JACKSON KIDS AMONG “MOST FASCINATING” OF 2009
Michael Jackson’s kids Prince Michael,12, Paris,11, and Blanket,7, were seen leaving a karate studio in Los Angeles, CA. Also pictured with the trio were their cousins Jaafar and Jermajesty, and Michael’s honorary son Omer Bhatti.
Meanwhile, according to legendary Journalist Barbara Walters, Michael’s kids are one of the most fascinating people of the year. So she has decided to profile the late King of Pop’s kids on her “Most Fascinating” show next week.
Walter’s annual show,”Barbara Walters Presents: The 10 Most Fascinating People” of 2009, will air on December 9th.
BCK Says: Are you fascinated by the Jackson kids?

Yes Khrish
. I won’t be contributing my regular rhetoric. I like these kids. It’s hard to believe that they are almost half grown!

I know, right? The second I saw the photo, I rolled my eyes skyward and said, “Oh Sweet Jesus, here we go again.”
Brb. Going to brace myself for yet another useless paternity argument.

Hi LEO! I love you, too!

It’s great to see the children active. Karate lessons should make them strong phsically as well helping them become disciplined and focused.

I am going to stick with the “fascinating” theme here(and we should all do so
) and am going to say yes, BCK, i am fascinated by the kids. Their dad was so fascinating so they should be, too. I am looking forward to watching the show!

I think what makes them so facinating is how inaccessible they have been for so long. MJ was the most facinating star that ever lived not only because of his talent but because we know practically nothing about his personal life so it figures that everyone is now interested in his kids. They seem like really nice, well brought up kids, so let’s hope they continue that way. They are so cute too, especially little Blanket.

Yes they are facsinating kids because their father was fascinating. They look happy and well. Glad to see them that way.

I really like these kids. Look at Blanket in that last pic! A little comedian.

Wow Prince sure has Mike’s Mannerisms. He looks at the camera and does his head etc. like his Father. Like mine always said ‘you feed it enough and it will begin to look like you” They look happy – this is good.

I’m glad to see that MJ’s kids are moving on with their lives, and seem to be happy with their new routine. I do wish however the media would stop stalking them and allow them to grow up in privacy. MJ was a celebrity, not the children…and even celebs deserve privacy too…
Flag this
They do seem really happy now. I really do not find them all that fascinating. I was huge Jackson 5 Fan when I was little, but really wasn’t that into him after Off the Wall. I am sorry he died but I am not fascinated at all by this family anymore. How about we just let them be kids and live as normal a life as possible.

They are getting OLD! Can’t believe it was just last year they lived their lives as if everyday was halloween! I’m glad they are living an almost normal life but that older boy looks like future trouble. God bless them.

jermajesty looks drunk!

Wow, Prince is really starting to look like MJ. He has his mannerism and his eyes. It’s almost eerie. But it a very fortunate way. I can’t wait to see if they’ve inherited his talent. Great looking kids. They’re growing so fast.

@TJ…yes Prince does look EXACTLY like Michael and I am not ashamed to post this comment.
It has nothing to do with arguing over paternity just because some one may comment that a child looks like a parent to them.
Man children get this kind of compliment every single day so why not Michael’s kids?
Also, I still do not believe that Omer is any kind of Michael Jackson “honorary” son…I believe that he is Michael’s biological son, just as Prince, Paris and Blanket are his biological kids too….just my opinion.
Flag this
@BCK FANATIC
a real giveaway that Omar is not Mike’s real son, is his height. Omar is very short, while Mike was quite tall, 5’10″. You can see it in the pics of Mike’s biological kids, they have taken in Mike’s growth spurt. Prince and Paris are tall for their age, and Prince II is growing up there as well, he’s almost as nearly as tall as Omar.
Plus I think being bestowed an “Honorary son” of the Jacksons is just as a good as being a Jackson. You got Joe Jackson’s blessing, you are protected for life.

Sigh, if only the media would leave them alone. And there are those who wonderd why he kept them sooo protected, he knew.

Can’t they be left alone? And Barbara Walters hit a new low when she went to the Memorial, had her assistant sitting next to her record on her cell phone Paris crying in her seat and played it on national television. That’s disgusting on several levels.

r u kidding me? If that is so,that is quite low.
There father did just recently pass. You’d think the media would back off just a little.

Journalism lost its integrity a long, long time ago. Sensationalism rules the day, and the frenzy around these children is still going strong. They’re going to milk that cash cow until it’s skin and bones…then they’ll probably beat it.
Slightly off-topic: I finally got a good long look at Klein yesterday. IF these children have his blood in them, then I hope those genes remain recessive throughout their lives. He is not a passably handsome man at all.

LOL. Agree on all points with you, Leo.

