Jackson Kids Save a Puppy

Paris, Prince, Blanket help Scooby Roo—but spies call them 'weird'

(NEWSER) - Thanks in part to Michael Jackson’s three children, a two-legged dog got a set of wheels this weekend. TMZ reported last month that the Jacksons were trying to raise $2,000 to pay for the custom cart—no word on how much they contributed.

Jacko Kids Take Vegas

Kids getting back to normal at hotel that used to be home

(NEWSER) - Michael Jackson’s three children spent the weekend at their old home—the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas, where they lived with the King of Pop briefly last year, People reports. This time around, Prince, Paris, and Blanket were joined by grandma Katherine and three friends, and spent a few hours yesterday playing—and dancing—at the pool and sipping virgin daiquiris.
