. They would write their names on pieces of paper and throw them in my camera bag, and I would reach in and draw names. The girl who got the letter would take it and make photocopies and give them to all of the others.”




Two notes Jackson reportedly wrote to fans at the Los Angeles hotel he was staying at last November. “I truly love all of you[.] I am recording tonight, for all of you, you are my true inspiration forever. I am living for you, and the children,” he wrote in one. And “You make me sooo happy.… The sky is the limit. Higher consciousness always.… I love you. Michael Jackson.”

Last December, National became the first photo agency to learn the address of the mansion Jackson was renting on North Carolwood Drive, in the Holmby Hills section of Los Angeles. Evenstad, who was also friendly with members of Jackson’s staff, managed to keep the location a secret for a couple of weeks. Throughout the winter and spring, even when no one else was around, there was almost always at least one photographer from National staking out the gates alongside the die-hard fans.

On June 25, National sent a photographer named Alfred Ibanez to the house. Just after noon, Ibanez called Evenstad, panicked: “There is an ambulance here. Get your video camera and get here now.”

On the way to the scene, Evenstad called Weiss and the rest of his photographers on their cell phones, ordering them to Jackson’s house immediately. Weiss, who was staking out Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s driveway (the couple had spent the previous night at the Hollywood Roosevelt hotel, Pitt had just returned home in his black Prius, and Weiss was waiting in hopes of getting a shot of Jolie, as well), raced 7.9 miles to Jackson’s. He arrived to find the National photographers (the only paps there) talking to two fans and three autograph collectors who’d been in front of the house all morning. Weiss saw an ambulance inside the gates and a fire truck parked on the street. Ibanez had zoomed in through the window of the fire truck with his telephoto lens and snapped a picture of the call screen, which provided a few details about the situation inside. At this point, Weiss’s experience as an E.M.T. came in handy. He read from the digital image: “50-year-old male … not breathing … ”

“That told me this was probably serious,” Weiss says, “and not just an anxiety attack like he’s had in the past.” Still, he adds, “you can never know exactly what ‘not breathing’ means at that point. It’s laypeople being quoted in a clinical context.” The more time passed, the less serious Weiss figured Jackson’s problems must be. “We were there for 20 minutes,” he says, “and if you’ve got a full arrest”—when a patient really has stopped breathing—“the paramedics usually load and go within 8 to 10 minutes.”

Having been scooped in the past, Evenstad knew anything could happen. As the ambulance started backing down the driveway toward the gate, he barked orders at his guys: “This might be the biggest picture ever, so get up to the windows of that vehicle and shoot. I don’t care if you can’t see. Just shoot.” When he saw Weiss standing a foot from the window, he worried that Weiss would get nothing more than a picture of the reflection of his own camera flash. Weiss says, “Ben told me, ‘Put your lens against the window, and shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot.’”

“We couldn’t see inside the ambulance,” Weiss continues. “For all I knew when I was taking the pictures, Michael could have been sitting up on a gurney with oxygen on.”

The National photographers jumped in two cars that followed the Jackson entourage’s two blue Escalades that followed the screaming ambulance to the emergency room at U.C.L.A. medical center—and by then, TMZ and other paps were on the scene. When Evenstad rushed the ambulance, one of Jackson’s bodyguards tried to block his camera and said, “‘C’mon man. Don’t do this. This isn’t cool,’” and Evenstad said, “‘When it’s this big, we have to,’ and I ran around to the other side, because at a certain point there’s no delicacy. We gotta do what we gotta do.”

Weiss saw a look on the guards’ faces that made him believe something was really wrong: “They were being aggressive, but it was remorseful aggressiveness. ‘Please guys, please just stop.’ They kept saying ‘please.’”

By then, Weiss had checked the last few frames he’d shot through the ambulance window, and all he saw was a reflection on the glass. “I thought, I didn’t get it. I was depressed that I missed a shot that could have been a big deal.”

