Michael Jackson’s 13-year-old daughter sits down for her first solo interview and admits she thought wearing masks when she was little was “stupid.” Plus, the budding actress talks about starring in her first movie, Lundon’s Bridge and the Three Keys.
WHEN LINDSAY LOHAN MISSED HER FLIGHT FROM HAWAII TO LA ON TUESDAY, SHE ALSO MISSED HER TAPED INTERVIEW WITH ELLEN. BUT THE TALK SHOW HOST FOUND A VERY INTERESTING, LAST-MINUTE REPLACEMENT… PARIS JACKSON, IN HER VERY FIRST SOLO INTERVIEW…
MICHAEL JACKSON’S DAUGHTER IS SET TO MAKE HER ACTING DEBUT AS THE LEAD IN “LUNDON’S BRIDGE AND THE THREE KEYS,” A LIVE-ACTION ANIMATED MOVIE BASED ON THE TWEEN BOOK SERIES. AND THE 13-YEAR-OLD CUTIE SAYS SHE ALWAYS KNEW SHE WANTED TO BE AN ACTRESS.
“Did you tell your dad you wanted to act, yeah, we did improvs together, and he’d give me scenarios and say in this scene you’re going to cry on the spot, and I’d cry on the spot, you’d cry on the spot? So you got away with all kinds of things! So he didn’t know if you were really crying or just acting probably, apparently I was faking it a lot of times.”
AND LEAVE IT TO ELLEN TO GET PARIS TO OPEN UP ABOUT HER FATHER’S QUIRKY HABITS, LIKE MAKING HIS KIDS WEAR MASKS IN PUBLIC.
“And when you would wear the masks, do you remember thinking, because your dad did that to protect you and you could have normal life, do you remember thinking, this is kind of weird, yeah I’m like this is stupid why am I wearing a mask, yeah but I realized the older I got, he was just trying to protect us and he explained that to us too.”
PARIS WILL PLAY “LUNDON O’MALLEY” IN THE UPCOMING MOVIE, WHICH TELLS THE STORY ABOUT MAGIC UNDER THE SEA…
MUSIC
SHE’LL CO-STAR WITH N’SYNC’S JOEY FATONE, AND LARRY KING AND HIS WIFE SHAWN… AND GET THIS, HALF THE PROFITS FROM THE MOVIE WILL BE DONATED TO U.S. SCHOOLS FACING LOW BUDGETS AND PROGRAM CUTS.
LOOKS LIKE PARIS IS FOLLOWING RIGHT IN HER FATHER’S FOOTSTEPS…
MICHAEL JACKSON’S FORMER DOCTOR WAS HANDED THE MAXIMUM SENTENCE FOR INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER BY JUDGE MICHAEL PASTOR TUESDAY IN AN L-A COURTROOM.
MURRAY COULD SERVE AS LITTLE AS TWO YEARS BECAUSE OF OVERCROWDING IN CALIFORNIA PRISONS.
PRIOR TO THE SENTENCING, JACKSON FAMILY ATTORNEY BRIAN PANISH READ A STATEMENT FROM THE FAMILY.
THE PROSECUTION ALSO ASKED FOR $100 MILLION DOLLARS IN RESTITUTION FOR LOST TOUR REVENUES, BUT THE JUDGE SAID HE DIDN’T HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION TO RULE ON THAT. A RESTITUTION HEARING WILL BE SET FOR A LATER DATE.
DR. CONRAD MURRAY’S INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER CASE LASTED SIX LONG WEEKS, BUT IT TOOK THE JURY ONLY ABOUT NNE HOURS TO REACH A VERDICT.
A JURY OF SEVEN MEN AND FIVE WOMEN DELIBERATED FOR JUST A COUPLE OF HOURS ON MONDAY BEFORE SIGNALING THAT THEY HAD REACHED A VERDICT CONVICTING MICHAEL JACKSON’S DOCTOR…
THE KING OF POP DIED IN JUNE OF 2009 FROM A FATAL DOSE OF PROPOFOL, WHICH MURRAY ADMITTED GIVING JACKSON TO HELP HIM SLEEP.
