Young Paris Jackson looks quite at home while bopping around in Las Vegas with her siblings and grandmother and permanent legal custodian, Katherine Jackson.

The 11-year-old daughter of the late Michael Jackson sports a pair of glasses, some shopping bags and a big smile while leaving the Amp Salon. Additionally, the whole gang was spotted at the Palms Casino Resort, where the kids lived in early 2008 for two months.

According to People magazine, the pop star progeny sipped on virgin strawberry-banana daquiris and played in the pool for more than two hours. With Michael only recently buried, they could use the vacation.

Katherine Jackson Awarded Permanent Custody Of Michael's Children

Share




Well, one major situation has been resolved. CNN Reports that Katherine Jackson, 79, was appointed permanent guardian of Michael's three children -- Michael Joseph "Prince Michael" Jackson Jr., Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince Michael II (known as "Blanket") -- by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff.

An agreement last week between Katherine Jackson and Debbie Rowe, the mother of the two oldest children, cleared the way for an uncontested custody hearing.

Rowe, who was briefly married to Michael Jackson, agreed not to fight for custody in exchange for visits with the children as recommended by a psychologist.

The agreement does not involve any financial payments to Rowe "apart from the continuation of spousal support payments" that Michael Jackson personally agreed to make to Rowe after their divorce, their lawyers said in a joint statement.

Now lets hope the media leaves the kids alone.

Katherine Jackson Gets The Kids

Share




A deal has been reached between all parties involved, which gives Katherine Jackson custody of Michael Jackson's three children, Prince, 12, Paris, 11 and Blanket, 7.

Attorney for Katherine, Londell McMillan said in a statement, "It's an agreement, an agreement for the best interests of the children. This is not a money deal. This is not about money." Michael named his mother in his will as guardian of the children and she filed for custody of the children shortly after the will was discovered.

As for the biological mother of Michael's two eldest, Debbie Rowe, she as agreed not to seek custody of the children in return for retaining her parental rights and will get visitation of the kids. Although Katherine retains custodial rights, it's most likely the kids will make their way to their aunt, Rebbie Jackson, shortly.

Wow, I have to say I'm impressed and surprised at how smoothly this seems to have gone.

Rebbie Jackson To Raise Michael Jackson's Children

Share




Although it's mom, Katherine Jackson, who is vying for custody of Michael Jackson's children, TMZ is reporting that Michael's sister, Rebbie Jackson, will actually be the one raising the three children.

In fact, the 59-year-old is currently with Katherine in Encino and is already involved in the daily care of the children. She and her husband of 20 years reside in Las Vegas and has fostered a close bond with the kids since their birth.

These inside family sources (I'm going to guess one of them is LaToya Jackson because we all know that one can't keep a secret) say that whether or not Rebbie becomes legal guardian for the kiddos, there's no question that she'll be primarily responsible for their day-to-day care.

Katherine Jackson Loses Control Of Estate, Memorial Lineup Announcd

Share




At the time of Michael Jackson's death, his mother was appointed as temporary executor of his estate while the search for a will began. Now that a 5-page document from 2002 has been unearthed, a judge has ruled that per Jackson's instructions in the will, lawyer John Branca and music executive John McClain will act as executors for the late King of Pop.

However, Katherine Jackson is not pleased with the outcome and the Rev. Al Sharpton expressed as such on Good Morning America. The close family friend said on the talk show, "I think it has been very insensitive, particularly to this family, that you would even schedule a court hearing on the status of the mother the day before she has to go to the cemetery for her son. I mean, it's almost insulting."

Meanwhile, the lineup for the memorial service for MJ has been announced and a preliminary list includes Kobe Bryant, Mariah Carey, the Andrae Crouch Choir, Berry Gordy, Jennifer Hudson, Shaheen Jafargholi (finalist on Britain's Got Talent), Magic Johnson, Martin Luther King III, Bernice A. King, John Mayer, Lionel Richie, Smokey Robinson, Rev. Al Sharpton, Brooke Shields, Pastor Lucious Smith (family friend), Ron Boyd (family friend), Usher and Stevie Wonder.

Michael Jackson's Life In Magazines; Will Mentions Diana Ross

Share




Now that the shocking news of Michael Jackson's sudden death is sinking in, tabloids and magazines all over the world are commemorating the pop star's career and legacy with pictures of the late King of Pop.

In addition to leaving behind an unprecedented musical career, many questions have left to be answered. Luckily, Jackson's five-page, seven-year old will might be able to clear up some legal questions. Concerning the issue of custody of his three children, Jackson designated his mother Katherine Jackson as legal guardian.

Surprisingly, however, Diana Ross is listed as an alternate guardian, in the event that Katherine would be unable to fulfill her duties. As for the children's alleged biological mother, Debbie Rowe, Jackson's will states, "I have intentionally omitted to provide for my former wife."

Katherine Jackson Files For Custody Of Michael's Kids

Share




Currently, Michael Jackson's three children are with their paternal grandmother Katherine Jackson, with whom they hope to stay. And the feeling is mutual.

Katherine has filed for legal guardianship of all three kids in a petition with the Los Angeles Probate Court with a hearing scheduled for August 3.

And his family is confident, with Joe Jackson telling CNN, "We're not trying to get custody. We will get custody and have custody."

I just hope for the sake of those kids that they display no talent in singing or dancing whatsoever.

Michael Jackson's Kids Want To Remain With Grandparents

Share




Sources close to the Jackson family are saying that Michael Jackson's three children -- Michael Joseph, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine and Prince "Blanket" Michael II -- say they want to stay with their grandparents, specifically Katherine Jackson.

Sources say MJ's kids will continue to live with Katherine Jackson at the family's Encino home. We're told the family is 100 percent behind this -- feeling that Katherine and Joe Jackson are the only people who can help the children understand who their father was, help them grieve, and teach them to deal with life in the spotlight.

They have no relationship with Debbie Rowe, who is the biological mother of Michael and Paris.
