Michael Jackson’s Kid: Paris Jackson and Birth Mother, Debbie Rowe: Reunited!

Michael Jackson's daughter Paris Jackson has secretly and surprisingly reestablished ties with her birth mother, Debbie Rowe, according to a TMZ report.

Paris, who turned 15, spent the day with Debbie Rowe, who was married to MJ and is mother to Paris and Prince Michael.

Their younger brother Blanket was born to an unknown surrogate.

A source says, "The two just hung out. They've gotten really tight."

This is unexpected, not because of any ill will or singular incident, but because Debbie signed her full parental rights away to Michael Jackson in 2001.

The couple divorced when Paris was three, and she's had virtually no contact with her birth mother since. That is, until Paris Jackson reached out this year.

Paris and Debbie have gotten together a number of times recently, and have really established a strong relationship over the last couple of months.

Debbie has gone out of her way to keep the meetings secret because she doesn't want to create an appearance that she's exploiting their relationship.

Rowe doesn't want even the mere suggestion that she is in this for the money ... she just wants to get to know her daughter as much as Paris wants.

How un-scandalous and nice this that?

Jackson Trial: Family 'Seeks $40bn' From AEG

Michael Jackson's family is taking the promoter (AEG Live) of his ill-fated comeback tour to court, reportedly claiming tens of billions of dollars.

The civil proceedings in Los Angeles will focus on the Jacksons' claim the company was guilty of the "negligent hiring" of Dr Conrad Murray, the physician now in prison for killing Jackson.

One of the headlines in the US promises that this will be "The Wildest Jackson Trial Yet" - as the life and death of the King Of Pop is about to get another airing in court.

Jackson's mother Katherine and children are believed to be seeking $40bn, including £7.5bn loss of future earnings - figures which are staggering even to seasoned US legal analysts.

As the court begins the task of selecting jurors for a trial that could last nine weeks, the media war between the two sides has stepped up a notch.

The Jackson family were already thought to be planning to call the star's 16-year-old son Prince to give evidence. The teenager is expected to testify about witnessing his father's last moments.

Now we hear that another Prince, the pop star of that name, could also be called by the Jacksons to testify about his experiences with AEG.

Already many of the emails the Jacksons will rely on in court - electronic conversations between senior figures at AEG - have been leaked to the media.

It is understood AEG will argue  they were not responsible for Murray or what happened to Jackson.

As part of their evidence, the judge has ruled they can bring up details of Jackson's child molestation trial.

It has been reported they will also seek to show that the star had drug issues well before he met Murray.

Murray himself is said to have refused to give evidence in the case while his own appeal against conviction is ongoing.

One of the most significant moments will come before the trial even starts: the judge Yvette Palazuelous will rule on an application for live television cameras to be in court.

They point to the massive global television interest in the trial of Murray and the importance of the public seeing justice at work.

Her ruling is eagerly awaited by the media and by Jackson's millions of fans around the world, many of whom have lingering questions about his death.

PARIS JACKSON I've Got Spirit ... I'm FREE SPIRIT!

One minute she's a football player ... the next, Paris Jackson is pom-pomming her face off on her prep school's cheerleading squad ... another sign MJ's daughter is as free a spirit as he was. 

Paris -- sporting a short new 'do -- hit the hardwood and rooted on the Buckley School basketball team in L.A. yesterday ... while hamming it up for the cameras.

It's just the latest predictably unpredictable move for the 14-year-old ... who was just playing for the school's flag football team in 2011 -- she's kinda like "Icebox" from "Little Giants" ... only WAYY more bad ass. 


Besides the sports, Jackson is also an aspiring actress ... political activist ... model ... and Bieber-enthusiast.

Funny, Michael spent so much time trying to keep his children out of the spotlight ... but now, it seems she's reveling in it.
