Kourtney & Kim Take New York Recap: The Painfully Boring Birthday Event of the Year

We learned a few days ago that the Kardashian family grossed $65 million in 2010, and guess what? We’re alllllllllllll to blame. You, me, the little girl clutching her copy of Kardashian Konfidential. They’re an intriguing family, that bunch. What started out as another reality show in 2007 has snowballed into an enormous empire made up of slutty clothes and sexually-charged commercials. Somewhere in a holding cell, Paris Hilton is seething. Sunday on Kourtney & Kim Take New York , Kim ushered in year 30 with a heavy heart. The-one-with-the-derriere says she imagined herself married with kids by this milestone. Instead she’s a bona fide sex symbol/entrepeneur rolling in cash. This is not a deviation I would spend my birthday moments crying over. I’d be too busy simultaneously patting myself on the back while throwing dollar bills from my hotel room screaming, “I don’t have to battle the baby weight and I haven’t married the wrong man! AND I just bought myself another Birkin!”

Source: Dianna Agron Dumped Alex Pettyfer Over Racy Photos

How does a couple fend engagement rumors one week and announce their split the next? Such is the question fans have about Dianna Agron and Alex Pettyfer . But TMZ now claims to have the answer: a source tells that website the Glee actress was steamed over a racy Tyler Shields photo shoot involving Pettyfer, Lydia Hearst and Leven Rambin. The only problem with this break-up basis? While the pictures were released a couple weeks ago, Pettyfer posed for them months before he even started dating Agron. Still, they are pretty darn hot. Might he have kept news of their existence from Agron, fueling her anger once they actually hit the Internet? We have no idea. But one thing is certain: Hearst and Rambin are awesome!

MJ’s Kids on Conrad Murray: Best Doctor Ever?

Last fall, we reported that Michael Jackson’s children may be asked to testify on behalf of Dr. Conrad Murray, as the embattled physician’s lawyers seek to establish that the late, great King of Pop had longstanding drug addictions. While that says little about Murray’s actual care, Jackson’s kids apparently thought highly of him in that regard too, because their famous father did. The children refused to believe that their dad died of a heart attack in June 2009, since MJ raved that Dr. Conrad Murray was the best doctor on Earth. For what it’s worth, Michael and the kids loved Murray. Jackson’s former nanny, Grace Rwaramba , has described his addictions in detail, and spoke with LAPD investigators about how Dr. Murray became a “regular” around the house when the singer lived in Vegas, visiting at least twice a week. Grace said Michael would constantly praise Murray in front of the kids, and that’s why after he died, the kids would say , “There’s no way daddy could have died of a heart attack because Dr. Murray is the best doctor in the whole world.” Grace also said Michael first met Murray through a member of MJ’s security team. As she explains it, Jackson felt he could trust Murray in large part because the security guy claimed he had some sort of mysterious leverage over the doctor. Grace offered no further explanation about the mysterious leverage, but like everything else related to Michael Jackson, truth is often stranger than fiction. On an unrelated, but equally peculiar note, Grace says on a family trip to Florida, the kids called 911 when they discovered MJ “passed out” in their hotel. It’s unclear when the incident took place or what caused it.

Witness: Michael Jackson’s Kids Watched Him Die

Michael Jackson’s children watched him die, according to a prosecution witness in the preliminary hearing for his embattled physician, Dr. Conrad Murray. As Murray tried in vain to revive MJ after a drug overdose, his children Paris and Prince entered his bedroom, a former employee testified on Wednesday. “Paris screamed, ‘Daddy,’ and she started crying,” Alberto Alvarez, a logistics director for Jackson, recalled as Katherine and Janet Jackson sat in court. Paris, Blanket and Prince have been through a lot . Alvarez testified in the second day of a preliminary hearing in L.A. Superior Court on an involuntary manslaughter charge against Dr. Conrad Murray. Jackson feared being murdered , we learned yesterday, but Murray is not accused of anything like that. He didn’t mean for MJ to die, but is he liable? The judge will determine whether there’s enough evidence for a trial for the 57-year-old doctor, and it’s all but a formality that Murray will stand trial. According to Alvarez, when MJ’s children appeared that day, Murray shouted, “Get them out! Get them out! Don’t let them see their father like this.” At the time, Paris was 11 years old and Prince was 12. Jackson was on his back, his eyes and mouth open, as Murray gave chest compressions and attempted mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, Alvarez says. He was later declared dead at the hospital at age 50. It’s whether Murray was responsible for his passing away that is in question here, of course. Murray’s conduct that day was suspicious, and his expected defense – that Michael killed himself – is thin. You won’t hear that this week, though. At the preliminary hearing, the defense is likely to sit and watch the prosecution outline its case, rather than try to plead its own. There’s no point. It would be a losing battle now, so they are likely to gear up for trial after seeing what the D.A. has and plans on using to convict Conrad Murray.

