If you guessed that Paris Jackson‘s controversial Rolling Stone interview was her launching pad to TV and movie stardom, you guessed right.
Michael Jackson‘s only daughter has reportedly signed on to the cast of Lee Daniels‘ TV musical STAR.
The pretty 18-year-old is taking advantage of her famous last name to pursue her dreams to be an actress.
Jackson reportedly met with Daniels for a screen test last week — and the test went well. It’s a wonder that Tyler Perry didn’t call her first to do a screen test for him.
Sources tells TMZ Paris is already filming in Atlanta, Georgia, but it’s unclear if she’ll have a cameo role or a regular part on the show, which launched last month to poor reviews.
STAR features acting veterans Queen Latifah, Lenny Kravitz, Benjamin Bratt, and Naomi Campbell, along with newcomers Jude Demorest (as Star Davis); transvestite Amiyah Scott, and singer-turned actor Quincy Brown.
According to WENN.com, Jackson has been taking acting classes for years.

I tried to watch this how……the lead character irked my nerves, acting like an entitled brat and it seemed that everyone bowed to her…………said FUKK it and am not looking at it again. Not even on a drunk day at home with nothing to watch…I’d rather paint my walls and watch it dry 3 times first.
She could play Madonna…
Newports still the it thing for teenagers?
I don’t watch the show. Next!
The show is boring.
Speaking of Quincy……….we never discussed the Al B Sure in New Edition movie….did we? CTHU
Good for her! Yeap that’s all I got for this post… NEXT!
I’m still not watching.
This girl has some of the prettiest eyes …. Beautiful eyes …??
Yes it is boring and its all over the place! I watch the 1st 2 shows and I couldn’t take no more of it!
They got the Jean wear right ?
Umm ok..
The pretty 18-year-old
Yes, she is.
LOL
Remember when Tyler Perry said he would help Bobby Kristina’s acting career after Whitney Houston died??
Why do I have the same bad feeling about this??
Paris didn’t want to be in the spotlight and wanted to stay with her mother….what changed??
Don’t do it Paris. Do like Blanket and the other one… Run and HIDE

Lee Daniels hires any and everybody. I knew this show was trash when the baddest punta was cast.
Ehhhh…Bobbi Kris stayed high as a kite. On top of the fact that she couldn’t act. TP could only do so much.
Who tf is watching that show?? Lmaooooo
Poor Paris, thinks she’s black when her adoptive daddy didn’t even want to be black, you can’t make this stuff up. LOL
#stolen
I agree with the last two lines. She did stay out of the limelight and Prince was out in the open. And I hope they keep Blanket where he is….he seems like the shy, introvert of the 3.
Except if your name is “Monique”
Its for white people anyway. So they can feel good about themselves. According to Lee. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/fb8d30982d29e5d57be069dda6b76efe0fffbd4c456d875cde6d6011ea0fa73f.jpg
Joseline is on the show?

Sweet?you being nice
Right…..cause (as I said below) that little half breed with the blond hair……irked my nerves on both the episodes I attempted to watch. When she bucked on up Lenny K. daughter in the show, cause the child didn’t want to use her daddy money and everybody just stood there………I was done with it. Self entitled heffa irked my nerves!!
Folks still won’t watch your show, Lee.
Yes she was on it, I think she’s been cast as a regular.
I aint never watched it and never probably will.
?No
Ugh wont let me reply to @Older Sistah. But I said Kyle said what HE said. Fukk folks
I watched five minutes. 4:59 too long.
Never will.
I’m always nice.
I wonder if the lee Daniels train over. He posted a pic with Denzel and Laurence talking bout he took them out for dinner but left HIS card at home. He woulda been washing dishes
I can’t reply either…I said……..LOVE IT!!! YES!!! NO FUKKS GIVEN!!
I am purposely at work talking politics EVERY chance I get.
Told a few of them…….folks was okay with what was going on and going to happen until they found out they were NOT Exempt. Paper people crying over government job freeze, possibly losing health, etc…..Oh, now y’all understand!! FOH
Couldn’t reply either. WTch the NBA try to fine him
Between Kyle Lowry’s comment and President Obama coming out in support of the protests I’m good for the rest of the day.