Yeah as Prince gets older, the more he looks like Michael, very eerie. I have no words for Blanket other than a clone of daddy. Paris is beautiful, she has this biracial beauty about her. God bless these kids, Michael raised them well and I hope what he installed in them will stay with them forever.

That picture of lil prince/blanket in his karate pose is too cute…awww.

Those are Michael’s kids. It is a shame most of American black people do not know their history. Well for one the history of black slaves has a lot of white master raping..no offense..in it.
I am of tunisian descent and I have very very light people in my family. My mom has blonde hair and I did when I was younger. race is a very funny thing. Don’t let white people try to claim these kids. They are mixed just like thousands of people across the world
go open a book and learn the real history

These beautiful kids are quite fascinating, but I think Barbara should chill, cuz this Media attention is exactly what MJ was trying to avoid for his kids by making them wear those masks in public.
This is a grieving family attempting to get their lives back to normal. I definately think the media should fall back, out of respect for…..er, wait a minute….i forgot, THEY HAVE NO RESPECT!!! smdh

The first one looks like his dad, Dr Arnold Klein.
Flag this
I see zero resemblance between Michael Jackson and those three children. The first one looks just like Klein to me. Chill out, I have never believed those children are Michael’s from the first time I saw them, and I still don’t. And I doubt these kids are reading this. If they are, I cannot say I care. This is Michael’s fault for lying to the world in the first place. People are always going to speculate about them unless they come out with a DNA test, like it or not. If the kids are smart, they will look at themselves and question their paternity.
Flag this
@delilah…you are not only wrong about the paternity of Michael’s kids but most disturbing is your meaness and immaturity in regards to your comments on whether or not you care if his children are reading things like this!
How dare you say that MJ lied about his kids paternity!
Why would he lie to the world?…No sweetie, the MEDIA lied and folks like you are just ignorant enough to believe it!
Stop being a rude hater and go and educate yourself!
Having an opinion is one thing BUT saying that you dont care about those innocent kids feelings takes this sensitive subject matter to a whole different level!
Grow up…you really should be ashamed of yourself….so d@mn rude and insensitive!

First of all no one knew Michael personaly, and biracial children do come in all shades and color. There was a interacial couple that was featured in Britain, the father was biracial and only one of their children looked White and the others looked biracial. So these can definelty happen but for all three children to look White, yeah right. Michael has lied about the paternity of his children. He said Prince II mother is Black.
As far as Arnold Klein, he never said he wasn’t the father of Michael’s children, he said to the “best of my knowledge” and if he was lying the Jackson clan would have sued him for defemation of character. Dr.Klein knew Michael, not us. So people need to get over the fact of DNA. DNA doesnt make a father love does.
Flag this
@get over it…Michael’s kids DO NOT look white so what are you saying?
Flag this
I have full blooded Italian friends who are the same complextion as Michael’s children. In my opinion Omer Bhatti looks very similiar to Prince II and I believe they share the same mother and father. I believe they only reason why people are fascinated by Michael’s children are because they don’t look like the typical biracial children. I gurantee if they looked like Jermaine’s biracial children the media and world would careless. My friend adopted a little girl and no one can tell she is adopted because she looks just like my friend and her husband.
As far as Dr. Klein his only concerned was Prince I and Paris. That speaks alot in my opinion. And he knows he could get sued for defamation of character. Debbie Rowe walked away for her children and I will never understand that one. She was selfish and didnt even consider they psycological issues she left her children with. I am disappointed that her parental rights are not taken away. Not to be racist truth is Michael surrounded his self around White people and choose to have children with White women. Michael didn’t want the typical biracial looking child.
Flag this
@get over it…exactly what is there to get over?…these ARE Michael’s BIOLOGICAL children…trust me when I say this!
Lets just say that I am more blood related to these kids than Dr Klein will EVER be!
Dr Klein IS NOT the biological father to Prince nor Paris…Michael is!
I cant say much more other than facts ARE facts and you dont have a clue as to what you are saying…an opinion yes, a clue, NO!!!!
Flag this
I have nothing against Debbie Rowe. She acted as a surrogate. Now, I can’t get into the minds of people who do it, but to those who use them to incubate their children, bear them and so forth, they are providing nothing short of miracles. Not all of us are meant to be parents, that doesn’t make her a bad person. She gave Michael the greatest gift of his life, more precious than any money—children. Sure she stood to gain from it, not different than the way the rest of the world operates—you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours.
I will say that marriage was a sham, it was for show. But that was his show to run. He was brought up in a traditional way and probaly wanted that for his kids and plus he also cared to much in my opinion about what the general population would think.
As far as who the bio dad is, who knows? I have high respect for MJ for the performer and I do believe deep down, he was a gentle spirit, but I remember the Oprah Winfrey interview when he wasn’t entirely forthcoming about the changes in his appearance…that just stuck with me.
At any rate. I see those children as his–I am not hung up on DNA either way.
I do agree with you on one point, if those children didn’t look caucasian, sorry all these others saying they look bi-racial, particularly the older two, –yeah, there are a few bi-racial that look this way, but many more who look more like Lenny Kravitz, Barak Obama, Halle Barry. Those two could easily pass for white. Just like there are light and dark blacks, there are light and dark whites.

