Just when you think OK! Magazine cannot lower the celebrity gossip bar any further, then come out with a new cover that proves you wrong. Kudos, guys.
While Michael Jackson’s mom, Katherine Jackson, was named guardian of the three children of the late singer in his will, it’s Michael’s sister Janet Jackson who has emerged in the eyes of many as their favored caregiver.
“All three want Janet Jackson to read to them at night,” a Jackson family friend says. “They just melt into her arms when she walks into the house.”
So much so, the magazine reports, that adorable Prince and Paris Jackson, 12 and 11, plus little Blanket, 7, have reached out to Janet and said ...
“Janet has completely bonded with those children in the last two weeks,” the friend continues. “She has been the rock for [Paris, Prince and Blanket]."
"It’s clear to everyone that they are looking to her for comfort and guidance.”
It's clear to everyone? Really? No one's doubting Janet Jackson is probably an awesome aunt, but do the kids even know her? Do they love Katherine less?
We also enjoy the trumping up of Debbie Rowe and her role in all this, as if she is trying to break up the family. While that would be good drama, it's untrue.
One semi-legitimate point raised is that at 79, caring for three kids might be too much for Katherine Jackson, a problem eased by Janet Jackson’s presence.
“Janet is not only willing to raise those children, she is also the only relative of Michael's who really knows how to protect them,” an insider tells OK!.
“Janet knows the value of a private life and knows how to keep her personal life out of the news. She is determined to do that for Michael’s children. She says that he would want no less for them, pointing out how far he went to shelter them.”
It does sound nice. But just in case you forgot the publication that is reporting this, here's a look back at their previous two Michael Jackson covers ...

To whoever may be reading this, I have been trying to contact Paris Jackson by posting comments on lots of websites like this one. I don't think it's working. So, if you have any way to contact her, I would appreciate it if you would tell her to email me at chaplin791q@hotmail.com. If you do, you will surely be rewarded when I begin my filmmaking empire in about 12 years. In case you want to know, I am a 13 year old boy that cannot control his very strong feelings at the moment. I feel a desperate and necessary need to contact Paris. Thank you for considering my request.

Dude leave the kid alone shes going through so much and u want to bother her??? I dont think being in public would be great for her. If you were smart, you would leave ALL micheal's kids alone and find someone else to be in ur film or movie.
sincerely,
No One

Hey "Charlie." Why don't you leave the poor girl alone. She is the same age as me, I think I know what she going through. All she wants right now is to be left alone. Not stalked. leave her alone, okay. And the last thing I have to say is, Prince is hot.

Are you a stalker, Charlie. What do you mean by your " a 13 year old boy who can't control his very strong feelings at the moment. Leave Paris alone, dude. I doubt she wants to meet you. I don't, that's for sure. And I agree with you, 'none of your business', Prince is hot.