Evenstad collected the memory cards from everybody’s cameras and headed to National’s office to edit the images. Not long after, he called Weiss again: “Chris, you have made up for every knucklehead maneuver you have ever done. We have a usable frame of M.J. in the back”—the now ubiquitous shot of Jackson strapped to a gurney, his face shown in profile as one paramedic attempts chest resuscitation and another pumps oxygen into his mouth.

At this point, National’s paps were still in an ethical twilight zone. Was the picture they’d taken no more than an intimate shot of Michael Jackson’s most recent histrionics? (“This is Michael we’re talking about,” Evenstad says. “Crazy ish is run-of-the-mill.”) Or, as they were beginning to dread—with an unsettling edge of excitement—did they have something more significant on their hands?

They were still editing the shots when TMZ, at first, and then the TV networks reported that Jackson was dead. Weiss, who was in National’s office by then, says that everyone stopped briefly and looked at one another, stunned. Then, Evenstad says, “something clicks in, and you just start working again like a machine. You have to sell this. And you have to not shortchange yourself. We didn’t make him die. Whatever happened to him physically happened because of what he was doing. We were only there to report the goings-on of his. The last thing I want on earth was for him to die.”


Adorer and adored trade waves as Jackson heads to a doctor’s appointment in Beverly Hills, February 10, 2009. From National Photo Group.

The morning after Jackson’s death, Weiss says, he was “happy because we got the picture. I took the last picture of Michael Jackson, ever. Because we had, as much as a photographer could for the last six months of his life, a relationship with Michael. There were days, like when he went to the doctor’s office sometimes, when we would just put our cameras down and visit with him. It’s weird to say this, as paparazzi, because the world can’t stand us, even though they can’t put our magazines down, but there was a closeness that our photographers had with Michael. If there was any fate to getting the shots, maybe that was it. We didn’t go out celebrating. We just watched the news all night.”

How does it feel, knowing that Jackson might well have been dead when the picture was taken? Weiss struggles to formulate an answer, then says, “I am glad, if somebody had to take that photo, that it was me. But I would rather it not have happened. I’d rather have a photo of him carrying his kids piggyback in the park, which is something that’s never been shot and I used to hope for. I understand the magnitude of the photo and that it has a kind of place in history. But it sucks. It just sucks.”

This ambivalence was eating at both of the photographers the day after Jackson died. Evenstad, who didn’t sleep that night, says, “I’m not a morbid person. I don’t want to celebrate someone’s death because I’m making money. I wish Michael wasn’t dead. And I would do better, business-wise, if he were still alive. But given that he died, I am not sorry that we got the last photo. That’s something that the world wants to see. It took skill and effort to get that photo, and for that I’m proud. But we are in mourning.”

He and Weiss were both worried about the fans. A few of them had been texting some of National’s photographers during the night: “I am dead inside,” one message read. “Nothing means anything.”

“For the last 18 hours, we have been playing M.J. songs, and we have a poster in the window of our office that reads ‘R.I.P. King,’” Evenstad said at the time. “And look, I’m still stunned. It hasn’t hit me yet. He was the only celebrity that, if you were devoted enough, he would let you into his house. You think somebody could go to Bruce Willis’s house and say, ‘I love you, I love you,’ that you’d get in? He’d call the police. That’s what all of them would do. All but Michael. If you said ‘I love you, I love you’ to Michael, he would assume you meant you loved him, and he would let you in.”

Jackson’s death leaves a void not only in the fans’ lives but also in Evenstad’s. As much as he may mourn the singer, though, Evenstad also mourns the rare complexity of relationships that surrounded the King of Pop. “This is what hit me halfway through the night: What do I do now? Chase *$%# Zac Efron around?,” Evenstad asks. “What is the point?”

