No Tears
A British tabloid is questioning the authenticity of little Paris Michael Katherine Jackson’s mournful dry eyed tribute to her guardian, Michael Jackson during his public memorial at the Staples Center yesterday.
Britain’s The SUN newspaper accused the Jackson family of pushing little Paris in front of the microphone after she was forced to live her entire life behind a veil.
Taking children to a funeral is one of the most difficult decisions a parent will ever have to make.
But the King of Pop’s young daughter speaking as the climax of the memorial just wasn’t right.
Paris didn’t look comfortable and more importantly, capable, of doing it.
As the family gathered on stage I was surprised to see the children being paraded in front of a gold coffin holding the remains of their beloved father.
Then, as JANET Jackson struggled to lower the mic stand for her niece’s tiny frame, I just couldn’t believe my eyes.
Apparently, The SUN wasn’t impressed with the sobbing Paris crying a river of air. The rag even went so far as to label the entire event a “macabre circus.”
Though we here at sandrarose.com are inclined to agree that tearless crying is a mite suspicious — even we are willing to give the kid a break.
Cover Parade
That was quick. Michael Jackson’s memorable public memorial was just yesterday, and already People magazine’s got a leg up on the competition.
They say Michael knew more about meds than pharmacists. I can believe it

Celebs Out & About: Halle Berry
Oscar winning actress Halle Berry and her sperm donor Gabriel Aubrey have been spending a lot of quality time together lately. Maybe Halle grew tired of the blogs asking where he was. She’s probably paying him to play the doting daddy role for the paps. He’ll be gone soon.

US Weekly: Michael Jackson’s Strange Christmas With Kids’ Biological Dad
To those of who who are still in denial about the paternity of Michael Jackson’s Caucasian children: don’t pick up tomorrow’s issue of US Weekly magazine.
From US Weekly:
Michael Jackson celebrated his final Christmas with his three children — and with dermatologist Arnold Klein, the biological father of Paris, 11, and Prince Michael I, 12. Us Weekly reports in its new issue (on newsstands tomorrow) that Klein brought Star Wars icon Carrie Fisher, a close friend, as a surprise guest for the kids to Jackson’s $100,000-a-month Holmby Hills, Calif. rental.
Fellow guest Stephen Price, a close friend of Klein’s, tells Us Weekly that Jackson had mentioned to Klein that Paris, Prince and Prince Michael II (a.k.a. “Blanket”), 7, were fans of Star Wars and would like to meet Fisher.
As for Klein, who had employed Paris and Prince’s mother, Debbie Rowe, for 23 years, Price would only say “no comment” about his longtime pal’s status as their biological dad.
Oh, and the youngest kid, Blanket, doesn’t look a bit like Michael. Stop imagining things. Michael wanted Caucasian children to raise as his own. He wouldn’t have it any other way.
Bethenny Frankel is getting married
By the time the 3rd season of Real Housewives of New York City rolls around, Bethenny Frankel will be a real housewife. Frankel and her real estate broker beau, Jason Hoppy have been an item for eight months.
According to US Weekly, Bethenny was spotted at an event with a sparkler on her ring finger so US Weekly popped the question to her rep.
“I can confirm Bethenny and Jason are in love and plan on getting married,” her rep tells Us. “So I guess this is the starter ring.”
“I’m in love,” Frankel said at an event in the Hamptons. “I’m pretty much certain I’m going to spend the rest of my life with him… I’m really happy.”
The couple first met at NYC nightclub Tenjune. Since then, the Frankel and Hoppy — who works in real estate — have attended several events together and went on a romantic vacation in Turks & Caicos in May. She has even reportedly gotten approval from her Housewives friends, who say Hoppy is a catch.
