LaToya Jackson says the children of her late brother Michael Jackson have been in therapy since the death of their father in June.

In an interview with British newspaper The Mirror, LaToya says that Prince, 12, Paris, 11 and Prince Michael II, 7 (a.k.a. Blanket) are each dealing with their father’s death in very different ways.

Paris wears her father’s shirts every day, has covered her bedroom in Michael Jackson posters, watches old videotapes of him and is upset that she never got to see him perform live, according to LaToya. “Paris thinks and writes about her father all the time. She’s doing very well,” she told The Mirror.

Prince, on the other hand, refuses to watch any of his dad’s performances, according to LaToya. She said the pre-teen “just doesn’t want to speak about it. He won’t even watch the DVDs…it’s too soon.”

“Blanket is just a very sad, shy little boy. He cries — he really does cry. It’s so painful for him,” La Toya said. “They all go to therapy and I truly hope Prince especially will be able to open up.”

All three children are being home-schooled in Los Angeles. (via Eurweb)

Paris Jackson was spotted shopping in Vegas over the weekend. According to people.com, Prince Michael I, 12, Paris, 11, and Prince Michael II (a.k.a. “Blanket”), 7, were spotted at the Palms Casino Resort’s pool sipping on virgin strawberry-banana daiquiri’s on Sunday. They, along with three friends, dunked each other in the pool and swam around for more than two hours. Blanket, wearing a life preserver, even showed some of his moves, dancing on the edge of the pool before jumping in the water.

Katherine Jackson kept a close eye, accompanied by a friend and nanny, and smiled over the pool-side antics.

Janet Jackson to write tell-all book

British child star Mark Lester says he’s the father of Michael Jackson’s daughter, Paris. According to tmz.com, the godfather of Michael Jackson’s three kids says he “could be” the father of Michael Jackson’s daughter, Paris .. and it sounds like he may be waging a legal fight.

Mark Lester — a longtime friend of Jackson’s — says M.J. asked him if he would donate sperm during the time the singer was married to Debbie Rowe. He says a London clinic contacted him and he obliged with the donation.

Lester claims there’s an uncanny resemblance between his 15-year-old-daughter Harriet and Paris.

Lester, who spoke with News of the World, says he is willing to take a paternity test.

Lester says he has “concerns about the welfare and upbringing of the children.” Lester says he does not currently have contact with Jackson’s three kids and it’s “heartbreaking.”

Jackson and Lester were friends for more than 25 years and he reportedly spent the day with the Jackson kids after their father’s memorial service last month.
