Paris Leaving Father's Private Memorial Service
Posted on Tue Jul 7, 2009 01:00 PM PDT


Poor girl. Did you hear her speak onstage at the Staples Center? That was intense. And sad.
Here's Paris Jackson - with her Aunt LaToya and her grandmother Katherine - leaving the memorial service at Forest Lawn earlier this morning. We're glad she's surrounded by family. It's a difficult day. Wishing her all the best...
Who will get custody of her and her brothers?

Poor Paris and her brothers. :( Now we can see who is the REAL family of those kids!!! Just leave them with their grand-ma, uncles, aunts and cousins, Mrs. Rowe!!! Don't add up to their pain and loss if you have a heart inside of you!!!
I did fine through the whole memorial until Paris spoke. Then I sobbed. CNN just showed that again and I'm crying again.
Same for me Mickey... It is so sad and heartbreaking.
The only part i cry soo sad
OMG, I can't stop crying after Paris spoke. RIP Michael Jackson
That was heartrending. Paris was obviously daddy's girl. So sad :(
Still a freaky family. They actually dyed Prince michael's hair BLACK ! There were recent photos of him with sandy blonde hair. NATURAL. Now the family thinks dying his hair black makes him look more like them ? Good grief ! Accept who you look like ! What kind of freaks will these kids turn out to be if they can't even accept what they REALLY look like. 100% WHITE children !
Tito, bring me a tissue. Get a life you freakin losers.
No way, these kids are NOT 100% white, especially the 2 oldest, they have the look of white/black parents. We truly CANNOT say that they don't look like MJ because we don't even know what MJ should look like now. I think their his.
These kids are going to be better off without their nutcase fake daddy in their lives. Now maybe they can go out without masks on their face.
So touching when Paris spoke. She's a beauty and so brave! Hope the kids won't be hunted by the paparazzi..Give them space! Kinda weird that the boys were just chewing gum..seems a bit disrespectful.
The boys are young and maybe chewing gum was a way to help them deal with nerves...give them a break thier father just died!! The Jackson probably let them do whatever they needed to cope and get through the day. Have you been that age and lost your father AND do it so publicly with millions around the world watching you AND not know if you might be torn away from the only family you've known by the word of jude?? No, I didnt think you had. Grow up and have some compassion.
I bawled literally! Now seriously leave her alone.
Those kids looked like they were handling this situation pretty good, although, hurting inside, Paris did a wonderful job for the 1st time ever speaking in public and in front of so many ppl. Leave them kids with the Jacksons, Auntie Janet looks like she should take them and mother them. Paris sure was hanging with her!
MJ didnt choose the ones he loved or worked with based on skin color, and anyone really gets that wouldnt either. What does their skin colour matter? They were his kids, they loved him, he loved them. It's the ignorant in the world and the critical media who will make those kids lives hell if they let it. I hope they find a way to grow up proud of who they are...no matter what. It's what MJ would've wanted.
what did the girl say? anyone have a link to see what she said?
Debbie Rowe admitted they used donor sperm to produce the oldest 2 kids. They are NOT Michael Jackson's. And you people who think these two kids are half black, are freaks yourself. Morons.
Let those kids be the color that they are ! WHITE ! Let them have their own hair color ! Dyeing a kids hair black does not make them black. This teaches them to be like their adoptive father MJ !
The speech of MJs daughter was so heartbreaking =(..May god bless them
RIP MJ

That little girl handled herself so graciously throughout the whole ceremony i am really impressed.And when she finally spoke...oh my god...i will just say that i now have a headache from how much i cried!
Why in the world was Joe Jackson and Michael's sons popping gum at the memorial? The oldest was even blowing bubbles. That was soooo not classy.
i wonder if those poor kids are ever given a moments privacy or peace without numerous people fussing and hovering over them. life with the Jackson's will be boring and tame after non-stop globe trotting with Dad. wait 10 years or less and see the kind of messed up adults with endless money they will be! :(
I saw her
I cried just to see her speaking
she couldn't talk fine
poor girl =(
When paris spoke, I cried..some haters seem to forget that these 3 kids just lost thier father..as for the boys chewing gum..so was Joe Jackson..he was probably the one who gave them the gum! It doesn't matter if it was jacksons sperm or not, those kids were his, he was the only father they ever knew.
Beautifully done service...very classy. I admire that little girl. It took enormous courage and she can live the rest of her life proud of what she was able to say to the world about her father on the day he was memorialized. Very courageous little girl...she did her father proud.
