Katherine Jackson On Oprah (Full Interview)
Talk Diva Oprah Winfrey’s exclusive interview with Katherine Jackson aired yesterday after weeks of hype and build up.
The interview drops a few gems, such as clips from private home movies, Katherine’s recollection of the day Michael decided to get a nose job, and when she forces Joe Jackson to admit he whipped Michael with a belt.
Michael Jackson’s adopted children, Prince Michael I, Paris Katherine and Prince Michael II (Blanket), joined Katherine and Oprah later on in the segment (Part 3). Oprah even interviews Jermaine’s baby mama and their 3 offspring.
I was hoping Paris and Prince would mention how Michael dyed their hair blond when they were younger to make them appear more Aryan. Or whether they thought he was really their biological father. But I guess that would have been too much to ask.
The interview was pre-recorded at the beautiful, sprawling Encino family compound where young Michael and his brothers and sisters grew up after the family moved to the west coast from Gary, Indiana.
The mansion is now home to Michael’s adopted children and Jermaine Jackson’s baby mama and 3 sons. I remember when Michael paid the mansion off for Katherine after Joe Jackson left his mother for another woman. Joe and Katherine eventually reunited.
Critics say Michael would have strenuously objected to his children’s appearance on Oprah — especially since she practically labeled him a child molester while he was still alive.

New Music: Michael Jackson – “Breaking News”
New music from the late pop icon Michael Jackson. No, this isn’t the track that was supposedly released by Katherine Jackson to counteract Sony’s upcoming MJ release.
According to Roger Friedman’s Showbiz 411, “Breaking News” is a track that was written by Michael about himself.
“Who is that boogeyman you’re thinking of?/Why is it strange that I would fall in love?,” Michael sings.
“Breaking News” was produced by Teddy Riley. It was recorded in August 2007.

Michael Jackson’s ‘Love Child’ Surfaces: Can you see the striking resemblance?
Ever since pop icon Michael Jackson died of heart and respiratory failure last year, a number of opportunists, con artists and just plain weirdos have piled out of the woodwork laying a claim to his fortune.
According to TMZ, the latest nut job to surface is a woman named Mocienne Petit Jackson, who claims she was conceived by Michael while he was still a minor. Normally I wouldn’t waste any computer pixels on this type of nonsense, but her claims were at least partially legitimized by a California judge who gave the go ahead for a DNA test to confirm the paternity!
I can see why the judge would order a DNA test: < SARCASM>doesn’t Mocienne bare a striking resemblance to Michael?< /SARCASM>

Celebs Out & About
Willow and Jaden Smith were flanked by bodyguards and nannies as they attended the movie premiere of ‘The Perfect Game’ at the Grove in Hollywood, CA, yesterday without their famous parents, Jada Pinkett and Will. I still say these kids are too grown for their own good. My 9-year-old daughter would never come out of the house dressed like this.
Michael Jackson’s siblings Janet, Jermaine and Randy arrived at the Los Angeles Superior Court for the pre hearing of Dr. Conrad Murray yesterday. Murray is charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the death of pop singer Michael Jackson. Also arriving at the courthouse were their parents Katherine and Joe Jackson. This is such a sad case. Murray was allowed to keep his medical license until a later court hearing where it will be determined if he will lose his license to practice medicine. This case will be open and shut once it gets underway. Murray will not be found guilty of manslaughter since it can’t be proven that he caused the death of Michael Jackson deliberately, willfully and with malice of forethought. But Murray will lose his medical license because he did neglect his patient by leaving the room while a powerful anesthesia/sedative was infusing (he’s not an anesthesiologist). Therefore he violated the oath he took when he became a doctor (to cause no harm).

Celebrity Seed
I realize he’s not a celebrity, but Barack Obama’s kids, Malia, 11, and Sasha, 8, couldn’t contain their boredom at the annual Easter Egg Roll at the White House yesterday (April 5) in Washington, DC. About 30,000 people attended the 132-year-old tradition of rolling colored eggs down the South Lawn of the White House.
Sasha reportedly perked up when one of her favorite singers Justin Bieber performed. Also attending the event was actress Reese Witherspoon and her family.
Michael Jackson’s oldest adopted daughter Paris Katherine Jackson celebrated her 12th birthday over the weekend. Paris and her brothers Prince and Blanket and their cousins, including Jaafar (in black shirt, the one who tried to stun gun Blanket), celebrated the epic event at a roller skating rink in Glendale, California. Paris bears an uncanny resemblance to her mother who basically sold Paris and her brother Prince to Michael for a couple mil.

The Nanny Did It
According to X17online.com, the Jackson family’s former nanny Grace Rwaramba was the snitch who called LA County Department of Children’s and Family Services (DFCS) following an incident involving a stun gun.
The source told X17online that Rwaramba, who helped raise the late Michael Jackon’s 3 adopted children from birth, sold the stun gun story to TMZ.com.
Our Jackson family source tells us that “Grace is trying to get custody of Michael’s kids while trying to paint Katherine as an unfit guardian. She’s throwing it in Katherine’s face! The children absolutely despise Grace.”
Once the singer died, the nanny made her return to the Hayvenhurst home and was kicked off the property by Michael’s younger brother, Randy. Sources tell us that Katherine is afraid to get rid of Rwaramba because she has been threatening to write a tell-all book. Read More…
The source also told X17online that Grace is the one who sold the video of Jermaine Jackson’s 13-year-old son Jaafar pushing his younger brother, to RadarOnline.com, which used the video to bolster their theory that the Jackson family home environment is a violent one.
Grace has mysteriously been missing from the home and from the Jackson children’s lives. The last time she was seen in public with Michael II, Paris and Blanket was in January when she accompanied them to karate class. It is believed that she was fired. But if Grace was really money hungry as the source claims, she would have written a tell-all book when Jackson died and made millions. It seems she really might care about the safety of the children, who live with 5 other boys and as many as 6 adults in a 12 bedroom, 25 bath mansion.
Some Jackson fans think the children should be removed from that chaotic environment and placed with a white family.
