Paris Jackson begins acting career - Lundon's Bridge - Summary of the book @pg42

Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)

Michael Jackson's Daughter, Paris Jackson, Gets Movie Role : People.com

Paris Jackson is finally following her father into show business.

The 13-year-old daughter of Michael Jackson will star in the upcoming Lundon's Bridge and the Three Keys, a mixed live-action and animation movie, as a girl who survives being brainwashed by a jellyfish queen in the ocean.

Filming begins in January. Three Keys is first in a series of five Lundon O'Malley movies to which she's committed, producer Stephen Sobisky tells PEOPLE.

"She wants to be an actress," says Sobisky. "She wants to take on her dad's legacy and do something good for the world and our product does that."

He says that half the profits from the movie and book versions of the story, featuring Paris on the cover, will be donated to schools.

Paris will appear as a live-action "human character" along with animated characters voiced by Larry King and wife Shawn, Joey Fatone and The Love Boat's Ted Lange.

The release date is not set yet and the filming locations are being kept under wraps.

"She is a sweet, smart girl," says Sobisky. "Our goal is to make sure she has a fun time doing something that keeps her busy. We're a family-driven group. For me, Paris is going to be like one of my children and I'm going to protect just like I do my other three kids. We want her to enjoy this experience."

The best thing fans can do, to discourage these kids' exploitation is to not support these ventures UNTIL the age MJ had setup for them to take over his estate. Simple as that.
Personally, that's what I intend to do.

These kids are so gonna face a major backlash, I see it happening already and it will all be the Jackson's fault! Again I say, why does'nt anyone in that family care about Michael's wishes for his children????? Has Michael's history in that family not taught them anything? Is the spotlight that important to them? Its just ridiculous!

I'm done!:smilerolleyes:

Read HuffPost...it's started already.

People either cursing the family for exploiting the kids...or trashing Paris because she didn't get the role on her own merit.

lol

It will keep getting more interesting.

I am just glad MJ separated his legacy from the family and the kids, at least until they are able to be rational and make their one sound decision. He was very smart.

Smh....the way fans are treating this.... smh

Apparently, Jaden Smith didn't get your memo. LOL!

Neither did his sister, Willow. She has a record deal with Jay-Z. Can't get no better then that, in my opinion.

And even with all of that going on, you NEVER see the Smith children being overexposed.

The Jackson's will continue to do these shady type deals, because they just want to make money, by any means necessary. Case in point would be that TACKY "Michael Forever Tribute." We ALL saw how that turned out, but I bet the Jackson's got their money upfront, everybody else be damned.

Like Michael Jackson, the perfectionist, would want his daughter's first project to be with Larry King's wife, TED LANGE, and Joey Fatone. PLEASE! A bunch of has-been, no-names. LOL!

You cannot compare to jaden smith situation! It's different - They have famous , successful parents to coach and guide them. they are a powerful family in Hollywood with all the experience and connections.

I will say it again...the comments that are left at the bottom of the page after the articles are HORRENDOUS..and I hope that she does NOT read them. People are sick in the head and will say anything to try and make themselves sound funny..most of those comments read as though the people that wrote them are in kindergarten...very immature.

Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)

She barely looks like herself in the portrait
 
Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)

I wish she was at least 18. I don't see the rush for this. The truth is these kids don't have a parent. They lost that 2 years ago. I am sure Katherine loves them and they love her but she is watching over them. Do the kids follow rules, discipline or do whatever they want? I am not putting down grandmothers or anything like that. It feels like everyone in the family is watching them but not parenting them. There is a difference. The funny thing is that people said how normal the kids will have it being with Katherine after Michael died. They had more of a normal life and quiet life with their father than it seems living with the Jacksons.

I do wish her well and luck. Hopefully this will turn out positively. Paris and her brothers if they decide to go to show business will get nasty comments because Michael was their dad. It happened to him and it will happen to them. But I don't think she should have to deal with those things now.
 
Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)

Whatever happens I only wish Paris the Best in her endevours. Her dad told her to follower her dreams and be the best she can be. Yes she is young and he probably would have had her wait if he was here. But he isnt here and she doesnt need people judging or lashing out or smashing her dream of wanting to persue an acting career. She will learn and grow from each experience. through her failures and her success - but lets not be the ones who want her to fail. Regardless of how we feel about those in the background Paris is still a vunerable child probably very trusting and doesnt know the dangers yet.

She will need support one way or the other. I hope we can be there for her in the name of Michael. She isnt doing wrong .. she is following her dream .. it is those in the background the adults that need scutenised. Not her - she is a young teen. not wordly - she can be sweet she can be bratty she can coy and loveable. She has been on a wirlwind since her fathers death and She doesnt know shit from shinola yet - So Regardless of how we feel about her choices at this stage in her life Lets just love her becuase we all know for a fact Michael would want us to love her in his absense. That is one thing we know for certain.
 
Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)

I somewhat agree with you Qbee. But I will love her...by not supporting those exploiting her.

Going along with this farce, because it is her dream, isn't the best way to handle this mockery. She will have her dream 3, 4 years from now. It's not gonna disappear, because she is older and most definitely wiser.

People GOING ALONG resulted in many adults turning a blind eye to MJ's pain & him being abused by his parents. No one said anything.

The cycle needs to end somewhere.
And I would hope it ended with MJ.

that's doesnot sound bad at all.
we just have to wait and see how this turned out!
 
Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)

Because they have their new whipping post...MJ is dead, so the next best thing to them, is one or all of his children. They see that they couldn't break MJ, so his kids are their new target, as they know, that in this case, with these children under the Jacksons care, they will be sold out, given stories by "sources" i.e. family members for money. They know these children are vunerable and have no real guidance now that MJ is gone, hence them being easier to break emotionally and mentally. That's their goal: To take snipes at MJ through his children, then go after the children. They will be treated just as MJ was, and its starting now...they're being careful right now, but as soon as this movie or what not and her promoting it, they will take their gloves off, and fans have to shoulder some blame for it-they are feeding it, by giving the media what they want: to know, that MJ fans are so interested in these children, they'll give their stories clicks, and that some are so desperate to see and know everything these kids are doing, that they don't have the sense of a billy goat to look at the sinister motives behind these magazine spreads, tabloids, and the people who are writing all these stories.

So let me get it straight. You suggest that Michael's fans do not support his kids until "the kids" turn 30?

Edit*
Question - The video clip(s) and Photos we've seen via: E! Yahoo Ellen etc. - Dosen't Paris' managment have to agree to that? Like isn't this what PR is? Public Relations and Promo Promotion/Hype..? Dosen't her agents/lawyers have to 'run' this by Paris and since she's a minor her guardian? - before it's aired posted printed..?

I'm sure there are millions and millions of 13 year-old children who hear that word 10-20 times a day.

Katherine Jackson: NO, Paris, I understand your feelings, but I don't believe this is the correct project for you. End Of Story!

Seriously, who's in charge, Mrs. Jackson or the 13 year-old?

working with chilren is my passion. I started when I was a child. When you become a parent you are a parent for life, not until they reach 18 yrs,, it goes way beyound that I kept my boys busy in every sport, tutors, no tv and we spend 2 hours on home work every evening. Even though the were in high school, I would take them and pick them up from school. Always supervision. I statyed on top of them to keep the away from the low element. Children are very vunlerable they do not know everything it's important to give them a good foundation and know who their friends are and know who their friends parents are. Even rhought my sons are older they still make mistakes, suere, they have only been on this earth for 20+ years. When my son was 9 he was hide by a car and I was his histerical hw was riding his bike with his brother comin down a steep hill, he turn left on to another street and a driver was speeding and she had childre in her car in car sets , so was not watching the rode and was attending to her child whild driving doing something to the baby in her fron seat. Nsxf, shd collided with my son on his bike, knockin 15 feet in the air. He suffered facical injuries, All of his lop layer o s]his skin was scared, he teeth were all knocked outbut he survived thsnks be to god. Today he has a small scare just under his nose but he has grown a mustach to cover /it.But my point it due to that accient, he was set back in school and suffured rom PTS and he still has his bouts. He just had a birthday and he still lives with us at home, because I don't feel he is ready to be on his own.
He has his career ptarting up and in school but I still need to supervise him on certain things, and tell him to slw down, we can get that expensive on later.

One you become a parent for life. Lucily for me, I have always worked a flexable schedule incase my chil needs me, I'm out and on my way to see his needs, Now compare that to a 13 yr old is at a special time at her life when at that age they become harmonal, it's a critcal time to have a supporting mother/close adult supervision, coz things can get out of hand. Critical period is 13-16 for girls.

In my opinion, I would have her wait. Especially because shes Mike's child... she really should wait. School is wYYYYYYYYYYYY more important. The entertainment industry can be bruttle. But I hope and pray she will still be protected.

guys my eyes are not good. Should be better in a week.

love is magical said:
I don't condemn people for having opinons and expressing them. But, it becomes problematic when the opinons are perpetually bitter and angry. Many made assumptions without concrete proof. Many jumped to conclusions too quickly. For instance, we are talking about a children's film here, many make it sound like Paris is about to make some explicit sextapes. Some predict she's going to be a z-lister or on a path to failure. Some like to bring up the unrelated belt signing into the discussion. I say, wait a minute, why can't we wait and see the outcome first, especially when none of us here can change anything?

Fans are blind to our own double standard. We don't like the fact that Michael's parenting skills were criticized day in and day out. We don't like the fact that the Berlin balcony accident was being brought up repeatedly. Yet, we allow ourselves to pass judgement on Katherine's parenting skills and repeat her mistakes, just like the way people did to Michael.