I was impressed with the memorial. A lovely and dignified service. God bless the children, I hope they are surrounded by love and comfort as they deal with the loss of their dad. Regardless of how people felt about Michael, his kids loved him and they should be respected and protected. RIP Michael, please shelter your kids from the media insanity from wherever you are, they deserve to miss you and cherish your memory in peace.

Everyone is so sure these are not his kids...show me the link to the DNA test,show my the link to the Debbie Rowe interview(which her lawyer has stated publicly did not happen)Not all kids look like both their parents, and we don't even know what MJ would have looked like as an adult if he didn't have all the plastic surgery. I think the oldest kids look like they have the darker skin. Maybe one day we'll really know, and all the people who think they are not his will eat NANCY GRACE CROW PIE!
All the haters can go to hell and back those were his kids and he deserve to have the world remember him. He was one amazimg person and aii those who are saying bad things about him should try to understand the kind of life he has.
Try not to judge
RIP Michael....and watch over your sweet children. They need you.
Looks like X17 is trying to turn Paris Jackson into the latest tabloid sensation the way they're focusing on her. suppose this means she won't be able to go out in public now for the next 20 years without paproids harrassing her every move.
All the haters can go to hell and back
Try not to judge
Who cares with the fucking skin color!!! You guys are fucking hitlers!!! It doesn't matter for Paris and her brothers that their father is Black and that the family they always knew and love is Black. Fucking accept it, okay racists idiots!!! Do you have a heart inside of you? Or do you have a stone made of shit instead? What kind of human are you to speak about skin color when a child cries to the world that she loved her dad that just died!!! Shame on you racist evil beings!!!
I am so worried about those three children. Because there are so many allegations that their paternal grandfather was abusive to his children I do not think that they should stay with the paternal grandmother. Two of them have a mother who wants custody. I believe that if she is a normal person (non-abusive, stable, etc.) she should be the one who gets the custody. I feel awful about the destiny of the youngest one whose mother is not known.
all three kids are mixed. they are NOT 100% white. easy to see. they are golden skinned not pinkies. and who cares anyway! i agree with anonymous at 5:06 pm. the kids already have a caring family and debbie rowe may cause trauma by trying to stress them. the kids don't love her, they don't know her and she doesn't know them. blood is not enough to make you a parent. a real parent is devoted to their kids, a real parent cares for their kids and the kids feel it and love and cherish the parent. that's the way it is. it's not a question of DNA, it's a question a presence and love, real love not money-love. debbie rowe said it so many times "it's michael's kids". she even did say "i don't want them to call me mum". so she made it clear and now all of the sudden she cares? it's just not right. i'm sure the kids would even pick janet over debbie rowe to be their "mum". just watch the memorial. the answer is there. ask the kids who is their family? ask them who they want to live with? do you believe the name debbie rowe would pop out their mouth? are you kidding me? you all know who they'd pick. listen to what Paris said at the memorial and who was by her side and how close that family looks. nobody can take that real love away.
I hope to GOD, you , the media, leaves these children alone............forever!
This is why I hate people b/c they always have a negative thing to say, let the guy RIP ok.. and IF he did anything sick to little kids then its between him and God
Only GOD can and should judge us....for all of you who judge him and his family, may GOD bless you. You don't know what happened. Not saying that it didn't, but who am I to judge. I wasn't there, so I don't know. But if the boy and his family lied they will be the ones burning in hell.
If Michael was guilty or not, does it really matter? He is gone now and has left three kids alone and God knows what is going to happen to them. I am praying they stay with Katherine. I believe in what is best for kids and obviously they are happiest with Katherine. Let us all act like adults and stop the hateful words because Michael was NEVER convicted, never forget that!
How many times we hear that a mans sperm dont make him a father...
Babies are concieved everyday but how often and how long does the man stick around for one to call him daddy or father
Does it really matter? Yeah it matters to the kids he molested who are living. One of the kids was a cancer patient.
Michael was the best
I really enjoyed the service today and when micheal daughter spoke tears just rolled down my face i'm deeply sad and i wish the best and much love to his family and children may god be with you all and yall micheal we forever be in my heart, god has gave his angle his wings.
so you're saying deb r is like brit s they're egg donors not moms. one dumped her kids for horses. one dumped her kids for horse dick. mj didn't give sperm to make kids. kfed sperminates every chick just looking at them. both stuck around. the kids call them daddy. ok i get how kfed the sperminator is a daddy. how does mj get to be a daddy by running away with a baby covered in bloody mommy sac???
WHERES JANET????!!!! AFTER THE TEARFUL SCENE AT THE MEMORIAL .......
