What will happen to Michael Jackson's children?

Picture source : People.com

Sigh.... Michael is gone. His kids are left in a world of unknown now. What will happen to their fate?

Michael Jackson's children, Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11, and "Blanket," 7, wow! They have grown up huh. Remember when their faces were always covered in a veil when they were babies. Pitiful.

Paris and Prince Michael were born through artificial insemination when Michael Jackson was briefly wed to Debbie Rowe. Prince Michael Jackson II's (aka Blanket) mother's identity was never released.

So now, that Michael has passed on, what will happen to them? 3 possible options :-

1. Right now they are with their grandparents, Joe and Katherine Jackson.

2. There were reports that Michael has told Janet Jackson to take care if his children if anything happens to him.

3. Debbie Rowe (Paris and Prince Michael's mom) is still the legal parent and could have custody. However reports indicates that she is unsure whether she want custody or not.

What do you think it the best option for them?

Michael Jackson DIES (updated)

Just saw the news and could not believe this. Apparently the King of Pop was rushed to the hospital today for an emergency. He was in the coma or was not conscious. He was not breathing and does not have any pulses on when he was in the ambulance heading to the hospital. He was pronounced dead on 5:26 pm today in LA. News reported that he had a cardiac arrest. He was only 50 years old. I just want to remember him as the King of Pop that gave us so so much great music.

This is really a sad sad day losing two big stars. I felt really sad when Farrah Fawcett passed away this morning but with Jackson also died, this is a double whammy. We will never forget this day. Pass on Farrah and Michael. Rest in Peace....

Michael Jackson : 50 concerts sold within 5 hours!

Seriously, he may not be my favourite singer but he is undeniably the King of Pop! And for that, I would loveeeeee the opportunity to see him in concert!

He recently announced his comeback by staging 10 performance in London this summer.

"I will be performing the songs my fans want to hear, This is it. This is really it. This is the final curtain. I will see you in July." he said during the press conference.

When the tickets opened up for sale last week, the respond was overwhelming. From 10 concerts, the organizer extended to 50 concerts and all ticket were sold within 5 hours!

The unprecedented sales come despite the fact Jackson hasn't recorded an album since 2001's Invincible and has gotten more attention in recent years for his bizarre behavior and, in 2005, his acquittal on child abuse charges.

The "King of Pop" has sold around 750 million records and won 13 Grammys.

Michael Jackson converts to Islam - The full story

OMG OMG!!!

Jacko Wacko is at it again!!!

Michael Jackson has reportedly converted to Islam. Please call him 'Mikaeel', apparently after the name of one of the angels of Allah.

The 50-year old legend wore the traditional Islamic attire as he pledged his allegiance to the Koran at a friend's home in Los Angeles. He rejected the name 'Mustafa', which means "the chosen one," the source added.

The King of Pop, who was raised a Jehovah's Witness, showed interest in Islam after discussing the religion with a Canadian songwriter David Wharnsby and producer Phillilp Bubal, - both of whom were converts to Islam. "They began talking to him about their beliefs, and how they thought they had become better people after they converted. "

Michael soon began warming to the idea," a source said. "An Imam was summoned from the mosque and Michael went through the shahada, which is the Muslim declaration of belief.

However, Jacko is currently faced with charges against him by Sheikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa, second son of the King of Bahrain. Reportedly Sheikh Abdulla had lend 7 million dollars to the singer after he faced the child molestation trial. Wacko Jacko believed it was a 'gift' to him, while Abdullah claims Jackson had promised to return the money back.

Btw - His brother Jermaine Friday, who is Muslim, has also spoken out about Jackson’s interest in the religion.

I pity this fella. I really do. Wacko Jacko - You're the Man! No one can claim more wacko than you!
