Brett Ratner is reportedly interested in making a movie that would show "the real" Michael Jackson, and he recently met with Frank Cascio, author of “My Friend Michael" and a longtime pal of the late King of Pop.

Cascio reportedly met Jackson in 1984 and became his assistant and eventually his manager, and his book documents the singer's highs and lows, including child molestation charges and prescription drug use. Ratner was also friends with Jackson, and a source close to the director tells NY Daily News that he has toyed around with the idea of making biopic on the singer for a while. At the time of Jackson's death, Ratner told the LA Times that he “was the most inspirational person in my life ... When you were with him, you really felt like God was within him.” Hmm...

In other news, the teaser for the special MJ tribute episode of Glee has hit the web, and it features Darren Criss covering Jackson's hit, "Wanna Be Startin' Something". Click thru to watch!

X17 EXCLUSIVE - Randy Jackson Granted Extension For $600K Child Support Case Against Baby Mama's Wishes

Jan 20, 2012 10:40 AM

jackson092610_01_X17newcolorfix.jpgRandy Jackson and the mother of his two children, Alejandra, faced off in an LA courtroom Friday morning over a $600k child support judgement that was awarded to her back in December 1990. The judge ended up siding with Randy.

In court, Alejandra had said her daughter was born in 1999, which would make her 13. However, Jackson's lawyers clarified the age. Since their youngest child, Genevieve, is 22 and an adult ... the judge didn't force Michael's brother to hand over any money, and instead, postponed the case until May 25.

Alejandra claims Randy has not paid his $1,200-a-month child support in years and as a result, the amount now exceeds $600k.

Randy filed a countersuit claiming that Alejandra agreed to a deal back in 1993 that would allow her to live comfortably at the Jackson Encino home instead of receiving payments. This included cooks, maids, food and use of luxury cars. In Randy's suit, it says Alejandra and her kids have lived "like kings and queens at Randy Jackson's expense."

A Jackson insider tells X17online exclusively:

    "Randy is a great dad, and his kids are well taken care of. He's excited to get this over with and move on."

Randy never married Alejandra, but they had two children together. Alejandra then went ahead and married his brother Jermaine, against his will and knowledge ... and had two kids with him. Now, after almost two decades, we're told "she's after money from both brothers."

Paris Jackson Lands Her First Feature Film Role

Dec 9, 2011 12:35 PM

The 13-year-old daughter of the late Michael Jackson has just landed her very first feature film role in the upcoming fantasy flick, Lundon's Bridge and the Three Kings.

The film, adapted from the children's fantasy novel by Dennis H. Christen Lundon, is being produced by Larry & Shawn King, and centers on a dolphin who turns into a human, and a teenage boy who morphs into a dragonfly, and a jellyfish queen who changes into an evil fairy godmother.

The Jackson kids expressed their desire to enter the acting world during an interview with Good Morning America early this year, where grandma Katherine revealed:

    "Paris dresses up like a little waitress or something, and they shoot their little movies."

Paris is set to play the title role of Lundon O'Malley, and N Sync's Joey Fatone and Love Boat alum Ted Lange have also nabbed roles in the upcoming flick, which will donate 50% of all gross revenue profits directly to the U.S. school system.

Michael Jackson would be proud!