WHERES JANET????!!!! AFTER THE TEARFUL SCENE AT THE MEMORIAL .......
I AM BIRACIAL AND i LOOK VERY MUCH LIKE PARIS. MANY BLACKS PASSED FOR WHITE DURING SLAVERY TIMES. THE ELDEST SON PRINCE HAS A BIG BLACK PERSON NOSE LIKE THE ORIGINAL NOSE OF MICHAEL JACKSON. WHITE KIDS ARE VERY PALE...LOOK IN THE MIRROR. MIXED KIDS HAVE PERFECT YEAR ROUND TANS LIKE ME AND THOSE KIDS. LOOK AT HALLE BERRY'S DAUGHTER.
Next TMZ will do their sneaky tricks to get a upskirt on the daughter and start accusing her of becoming a skank.
YOU GLORIFY HIM LIKE A HUMAN GOD
YOU THE PUBLIC KILL A LOT OF THE FAMOUS
YOU RUIN THIER LIVES TO THE POINT
WHERE THEY WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE
YOU THE MEDIA IS PART OF THE DOWNFALL WRITE ABOUTSOMETHING ELSE,YOU HAVE 1000
PEOPLE COVERING ONE STORY. WRITE ABOUT HOW TO MAKE NOTBOOK PAPER
IN YOUR SPARE TIME OR SOMETHING,
If they are or not..M.J raised them so that makes him the daddy for those 3 kids. He paid off the mother of the children the one that looks like she swallowed a horse.. man that chin of her's she can slice butter with a chin like that..loool Really. Even though MJ was abit hmm wierd.. but damn he sure made my feet move to the rythm of the music.. We will always miss him, he was one genuine gem in the world. We lost someone that made this world a better place to be.
May you rest in Peace Micheal J..Allah is with you..
It truly was heartbreaking to see Paris go up there and speak. That was so brave of her. I know those children are heartbroken and thats so sad. I will put aside my feelings of Michael Jackson and honor his children who must feel so lost. And no matter what, these children lost their father. Its finally nice to actually see them without getups covering their faces. Now we can all see how adorable they are. I give my sympathies to the children.
Michael Jackson is MUSLIM......how come no one wants to talk about that???? How come the media fails to mention that fact? muslim is the new black.....and muslim is the new jew
THEY ARE CHILDREN!!!!! THEY ARE HURTING!!!!! MANY MEN CAN PRODUCE BABIES BUT IT TAKES A SPECIAL MAN TO BE A DADDY. THEY WERE A FAMILY, LEAVE THEM ALONE AND LETS MOVE ON. TODAY I CHALLENGE YOU TO REACH OUT TO SOMEONE THAT NEEDS THE LORD IN THEIR LIFE. TEACH THEM THAT THEY MAY KNOW WHO GOD IS.
OK!!!!! Just because they are not BIOLOICALLY his, does not mean tht they are "not" his. My husband is adopted, and has had the best parents EVER! You people on here really need to grow up! I feel for these kids and the Jacksons. Michael was a true icon, and a great legend!! Forever he will be missed! We love you Michael!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOUR EARN YOUR WINGS AS A PARENT! PARIS AND PRINCE AND BLANKET ARE BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN.. THEY LOOKED WELL CARED FOR... GOOD JOB MICHAEL JACKSON!!
Does it truly matter if he was or wasn't the father? Paris spoke well beyond her 11 years, showing a composure that many adults could not have pulled together. Her love for MJ spoke loud in her words...let these children heal now. MJ might have done it in a bizarre way, but at least he did not whore his children to the media like Joe did...MJ never had his childhood, so he tried to give his kids the best chance of having one.
He bought white kids b/c he hated being black. They have the whatchamacallit syndrome.
If Debbie Rowe comes back and want the kids and a judge gives them to her then I know that it is just another episode of let's mess with Mike. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that Debbie wants Michael money and she knows where the kids are the money follow. Go to Hell Debbie Rowe
i think debbie rowe loves her kids but i think she should not take care aft the children why
a) that was in mjjs will
b) the kids don't ever know her well as kathrine does.
michael is a great father, pop singer and familiy member
we miss you mjj
u are soooooo dum Anonymous mjj loved bieng black it's just that he had lupas and he became adicted to dimrovan and idf he was still black u could see all the black spots he had
There are some pretty ignorant people commenting on this site with no respect for the dead or the family. Your mother obviously didn't raise you right.
i think michael was the best singer,dancer,dad,and actor in the whole world.MJ was soooooo cute and so adorable. Escpecially on the Wiz!
