Celebaby: Jackson Children Give To Charity

Celebaby: Jackson Children Give To CharityI have to say I'm impresed by Michael Jackson's children.

Bearing in mind how crazy their younger years and upbringing looked, at least from the outside, they seem to have come out of it pretty unscathed...so far.

We don't tend to see or hear much from them other than when the anniversary of their father's death comes round, but they have been pictured out and about a fair bit recently, just doing normal things that normal kids do.

One thing they have done this week that's NOT what normal kids do is give away some of their father's drawings to charity.

Maybe the cynical will think it's just a publicity stunt, but what for?  They have no need to get involved in that sort of media circus and, I'm pretty sure, no desire to either.

The artwork was given to the Children's Hospital in Los Angeles as a gift to the children who find themselves unfortunate enough to be there.

All of the children wrote personal messages on the pictures, Blanket's message said

My father's art and music always make everyone happy, Blanket Jackson - I love you daddy

I must confess, Blanket looked a bit subdued in the photographs taken at the event, but the older two looked incredibly relaxed and easy with it all and, OH MY GOODNESS, look at how stunning Paris Jackson already is - she has the most amazing eyes; model material in the making!

Celebaby: Bits And Pieces

It's all fairly quiet on the Celebaby front - so here are a couple of snippets of celeb' kids and parent news...

Gwen Stefani

Celebaby: Bits And PiecesFour-year-old Kingston made his runway debut with his mum Gwen Stefani after her LAMB collection showed at New York Fashion Week.

I have to say he looks pretty cool and not at all phased by being in the limelight.

Jackson kids doing ok

Celebaby: Bits And PiecesI'm not sure why this is news but it's making headlines anyway - apparently Michael Jackson's children 'still' talk about him.  Erm, hello?!  He was their father, he's not been dead long and why wouldn't they talk about him?

Jackie Jackson recently spoke to People, saying, "They are around their father 24 hours a day," Jackson's brother said. "They have pictures in the bedroom. They talk about him all the time. They ask me stories about him. They want to know more about him."

He went on to say that all three children are doing well and told how Prince and Paris are becoming interested in following in their father's footsteps by joining the entertainment business. Prince would like to direct, while Paris would like to be an actress.

Jackie told his neice and nephew, "'You better get busy because when we were your age we were selling out concerts!" That made me laugh, c'mon kids step it up a bit!

Celebaby: Conspiracy Theories and Advertising

by Sarah Macdonald in Celebaby on 29 July, 2010 at 11:00 am

It's all about two dads in Celebaby today - Michael Jackson and one of the best conspiracy love child theories I've heard in a long time, and the nation's 'favourite' celebrity dad, Peter Andre, could be about to get his goody-two-shoes knuckles wrapped by Ofcom.

Michael Jackson's My Dad!

Celebaby: Conspiracy Theories and AdvertisingI'm surprised it's taken this long to be honest!

You have to feel for the Jackson family as a whole. Some of them quirky, yes, but they're still human beings like the rest of us, but just because they're one of the most famous families in the world, doesn't make them immune from the emotions that the near-constant barrage of accusations, revelations, stories, theories and speculation must trigger.

A woman named Mocienne Petit Jackson is claiming that Michael Jackson is her bilogical father. She also says that her mother, Barbara, is Diana Ross' sister and has filed legal documents with the Los Angeles County Superior Court making a claim for an inheritance cheque from the Jackson estate, pending the results of a DNA test.

Wait, it gets 'better'!  She also says that Katherine Jackson, Michael's mother, faked an 'abduction' where she was squirrelled away to Belgium and her alleged abductors were subsequently murdered to cover it all up!

If I was a member of the Jackson family, I wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry at this one.

An OFCOM Slap On the Wrist

Celebaby: Conspiracy Theories and AdvertisingI've never watched Peter Andre's reality TV show - I really don't see the appeal of any of them to be honest.  But I did have to chuckle when I read that someone has complained to Ofcom claiming that he advertised the Emirates airline and the Atlantis Palm resort in Dubai.

So, the episode went a bit like this: 'Peeder' takes Princess and Junior on holiday to Dubai. Princess dressed up as a member of the Emirates cabin crew (if you've ever seen a female Emirates cabin crew member then you'll understand why a little girl would want to dress like them - they are always STUNNING!) and a while later Peter said to the kids, "Will you look at this hotel!" whilst the camera showed shots of the Atlantis Palm brochure.

Well, was he advertising and endorsing all things Dubai and Emirates? I don't think so!

Celebaby: Conspiracy Theories and AdvertisingIf I took my kids to the Atlantis Palm I think I might be saying a whole lot more than 'will  you look at this hotel!' although I can't see my 15-year-old daughter dressing up as Emirates cabin crew *grin*.

What's going to be next? If we're not careful all celebrities with their own reality shows will have to be naked and walk everywhere for fear of being accused of advertising clothing ranges and car manufacturers.

Bonkers!
