A thought from the Crabster: You can say anything you want about Michael Jackson, but one thing he never did was exploit his kids for publicity. You saw pictures of them out and about of course, but never in that creepy way that you see, for instance, Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise. It might've been in Jackson's mind, at one point, that he could help his image - quell those homosexual rumors, for example - by having a brood; never mind that they weren't really his kids - that was something he never intended us to know (hence the pay-offs to people like Debbie Rowe). But clearly, at some point, Jackson's own experiences with childhood stardom must've inspired him to change his mind, and shelter the kids as much as possible from the cold, glaring eye of the media.
That being the case...I wonder what Michael would think of what happened today at Staples Center. His daughter Paris, whose privacy he sought to guard as well as he could, being shoved in front of millions of people, exposed to that horrible scrutiny he knew so well. I'm guessing he wouldn't have been happy. Even though the phony little drama was obviously performed on behalf of him and his tainted image. Seems to me that, even in death, he keeps getting fucked over by his own family. I'm not sure those kids are any better off now than they would've been with him.
On Paris Jackson...

I could not agree more. And I shiver for them at the thought of what is yet to come. No doubt, they will be used. I am truly hoping that they are not. Time will tell.
Well, I agree with you on one thing. Michael never let his kids faces be seen in public, and while I questioned the use of masks and veils, I do believe he was doing all he could to protect them and truly had their best interests in mind when he did so. I can't help but think he'd be mortified and angry that they were up on stage tonight for all the world to see. His family should have known better.
Agreed.
You make a really good point. I hope MJ's kids aren't thrown into a public custody battle...They have been traumatized enough.
Yeah... and grim-faced grieving widow Janet's performance made me want to pummel her. Hard.
"Speak up honey" yer fat ass.
Crabbie - word.
Good looking kids, but ultimately worthless. White people can't dance.
White people invented dancing. And the hydrogen bomb bitch. Suck it.
Keep hip-hop.
I wondered if MJ's kids wore veils so people couldn't see they were white and therefore not his kids. Maybe I'm just anti Jackson, so on this day I will give him the benefit of the doubt. I haven't seen any tv today but I'm sure there will be extended coverage on tonight. I did hear the Paris soundbite on the radio and found it quite moving. The kids obviously really loved their father. I agree with you all that they will be manipulated by the 'loving, grieving' family for their own needs. Poor kids.
You people have A LOT of nerve to say his family isn't really upset about his death. Maybe Joe Jackson isn't because he's a total dick, but those were his siblings and his mother. I'm sure they loved him very much. So seriously, stop being such disrespectful twats.
Hopefully, this freak show is over. All of this for a man who sang and danced for a living. We're doomed.

Uh-huh. That's why the first thing they did after they left the hospital was get a moving van and strip his mansion.
Feel the love.
I still don't think the girl was being pushed. I have plenty of animosity toward that family for the way they sponged off Micheal but in this case I honestly don't think Paris would have spoken had she not wanted to. Her brother is older...why didn't they push him up to the mic?
Can we move on now, please?
It was sick to see, whether she wanted to or not, why did it matter that the mike was in her face or not, if it was a personal tribute from her.?
Oh & crabbie the live feed rocked, I've not had that much fun clothed in a long while (well I was partially clothed anyway!)
Don't cry Kate. haha lol
I completely agree, Crabbie.
Oh great, bubble. You just made me cry again. GREAT.
i sold everything i got to get to that funeral and the fuckin car we was in broked down. fuck. now michael will never knowed how much he meant to me. he taught me everything i needed to know about molestation of a small child.
Paris is 11 and seems to be quite spunky. Obviously she had asked to say something or was perhaps asked if she would like to. Thats old enough to have an opinion w/o it being forced upon you. Her grief is real and her words were hers. She wasn't scared either. I dont think they were exploited at all. They just will be allowed to go about w/o covering their faces now. He had gorgeous children, and they were his. He was her "daddy" didnt you hear that? Thats real. Not from his body, maybe, but they belonged to his heart.
edward...now you can go die. You have nothing to live for, so do it already. And thank you.
