At the start of this month, we learned that the late Michael Jackson was to be immortalized in cement in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood, CA to kick off the 3-week LA residency of Michael Jackson: The Immortal Tour by Cirque Du Soleil. The big hand/footprint ceremony took place yesterday and featured MJ‘s 3 children — Prince Michael Joseph, Paris Michael Katherine and Prince Michael Joseph Blanket Jackson — doing the honor of signing his name, imprinting his sequined glove and a pair of his dancing shoes in cement. Many members of the Jackson family (including his mother Katherine and his brothers Tito, Jackie, Marlon and Jermaine) were also on hand for the event yesterday, alongside luminaries like Quincy Jones, Smokey Robinson … and strangely, Justin Bieber. Click below to see some photos from yesterday’s event and watch video of MJ‘s children paying tribute to their late father.

Many people may assume that Michael Jackson‘s children will go into the music biz when they grow up but one of them may eventually grow up to be a professional sports athlete. Paris Michael Katherine is a member of her school’s flag football team and, as I understand it, she’s got mad skillz. Click below to see some photos of Paris in action on the football field of glory.

The late Michael Jackson was honored at a mostly official tribute concert called Michael Forever in Cardiff, Wales last night that was performed in front of an almost sold-out house. Performers like Alicia Keys, Jamie Fox and Christina Aguilera were among the performers who appeared live on stage while folks like Beyoncé provided pre-taped performances. Members of Jackson‘s family were in attendance as well … with the primary focus on the in-person appearances by MJ‘s children Prince, Paris and Blanket. Other members of the Jackson family were purposely NOT in attendance because they were not on board with a tribute concert to MJ happening at the same time that Dr. Conrad Murray‘s manslaughter trial for the death of Jackson is underway. Click below to see some photos, read some deets and watch some video from the Michael Forever concert performance last night.

Prince Michael Joseph Jackson, the first born child of the late Michael Jackson, made his first solo in-person appearance in Berlin, Germany today to represent his family at the Tribute to Bambi 2011 event. As you can see in the photo below, Prince was all decked out in a black and red outfit which looked exactly like one of his father’s famous outfits. Check him out below.

Prince Michael Joseph Jackson, the eldest child of the late Michael Jackson, was spotted tooling around town here in LA over the weekend rollin’ like a big dawg with his homies. As you can see, MJ‘s love of garish Ed Hardy clothing was passed down to the young Prince but I suppose we can forgive the lad for his questionable fashion tastes … for now.

Prince Michael Joseph Jackson, the eldest son of the late Michael Jackson, was spotted courtside at the Staples Center in downtown LA last night with his uncle Jackie Jackson. Before the game got underway, Prince was greeted with a handshake by Lakers star Ron Artest.

Michael Jackson‘s children Prince Michael Joseph, Paris Michael Katherine and Prince Michael Joseph, II aka Blanket appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show in their first interview ever yesterday and revealed to the Big O that they hope to one day enter showbiz. Prince revealed that he wants to produce and direct films while Paris revealed that she would like to act. Blanket was a bit too shy to say much of anything but he’s still young so, I’m sure he’ll figure out what he wants to do with the rest of his life in no time. While yesterday’s episode of Oprah was airing yesterday, Jackson‘s children went out to the movies with their uncle Jermaine Jackson and their cousins Jaafar and Jermajesty here in SoCal:

Michael Jackson tried desperately to keep them out of the spotlight, but now his eldest children have revealed they want to follow his famous footsteps. In their first interview since the King of Pop’s death, Paris, 12, and Prince Michael, 13, both told Oprah Winfrey they want to eventually join the movie business. ‘I’d like to be an actress when I’m older,’ said Paris. ‘I sometimes do improvs. I used to do them with my dad. And Prince Michael said he wanted to ‘produce movies and direct.’ At the family’s home in Encino, California, Oprah also asked the Jackson children about the masks their father used to make them wear in public. Paris explained they were told to wear them so people would not recognise them when they weren’t out with their father. Asked whether she appreciated the sentiment, she said: ‘I appreciated it. It wasn’t always comfortable, but yes.’ She added: ‘He tried to raise us without [us] knowing who he was, but that didn’t go so well.’ And Paris and Prince Michael showed just how much they’ve grown up as they headed to the cinema with their uncle Jermaine yesterday. Paris looked every bit the young woman in her faded denim jeans, blue T-shirt and cropped jeans jacket, as she and Prince Michael accompanied their cousins, Jermajesty and Jaafar on the trip. They stopped by the cinema in Calabasas, California to catch a screening of the R-rated movie, Due Date, starring Robert Downey Jr and Zach Galifianakis. It was a film-packed weekend for Michael’s two eldest children as they went to the movie theatre on Saturday as well to see their aunt Janet’s new movie, For Colored Girls.

I have to say, I was very impressed with the Oprah interview yesterday. The children seem remarkably well-adjusted and it was a big relief to discover that they are so well-spoken. It’s kinda insane to think how wealthy the children will grow up to be but in all honesty, they seem down to Earth and just … normal kids. I really found Oprah‘s interview with Katherine to be enlightening and heartbreaking. You could obviously tell that she is still in much pain over the loss of her son. I was actually very surprised to hear Katherine talk about MJ‘s drug abuse and plastic surgery … these are things she never would’ve spoken about if he were still alive. I was also very happy to watch Katherine FORCE her husband Joseph Jackson to admit that he beat his children. I suspect Katherine put up with a lot of Joe‘s controlling bullshizz in her life and it’s nice to see that he is no longer in control. It’s unclear if we’ll be getting any other interviews from the Jackson children any time soon … and that is prolly for the best. As they grow older, I’m certain they will determine when the time is right for them to step into the spotlight for themselves.

Did any of y’all watch the interview yesterday? What did you think?