I had my doubts but Prince is looking like Mike more each day…
Flag this
I just hope that they do not have anxieties later that debilitate them as adults such as if Katherine Jackson passes away and the yend up having to live with a whole new household with Diana Ross. That is just too much adjustments to account for. But, with it being Michael Jakcsons wishes I hope they prevail and have pleasant lives. They look very happy.
Flag this
Here’s my opinion, not that I believe looking like someone is biological evidence, nor does it really matter:
Prince – Spitting image of Samuel Jackson (Joseph Jackson’s father) with Debbie’s chin. Gorgeous boy with his father’s mannerisms and expressions near perfection.
Paris – A model-material version of Debbie. She has Debbie’s nose, lips and a smaller version of her chin. Her beautiful bone structure reminds me of the Jacksons.
Blanket – Other than his straight hair and lighter skin, it frightens me how much he looks like Michael. Those huge, wide-set doe eyes don’t lie! It’s almost as though he’s a clone, other than his slightly smaller nose and lips.
Flag this
I love Mike’s babies.

I think those are his kids, when you get pass color the oldest kid looks like a white version of dancing machine/off the wall michael,he even has those freakishly huge hands that michael had. girl looks like her mom but it looks like her and the other boy(is that jermaine’s son?)have the same big ears. And the youngest kid looks like michael too.
i don’t why black folks try to act like Mj”s kids are some kind of genetic anomaly. Get real. I got folks in my family who look like them and they have 2 black parents. How do ya’ll think some many blacks were able to pass for white? I’ve got some passers in my family and you probably do too. all black people are mixed take a look around your family renunion next time and see all the different looks

and another thing after i looked again those kids arent even that white. these pictures look like they were taken in sunlight. their cousin jermajesty or whatever his name looks much lighter here than he usually does too and mj kids arent that much lighter than him

They all look healthy. ris is a little lady, Prince is growing into a handsome young man, and Blanket is going to be a handful. THey are going to make their father proud.

When the kids are able to sign their own checks and other documents related to their inheritances, I hope the kids realize that when their Dad legally gave them the Jackson name, he gave them the greatest gift of all.

@Pisces…Michael legally gave HIS BIOLOGICAL CHILDREN the “Jackson name” at CONCEPTION…NOT ADOPTION!!!!!
Gee Whiz….What is wrong with some of you people on here?????

I agree with you “Relatively Speaking”, totally. People argue about the kids coloring and hair texture, but Michael has left them an abundance of “green” which should get them through quite nicely . The kids were really loved by their Dad from their births.
Should any future psychological issues around their biological or ethnic identities arise, they can rest assured knowing they’ll have enough money to get the proper therapy or anything else that makes them feel better about themselves.
Flag this
Compassion much?
I really hope that you’re not an adult or a parent yourself because the amount of scorn, callousness, and immaturity in your tone for children that you don’t even know is a bit much. I really doubt those kids give a damn about some money they would have inherited anyway. I think they would have much rather their father had been around to see them grow up, to answer any questions they may have had for him, to finish raising them… than to have just an inheritance and memories.
Flag this
2muchsense, I think you misconstrued my comment about the inheritances that the kids received. I’m pro the success of these children and inheritances are a blessing for anyone who receives them. I have read that Prince is highly attentive and interested in any business that involved his father and around court issues concerning him and his siblings..
Of course, I agree with you that no amount of money takes the place of a loved one.
I’m sorry that I angered you just by stating some facts about the children inheriting money. It’s true that the money may not mean a lot to them now, they’re children. It will mean a whole lot to them in the long run just like it does now to the adults surrounding them.
The money he left them is supporting the lifestyle he left them accustomed to, personal chefs, nannies, etc.
Please don’t misconstrue/twist my statements or intent in commenting at this site. The topic was about the Jackson kids being featured one Barbara Walters Most Fascinating People show.
Some people find them fascinating as you can read, because of how they look and were conceived, I find them fascinating for all the wealth they’ve suddenly inherited and I look forward to seeing how they put it to use in the future.
The bottom line is my statements are as valid as yours and opinions just like yours. And yes..I have inherited in my life time and am in a position to do so again so I personally know how great it is that these kids won’t have to work a day in their lives if they don’t want to. Michael was a great parent to do it for them. And because of allegations as to how they were conceived didn’t mean they were guaranteed to inherit. Wills and paternity of children are challenged in probate court on the regular.
I have no beef with you, in fact I thought you made some heartfelt comments about this topic in the past. I apologize if I offended you in any way, however, your nasty tone towards me was totally unwarranted in this case.

