There’s a new paterfamilias in town, and his name is TJ Jackson —the 34-year-old who’s just been appointed by an L.A. judge to be temporary guardian of his uncle Michael’s three kids. Beckloff suspended Katherine Jackson as custodian for Prince, Paris and Prince Michael II, known as Blanket, because she may be “prevented from acting as a guardian because of the acts of third parties.”
The judge also ordered that Diana Ross, whom Michael Jackson named as backup guardian in his will, and Debbie Rowe, the biological mother of the two oldest children, be given notice of the order.

For Paris Jackson, being the daughter of Michael Jackson has always come with its unique peculiarities. Paris talked about the infamous masks she and her brother had to wear while out with Michael, and reflected on her own memories of her father (Michael Jackson), who passed away three years ago.
The 14-year old admitted that she gets bullied at her private school, but she tries not to let the bullying get to her. Instead, she thinks of the man she knew, who nurtured her and loved her unconditionally. No amount of bullying can take away those memories and experiences she shared with her father.
“People have tried [to bully], but it doesn’t always work. Both at school and some people try to cyber bully me.”
“They try to get to me with words, but that doesn’t really work.”
Asked if she thought people picking on her were just jealous, Paris said: “Maybe, I don’t know.” Jackson says she mostly ignores it.
