The Jackson family saga is growing more sad, disturbing and confounding by the day. Here’s the latest:

In the wake of Katherine Jackson losing contact with her grandkids – Paris, Prince and Blanket – TJ Jackson, the son of Michael’s brother Tito, is pushing to become the children’s temporary legal guardian. TMZ reports his attorney is actively drawing up the paperwork now.

Katherine has been serving as the trio’s guardian since Michael Jackson passed away, but sources close to the family believe she’s being held against her will by MJ’s siblings in Arizona. She has not seen her grandchildren in nine days.

Insiders tell TMZ that all three children are in favor of TJ taking over guardian duties. He’s reportedly very close to his niece and nephews.

“I know it’s completely unfair for them to do this to you and your brothers. We will keep trying. I love you,” TJ Tweeted to Paris last night.

Tension continues to rise within the Jackson clan because Michael only left money to his foundation and his children in his will. Moreover, there have been accusations that Katherine is being treated unfairly by the will’s executors.

Police were called to the family home in California yesterday over some kind of domestic dispute. No arrests were made, but photos later surfaced of Janet and Jermaine Jackson in a heated discussion.

Finally, in case this wasn’t all strange enough, there’s this: TJ Jackson went to the prom with Kim Kardashian.