Last month we got our very first look at Oprah Winfrey‘s visit to the home of Michael Jackson‘s mother Katherine where she conducted an exclusive interview for The Oprah Winfrey Show. Earlier this week we got our first look at a promo image of Oprah with MJ‘s children Prince Michael Joseph, Paris Michael Katherine and Prince Michael Joseph, II aka Blanket from that ep of The Oprah Winfrey Show. Today we get to check out the first video footage released from the ep which will air here in the US on Monday November 8:

Their lives were shrouded in secrecy for most of their childhood, their identities a fiercely guarded secret behind masks enforced by their paranoid father. But since his death, Michael Jackson’s children have come out into the open, appearing at his televised funeral and enrolling in a normal school where they mix with other children. Now, Prince, 13, Paris, 12, and Blanket, eight, have now taken the next step and are going public with an exclusive interview with Oprah Winfrey to be shown this Monday. It’s part of an ‘extensive’ chat the chat show queen has landed with the pop star’s mother Katherine. The children look remarkably happy, healthy and well-adjusted as they chat to Oprah just over a year since the death of their father stunned the world. In the sit-down, which was filmed at the Jackson home in Encino, California … Mrs Jackson will open up about the day the music icon died in June last year. The 80-year-old matriarch is also expected to reflect on Michael’s life as a child star. Her husband Joe appears along with their three grandchildren in a ‘backyard’ visit by Winfrey … There are online rumours that Harpo Productions are also trying to secure a taping with Debbie Rowe, the reclusive mother of Prince and Paris. Harpo has not commented on these claims. The highly anticipated interview is one of a string of sought-after exclusives produced by Harpo for Oprah’s final season.

Naturally, Oprah is NOT releasing too much footage from Monday’s episode just yet … but this quick tease is deffo worth seeing. Check it out, after the jump …

Last month we got our first look at Oprah Winfrey with the Jackson family in their Encino, CA home as she interviewed them for an upcoming episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show. A few days later, it was reported that Oprah would also be interviewing Michael Jackson‘s children — Prince Michael Joseph, Paris Michael Katherine and Prince Michael Joseph, II aka Blanket — for her show. Today we get our first look a promo photo of Oprah with MJ‘s children as she interviewed them for next Monday November 8′s episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show:

Relaxed, smiling and playful – that’s the image of Michael Jackson’s three children captured in a candid photo taken during Oprah Winfrey’s visit to the Jacksons’ Encino, Calif., home last month. Prince, 13, and Paris, 12, are seen smiling as Paris reaches out to Blanket, 8, who is curled up in a lawn chair in the backyard of the home, while Winfrey and the children’s grandparents, Katherine and Joe Jackson, are seated across the table. The talk-show host was there to interview Katherine about Michael’s childhood, his career, his children and his legacy a year and a half after the pop legend’s untimely death at age 50.

While there are many people (me included) who are horribly curious to see the Jackson children interviewed, at least one person is NOT pleased that Oprah sat down to interview the kids in the first place. Randy Jackson has spoken out publicly to voice his displeasure with the interview, stating that MJ would NEVER have allowed his children to be interviewed on TV … not even by Oprah. While that claim is debatable, it is very true that MJ fiercely guarded his children’s privacy and it is unlikely that he would be totally cool with putting his kids on TV like this. Still, the interview has been filmed and is scheduled to air next Monday. Will you be tuning in?

While countless Michael Jackson fans will be marking the anniversary of his death in a variety of ways today (many of them centered squarely here in Los Angeles, where MJ is laid to rest), his 3 children — Prince Michael Joesph, Paris Michael Katherine and Prince Michael Joesph II aka Blanket — have made their way to Hawaii this week to escape the melee here in SoCal to rest, relax and reflect in their own way:

As the world around them honors Friday’s first anniversary of their father’s sudden death, Michael’s Jackson’s three grieving children escaped to the islands of Hawaii, where they were treated to a day of fun in the sun by their grandmother, Katherine. The kids – Prince, 13; Paris, 12; and Blanket, 8 – were spotted this week on their quick family getaway in Maui with Katherine, a security team and friends. Paris, who has had the most trouble privately coping with the loss of their famous father, was photographed swimming at the hotel pool with a solemn expression on her face. Says a source close to the Jackson family: “Early on, Paris didn’t think she could live without her father … she just didn’t know how she was going to function. But [Katherine] has been so supportive of her that Paris is much better. Her brothers, meanwhile, appeared more carefree on the trip, often smiling and playing in the waves with other children on the beach. “You have to remember that everybody in that family was suffering from grief, so Michael’s kids never felt alone in it,” the source continues. “That helped them to become stronger.” Clearly, the children have come a long way in the past year. Says the source, “They are much more open, and playful. They have matured.” On Friday’s actual anniversary of Jackson’s death, the family is scheduled to head to their late father’s hometown in Gary, Indiana, where Katherine is expected to reveal a large monument of the pop icon outside of the home where the Jacksons grew up nearly 50 years ago. A memorial and candlelight vigil is due to follow, concluding with Jackson’s hit “We Are The World.”

It’s so nice to see MJ‘s kids enjoying life like normal kids … unmasked and unabashedly basking in the sun and surf on holiday. It really does sound like they have adjusted well to the loss of their father and are doing well. If these reports of a trip to Gary, IN are true then Katherine and the kids should be winging their way to the Midwest right about now in order to make it in time for the anniversary celebration that will take place there later today. To be honest, I think it would’ve been much more appropriate for the kids to just be left alone in Hawaii to play as they will. But, apparently, Katherine wants them to bear witness to at least one special remembrance ceremony for their late father. My thoughts are with the kids today … while the world is still dealing with the loss of the King of Pop, we have to remember that these kids are still dealing with the loss of their beloved daddy.