The five minutes I watched you ain’t missed nothing but a bathroom break
?.
I thought that was Amina Scott
I took one for team…..I should have painted and watched it dry 3 times…would have enjoyed that more.
Hell no. He still working on the Richard Pryor movie I do belee. Im ready for him to get gone
Sips
Its unfortunate that Michael Jackson didn’t have enough pride in his heritage to commission and then adopt any Black children. His hard work has essentially paved an easy path for all 3 of his pre-purchased Caucasian kids, who aren’t even partially believable as Black and frankly, they seem sorta hostile to Black causes and issues as well. Would have been great to see a few Black faces enjoying these benefits.
Now can this girl even act? Then again, acting talent is not a prerequisite for ANY Lee Daniels project so that’s probably a stupid question.
Meanwhile, have we found out when Fox plans on taking EMPIRE out of its misery yet??
I don’t think he cares…Lol
I know he don’t.
If he starts a PayPal, I’ll contribute to help him pay that fine.
I won’t watch so………
Who have you adopted
Thats what I don’t like about his programs! He does too much and tries too hard to add popular people from the internet to think their followers will tune in to watch his shows. Most of them have NO prior experience as actors either, Its just overkill if you ask me!
It sometimes backfires too because although these folks might have a lot of followers that same audience usually does not watch or buy things especially millennials. My teens haven’t watched a real tv show in YEARS. Every one of my kids friends watches stuff on the internet, netflix etc.
We tried to tell them.
And I still won’t watch it
nah if David Stern was still the commissioner then yes. Adam Silver? Has no fux allocated. He just is keen on them fighting etc out in public.
She just couldnt go to school and get a proper education. Become a lawyer or a doctor or something. Anything is better than starring in this trash ass show.
Wow.. Welp i see what u were saying lol
Alternative facts?
Fame monster…

Had the money to attend the best school in the world!! And at one time I thought she would look to pursue something……but alas!!
Im sure folks said the same thing about Janet when she came along and wanted to follow in the fam footsteps and went to be on Good Times. It was considered offensive and not that good when it was out too. This show I dont agree with but her trying to act might not be THAT bad.
Over and Over………but they learning real quick. I am still chuckling about the Syrian co-worker, whose husband voted for him and now they need to wait and see of that vacation to DR is going to be possible. I feel sorry for the wife, who did NOT vote for trump….but the hubby…..nope!!
Truth. You know I am. What have I ever done to you?
It isn’t her acting that bothers me….it is the show and who produced it and his excuse for it. I hope she gets in, gets the experience and exposure and gets out. But really had hoped she had remained the low key one and did the school route.
We still have Blanket!!
Right…Id rather her do anything, anything…that is not related to drugs.
Serves his azz right, but unfortunately we ALL have to suffer for their stupidity.
Right!!
I dont eva care for a post about any of Michaels children. I dont know why, I just dont
Say what you want to say.
You could have painted my dining room. Next time come through.
Not shyt. Gotcha.
But really had hoped she had remained the low key one and did the school route.
————————————-
I agree. I hoped she would go to school as well. Trying to act and sing these day is so basic. IMO
Nada to meh but to other folk?
Yes, but Janet had the Jackson genes in her DNA. Janet was born to be a superstart. Paris aint got Jackson DNA. Just the last name….
it is the show and who produced it and his excuse for it.
^^^^^^^^^^^
Norman Lear was racist and has no excuse. At all. Bc well WHITE and Jewish. School isnt for everyone. I for some reason dont think Paris would be good in school at ALL. I frfr think this is the least embarrasing route for her.
If she has drug problems, Hollyweird is the last place she needs to be.
Ditto.
I hope everyone is able to continue to live as they had. If not, I’m lurking in the shadows waiting to buy homes, businesses, and other property that will go into foreclosure.
I guess that would be the upside.
Anything would have been better than trying to watch this!!
