The more I see of Paris Jackson the more impressed by her I become; she's 13 years old, utterly stunning already (in my opinion) and for all the craziness that's surrounded her she comes across as a very well-rounded, balanced and grounded young woman!

Appearing on the Ellen de Generes show she's spoken about her childhood, the crazy masks that Michael Jackson used to have to the kids wear (do you remember that? Do you remember how we all thought he'd turn the kids into deranged lunatics because of his 'press paranoia'?) and how she understood and was/is almost grateful, to a certain extent, as when she first went to school no one knew who she was.

"I'm like, "This is stupid, why am I wearing a mask?" But I kind of realised the older I got, he only tried to protect us and he'd explain that to us too.  I do have a regular childhood. I mean, I'm treated the same. When I came to my new school they didn't know who I was. I was like, "Yes, I have a chance to be normal"."

I told you the other day that Paris has landed herself a lead role in a movie; she's clearly a girl who knows what she wants and knows the right way to go about getting it.

I've not seen her go out dressed inappropriately, I've not seen her be anything less than polite and dignified - maybe Michael Jackson had this parenting malarkey a little more sussed than we gave him credit for and she's certainly a credit to him.

I 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!

The Jackson Kids

It's coming up to the two-year anniversary of Michael Jackson's death so the Jackson kids are popping up in the papers again.

They're looking so grown up these days; happy, easy going and relaxed are also words that can be used to describe them.

They were photographed making their way to the cinema earlier this week and Blanket (I wonder if he'll decide to change his name one day; I wonder if I would if my parents had called me Blanket...?) was wearing a rather fab' t-shirt that said:

"Plans for today: Wake up, Brush teeth, Be AWESOME!"

I'm going to make that my mantra of the day - so far I've managed two out of three; the awesome is still to come!

Rod and Baby Stewart

Whilst it only seems like yesterday that Michael Jackson's death hit the headlines (well ok, maybe a bit longer than yesterday), it feels like ages ago that I told you about the arrival of Rod Stewart and Penny Lancaster's new baby, Aiden.

There hasn't been much seen or heard of Rod's seventh child since he was born just four months ago, but he was out and about with his parents yesterday at Salon Prive - a luxury super car event that was being held in Northumberland.

Rod loves fast cars and has a stereotypical red Ferrari so perhaps he was there looking for a custom car seat to fit it, I doubt your bog standard Graco seat does.

I wouldn't drive around in a red Ferrari for love nor money; seriously, I'd rather not have one at all than have a red one. Besides, I'm a Lamborghini girl so I wouldn't be seen dead in a Ferrari anyway *grin*

More outings for Willow Sage

Willow Sage Hart has been out and about with her parents, Pink and Carey Hart, again.

This time she had lunch with them and Pink's mum; I love that they're taking her out and tweeting about how happy they are, I'm not a huge Twitter follower - I have enough trouble keeping up with my own life - but tweets like this will warm the cockles of even the coldest hearts...

We are absolutely blissed out in love over here! To our fans and friends all over the world, thank you for all of the prayers and well wishes throughout this time in our life! Carey is a natural, (I knew he would be) and I finally found out what love really means.

Everybody say 'aaahhhhhh!'

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

Gwen Stefani

Four-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

I'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!

In today's Celebaby we get a sneak preview at the new fashion range designed by Madonna and her daughter, Lourdes, and at long last see the Jackson children enjoying some freedom and having FUN!

Material Girl Mk II

If someone would like to tell me exactly WHEN Lourdes grew up that would be great, because the last time I looked she was about five!

Now, at the tender age of just 13,  she's about to launch a new clothing range for teenage girls in collaboration with her mega star mother.

Luckily for us mother's with teenage daughters can breath a sigh of relief as it's currently only available at Macys (GREAT shop!) so we won't have to run the gauntlet of teenage tantrums when we say 'NO!'

According to the Daily Mail, the style, "combines vintage Madonna with 13-year-old Lourdes' fresh style in a line that includes skinny jeans, strapless mini-dresses and naturally - a corset or two."

Can't say I'd let my 14 year old daughter out wearing a corset or lace gloves, but then I was never into that when Madonna was wearing it either.

Apparently Madonna wishes her daughter would dress more conservatively....hmmmm, the words pot, kettle and black spring to mind here, but she did have this to say about their new clothing range...

"I think this line is absolutely an extension of her taste. We like to combine a plaid or a flannel with a lace, or leather with lace or rhinestones. So we mix and match textures and fabrics and elements that are both masculine and feminine."

Nice...I still wouldn't buy it, even if I didn't have to fly over to Macy's for the privilege!

Jackson Jollies

Maybe it's just me but...WHEN did Michael Jackson's kids grow up??!!

It's a year since Michael Jackson died and if ever there was an ultimate Celebaby family then the Jacksons would be it surely.

I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like to be the child of someone SO famous, notorious and have courted such controversy.

The enduring images I have are the infamous 'baby dangling over the balcony' one and the kids with their faces covered by scarves.

I'm more than happy to replace those mental pictures with these images of the Jackson children having a great time on a beach in Hawaii - this is what childhoods are all about, playing and having fun!

Paris (12), Prince Michael (13) and Blanket (8) were taken out and allowed to run free by their grandmother Katherine, who has revealed that they have no friends and will be going to school for the first time in September having been previously educated at home.

You can't help but feel for these kids and hopefully they'll be allowed to develop with some sort of normality- well as much as they can ever have bearing in mind their heritage.
