Culture: Slowly but surely, Michael Jackson’s kids becoming normal(ish)

  • They don’t have any friends. They don’t go to school, they have private lessons at home – but that will change in September, when they are due to enroll at private college.
  • Michael Jackson’s mother, Katherine Jackson • On her grandkids’ future as actual human beings who may actually have friends. The three kids – Prince, Paris and (our favorite) Blanket – plan to go to school. RIght now, they spend their days hanging around and listening to their father’s music. They have big aspirations, though – Prince wants to produce movies and Paris is musically-inclined. And we’re pretty sure none of them own llamas yet. When they’re old enough to buy one, we know where they could get one on the black market. source

Music: “Purple and Gold”: Prince fails at writing a proper team spirit song

  • The Purple One may be one of the least likely judges of what makes a good team spirit song, but Prince does know something about the color purple. The real problem with this song is that it sounds like it’s designed to be sung at church, not at a Minnesota Vikings game. Somehow, this is even stranger than the name change was back in the day. This song could seriously be the billy goat for the entire state of Minnesota. source

Culture: Prince needs new hips, but we won’t make a pun about it

  • Dude won’t get surgery due to his religion. Prince, who is now old enough that all those years of hard gyrating have caught up to him, needs to replace both of his hips due to surgery, says Showbiz411.com’s Roger Friedman. (Wait a minute! Great to see you found work after this incident, Roger!) However, he’s a Jehovah’s Witness and is refusing the surgery. So now he’s using a cane. BTW, all the puns about this story from other sources are really painful, so we avoided them – narrowly. source