I said nothing at all….?
I dont think she has a drug issue. I think she is rich and young and experimental. I remma when everyone counted Nicole Richie out. Bc she didnt have Richie genes and said she wasnt gonna be shat but a heroin addicted adopted daughter of a star. Same EXACT thing. She got off heroin, got into a few projects…got married and settled down.
Humph I knew there was a reason she was “identifying” as black all of a sudden even though she had not once spoke out about racism and the injustices black ppl face ? She justified her boyfriend wearing the confederate flag so to take folks mind off of that she said hey I’m black just so those rating won’t take a dive when she comes on board. Everybody wants to profit off of black ppl but nobody wants to support black ppl everybody wanna be black but don’t nobody want to be black! ? Girl bye!! Your momma and your daddy white you were raised by a black male with mental issues end of story
Lawd,
My coworker just told me her brother got shot over the weekend. God damn Chicago. SHYT!
Touche’
Everybody wanna be black, but no one wants to BE black…
My condolences for your co worker this is getting so close to home my cousin bd was shot murdered in the street a few months ago
Girl he was a bouncer at a club. Some fool gets into an argument and starts shooting. Her brother got shot in the back. And this was in a GOOD part of the city.
She is as white as the snow on winter day in Vermont
Will Paris be able to act??
I just don’t know nae what happened to the good old days when you would just take an ass whoopin. These bullets are hitting everyone not just there intended target and ruining family’s lives not just the victims but also the shooters fam..just sad?
Ummmmm…. ok lol
LOL, These posts be flowing with such a hateful rhythm is just funny af sometimes. But I’m a skeptic too. These screen tests with rich child stars always seem to go well. No one ever tells them they can’t act. Also why do tyler Perry and lee daniels, a much better filmmaker than PERRY IMO, love reality stars and celebutantes.
No thank you!
In my non Hollywood opinion….they already have a following of some sort.
I think after Bobbi Kris, TP won’t cast anymore “children of the dearly departed (too soon)”. I have to admit some of Lee Daniels work is more original but I think both life to put on reality stars (e.g. Kim kardashian on The Counselor…with multiple lines)
When Miss Lawrence (who only has a few lines per episode) is the best thing about any show, it needs to be pulled ASAP.
I wanted more for her than Lee Daniels
Say what you’re thinking.
I haven’t done anything to other people. Name one person I’ve done something to.
Yep!!
She’s wearing my workout shirt. Target $10. Now I like her, think I’ll call her PJ.
I’m going to sound like a hater. But somewhere are a dozen or so girls who actually trained or have acting credits, but didn’t get this opportunity.
That part!
Everyone wants the title but nobody wants to wear the crown. That crown is heavy ?
Oh wow. Now I’m going to watch the show. You know now that they have Paris on there. With her being black and all.
Or who need the paycheck.
What. Good Times was always considered good. Janet had talent and had performed with her family for years.
IF??? Chick stay in rehab on the down low.
Im drawing a blank
So does she actually have Jackson blood in her? I never knew the details. Just that debbie rowe is her mom. There is something about her look that screams “Jackson” so i always assumed she is definitly a Jackson aka part black/af.am.?
So a hard working actress who is deserving of the role and needs the paycheck won’t get the job because this good for nothing suicidal brat who never has to work a day in her life just HAS to be a star. I liked her better with the mask over her face and her mouth shut….
Exactly!…..
Perfectly said. He earned all that money just to give it back to the white man. Paris who is allegedly black is only seen with white men. Prince Michael …well he just looks like a big old white boy but sounds like a wigga. I’ve only seen him with sprites. Blanket could be white and Hispanic or Middle Eastern. He…well he just looks confused all the time. Poor thing. Bottom line…MJ’s DNA died with him.
You’re joking right. She’s lily white with devil eyes.
Nice. A cigarette in her hand. She’s on the right track.
Hahaha! No im very serious!!! Something about her eyes give me Ms. Katherine vibes. See this y i asked the garden and not google:)
I get what you’re saying. I agree somewhat. But I hope you felt the same way when Tyler Perry gave Bobbie Kris a chance one part, due to her being messed up about her mother. I just don’t like double standards.
