Michael Jackson's teenage daughter Paris appears to have found love with aspiring rapper Romeo Hodges if their Twitter.com correspondence is anything to go by.

After asking her followers to pray for Hodges following a car accident last month (Jan12), the couple's friendship seems to have blossomed into romance.

And when one mutual friend suggested "yah should just be girlfriend&boyfriend already" in a tweet earlier this week, Paris, 13, responded, "idk (I don't know) @romeohodges... are we?"

The young rapper added, "Let's hope it's a yes... my heart has the answer."

And, on Wednesday (01Feb12), Hodges gushed, "@ParisJackson Guess Who Loves You?"

Further fuelling speculation about the romance, Paris revealed she and Hodges have a special song they share and sent followers to the YouTube video of Christina Perri's Twilight love theme A Thousand Years on Thursday (02Feb12).

A Minnesota mom is fuming after her 9-year-old son was suspended from school for mimicking Michael Jackson's famous groin-grabbing moves during a performance of "Billie Jean" at a fundraiser last week

Mindy Boberg says the principal of St. Stanislaus in Winona, Pat Bowlin, tore into her and her son, Lenny, immediately after the boy's Jacko act on Thursday night, claiming the crotch-clutching portions constituted "gross misconduct," the Winona Daily News reported.

"[Lenny] is heartbroken," Boberg wrote on her Facebook page. "He worked so hard on this and then to have your principal scream at you immediately after."

"And as of now we are told, he's suspended indefinitely and he won't even meet with us until Monday," she wrote.

WATCH VIDEO

Boberg told the newspaper she wasn't sure why Bowlin ripped her boy's Gloved One gag.

The boy has performed the routine at the fundraising event for the past two years, and school officials signed off on the act during a rehearsal on Tuesday, Boberg said.

In a grainy video of the performance posted on YouTube, the crowd of grade-schoolers mostly giggle and cheer as Lenny, wearing Jackson's signature single glove, nails the King of Pop's routine from the 1983 video.

Bowlin sent an email apology to school faculty, staff and families for "one act that was clearly inappropriate.

He told the Winona Daily News that the suspension was an internal issue and plans to meet with the family on Monday.

In posts on her Facebook wall, family friends slammed the principal for going too far.

“Poor guy... You should be very proud of him, he didn't do anything wrong,” one friend wrote.

"Someone needs to moonwalk all over the principals [sic] face!!!" another supporter said.

http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02045/Jackson-620_2045703b.jpg

A High Court case is set to involve England footballer Shaun Wright-Phillips, the late pop star Michael Jackson and a convicted fraudster who claims to have created the world’s most expensive perfume.

A court showdown over an investment loan promises to cast a spotlight on the business affairs of Mr Wright-Phillips and his business partner, the designer and convicted fraudster Arfaq Hussain, also known as HRH Arfaq.

The two men are behind a company that is being sued by London-based investor Richard Dawes over the non-payment of a loan. According to legal papers, the cash was advanced to the company, HRH Kingdom Holdings, to fund the development of a “Michael Jackson perfume”.

The business plan appears to be the latest in a line of projects devised by Mr Hussain to cash in on high-value fashion, especially when that fashion has a link to Mr Jackson.

Mr Hussain claims to have had close links with the late pop star, having designed outfits for him, including the trademark gloves he wore to his concerts.

His success in designing for Mr Jackson led Mr Hussain to create V1, hailed at the time as the world’s most expensive perfume.

The perfume came in a gold-and-diamond-encrusted bottle, with each one carrying a £47,500 price tag.

When Mr Hussain was jailed for fraud in 2002, the court heard he had not sold a single bottle of V1.

In the court case, Mr Hussain was accused of taking out loans he never intended to pay back, to support the development of the V1 perfume. However, after borrowing thousands of pounds, Mr Hussain indulged in a spending spree, buying luxury cars and expensive clothes. Although he was found not guilty of the offences relating to the loans, he was jailed for falsifying documents to banks in order to get credit.

In the current case, Mr Dawes is suing HRH Kingdom Holdings for £130,000 in relation to his unpaid loans. In the legal papers, he claims that he lent the money “towards the production of the Michael Jackson perfume”.

The writ states that “despite the claimant’s repeated demands and promises from the defendant to make payments…the defendant has failed to make the repayment”.

Mr Wright-Phillips’ level of involvement with HRH Kingdom Holdings is uncertain. He is listed as a director and is a shareholder alongside Mr Hussain.

Two other companies the footballer has been involved with recently, S.E.4 Promotions and SLS Enterprises, have both been dissolved.

A spokesperson for Mr Wright-Phillips declined to comment. Mr Dawes declined to comment. Mr Hussain did not return calls.

http://static.tvguide.com/MediaBin/Content/111205/News/2_tues/111206glee1.jpg

Michael Jackson's legions of fans have major cause to celebrate today.

Similar to Season 1's Madonna tribute, the January 24 episode of Fox's Glee will feature 10-12 songs from Jackson's library. The episode is being fast-tracked in the writers' room now and is expected to begin shooting this Friday. Half of the episode will shoot before the cast breaks for the holidays, with the remaining numbers to be completed in January.

While creator Ryan Murphy has been teasing since the summer that a special spring tribute episode was in the offing, it took some convincing to assure the Jackson family that their late son/brother/father would be honored appropriately. Now, they have given their enthusiastic support.

