Blanket Jackson no longer exists! Michael Jackson’s youngest child has given himself a new name – he’s called Bigi Jackson at school now. Blanket was only a childhood nickname and the poor kid was born with the embarrassing moniker “Prince Michael Jackson II.” Now Bigi is 14 and he’s going to the Buckley School and starting to get around. Marlon Wayans took his kids and Bigi to Catch in Hollywood for dinner.

We’re flabbergasted! NOW we know why Paris Jackson’s boyfriend thinks he’s DATING A BLACK GIRL! It’s because Paris TOLD him she’s black! (Lack of education is even more of an issue with the Jacksons than we realized.) Paris, 18, told Rolling Stone that she considers herself black – because her father Michael Jackson TOLD HER she is! Michael encouraged her to be proud of her roots! Paris reasons “Why would my father lie to me? To my knowledge he never lied to me before!” She honestly believes that Michael is her biological father – not Dr Arnold Klein. Now we’re DYING to know what her older brother Prince Jackson, who is currently in college, has to say about this.

It had to happen eventually. Michael Jackson’s life was a windfall of fascinating stories and one of them was the legendary rumor that Michael, Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando drove cross country together after 9/11. How delicious is THAT fantasy? A British TV comedy show appropriately called Urban Myths is reenacting their version of that event and Joseph Fiennes (who once played Shakespeare) is playing Michael Jackson. (Stockard Channing plays Elizabeth Taylor and Brian Cox is Marlon Brando.) We’re laughing already! Michael’s fans and relatives think it’s insulting to cast a white man as Michael, but a black actor would have to appear in white face, anyway! And this IS comedy, after all! We suggest the Jacksons withhold their outrage until they see the show.

Jermaine Jackson, 62, (or is it “Jacksun?”) was apparently overcome with affection when he was confronted with his brother Michael Jackson’s wax figure at Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in Berlin. In real life they weren’t that close – Michael left Jermaine and his other brothers OUT of his will. Faced with financial problems, Jermaine finagled unsuccessfully to get the will changed. His wife Halima Rashid filed for divorce last summer, requesting spousal support. Jermaine appeared in an ‘80s inspired ZDF televised “street party” on New Year’s Eve in Berlin.
Tommy Hilfiger tells a story in his new book “American Dreamer,” that makes us think Michael Jackson’s kids are better off growing up WITHOUT their father. Tommy says that back in the 90’s, Michael wanted to do a clothing line and summoned him to Neverland for a meeting. When Tommy arrived, the butler led him to Michael, who was wearing sunglasses, heavily made up, and sitting on an enormous gold and burgundy throne. Michael said his millions of fans were waiting for a Michael Jackson clothing line and he wanted to partner with Hilfiger. Meanwhile Michael’s two young kids Prince and Paris appeared dressed “like Von Trapp children from The Sound of Music.” Tommy says they wore velvet knickers, patent leather shoes, dirndl jumper, and they both had bleached blonde hair with dark roots and full make-up! (Blanket was still a baby in the nanny’s arms.) Tommy passed on the deal…

The death of Michael Jackson’s dermatologist Dr Arnie Klein may open a HUGE can of worms and shed light on who Paris and Prince’s biological father was. It is believed that Dr Klein was the sperm donor for nurse Debbie Rowe, who gave birth to Michael’s two kids. Arnie was sworn to secrecy but even HE noted the resemblance between Prince and himself. And significantly, Prince is a straight A student like Dr Klein. FINALLY, Dr Klein’s will might reveal all! Will his biological children be mentioned? On a sadder note, despite Klein’s misadventures with Jackson, he WAS a kind and very entertaining and likeable doctor. (We frequented his office for gossip!) He died suddenly at the age of 70 in Palm Springs where he retired. (Above Arnie Klein spent Michael’s last Christmas in 2008 with the family)
Here’s somebody we don’t see around very often: it’s Prince Michael “Blanket” Jackson, who is now 13. We wonder which name he chooses to use around his friends. Michael II was photographed leaving a karate class in Calabasas and he still has the habit of not smiling in public. Last we heard he was still being home-schooled but at least he takes classes so he can make some friends. He’s the only one of Michael’s children who probably has no clue who his biological parents are, but his beautiful dark hair indicates some Hispanic blood.

Good news. Michael Jackson’s unfortunately named son Prince has decided to go to college. He graduates from high school next spring, and instead of becoming a full-time playboy and dilettante thanks to the fortune his father left him, he intends to get an education! Prince is an excellent student at Buckley School – he’s a member of the National Honors Society. He’s not talking about WHERE he plans to go to college but according to RadarOnline, in the past he’s expressed an interest in USC. The fact that Prince is smart should come as no surprise – after all, his biological father is Arnold Klein, who happens to be a doctor. (Above, Prince in 2013)

Corey Feldman is 43 and has been divorced twice, and he’s still struggling to get his acting career back on track. It’s strange, but he doesn’t seem able to make up his mind about his one-time buddy Michael Jackson. He was very upset when Michael died but also had doubts about Michael’s innocence when it came to his behavior with little boys. One minute Corey accuses Michael of improprieties, the next he defends his former friend. Above, he’s arriving at a Hollywood club with two young girls and a Charlie Sheen smirk on his face.

Michael Jackson’s exwife (and the mother of two of his children) Debbie Rowe is in Brazil with Michael’s former “videographer,” Marc Shaffel, who now happens to be her fiancée. Marc was previously in the adult film business. Marc and Debbie are co-managing an up and coming young singer they discovered from Belgium, Ian Thomas, 17. They’re hoping Ian will turn out to be another Justin Bieber. It IS odd that Debbie is now in the management business…