Paris is pretty. Thats all i have to say about that.
it’s so easy for non-blacks, she probably can’t even act, but because she’s jackson’s “test tube” baby, she gets all the breaks, SMH.
Paris is giving me all type of Rachel dolezal vibes.
I wish Prince had produced a daughter. She would have been so gifted and talented. Paris is going to bring those ratings so high. That it will be renewed for the next five years..
Soooo…Mike didn’t contribute ANY dna?
Still won’t watch. I prefer not to support that mess.
Is she even half breed? She’s a white girl with a horrible weave; Rachael delozal type of sh!t. I hate her character so much, I can’t watch the whole thing.
Exactly
Ones things for sure Paris is gorgeous, I wishe she would put her energy into modeling or something ?
With Lee Daniels work, just about any celebrity can be plugged in! He delivers nighttime soap dramas. I like Star, and could easily dislike the Star, but she is what you often get when you have been in the system and abused. I can’t stand how they have Queen Latifah looking with those clown wigs, horrible! But, the hard knock girls tryna make it as singers is way better than tryna make it with back pages!
She looking rough, tyrese looking rough
SPEAK!
It would be different if Paris used her wealth and resources to start a production company that put herself on and also created jobs for others. What you’re saying is true she is being greedy but that’s Hollywood. By identifying as black, she will take up cultural jobs too.
No comparison. Bobby Kris was nowhere near as wealthy as Paris Jackson, was not white or as advantaged, was not, lord forgive me, pretty or talented, and was a self destructive drug addict in need of Tyler’s mentorship opportunity because she had no other oportunities.
Paris Jackson is privileged and do mainstream Hollywood not take a spot on a cultural show. But she will bring ratings.
I haven’t watched that show yet.
She could be doing alot worse than smoking a cigarette.
LOL!
Mr. Lawrence
Rotflmao
I get where you’re coming from but wealth is wealth. No matter who is wealthier, neither one would’ve had to work. And unfortunately, like you said, it will bring ratings and that’s what it’s about. Plus would it have been different if he took a more deeper approach like Tyler perry and said he would mentor her?? Because she may not be addicted to drugs like BK but she does seem troubled. Especially with being suicidal.
I blame Michael for that though. He led those kids to believe that they are apart of him. When Stevie wonder can see those are white kids made by two white parents. So now she believes she’s half black. We all know she’s not but I think she actually believes she is. And that’s because her father told her she was.
Frfr she is pure white not a drop of negro in her and Micheal was a real negro remember he used to have a bell pepper ?
Lol yeah I remember
I hear the show is really good. I haven’t been interested in watching it.
I have not watched it either. Why you call it mess tho??
Aww Paris you are in my prayers girl, this life ain’t no crystal stair!
The only thing I will be watching on/off is Taboo on FX and a few Japanese animes. I really don’t care for the programming drama that is Lee Daniel’s…affiliated.
Still not watching. Will not support any project by Lee Daniels.
Still not watching. Will not support any project by Lee Daniels.
Thinking the same thing she looks just like Debbie Rowe
I just want to know why she gotta look like Miley though ….
she looks like Miley Cyrus … but you ain’t heard that from me ….lol
RIGHT. Working for shits and giggles.
She has some beautiful eyes!
She is shaped like her too.
Very Pretty.
the girls in the show aren’t the best. it’s definitely a platform for up and coming’s to get their feet wet. from episode 1 to 4 the acting definitely improved. it helps that the newbies are surrounded by seasoned actors/actresses to assist. and honestly….if we all had avenues to help us in the field of our dreams we would use it so I’m not gonna knock her hustle. she’s also using her name to continue humanitarian efforts across the globe. if she can do it, why not?
She looks a lot like Joe Jackson https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1d3a92b626d9051d6d99c42c8f36adbaa68e81c19901f357d1a7abb910f6d760.jpg ‘s niece.
Concur!
