This artlcle had me spitting; especially this sentence:
'As the children’s guardian, mama Katherine Jackson could get a second life managing another generation of Jackson spawn'.
Looks like it is 'open season' on Michael's children now.
What Will Michael Jackson's Family Do Now That the Trial Is Over?
Published November 08, 2011 FoxNews.co
After 866 days of waiting for the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray to come to an end, the family of Michael Jackson could finally let out their collective breaths Monday when Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter. The trial has dominated the family’s collective consciousness and energies since the pop star passed away in June of 2009.
But today, on day 867, what do they do? Jackson’s parents, brothers, sisters, children are all now free to live normal lives, away from the media microscope of the trial.
But can they?
"For the family members, I think it is their time for a bit of closure and of coming to terms with it all. They haven't really had a proper time to grieve, and I think you will see them finally mourn the loss of their brother with some closure now," Ian Halperin, author of "Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson" and the director of the Jackson documentary "Gone Too Soon," tells Fox411.com.
Of course experts say that the Jackson family, abnormal prior to the singer’s death, enjoying any kind of normal life is highly unlikely. Halperin says he expects to see a much more public presence for the children and to see at least one of them pursuing a career in entertainment. Tabloid reports are already confirming that is the direction the children are taking.
“Some may think Michael Jackson's three children should go back into hiding now that a verdict has been reached in the Conrad Murray trial, but In Touch recently reported that the Jackson clan may take the opposite approach. A source said the children have been mulling over an offer to have their own reality show,” In Touch Weekly Senior Editor Dorothy Cascerceri told Fox411. “After living their lives under the guise of Mardi Gras masks for so long, this could be a risky choice, but it may not even be their decision to make. The decision will most likely come down to their grandmother's discretion, but there are whispers that the children are intrigued by the idea. Maybe now that Michael is gone, they are embracing their inner performers and by taking the stage, they can continue their father's legacy and preserve his memory forever."
As the children’s guardian, mama Katherine Jackson could get a second life managing another generation of Jackson spawn.
And what of the siblings? Jackson’s sisters La Toya, who yelled “Yes” as the verdict was being read, and Rebbie were the first to speak out about their feelings on Conrad Murray’s conviction.
La Toya announced, "Victory was served." Rebbie added, "I'm just happy it's over with. Nothing will bring him back, but I'm just happy he (Murray) was found guilty."
La Toya too is unlikely to go quietly into that good night.
“LaToya is doing a good job of keeping herself in the reality show public eye (“Celebrity Apprentice”
and her tell all book, so she will go the way of any reality star who breathes life into their career with appearances and celebrity boxing matches,” “Cult of Celebrity” author Cooper Lawrence told Fox411.
Janet, the only Jackson sibling with true fame to match her brother’s has stayed in the spotlight through her films (“Why Did I Get Married Too?” and “For Colored Girls” and her current world tour. Janet is also the only sibling whose livelihood didn’t depend one way or another on what happened in the courtroom this week. For Janet at least, life will likely carry on as before the trial. She can focus on her own career and not be bombarded with queries about how her brother died.
And now that the stigma of suicide is lifted from Jackson’s post-mortem brand, everyone who was close to the King of Pop can cash in handily, which means Michael’s ghost will really never stop haunting this family.
“My prediction is that his best friend Brett Ratner will put out an ‘unseen MJ footage’ kind of film and then the family will have to deal with the resurgence of interest in his music likeness, merchandise, etc.,” Lawrence said.