And, isn't it true the Jackson name can always attract interest? Her last name will always be taken advange of. As long as people still have interest in Michael Jackson, her name will be valuable. So, again, what can she do to avoid people from taking advantage of her name, wait until someone with a bigger name than Michael Jackson to knock on the door?

I don't get it. We don't like people forming an opinion on Michael without knowing the whole story; yet, it's acceptable to form any negative opinion on Katherine without knowing the whole story? Like Pace said, I'm far from approving all fo Katherine's choices. But, I have to remind myself that I don't see the entire picture, so I can't assume she's a bad guardian.

I care about what Michael would think. I'm a Michael Jackson fan. So, I care about what he would think about his children are being raised and I also care about what he would think about his mother being judged, attacked or called names.

I agree. And I would love one day to read an article about that family that doesnt make me bang my head on the wall. When I look at the list of things we've heard from them, it's been one mistake after one stupid comment after one desperate try to sell us something stamped MJ. I dont have any hate, but yes they make me angry.
I dont confuse those kids with Michael, they are 2 separate entities for me. Michael is above everyone else. This kids are not part of him, they are separate individuals fom whom I dont expect anything. To me, they are kids, period. That's how I see them. And as many many times in my job I have to show parents how they are ruining their kids lives, even if they mean well, in this case, what the Jacksons are doing with those kids, in public, makes me really mad. And sad.
I judged Michael on many things he did in public too, and as I said there were times I didnt agree. I am not judging KJ's parenting skills, I am judging her guardianship skills. The belt thing is just one other example of it, IMO.

No one said Paris would be a failure. People expressed their concerns about a movie that looks like a Z lister. If she wants to be an actress, we dont want her to fail and to be hurt. That's not being mean, that's caring.
Of course we'll wait and see, is there anything else we can do anyway?

I dont know what Michael would think. No one can. But on the other hand, what would he thought about his kids being online without supervision, being part of the T&c of a concert, being used so his dad could sell crappy merchandise?

I checked over on the secret vault and it hasn't been updated since it posted the incorrect news that the estate settles the HTW lawsuit, so I don't think Mann is involved in this as I think he would plaster it all over the place.

I dont wish failure for Paris, I'm only disappointed that for the last two years Michael's feelings don't appear to be taken into account, this is simply another example. Im not going to support something just because of a last name, it has to be on it's own merit otherwise we are not being fair to them.

@ivy It does say on that statement that she is committed to five movies.
 
Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)

I'm a MJ fan. His kids can do music, be a doctor or a pastry chef or a electrician I'll not support them because I'm not fan of them.

 
Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)

committed to 5? What if she isn't going to be into the other movies once she finishes 2 or 3? What if she changes her mind? These children are going to end up being sued left and right just like the folks raising them.
 
Re: Paris Jackson to appear on Ellen - December 8th (Begins acting career)

FIVE movies! Paris is committed to 5 movies?! Who in their right minds commits their child to such a long-term enterprise - unless it's harry potter, which this book series most certainly is not. This project just seems to be sounding worse with every bit of new information. So if the first movie isn't a success she will be sued if she wants to end the contract? And if they're giving half the gross profits to schools, how on earth are they going to attract investors? It the movie doesn't do well, half the ticket sales will not be available to shore up the losses. It all sounds nuts.


Yes, i guess doing 5 movies would be 'keeping her busy', but how busy does a 13 yr old have to be. She's going to be controlling with her brothers a multli-billion estate, i'm thinking a focus on education would be a good move for now. And what type of experience will this 5 film franchise be for paris - the only human actress in an animation, acting on her own in front of a blue screeen with a bunch of unknown film makers - who is she going to be learning from, getting inspiration from, there'll be no interacting with other experienced actors. It looks like from all the info about it, llike a really really bad choice for paris - and for that you have to blame her guardian.

Yes. And I feel that the two (Lourdes and Paris) will be competitors. :fear: Lourdes wants to be an actress and is studying for this and she makes a little participation in the movie directed by Madonna, W.E. Let's see.... :fear:

And I bet you anything she's going to have a heavenly launch, under her mama's guidance. Lourdes studying acting speaks volumes to me, rather than jumping on it for sake of it.

And it's all the Jackson's fault. It's Katherine's fault, I don't blame a 13 year old for wanting to be an actress, for wanting to be famous, for wanting to become a star, especially considering what happened to in the last two years, they went from unknown to being plastered everywhere, this kind of fame does get to one's head, especially to a young teen's. And it's the adults job to

a) prevent that happening
b) make sure the kid waits even if he/she doesn't want to.

Paris is the child, while Katherine is the adult period.

I wish her nothing but well, adnd I truly hope she has a rhinoceros skin. Dealing with idiots on Twitter is one thing, and being publicly scrutinized by the media a whole other.

If that happens, she would probably not get sued because she's 13. Her legal guardian might however!