Christopher Weiss plans to retire from the paparazzi if he gets into medical school this fall. By the end of the weekend, his photograph of Michael Jackson in the back of the ambulance had grossed sales in the high six figures, with many foreign sales still pending. The first, and most notorious of these sales was closed during my conversation with Evenstad, when a bicycle messenger was pedaling across London, delivering a paper check—for about $500,000—from OK! magazine to National’s U.K. lawyer. Yesterday, the New York Post’s “Page Six” called Weiss’s photo “ghoulish,” reported that some OK! staffers were outraged by the purchase, and suggested that Jay-Z and Sean Combs may organize a boycott of the magazine. Combs’s publicist denied the rumor, and it’s unclear how much controversy the shot may inspire—but this image is sure to have a long and prosperous life. Frank Griffin, one of the deans of Hollywood paparazzi, was quoted as saying the shot would earn $1 million. That should go a long way toward paying tuition.

In January, Weiss went from commission to salary with National, he says, not quite able to hide his disappointment. But he’ll probably make out fine. Ben Evenstad explains, “Our whole staff will get bonuses on this. Once we exceed quarterly sales goals, everybody gets a piece of the pie. When we created that system, we never figured that a picture would ever make this much money. The bonuses might be six figures. If not, then damn close.”

Eldest sister says she helped raise Michael Jackson
ANIMonday, April 19, 2010 12:37

NEW YORK: Michael Jackson’s eldest sister Rebbie has revealed that she helped raise her superstar brother.


Rebbie Jackson
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When she was a teenager, her mother, Katherine, went back to school, leaving her — the oldest of the nine children — in charge of caring for the Jackson brood.

“I’m very much the big sister. I helped raise a lot of them. I took care of them and administered the disciplinary action,” the New York Post quoted Jackson as saying.

Rebbie revealed that memories of her role as caregiver in the family’s Gary, Ind., home came flooding back to her in the wake of the King of Pop’s death on June 25, 2009.

“When he passed, I thought about him the way he was as a kid,” she said.

She recalled the iconic star’s cherubic smile that first brightened stages as a member of the Jackson 5 and later as a solo artist.

After her brother overdosed on the powerful sedative Propofol, Rebbie, who lives with her husband, Nathaniel Brown, in Las Vegas, cancelled a string of performances.

She spent two and half months in California at her brother’s and mother’s estates, comforting her family and resumed her role as caregiver to Michael’s children, Prince, 13; Paris, 12; and Blanket, 8.

“I have to say, for a while, it was very difficult to listen to anything that Michael’s voice was on. That’s pretty tough to escape. Everywhere you go — food markets, departments stores, TV and radio — they are playing his music,” she said.

And now, almost after a year, Rebbie has said that she still wakes up in the middle of the night haunted by the circumstances surrounding his brother’s death.

His doctor, Conrad Murray, currently awaits trial on manslaughter charges for his role in administering the fatal narcotic and facilitating the legendary singer’s addiction.

“My brother had a problem with drugs, and he was in denial. There were many interventions by the family members, and I was involved in a lot of that. It was such a sad thing and it hurt so bad,” said Rebbie.

Translation from AllJackson's from Facebook

According to their aunt, the late King of Pop's children are "finally happy again". What their lives look like now:

The 53 year old told BUNTE: "We try to make them laugh, to make them forget everything." Prince Michael (13), Paris (12) and eight year old Prince Michael II, called Blanket, live with their grandmother Katherine in the family's estate. "They are always with other children," said La Toya Jackson, "They have a pool, a pond, a skating rink and an enclosure." Prince owns an iguana, Paris has three cats and looks after La Toya's dog. About 20 employees take care of the children. "The gardener comes to walk the dog.".

According to his aunt, Blanket is incredibly shy and rarely speaks, but "dances the entire time. It is unbelievable, he moves just like his dad. Prince is into electronics, spends a lot of time with technical equipment." Paris speaks of her father a lot, says La Toya to BUNTE. The girl is an "extraordinary talent" playing piano. "Sometimes, when I see her sweet face, it just cheers my heart - I would love to just hug her and explain so many things to her," says aunt La Toya, "But I have to restrain myself, the wounds are still too fresh."

Michael Jackson had passed away last June, at age 50.