You can get a taste of what's to come in tonight's "Sectionals" episode, which features several classic Jackson family numbers. Finn, Puck, Blaine and Mike sing "Man in the Mirror;" Tina, Kurt and Mike take the lead on The Jackson 5's "ABC;" and Artie, Blaine and Sam do their rendition of Janet Jackson's "Control." According to Ryan, the "kids" had such a fun time performing these MJ numbers, as well as "Thriller" in last year's Super Bowl episode, that he made an extra effort to seal the Jackson tribute deal before the end of 2011. Now he says the cast is flooding him with requests to sing their fave Jackson numbers.

Glee has purposely avoided such splashy episodes this season as part of a renewed commitment to focus on story over spectacle. But if there was ever a reason to break that moratorium, the songbook of Michael Jackson is probably the greatest.

http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/multimedia/dynamic/00654/5242a62c-4f24-4113-_654980t.jpg

Quincy Jones decided to forgive Michael Jackson because he didn't want the "poison to take hold"

The legendary record producer worked with the late pop superstar on his albums Off the Wall, Thriller and Bad. However, their working relationship became strained after they disagreed on several things. While making the Thriller album, Quincy believed Billie Jean was too weak to feature on the track listing - but Michael insisted on keeping it.

It has also been reported that Michael began to feel Quincy was too possessive, while Quincy believed Michael was becoming too demanding.

Quincy insists he resolved his differences with Michael before his death in 2009 and he has nothing but good things to say about the late singer.

"You know, I always deal in forgiveness and I'd forgiven Michael a long time before he died. We did some amazing work together, produced some remarkable, special records, and you can never forget that. You shouldn't," he told the March edition of GQ. "I forgive people because I expect people to do the same with me. If you don't forgive then it's a poison, and it eats you up and takes hold of you."

Quincy has fond memories of collaborating with Michael. The 78-year-old music mogul is happy to have shared so many good times with the star.

"Me and Michael had some amazing times together, unforgettable times," he smiled.

Hundreds of items from the Holmby Hills home of late pop legend Michael Jackson will be offered up for auction next month, the Associated Press reported Wednesday.

A list of the items includes the bed where Jackson died, as well as a chalkboard in the home’s kitchen where one of his children wrote, "I (heart) Daddy. SMILE, it's for free."

The chalkboard with the note is expected to fetch more than $400.

Also on the block for the Dec. 17 auction are upholstered chairs smudged with Jackson's makeup from the singer's “medication room, where evidence was collected for the trial of his personal physician, Conrad Murray.

Murray was found guilty Monday of involuntary manslaughter for providing Jackson with the powerful surgical anesthetic propofol to help him sleep as he rehearsed for his comeback.

Prince, Paris and Blanket to use sequined glove, shoes to imprint cement outside Hollywood venue

Michael Jackson's children will help honour their father's memory by impressing his hand and footprints outside Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

Organizers at the historic Hollywood venue announced that Jackson's children Prince, Paris and Blanket will take part in an upcoming ceremony honouring the King of Pop.

The young trio, who have appeared in public much more since their father's June 2009 death, will use a sequined glove and pair of shoes once owned and worn by their father to make impressions in a cement marker outside the theatre.

The date of the ceremony — January 26 — was chosen to coincide with the local debut of the Cirque du Soleil's new hit show Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour. Following its Montreal debut in October, the production is touring North America before joining the existing Cirque shows in Las Vegas.

The ceremony will mark the first posthumous print ceremony for Grauman's theatre, a popular tourist attraction that draws more than four million visitors a year, organizers said.

The theatre began awarding the honour in the late 1920s — but traditionally has celebrated film icons such as Elizabeth Taylor, Clark Gable, Mary Pickford, Marilyn Monroe and Sidney Poitier during their lifetimes.

In recent years, the venue's new owners have replaced some of the deteriorating concrete slabs with hand and footprint markers for a wider range of celebrities, including professional basketball star Kobe Bryant and dance music DJ and producer David Guetta.

Michael Jackson kids to make his footprints 'immortal'

http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/dam/assets/120106125721-prince-paris-blanket-jackson-story-top.jpg

Michael Jackson's three children will use their father's shoes and sequined glove to make handprint and footprint impressions in the concrete in front of Hollywood's renowned Grauman's Chinese Theatre this month, Jackson's estate announced Thursday.

The January 26 ceremony is part of the promotion for the Los Angeles debut of Cirque du Soleil's "Michael Jackson THE IMMORTAL World Tour."

Prince, Paris and Blanket Jackson have been more public in recent months, a contrast to their lives before their father's 2009 death when they were shielded from public view.

The children attended the premiere of the traveling Cirque du Soleil show with their grandmother, Katherine Jackson, in October.

The "Immortal" show is touring the United States and Canada through this year before taking up residency in Las Vegas.

Show biz legends who left their handprints and footprints in Grauman's concrete courtyard on Hollywood Boulevard include Fred Astaire, Elizabeth Taylor, Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe, Sidney Poitier, Clark Gable and Mary Pickford. The tradition started in 1928, just a year after the historic theater opened.

Michael Jackson's Hollywood Walk of Fame star is on the sidewalk in front of the theater.

Paris Jackson really is a chip off the old King of Pop.

In the middle of playing high school softball the 13-year-old outfielder broke out one of her late dad Michael Jackson's famous dance steps.

She's got the moves like Jackson.
