Paris Jackson On Wearing A Mask As A Child
Because Lindsay Lohan is allergic to being somewhat fucking responsible, she missed her flight to L.A. and had to skip her appearance on Ellen yesterday. So Ellen needed someone to fill in for that freckled tornado of dumb and they asked Paris Jackson of all people. Paris Jackson was on there to promote being Paris Jackson, I guess, because she mostly just talked about her father, her life with her father and her life now. I think I've said this before, but Paris Jackson seems very normal and well-adjusted, which is surprising since she comes from one of America's first families of crazy. Maybe Auntie La Toya gave her some priceless advice by telling her to let the crazy simmer for a while and then let it explode when she turns 17.
Here's what Paris had to say about feeling stupid while wearing those disguises and other things:
On those masks: "Yeah, I'm like, 'This is stupid; why am I wearing a mask?' But I kind of realized the older I got, like, he only tried to protect us and he'd explain that to us, too."On leaving homeschool for a regular school: "I love it. It's definitely a different experience. ... I do have like a regular childhood. I mean, I'm treated the same. When I came to Buckley (her school) they didn't know who I was. I was like, 'Yes, I have a chance to be normal.' "
On how Michael Jackson talk her how to act: "We would do improv together. He would give us little scenarios. He would (say), 'OK, in this scene you're going to cry' and I'd cry on the spot."
On the most memorable thing he ever said to her: "He said, 'If I die tomorrow always remember what I told you.' I took his advice and I remembered everything he told me."
See. Kind of normal. Not once did she talk about how Auntie La Toya drags her to Bubbles' sanctuary and makes her act out scenes from the "Leave Me Alone" video to relive the glory of the old days. Maybe Paris is saving that for the tell-all. Speaking of, it sort of pisses me off when children of celebrities go on talk shows to talk about their lives as celebrity children. Save those stories for the tell-all! You're not supposed to give everything away for free. Haven't we learned anything from Christina Crawford? Put it all in a tell-all and then maybe Faye Dunaway will play your parent in the movie. If Suri starts giving interviews to Diane Sawyer before her tell-all comes out, I'll never forgive her.

For the record:
1. Debbie Rowe IS this girl's bio mother.
2. Paris Jackson wears blue contacts.
Ever since I saw her at Michael's funeral I have wanted to protect Paris. I also had the feeling she would want to work in the biz one day and I also feel she and her brothers will be thriving philanthropists and do everything Michael ever wanted to do to help the world. God surrounds them and I wish them all the best.

Interesting comments on this thread...Paris is very pretty & hopefully she matures into a beautiful, well-grounded woman. Of course, being surrounded by the Wacko-Jacko clan might take some clever manuevering on her part. Let's hope for the best with this young lady. That is all.

She is so beautiful.
Who cares who her bio dad is? MJ was obviously 20 kinds of crazy, but I think his kids were probably the only thing he cared about. My mother is batshit crazy, but the only thing I've ever known for sure is that she loves her kids. Michael was nuts because he didn't have any other option. He was used by his dad and the industry from childhood. Just look at Britney, Christina and the rest of them. It should be against the law to do that to children. Hell, in most states kids can't even work past 9pm. I can't even imagine being 15 and forced to perform every night in front of thousands of people. When you're that age, a household name, and have more money than the president, where do you go from there? One way ticket to crazyville by 25. I could see why MJ would be a good father. It's probably all he had left.

So although Americans are still rather ignorant when it comes to race matters even living in a true melting pot, the rest of the world is far worse, I believe.

That's exactly right.
It doesn't matter whose bio kids they are, they were MJ's kids.
I think many things about him and his weird fascination with kids, but I also think he loved his kids and was a decent father. He made some mistakes (dangling Blanket off that balcony?) but I don't know. I can't hate on him as a father. Sometimes people can be shitheads in one part of their life and be really good in another.
What really matters if they felt loved and had a good strong attachment to MJ. I think they did. I just hope they have a loyal advocate now.
Shes sooo pretty!

She's very pretty...beautiful eyes. I hope she and her sibs are making out okay.
One of the most interesting mixed races is the Hazara of Afghanistan. There's such a melting pot of races and features involved. Afghan people in general have the most stunning and piercing eyes, like that famous girl on the cover of National Geographic for example:

I like her, and I also admire that she plays on the boys football team. I would rather listen to her than Hohan's Playboy crap any day...she seems grounded and whatever you say about MJ I know he adored his kids...some kids are never adored...so they were lucky....
Normal? No Paris, please do not ever become normal, ever. Whatever neat little trick up your sleeve you have pull it out now. A horse sack over your head, sure I can go with that. Missing gloves with an extra finger sprinkled with fake diamond tinsel? Yes I could believe that too? A rope attached to an umbrella that would let you fly away on a blustery day, yes yes Paris I could desperately go for that. What’s the reward in being normal? I’d rather have you fantastical. Any stunt, nose job, hysterical fit, self induced addiction I could go for that, anything Paris to keep me locked away in permanent self disbelief in front of my chair would suit me just fine.