I never insinuated that the kids were adopted. He signed their birth certificates. For Christ’s sake he bragged in an interview about cutting Paris’ umbilical cord and wrapping her up and running out of the hospital with her with Debbie’s permission.
When I say Michael legally gave him the Jackson name, I mean within the time period of their conception and births while he was married to Debbie Rowe who birthed the 1st two kids.
Remember Debbie’s big belly pregnant on the cover of Ebony magazine and later family portraits of Michael, Debbie, Prince and Paris ?
All documented for posterity and evidence if need be.
Flag this
Haha, and your proof is? Don’t you guys get tired of insinuating that these kids aren’t his biologically?
I’ll admit that I think it is extremely rare for not one, two, but THREE biracial children to have the hair type they have, considering Michael’s natural hair type, but we have to remember that MJ was filthy rich. If he wanted his children to have designer features, it probably could be a reality. It’s not all that unbelievable with modern advancements in genetics. Just my point of view.
Flag this
@Passing Through…lol…I agree with you 100% in regards to the paternity of MJ’s kids.
that Paris gets the flat iron on her hair as well as a kid relaxer on occasion…I believe this because sometimes her hair looks frizzy and sometimes it looks straight and shiny…as for Prince, his hair texture is course, yet straight and with a little curl pattern…very typical for some bi racial kids…as for Blanket, his hair is mostly straight because its so long…when he was a baby and his hair first start coming in he had huge locks of black curls mixed with some straight.
As for thier hair texture, I had read somewhere
Once his hair is cut it wont be straight like it is now.
Trust me, I know these things on a very personal level
Yes, yes and yes…these are Michael’s BIOLOGICAL kids.
Flag this
You are grasping at straws. Paris gets her hair relaxed? Ridiculous. None of these children have hair that is typical of mixed children. There are white people have hair that is much wavier and curlier than those three kids. Face it. They are not Jacksons. All of the Jackson children who have mothers with straight hair have curly/kinky hair. Except maybe Jermajesty. Yet Michael magically pops out three with no hint of [word omiited] in it? Get real.
Flag this
i just read in some article about paris getting a hair cut that they had to blow it out straight first, so i think you may be right. and i agree about the hair length. from these pictures i would be willing to bet if paris’s hair was a short as jermajesty’s it would be just as curly, i think they have the same hair texture you just can’t tell cause her hair is so long it weighs it down.
Flag this
Why on earth would she need a relaxer at all? All she’d need is a blow out and maybe a flat iron if she wanted it bone straight. Her hair, as it was in that video where she and her brother were in their PJs, was curly but not nearly enough for a relaxer. Until I see a photo of her leaving a store with a box or tub of relaxer, I’m putting that in the Doubtful file.

Michael Jackson was an amazing man. Three half black children in a row, and none of them black.
Halle berry has a 1/4 black child and it doesn’t look white. Boris Becker has 3 1/4 black children and none of them look white. The waters at Neverland must have had some magical powers.
Wow.

Boris Becker has 3 1/4 black children and none of them look white.
Funny, I always thought his daughter was his clone. I couldn’t find a speck of her mother in that child (and I looked!).
Flag this
Boris little girl does look a bit like her mother. But then again, her mother is half white. If you look at them side by side, she looks like her mother in the face, but with Boris light coloring. Despite her coloring, I would not say she looks white. Just like Karyn Parsons daughter. Her daughter is 3/4 white and very light, has blonde hair and blue eyes, but looks just like her mother in the face. No matter how light she is, she does not look like a white child.
Flag this
you need to get your eyes check, i have seen pics of that little girl and her mom and she looks NOTHING like her. that little girl is boris’s clone, that’s one of the strongest parent-child resemblances i have ever seen. shrink boris down, make him feminine with longer hair and you get his daughter
Flag this
I’d like to think of that case as nature’s way of saying, “Yea. Try denying that you slept with this woman and fathered this child. Just TRY.” Cuz, whoa! You don’t need to go on Maury to figure that one out at all.
Also, of all the 1/4 black children that she mentioned, and I’d like to add Thandie Newton’s daughters to the mix, Boris daughter is the only one who could most successfully pass for white – if the world didn’t know about her mother. She’s much more lighter in skin and hair colour than the much contested Jackson 3.
Flag this
not that it matters cause we are talking about different people with different genes,
but boris’s daughter does not look black, and there’s no way you can say she does because she’s just as white as boris, has silky straight, blond hair and looks JUST like him in the face, she’s looks like a literal clone of him, so if you think she has “black features” then i guess nordic looking boris does too because all her features are like his.