CONRAD MURRAY WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY PENDING HIS SENTENCING. HE FACES UP TO FOUR YEARS IN PRISON, AND HE’LL LOSE HIS MEDICAL LICENSE. BUT THE SENTENCE WILL BE DECIDED BY THE JUDGE NOT THE JURY.
MURRAY’S SENTENCING HAS BEEN SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER 29TH.

LOOKS LIKE PARIS HAS OFFICIALLY ENTERED THE BOY CRAZY PHASE.
After Arnold Schwarzenegger shocked the world with news he had a son out of wedlock, CelebTV looks at other famous A-list baby daddies who had secret kids, including Steven Tyler, Eddie Murphy and more.
Arnold Schwarzenegger shocked the world this week when he confirmed that he fathered a son with the family's former housekeeper. But Arnold's not the first famous baby-daddy to have a child out of wedlock. Take a look...
Actress Liv Tyler was born to Playboy Playmate Bebe Buell [CHECK PRONUNCIATION] in 1977 and grew up thinking rocker Todd Rundgren was her dad.
It wasn't until she was 9, when little Liv met another rock star, Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler--that she noticed a resemblance with his daughter Mia. She put two and two together and later officially became Liv Tyler.
In 2006, funnyman Eddie Murphy hooked up with Melanie Brown, and the Spice Girl was soon claiming that the baby in her belly was Murphy's. He publicly questioned his paternity, but shortly after baby Angel Brown was born, a DNA test had confirmed Daddy Murphy.
Based on this guy's dance moves, you'd think he was Michael Jackson's son or something.
Well, you wouldn't be the only one. Danish-born rapper Omer Bhatti (BAH-tee) grew up traveling with MJ, and his mother Pia was reportedly a nanny for Michael's son Prince.
While you can't deny his resemblance to Michael -- or even Blanket Jackson -- Omer's paternity has never been confirmed.
What pops in to your mind when I say "dancing 65 year old"? Well, I can almost guarantee it's NOT what you're about to see.
That's Chinese grandma Bai Shuying (shoe-ying), channeling Michael Jackson --and busting some seriously awesome dance moves -- on "China's Got Talent."
But we have to admit, this hot grandma had us with her warm-up...
THEY SAY THAT LOVE IS BLIND… EXCEPT IN HOLLYWOOD HOT STARS USUALLY HOOK UP WITH--OTHER HOT STARS…BUT WE DUG UP A BUNCH OF CELEB ODD COUPLES THAT WILL ALWAYS HAVE US ASKING – ‘FO REAL???
It wasn't always Sunny in Cher's life...would you believe this cougar was once a puma on the prowl?
Cher must have had fighter-jet fever in the mid-80's when she got together with both Tom Cruise AND Val Kilmer…but not at the same time…
Later she found some harmony with Bon Jovi axe-man Richie Sambora who produced her album…Maybe they even shared a hair stylist…
And after Richie and Heather Locklear got divorced…She dated David Spade… Wonder if they shared hair products?
And how about Brooke Shields and Michael Jackson? The child stars were best friends in their early teens and made appearances together into the 90's. Could've just been puppy love, but let’s be honest, Michael Jackson made any couple an odd one.
Julia Roberts hooked up with a handful of studs over the years like Benjamin Bratt and Dylan McDermott, but don't let that fool ya. In 1993 she tied the knot with eccentric country-singer Lyle Lovett. They called it quits after two years, but we bet he’s still pattin’ himself on the back for that one...
But our favorite odd couple has to be Padma (pad-ma) Lakshmi and Salmon Rushdie (rush-dee). She’s a model and Top Chef, and he’s a brainy Brit who wrote “The Satanic Verses” writer. Their unlikely union lasted two years, but even now, we still don’t get it!
GUESS IT’S TRUE WHAT THEY SAY, BEAUTY’S IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER.
In her Dateline/Today interview with NBC’s Meredith Vieira, the pop star reveals how her brothers’ teasing affected her self image. She also admits she hasn’t grieved for her brother Michael until recently.