At Home With Prince, Paris & Blanket Jackson

It’s been almost a year since their famous father’s death, and Michael Jackson’s children have understandably attracted a great deal of attention in that time. We’ve seen them at his memorial service, the Grammy Awards and on YouTube. But who are they really? They’re unique individual s, each a bit like their dad. At 13, Prince Michael Jackson is, in the words of family, “very smart” and an aspiring filmmaker. A year younger, Paris Jackson is “the strongest” of the three. That’s according to their grandmother and guardian, Katherine Jackson, who recently opened up to London’s Daily Mirror about caring for the star’s children. Their baby brother Blanket (real name Prince Michael Jackson II) is, well, a baby brother. His uncle, Jermaine Jackson, says he’s a water-gun-toting prankster. “As soon as you turn your back,” he told London’s Sun of Blanket, who his own son was accused of trying to taser, “he shoots you and you’re left soaking wet.” While Katherine Jackson recently said the home-schooled Prince, Paris and Blanket ” don’t have any friends ” she says they’re going to school come September. In a separate interview with the Associated Press, Katherine Jackson’s lawyer Adam Streisand noted only that Prince Michael would be heading off to school. But deep down, they’re pretty regular kids, just like MJ wanted. They’re upbeat, they’re into video games, movies, karate, and just playing with each other. If you caught Blanket going bonkers with his light saber moves YouTube, you already know he’s come out of his shell a bit. His older siblings are no different. The children are thriving, and what is often overlooked is how Michael Jackson, who lacked a real childhood himself, raised these three without mothers. Perhaps he was more human than people gave him credit for being. “The kids are happy,” said their godfather and Michael’s friend Mark Lester , the former child actor of Oliver! fame. “Things are settling down. That’s good.”

Jackson Family Feud Brewing Over Kids’ Housing

As we reported in late April, Katherine Jackson wants four of her grandkids out of her house so that she can better care for Michael Jackson’s children. The problem is Alejandra Jackson, who’s gearing up for a fight. She’s been living at the family compound in Encino with kids Donte, Randy Jr., Jaafar and Jermajesty – two born to Randy and two to Jermaine Jackson . Jaafar’s bid to taser Blanket a few months ago sparked a DCFS probe and prompted Katherine to kick them out so she can care for Michael’s offspring. Katherine’s bid to give Michael’s kids a better environment is being challenged . While downsizing the brood at home, Katherine Jackson is allowing Alejandra and her kids to move into a nearby condo owned by the Jackson family. But Alejandra is far from pleased here. When Katherine, who is out of town until June 10, comes back to L.A., Alejandra has to move. But she’s lawyered up to negotiate a separation deal. Alejandra wants some assurance that her family will be financially protected and is likely to challenge the move until she gets something on paper. Also, Alejandra has gone after Jermaine in the past for failing to pay child support, and given this forced move, that battle has been reignited too. Never a dull moment with the Jackson family, that’s for sure.

Blanket Jackson Goes Bonkers on YouTube

Michael Jackson’s children have remained largely out of the spotlight since the music icon’s death, making these newly-discovered videos all the more surprising. A series of home videos showing Prince Michael Jackson II (a.k.a. Blanket) dancing and singing have surfaced on YouTube. He is very cute and full of energy. In this clip, Blanket can be seen bouncin’ around and singing with cousin Donte (one of Jermaine Jackson’s sons … not the one who tried to taser Blanket ) … Blanket Dancing It’s unclear who leaked these videos and why, but they provide a rare glimpse into the daily life of MJ’s youngest son, who’s always been shrouded in mystery. Follow the jump for two more videos of Blanket, known for being the shyest of Michael’s kids, revealing his extroverted side and reenacting a from Star Wars . Blanket also likes to pretend he’s Vincent van Gogh, and makes references to Mike Wazowski, presumably a reference to the creature from Monsters, Inc .: Blanket Does Star Wars Blanket is Awesome

Teenage Son of Jermaine Jackson Orders Stun Gun Online, Attempts to Taser Blanket

Poor Blanket. One day, he’s being dangled over a balcony by his dad. Then, years later, an older cousin orders a freaking stun gun online to taser the tyke. Jermaine Jackson’s 13-year-old son, Jaafar, ordered a stun gun online, and according to reports, Blanket (a.k.a. Prince Michael Jackson II) was the target. Presumably just as a (horribly misguided) prank? We hope? Randy Jackson initially said that the gun was confiscated by security when it was delivered three weeks ago and locked up by guardian Katherine Jackson. TMZ reports that children at the Jackson home were playing with the gun last week, however, specifically using the gun on the second floor of the house. Security guards on the property were perplexed because they couldn’t figure out where the noise was coming from … nor could they identify the sound. Late last week, we’re told one of the security guards went upstairs and “stopped Jermaine’s kids from stunning Blanket .” The guard confiscated the gun. The L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services went to the Jackson home in Encino last night, around 10:30, confiscating Jaafar’s stun gun. But sources say the kids have a second gun that DCFS did not recover and is somewhere on the property. DCFS considers this “a very serious situation.” Randy, brother of the late Michael Jackson and Blanket’s uncle, says the gun was delivered to the house