Since some people seem to be stuck on skin colors and complexions regarding the Jackson’s and Michael’s kids, go check out this new youtube video which was made on Thanksgiving by Randy’s sons…it shows Jermajesty, Jafaar,Donte, Randy Jr, Blanket and Prince…look how light skinned all of the Jackson kids are…those pics that we see online make those kids appear a whole lot darker than they really are.
Also, when you look at this video you will see that MJ’s kids ARE blood related Jacksons…look very similair to thier cousins.
Check it out..just type in the name of the video (I will not post the link due to BCK rules)….heres the name of the video on youtube…”The Jackson family kids’ Thanksgiving video”

Michael will always be one of the greatest entertainers of all times. I don’t why people find it so hard to believe that Michael wanted White children. He even adored Prince I having blonde hair. In my opinion Michael didn’t want typical looking biracial children. And as far as Vitilago White people can get it too. My friend is White and she has White patches on her hands and white spots on her face. She can only tell she has it when she gets tanned in the summer.
Flag this
Get over it, you are one of the few people who actually make some sense. These children are not Michael Jacksons children. Doesn’t matter how many youtube videos those fool want you to watch. The children are not half black. Period. I wish they would do a DNA test on all the kids, so the idiots could be proven wrong. MICHAEL YOU ARE NOT THE FATHER!!!
As for Princes so called vitiligo, that looks like a tan peeling off and fading to me. It happens to white people who spend too much time in the sun. And guess what? White people who get their haor trimmed in salons get it blown straight too. There are white people with hair much curlier than any of these three children.
Flag this
Agree. I’m with you on this Leo. Only these three kids can walk into court and get something from Michael’s estate, legally acknowledged as his heirs.
Flag this
I just would like to add, to all of those that believe these kids belong to anyone one else, how do you explain the absence of these “stand up” White men and women in these children’s lives?
All the money in the world could not stop a real, loving, parent from claiming offspring that rightfully belong to them. Especially now that MJ is deceased. It would behoove the “real parents, sperm donors, surrogates” to surface now because they could profit financially if they could prove their claims. Even if it meant writing a book or getting custody of the kids because they can tell what it was like to live with MJ.
Lots of people including MJ’s family of origin are capitalizing financially from their association with these kids and their deceased father. Does it really make sense that any White man who is really the kids Dad would just be quietly sitting on the side lines while everyone else gets rich off of his biological kids? Not likely!
H-E-double hockey sticks! Debbie Rowe, since Michael died, has already been financially compensated as the acknowledged biological of the older kids. If anyone else is out there in a similar position as she is, it is only logical that they would be seriously coming forward. Michael’s estate will only be increasing in worth in the future, and the kids will become richer and richer.
I believe that anyone in their right mind who claims to be the biological mother or father would be proving it. No one has been able to successfully challenge or prove that the children belong with any other man or sperm donor.
I know I’m making a futile effort in commenting here, because it is evident that most people just like to talk about how these kids look, not the fact that they are able to be sustained in the lifestyle they’re accustomed to because of their deceased father’s financial worth and love and generosity which he extended to them while he was alive and after his death.
Even if you don’t believe these kids sprang from the King of Pops loins, he owned them legally, outright just as he owned his wigs, cars, the Beatles catalog, rights to songs he penned and any of his other worldly possessions.
And these kids, whether they’re considered Ebony or Ivory, hopefully will be living in harmony and laughing all the way to the bank while people wonder who they really are or belong to.
Flag this
Not talking about whose children these may be; but to answer your concern about people coming forward. Legally, if MJ had them sign secrecy or no comment agreements; this would remain in effect even after his death. So no one would come forward lest they be sued for violation of the contract.

I believe Omer Bhatti is Michael’s son, he looks identical to him and Joe Jackson said that he is Michael’s son. Omer and Prince II look like twins at this age. And why would Michael have Omer around his children all these years if he wasn’t his son. Rumour had it that Riz Bhatti is his step-father.
Flag this
1. Joe never said directly that Omer was Michael’s son. When asked, he said “Maybe. Could Be. The kid can dance” or something to that effect. If Omer is his grandson, I don’t see why he didn’t give a straight answer instead of fanning the flames. The fact that the media knew his name and history meant that his cover was blown – there is no reason to shield him.
2, As for why Michael would have Omer around his children, maybe it’s as simple as Michael liking him. The child’s mother and ackowledged father did work on the property for some time; it’s not far fetched to think Michael grew attached to Omer. After all, Michael had several children visiting and staying at Neverland Ranch until the second scandal.
3. I’m wary of rumours. Rumour also had it that Michael was a closet homosexual and a pedophile, and look how damaging those were. One rumour even said that Tom Cruise’s adopted son is really Michael’s child, and that Michael gave the boy away at birth because he was born visibly black. As far as we all know with certainty, Michael had 3 legally recognised and publicly acknowledged children. Unless a document or a video turns up executed by Michael’s own hand that acknowledges Omer as his first born biological son or (preferably) a DNA test is done and publicised to put this to rest once and for all, I’m not ready to jump on the ‘Omer Bhatti Jackson bandwagon’.
I’m not interested in testing these three children as Michael was there legal and spiritual father, blood-related or not. It’s the ones that the media want to attribute to him that I’m raising at eyebrow towards.

