Culture: Michael Jackson’s mom hits Oprah for first interview since his death

  • Why didn’t he take care of my child? Why did he give that [propofol] to him? It’s very dangerous; why did he do it? … I can’t accuse him of murder. I don’t know if it was accidentally done or it was intentionally done. I don’t want to get into that, but I have my thoughts.
  • Michael Jackson’s mom, Katherine • Explaining her feelings on Conrad Murray, the guy who administered the drugs that killed her ultra-famous son. Jackson was talking to Oprah today in her first interview since Jackson’s death, and the pop star’s kids were with her, too. She’s raising Paris, Prince Michael and Blanket, and didn’t like the way that her son was hiding them away from public view. Now, the trio is going to normal schools and living a relatively normal life. Hopefully they grow up to be a little less messed up than their father became. source

Cats!: Blanket-chewing kitties always warm our hearts

  • Catstravaganza is a worldwide affair. And to that effect, one of our most passionate regular readers, @khakhov, sent along some particularly cute kitty photos from the island of Mauritius. We have to admit, anytime a cat chews on a blanket, it melts our hearts and makes us feel a bit too cheery inside:
  • A pretty tasty snack There are many awesome things about this photo – the claws, the chewing – but our favorite is the ultra-colorful eyes.
  • Some pretty serious navel-gazing “Look at that serious little upside-down face,” @khakhov tells us. That’s only one part of what makes this photo cool. We dig the disorientation.
  • Editor’s note: An earlier version of this article listed somewhere else as the home point for this wonderful cat. Sorry about that. We owe Khadeja an apology. We swear it won’t happen again! 🙁

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