Debbie Rowe already said the first two kids are not Michael's biological kids. She was artificially inseminated by an anonymous donor, jeez.
...My darling can't you see
My heart sounds just for you my dear...
HOW, how, how, did Paris and her siblings turn out so well? It amazes me that their dad's craziness didn't rub off on them BIG TIME. They really do seem like nice, humble, polite kids. MJ may have been nuttier than a snickers bar but he obviously did something right in the way he raised his kids.
Oh, and Paris is gorgeous! I love her hair. I'm too old now to have long hair...damn it.
Paris: I'm not Black I'm not White... I'm rich, bitch!!
And you guys really give too much though in where somebody is from.
I'm german, but let me tell you how the people of my family look like. As far as we know we're all germans no mix.
Here we go: The family of my mother: My granddad had blonde hair, was pale, eyecolour unknown as he died before I met him, he was rather tall. My grandmother had dark blonde hair and pale blue eyes, she was also rather tall for that time. My mother has brown hair and brown eyes and she's pretty small. Her one brother has dark blonde hair and blue eyes and is even for this time really tall, the other brown hair and some eyes (haven't seen him for 20 years) has an average height, my aunt has brown hair and blue eyes and is as tall as my grandmother was.
The family of my father: My gradfather had dark blonde hair and blue eyes and was rather tall, my grandmother has black hair and blue eyes and is rather small, my father has green eyes and black hair is as tall as his father, my uncle has dark blonde hair and blue eyes, is also as tall as his father.
My brother has dark brown hair and brown eyes is also as tall as my father, his exgirlfriend has dark blonde hair and blue eyes, their kids have brown hair and brown eyes and blonde hair and blue eyes. I have dark blonde hair and green eyes and am a lot taller than my mother.
The look of all of us: My mother looks quite like her father, my father looks like his father, I look like my father. My brother looks more like my mother, his daughter looks like him, while his son looks like his mother. My cousin (father's side) doesn't look like any of her parents at all, she looks quite like the mother of her mother.
You see; we all look pretty much not alike, you may say that my grandmother and father look rather italian, while I may look german, though really I got the most of my genes from them both, exept the haircolour. So please don't suggest that a "mix" between italian and german would look good - there is no such thing as "german" we come in all shapes and sizes, with all haircolours and eyecolours.
But I do doubt that none of MJ's skingenes would have shown in any of his kids if they were his own flesh and blood. I don't care about them, but I don't like the obsession of putting people into "races" and I don't like ignorance when it comes to science. And the fun thing is that everybody hated MJ the last maybe 15 years he was alive and now he's nearly bigger than god. If someone would ask what the best thing he did was, it would be his death, and that's kind of sick, really. That's why I try to ignore anything relating to him.
ps - the race convos are moot...he's likely not their dad because he hated himself, ooooold news...this country was founded by insecure, little dick psychos that were deathly afraid and intimidated by EVERYTHING...certain people will always be scared of the black man's dick size ( yep, I believe that ) and whatever else...this country is obsessed with artificial shit to compensate lack of intelligence and morals..we're all mixed, fucking deal and move on...I'm black but my great grandma was Italian and she married a Cuban...my man is half Asian and Italian and holy shit we're gonna make some gorgeous babies one day
No way is that Michael Jacksons kid
Beautiful kid
Reading this thread illustrates how ignorant people are when it comes to genetics/lineage/world history.
Did some of you bitches have the flu the weeks these subjects were taught?!
Unless we are expressly told by the Jacksons themselves, we will never know if Michael Jackson is the blood father of these kids. Quite frankly, they could be, could be not. But it is obvious that he raised them well. They seem well-adjusted.
I also think that alot of black Americans like to herald the other ethnicities flowing through them because for too long they were simply called African (or worse) because they were not allowed to claim anything else. The majority of Americans, black OR white or brown or yellow) are mixed to some degree...some more than others.
As for my own family, we are the United Colors of Benetton, so I know very well how it is conceivable that those kids are his naturally. MJ's father does have green eyes and Michael Jackson was not that dark to begin with, even when he WAS actually black. My own uncle is pitch black, but is married to an Irish woman. Their children are as white as you can possibly imagine with dirty blonde hair and green eyes, so it IS possible.
As for myself, I am black and Indian and European, but in Europe, if you are black or look black, they are NOT trying to hear about any other lineage running through your veins. So although Americans are still rather ignorant when it comes to race matters even living in a true melting pot, the rest of the world is far worse, I believe.