i hope his children are doing well i pray for them and the family to it must be very hard for them but they seem very happy but i have to say no matter what you peole have to say mj loved his childrn he gave them the world and they loved him. i think that makes him a father in my book? he cared for them i hope they do grow up seeing who the real mj is not the one the press wnted him to be very sweet children r.i.p king of pop

all 3 of these children are beautiful and seemingly well brought up. but…i find it hard to believe that jernaine and randy can have biracial kids that all look biracial but mike’s 2 oldest kids dont look biracial at all. blanket looks too much like michael as a child,so im sure that he’s michael’s bio son. he just has lighter skin and straight hair texture but they look so much alike its uncanny. paris looks just like debbie,just better looking. and yes prince looks like klein. and anyone who cant see that has selective eyesight. those oldest look nothing like how michael or any of the other jacksons look! at all. they dont look half black either. i love me some mj,always have and always will. but i cant pretend to see something thats not there! michael did have vitiligo but he didnt want black kids. how do i know? cuz he didnt have black kids(except blanket). he used a white man’s sperm for his 2 oldest kids. he didnt want to use his black sperm. cuz that would have given him half black kids. i do believe that someone fed to his ego or he finally came to his senses and realized having a black kid wouldnt be so bad and thats how blanket came to be. and he even dyed prince’s hair blonde when he was little cuz he wanted blonde haired blue eyed kids. but at the end of the day he was their dad and thats what really matters. and im sure the kids consider themselves black anyway.

Kim
I don’t think Blanket is his son either. Take away the similarly posed pictures and the same expressions and he doesn’t look like Michael at all. Blanket looks mestizo and even Latoya said that Michael chose anonymous sperm to create Blanket. He didn’t want dark nappy haired children. So he engineered children without his sperm.
Flag this
Not that I agree with kim’s post, but Blanket doesn’t look like MJ only based on facial expressions. He has his eyes, (original!) nose, lips, chubby cheeks, chin, and just about everything other than hair texture and skin color. And even if he didn’t, you can’t tell biological links solely on external appearance.
And using La Toya’s opinion as evidence is like believing the National Enquirer or Star magazine, so no.
Flag this
I think we really need to stop this ignorant sounding rhetoric. If Michael Jackson had really wanted some blonde haired blue eyed kids he could have done just what Angelina and Madonna did and went to some poor European country and adopted some. He didn’t have to go through the trouble of marrying his second wife and trying to pass off someone else’s child as his own. Question: If he wanted a blonde headed blue eyed child so bad…why didn’t he dye his daughter’s hair blonde and make his son wear blue contacts? I mean come on.
Yall so busy thinking someone is trying to put one over on you that you can’t concede to the thinking that it could have been as simple as Debbie Rowe having stronger genes than Michael’s. They’re still kids come see me after puberty sets in…
Randy and Jermaine have had biracial children with Latina women (Randy-2 and Jermaine- 4) and a Persian woman (Randy-1). Obviously that is not the same as having a child with White woman with blonde hair and blue eyes so, yes, his children’s coloring was going to be different.

@ Kim , you just contradicted yourself. You just said , and I quote
michael did have vitiligo but he didnt want black kids. how do i know? cuz he didnt have black kids(except blanket). he used a white man’s sperm for his 2 oldest kids. he didnt want to use his black sperm. cuz that would have given him half black kids. Read this again, this doesn’t make sense.
(2) Have you seen Marlons grankids? They look white.And its Jackson blood in their veins. Also there is no wway in hell Klein and Debbie together made Prince. Prince and Paris are not the product of 2 white people. These 2 kids have a dark complexion. They are not fully white. For heaven sake get over the damn complexion and hair texture.
(3) I also find it really strange that Michael wanted to have PURE white kids ,but everyone who new him said he wanted his KIDS to know their history, BLACK HISTORY. He had them listen to Bill Cosby tapes everyday. They knew more about Black history than most people. y the hell would he force black history on 2 white kids? Y even bother. I remember when Prince was born , he was about 2 months old, and Mike was so excited, he said Prince looks so much like his Grandfather also named Prince. He was so excited. Get over it that is the mans kids. And for people saying they find it strange that a black man have 3 kids and they all loo white, try 5. I have a family friend who has 5. 4 girls , and one boy.There is one who kinds looks black. You can tell a little she looks like Sophia Richie, Lionel’s daughter. Their mother is British , their father is Black from the islands.

