Two Canceled Series Are Back From The Dead
'The Voice': Singing Michael Jackson Emotional For Judith…
Recently, Katherine Jackson, mother of the late iconic singer Michael Jackson, invited Oprah Winfrey to the 'Thriller' singer's Encino, Calif., home for a rare perspective on life since her son's death.
While lounging in the backyard with Katherine, Winfrey had an opportunity to visit with Michael's three children, Prince, 13, Paris, 12, and Blanket, 8.
According to People, the Emmy Award-winning talk show host will discuss Michael's childhood, his career, his children and his legacy with the Jackson matriarch.
Randy Jackson is one member of the family who is not happy about the upcoming show. As previously reported, he took to Twitter, writing, "I had no prior knowledge this was going to happen. It was deliberately kept from me because they knew I would have tried to stop it.
He added, "I know how Oprah feels about my brother and family. I also know that he would not have wanted this. ...In fact, she is the last person on earth he would want around his children."
This marks the second episode of 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' dedicated to Jackson.
Back in September of 2009, Winfrey remembered the late King of Pop. And in April, she had Janet Jackson on her show as a guest.
For the first time, the 'For Colored Girls' star opened up about the last time she saw her brother before he died a year and a half ago at age 50. The 'Control' singer also revealed that the family had tried interventions before to get her big brother off prescription medication to no avail. Janet said Michael was in denial about his problem.
The special episode of 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' featuring Katherine Jackson is set to air on Nov.8.

I wonder why in the article, Mr. Jackson wasn't mentioned? He was there at the interview wasn't he, the pic above speaks for itself? But I am glad that man didn't plug in about his New Record Label? Oh, lawd. Remember, right after Michael died, he was in the Media EVERYWHERE plugin his Record Label? I thought that was very inappropriate. I know Ms. Jackson was like to Joe before the interview, "Now Joe, don't be plugin in your mess, this isn't about you Joe, this is about the CHILDREN or you can leave MY HOUSE right now?
Getting back to the article, I didn't think it was wrong for Oprah to interview Michael's children? Long as it wasn't just about $$$$? I don't understand why is Randy TRIPPIN, just because he was told? How does he know, that Michael if living wouldn't want this?

Because he knows how Oprah portrayed his brother as a pedophile before he went to trial. After he died she showed the interview she had with him, just for ratings, but the damages were done. She convicted him before he had his day in court. That's why he was pissed and I dont blame him

Is it me or what? But those kids look a lot like MJ from afar. Some have said that he never actually fathered the kids, but looking at them in this picture tells me, he did.
And why is Joe-greedy-Jackson there? Didn't he leave the compound? Didn't he walk out on Katherine? I do not like that man. After MJ died he was all over the place promoting his new record label. His son just died for goodness sake!!!..... He made me sick!!!
But I have no problem with Oprah doing this interview. Sit down somewhere Randy!!!

@Gail,
I thought I was the only one that remembered that when poor Michael died about Joe Plugin his record label in the media? That was so DISRESPECTFUL! As far as Michael's kids lookin like him, I STRONGLY believe that, the two older siblings Prince & Paris's biological father is Michael's Dermatologist. If you would have seen baby pics of the brother and sister they both looked just like him. If you followed the story before and after Michael's death, that Dermatologist wanted some rights to those children after Michael's death. That man was on Larry King, and all over the media. Didn't know why this man didn't want to tell the real truth or maybe he promised Micahel while livin, that he wanted this to be kept a secret? Do you remember hearing about that?
As far as blanket, you don't see him that often, he is quite, and I don't know if that's michael's kid or not? Can't tell? I also heard, there was a teenage boy or now, young man that Michael was close with but was kept somewhat of a secret to the public who he really was to Michael? So many secrets? Even if the kids aren't Michaels, Michael rasied them good, gave them all love, and respect. I wonder what's up with the mother of Prince & Paris? Is she somewhat involved in these kids life?

This is to Gail: Thank you my sister! Didn't Joe Jackson accuse his estranged wife of being at fault for letting Michael die? Why is there at her home harassing his children's mother? I remember to well, him promoting his record label at the BET awards last year and MJ had just passed! That man is a meanspirited bastard opportunist of the first degree! Randy Jackson needs to recognize that his mother is a grown ass woman who does not need his permission to do anything! She can sit with and do an interview with whomever she chooses. Randy needs to support his children that he had with Jermaine's ex girlfriend. better yet, does he have his own girlfriend, or is he still sleeping with his brothers left overs?? His moral values are in the tank, so he needs to stop criticizing Oprah!!

Randy is right. Oprah doesn't care about Michael Jackson. When Michael died, Oprah was asked why wasn't she @ the funeral and she replied "It wasn't like he was my friend". That totally floored me and I sent her an email telling her so. Her website had several other comments expressing her nonchalot attitude of Michael's death and her not acknowledging him for several weeks. Oprah just wants "her ratings", she doesn't care about the Jacksons. For all of you out there who may think I'm hating, that's not the case. I give Oprah her props for her accomplishments but I'm calling it like it is - when she made that comment, it was mean and uncalled for and I'm putting her in check.

With all truthfulness and sincerity, even if Michael had kept himself together like he did during the Bad Era, I would have loved to have seen him when he was alive get himself together and move overseas permanently after 1993. I know about a book called Redemption a must read. It talks about the first allegations which was an extortion. Now, the allegtions came as a result because Michael owned the music catalog of the Beatles. The second allegations came because they could not get him the first time.
Dick Gregory, who is a family friend and Civil Rights icon knows about the morality clause when Michael purchased the music in 1985. I wish that he meaning MJ had a mentor in his life who meant him good and he would be living today. If he had not had alot of bilkers and bad people around him even if he never painkillers or had plastic surgery Michael needed the right people in his life. The first time the allegtions came he should have worked it out and gotten rid of some individuals then. Every one who smiles in your face is not your friend.
What I wish even if he did not have the molestation allegations is that someone from the faith community had only thought enough to work with him. I have listened to alot of black gospel artists speak but I think many of them should have reached out to him period.