I have my doubts about all three of them being biologically his kids. AFAIK he wasn't mixed race, he was "fully" black, yet out of three kids none of them have any typical "black" features what so ever. They have olive skin but look more Latin American than black/white mixed.
Around 2006, one of my former bosses dated a hot shot real estate lawyer who was one day summoned by an anonymous client to take care of some real estate transaction. It was a lot of hoop-de-rah getting to the client's location--the guy thought it was someone in the mob. Turns out it was MJ.
He said all of the kids were there, and they were extremely well behaved. No masks or anything. He said the kids were normal and Michael was very normal, too.
They actually seem like pretty decent kids. It's too bad they were unfortunate to be in that family, but maybe there's hope for them. I don't know who will care for them once Katherine is gone. She is in her 80s, or close to it.
She's a prettier version of Disney kid/hip hop dancer on Missy Elliots' videos, named Alyson Stoner.
Lindsay Lohan fucked up again. Instead of seeing her try to participate in a grown up interview w/Ellen, she has chosen to spread it for Playboy. Goodbye Lohan. Meanwhile a fresh flower, who looks better than all the fug lohans put together is appearing on the scene and making her talk show debut on Ellen's show.
I was gonna say she and that Rachel Crow kid should have their own Disney shows, making them a little more hip, but then I though , hell no, they are better than that.
This kid is related to Michael Jackson like a tadpole is related to a goat. Why she and Blanket, Prince, Bingo, Meatball and whatever other children are called "Michael Jackson's children," I do not know. There is no biological link (MJ's dermatologist is likely the sperm donor) and no legal adoption. Let's face it, this scam, along with all his tubes of bleach, was MJ's way of telling the world he wasn't really black. That's not to say he wasn't a great talent... he was. But mentally, truly messed up.
The hat is a very bad sign.
She's a very pretty girl and her eyes are beautiful! Hopefully, she grows up not to be messed-up.

I was referring to how it is used here. Why don't you ask anyone who teaches a diversity class about who likes or doesn't like it? Just because someone doesn't beat the shit out of you for using that term doesn't mean they don't like it. You say "And most people from the Caribbean know that they aren't African American". No shit. It's AMERICANS - WHITE AMERICANS - who use that term.

Sorry Dog, you are only half right.
Yes, Arabic is a language. But Arabs are an ethnic group as well. Saudis, Iraqis, Kuwaitis - most of these people are Arabs. Most Iranians (Persians) and Afghans (largely Pashtun) are not.
^^^^^^^^^^
Ba-Buttons, I am very well versed in the history of Saudi as well as the entire middle east. I was speaking in generalities because most Americans assume if someone lives there they are "Arabic". Most people have no idea that, as you say, Iran is also called Persia and that they speak Farsi, not "Iraqi". It's like they don't speak "Israeli" in Israel.

Joe Jackson does not have blue eyes. Jesus..
Very pretty child.
I still question if she's really Michael's biological child. Sadly, I know many black folks who pick white, light skinned hispanics or blacks to have light skinned children (yeah, things are still stupid fucked up out there), but I just don't "see" Michael in her face. I do see Debbie Rowe, especially in the eyes.
Regardless, Paris is a better guest than LohanHo and I hope she does get to grow up with a sense of what is right and wrong in the world.
Wish her and her brothers the best.

The term "African American" was dreamed up by some Whitey who was trying to be politically correct. Try calling someone from Jamaica or Dominica or any of the many nations whose people are dark-skinned "African America" and see how fast they let you know just how wrong you are.
=======
Actually, that's not the origin of the term. And just like how language changes, so will adjectives used to describe and categorize ethnicities, cultures, etc. And most people from the Caribbean know that they aren't African American, unless they choose that identity or are that because they are 1st generation. The identity tends to be (insert country's name)-American, e.g., Jamaican or Jamaican-born (I bahn here!) or black. I haven't had the encounters that you speak about; it's usually just a nice correction, like, no I'm not from Trinidad, I'm from Barbados. Whatever the various changes, it's up to the people being named to name themselves.

IF, it just makes no sense to me anymore. I mean, in this country, do you know how many people are actually 100% pure ANYTHING? Full-blooded on both sides of the family? It just doesn't happen anymore, at least not here. And I'm not even just talking race! Show me one person whose heritage is the same on both sides going back for generations. And all of the pejoratives for black people (colored, Afro-American, African-American, etc) were ALL created by white people. That's like calling someone "Spanish" just because they speak it. Spanish means they're from Spain, not Puerto Rico or Mexico or Guatemala, etc. Or saying someone from Saudi Arabia is Arabic. Um no, Arabic is a language, stupids. The level of ignorance is astounding.

It took me a minute to realize that you didn't mean that dlisters could be MJ's kids. I was thinking "who thinks they are MJ's kids? Whamo? Dog? Provolone? . . . are they being serious? Having said that . . . I have a confession . . . I am one of MJ's kids, people refer to me as Blanket Sr all the time.
Dog,
Some foolio on MTV back in the day (I think it was that racist bitch Ananda Lewis) asked Naomi Campbell what it felt to be an African-American "Supermodel" and NC looked at her and said "what are you talking about! I'm British!"
It seems that white people in America seem obsessed with the African American thing (a term I don't use either) as if blacks are any closer to their roots in Africa than whites are to their "home countries" of 200-300 years ago.