LOL at all the fools in here saying klein is father, michael’s kids might light but they aint that white. show me one picture where those kids look like pale pink sausages and then maybe the story about klein would have credibility. prince and paris were already darker than klein as babies, then klein is now.
also to “get over it”
the only thing klein showing up in the custody court says to me is he knows how to play the media and the dumb american public.
klein is under investigation for michaels death just like conrad murray, of course most people don’t know this because he has sucessfully distracted people from that by fueling the baby daddy stories, and fools like you eat it right on up. He knows he’s not the father, klein just got lucky that he was picked by US weekly for their little “exclusive”
you would have never thought those kids looked anything like him if the media hadn’t said it and you know it.and no one would have ever thought he was the father if US weekly hadn’t picked him to be the “daddy” for their bull crap story.
if you just go back and look at what klein’s been doing since michael died you will notice a pattern. everytime Tmz or some other news source announced something about the investigation that had to do with him, he would pop up and do some kind of interview and talk about the kids, which distracted people from what was going on in the death case. everytime his offices were being searched or raided, all of a sudden he would have his lawyer show up in court and try to act like he was there for the kids, and of course the media would switch and report that instead of the fact that federal agents and police just raided his office, which is exactly what he wanted.
why anybody can think that hideous man made those beautiful children is beyond me. but thats just how much people hate michael, you’d rather believe a pink mutant murderer fathered those kids than just admit their michaels. sad.
if you want to be a sucker and believe Klein’s bull then go ahead, but he doesn’t fool me, i have a mind of my own.

@ytu..I agree with you on every point made. Also, Klein has/had a lucrative practice and could afford to go the extra mile to PROVE that he was the father. But he knows he’s not and also knows right now he better keep money on hand for his defense against charges brought against him as you mentioned.
There’s more to being a father compared to donating sperm. And where was he even as a so called friend of the family to comfort the kids as they were grieving the death of the only man they knew as their father?
I’ll bet in the probate hearing when the judge talked to the kids not one of them said, “Michael Jackson is not my Daddy! Dr. Klein is my real Daddy!” Nobody else said it either.

Hi ReallyDoe…You make excellent points, too. We are all mutual admirers of each other and what we have to contribute to this discussion. And rightfully so!
We’re having a fun talking points girls party today, aren’t we?
Love these kids! Really used to love their Dad’s talents.
Ta-ta, ReallyDoe. Enjoy yourself. (That was a Jackson song, too).

Who cares about DNA love makes a parent. If Prince I, Paris, Blanket ask for a DNA in the future it will be their choice. I just feel bad that Debbie Rowe has visitation when she didn’t bother to help raise her children. In my opinion she treated Prince and Paris like objects instead of human beings. Children are gifts from God, but she took the term gift literally. I hope in the future her rights get termanated because she is confusing the Prince and Paris.

@loving life..me too, I co-sign with what you said about Debbie Rowe. She is despicable. Not even available to “her” children emotionally as they grieved at his public memorial.
If it would have taken a court order or the sheriff escorting me, if those kids came out of my belly, I could not watch them be in pain, especially for the whole world to behold, grieving and not have been close to hug them and tell them everything will be okay. That’s what Mommies do. She is a cold son of a gun.
Michael gave Debbie everything, her second legal marriage, money and the children at least in name. She got over, alright, on Michael. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again..with Debbie Rowe it must have been the booty because it sure wasn’t her beauty…inside or outside.
Ugh!

Hi Khrish! It’s always a joy to hear from you. I love when you comment on something that peaks your interest. I totally agree with the part about negotiated contracts that Michael possibly entered into with donors and surrogates other than Debbie Rowe.
But I know that you know, as astute as you are, there is an old saying that contracts were made to be broken. It’s feasible, not knowing the extent of his agreement with Debbie Rowe, that she has breached her legal agreement with Michael since his demise.
It was stated specifically in his Will that his ex-wife Debbie Rowe was excluded, but that didn’t stop her from renegotiating with the representatives of the estate to get more money in exchange for allowing the kids to remain with their grandmother.
And she did all this after having been divorced from him for years. When it comes to cashing in, people will try anything. All I’m saying is that if Klein is the Daddy, I don’t know how he can live with himself and not provide emotional or financial support to kids that he’s known all of their lives, if indeed he knows they sprang from his sperm. I never forget that his office was the connect point for Michael and Debbie getting together in the first place.
Take care Khrish! Luv ya! Peace!

