Prince and Paris Jackson Speak Out For Their Grandma After She Loses Custody, Talk About Coup From Janet and Rebbie

With all the drama surrounding the Jackson family over the past week, most specifically concerning the guardianship over Michael’s children, we now have word on what the kids, themselves, feel.  And apparently, they side with grandma.

Early this morning, Paris Jackson tweeted her excitement that her rightful guardian had returned, writing: “grandma’s here! (hash)thankyougod.”

Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff removed Katherine as the kids’ rightful guardian because she was in Arizona and hadn’t spoken with them in several days.  Her grandson, Tito Joe “TJ” Jackson, was named as temporary caretaker in her absence.

But now, many conflicting reports are leading us all to wonder, what exactly is going on?

Reading from a prepared statement, Katherine told ABC News that the court ruling to remove her as guardian was “based on a bunch of lies”:

“I am devastated that while I’ve been away, that my children, my grandchildren, have been taken away from me, and I’m coming home to see about that, also.”

She also denied the suggestion made in court that she was being held against her will by her children:

“I am here today to let everybody know that I am fine and I am here with my children, and my children would never do a thing to me like that, holding me against my will,” she said while her children Randy, Janet and Rebbie were seated next to her. “It’s very stupid for people to think that.”

However, many feel like that statement was forced, a notion seemingly confirmed by a photo posted today by Michael’s eldest son, Prince of a supposed group text message in which Prince demands to contact his grandmother, and Janet allegedly responds: “Please don’t let them.”  Prince tweeted:

“As long as I can remember my dad repeatedly warned me of certain people and their ways…Although I am happy my grandma was returned, after speaking with her I realize how misguided and how badly she was lied to. I ‘m really angry and hurt.”

Beckloff said there was no evidence that Katherine Jackson had done anything wrong but it did appear that she was being prevented from fulfilling her role as guardian through the “intentional acts of third parties.”

TJ Jackson acted to get guardianship of his three cousins after feeling that Katherine was being prevented from returning, citing a Monday incident in which Janet, Randy and Jermaine Jackson arrived at the children’s home and told them they could speak with their grandmother but had to leave with them.  He wrote in a sworn statement:

“This was odd and disturbing to me and (the children) and heightened our concern that our grandmother was being prohibited from returning home.”

Katherine Jackson’s attorney, Perry Sanders Jr, plans to ask the court to reinstate her as guardian of the children as early as today.

This video will remind you of two things: Nick Lachey is actually a gifted singer. And at age 46 he is still quaran-FINE!

Picture it. The year is 1998 and the boy band craze is at its peak. You turn on the radio. Your ears perk up as you hear the four beautiful men of 98 Degrees sing about the torture of having to let down their side pieces so they can try to be true to the girlfriends that love them. The word “coronavirus” has never even been uttered. It was a simpler time.

Fast forward to 2020 when it seems like you can’t turn on the tv without some sort of news break interrupting your scheduled programming to warn you about the latest dangers of the viral pandemic. With the spread of the virus ever growing, celebrities have been taking to social media to urge fans to isolate themselves so we can all stay safe and healthy. Nick Lachey, 98 Degrees heartthrob and host of the new dating show Love Is Blind, is the latest Hollywood star to jump on this bandwagon.

Lachey took to Instagram to debut his updated rendition of “The Hardest Thing,” the boy band’s certified gold single. “Yeah, it’s the hardest thing we’ve ever had to do. To stay stuck in our house, just watching all this bad news. It’s the hardest thing we’ve ever had to try. To stay six feet apart when we go outside,” the blue eyed beaut sings. “Nothing to do, no sports on TV. Washed my hands so much that they started to bleed. Damn this quarantine. It’s the hardest thing we’ve ever had to do. But in the end it’s worth it. Together we will get through” he continues. The video ends with Lachey reminding fans to stay safe before being jumped on by his enthusiastically adorable son.

Danny DeVito Passionately Urges New Yorkers To Stay Home…And Twitter Agrees!

For the love of Danny DeVito, stay home!

The world is in a dark place right now and I am not sure how much more bad news we can handle. That’s why when I saw Danny DeVito’s name trending on Twitter I froze. Our great nation could very well crumble if anything bad was to happen to such an icon right now. With extreme trepidation I clicked on the social media link and was relieved to see that good ol’ Danny boy is just strumming up hype because he is passionately urging New Yorkers to stay home.

Amid the coronavirus outbreak, Governor Andrew Cuomo has been driving New Yorkers to stay home and has taken every precaution short of shutting the state down completely to help prevent the virus from spreading. Because New Yorkers can be hard headed, it doesn’t hurt to have some famous friends reiterate your message. Big names like Lala Anthony, Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller have all made appearances on Cuomo’s social media pleading with New Yorker’s to heed the governors warning. Only one celebrity was able to make it to Twitter’s trending page however and that was none other than Danny DeVito. DeVito’s message is simple…stay home! In the two minute video, DeVito reminds fans that it’s not just up to the elderly to isolate themselves. “Young people can get it and they can transmit it to old people and the next thing you know – I’m out of there” says the actor. We must save him!

Twitter went into a frenzy with many users agreeing that we need to stay home for Danny. One user wrote “When Danny speaks, I listen.” Another passionately wrote “If you idiots kill Danny DeVito I SWEAR TO GOD.” One promoted DeVito from the icon status I previously awarded him and said “WE GOTTA PROTECT WORLD TREASURE DANNY DeVITO.” 

Take a look at the video below and for the love of the newly minted national treasure, stay home!

Amy Adams Has Finally Joined Instagram And She Is Melting Our Hearts!

The world has endured raging brushfires, rising floodwaters and a viral pandemic…and that’s just in these three short months of 2020. From every devastation, however, a hero emerges…and today that hero is Amy Adams.

Amy Adams has finally joined Instagram and not just to post selfies or pictures of her dog…although a cute dog pic can definitely brighten anyone’s day! Instead, Amy has joined Instagram to partner with her friend, Jennifer Garner, on Save With Stories, a place to watch celebrities read children’s stories. The goal from these posts is to attract donations to raise funds for Save The Children and Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry. Amy outlines how the donations will  “make sure that families know how to find meals when schools are closed, support mobile meal trucks, food banks and other community feeding programs, provide educational toys, books and worksheets, and support out-of-school-time programs to help kids make up for lost time in the classroom.” These efforts are especially needed right now as school closures can affect nearly thirty-million children.

In the nearly 8-minute video, Amy reads The Dinosaur Princess, a story written by her daughter Aviana Olea Le Gallo. Amy also flashes pages from the story which are artfully illustrated by her husband, David Le Gallo. I hope melting of the heart is not a symptom of the coronavirus because mine is officially a puddle!

I am all for being social media positive while being socially distant! Check out Amy’s first Instagram post below!