I wouldn’t be surprised if the experience with Rowe was the primary motivator to have Blanket via surrogate. If what was shown on E! is to be believed, Blanket’s mother has no idea she carried and birthed Michael Jackson’s child (no paternity argument here, please; Blanket is his legal child either way). The arrangements were supposedly handled through lawyers. She’d probably walk right past Blanket and not realise he was hers.
Maybe that’s a good thing i.e. Blanket not knowing his mother, instead of finding out in court that the woman you’ve called Ms. Debbie for years is your mother. I can’t imagine what that felt like to Prince and Paris.

Yes indeed. God Bless Katherine Jackson for being in a position as most other African American grandmothers…stepping up to the plate and filling in as necessary. She helped many of her others get through and she’ll do the best she can for these 3 kids, too.

I don’t know why I become so emotional when discussing Michael Jackson’s kids. It’s just that when he was living, in spite of everything going on with him, his true love for his children was always evident. He used his resources to shower love and affection on them and I just loved that about Michael Jackson!
Matt Lauer reported on the TODAY show about an auction of Michael Jacksons possessions before he passed away. Michael had three Bentley automobiles that he set aside and did not want auctioned off because he wanted to gift each one of them to his children after each got married as wedding presents.
Even though the cars are just material symbols, to me, it was so touching that he hoped to live to see his precious babies grow into adulthood and get married and live life. He had dreams for them as we would hope all caring Daddies would have.
They don’t have him this Christmas and he used to make it Christmas for them at any given time of the year.
I feel sad for them and my heart bleeds for them losing their Daddy the way they did and them even being in the household when it happened going on 6 months ago.
I hope angels just wrap loving wings around this family.

Wow. Why do people here feel the need to say “OMG THEY ARE TOO WHITE” or “They are not his”. It’s getting old.
Do you get pleasure out of being such low-lives? Oh and just because it’s your opinion (yes an opinion because you can’t back it up w/ crediable proof) doesn’t mean you should spam this page w/ hateful comments.
They are beautiful children and I wish them all the best.

I hope that Prince and Paris see Debbie Rowe for who she is, and dont let her take advantage of them. They seem like such sweet children and they lost their father and she can’t even get them emotional support. I wished Michael would have choose someone who was mother material. Thank God for Grace being there for them. Debbie Rowe said the only reason why her and Michael parted was because she couldn’t have anymore children after Paris. I wonder if that is true?

Hi Pisces! Thanx for the shout out! And yes, this is a fun talking points girl party, I must say. LOL:}
I must say i agree with you about getting emotional about MJ and his kids…..I feel quite protective too. When people say negative things about them, I feel as if I’ve been personally insulted, I honestly do.
God Bless Katherine Jackson

Thank you too, ReallyDoe. I guess it’s our maternal instincts kicking in when it comes to these Jackson kids. It’s just that sometimes people seem to forget that they are little human beings, not just little test tube babies with no identity.
Take care.

Who even cares anymore wether or not these kids are really his. I have always liked his music, not all of his songs but most. In my opinion I never thought they were his either, and who cares! Bash me if you must for expressing my thoughts on those kids, and no I’m not going to break down a bunch of genetics talk or explanations as to what I thnk either because it’s not important, those kids are gonna be rich for the rest of their lives. Micheal knew and so does that Debbie woman, and any one else that was invovled if any.. It’s his legacy we should reflect on.. Common now *rolls eyes*

Amen to that, Pisces. People haven’t outgrown their Elementary school bullying days I see,…insinuating that 3 grieving kids’ father lied to them?! The nerve!!! And were you haters there when Mj and Debbie were “handling their business” or not? I believe I can safely answer that in the negative.
Personally, I’ll believe what MJ says over the Media, anyday. WE have sooo much proof that they’re the liers, not MJ.
Remember when they said MJ was ashamed to be black, so he bleached his skin….come to find out, poor guy had Vitiligo. They said MJ was a pedophile….years later, the young man said his father made him accuse MJ for $$$. what’s more, the father recently committed suicide…i guess he couldnt live with what he did anymore. They said MJ had many nosejobs…all he had done was one nosejob which looks altered through the years cuz he also had lupus which can “eat” at the skin (Seal also has it on his nose and cheeks). That is why doctors tell Lupus victims to steer clear of any sort of cosmetic surgery.
I can go on and on with this list of media lies, but I think you guys see where i’m going with this. Everything Michael said, turned out to be the truth. Everything the media stated about MJ has been exposed for the lies that they are. So Come on now, guys, wake up and smell the delusions…What the media tells you is NOT THE GOSPEL TRUTH!!!!!!!!!
