Prince Jackson steps into public spotlight

  • Prince Jackson steps into public spotlight



    Los Angeles (CNN) --
    Michael Jackson's oldest son, Prince, takes another step into the public eye this week
    with his first commercial endorsement.

    Prince Jackson, 14, revealed in an interview that while he can't sing or dance like his father,
    he wants to be a television and movie actor. He has previously said he wanted to be a director.

    While some Jackson fans may object, saying Prince Jackson is too young to be involved in an
    endorsement, the lawyer for grandmother Katherine Jackson said steps are being taken to
    "make sure that going forward everything with the children is done by the book."

    Prince isn't doing it for the money, but as a favor for his uncles, the four surviving original
    members of the Jackson 5 group that featured his father.

    None of the marketing materials for the jackets includes Prince's name or image, but he did join
    Jackie, Marlon and Tito Jackson recently when they autographed 1,000 replicas of Michael
    Jackson's "Beat It" and "Thriller" leather jackets. Jermaine Jackson also signed the jackets, which go on sale Thursday through Amazon.com.

    The J5 Collection, which is based on the styles of the Jackson 5, will introduce Michael
    Jackson's style "to a new generation," Prince Jackson told CNN.

    He might wear them to "dress up parties," he said. "It's not casual, but it's nice to wear to
    events."
    Prince Jackson, who's about 5-foot-10, is showing signs of a young man who is ready
    to make his own mark on the world.

    Jackson's three children -- Prince, Paris and Blanket -- were famously sheltered from public
    view until their father's death on June 25th, 2009. It wasn't until the pop icon's memorial
    service that the world got a close look at them.

    Paris, now 13, spoke for her brothers then, saying her "daddy has been the best father
    you could ever imagine."

    Prince Jackson spoke up on the Grammys stage in February 2010 when he accepted his father's
    lifetime achievement award.

    "To all his songs, his message was simple, love," then-12-year-old Prince said.
    "We will continue to spread his message and help the world."

    Since then, Prince talked briefly to Oprah Winfrey when she visited his home last year
    to interview grandparents Joe and Katherine Jackson.

    Prince also walked a red carpet and answered a few questions from reporters during a
    recent trip to Germany to accept an award to his father.

    He smiled broadly and appeared confident on stage at the tribute show to his father in Wales
    last month when he introduced Beyonce's song.

    Prince said he's hoping to travel with Jackie, Tito and Marlon Jackson when they perform
    shows in Japan next month. The plan is to have Prince introduce his uncles on stage,
    Marlon Jackson said.

    Perry Sanders, the lawyer for Katherine Jackson, said Prince has indicated he is determined
    to make his own money, even though he will inherit many millions from his father's estate.

    Taking care to make the right decisions about what deals to accept and what to reject is crucial to protecting his brand as the eldest son of the King of Pop, he said.

    His uncles asked Prince to support the "Thriller" and "Beat It" jacket sales, a line that is
    authorized by the executors of the Michael Jackson estate.

    "These limited quantity collector's items are exact replicas of the iconic originals and were
    created by the original designer of the jackets," according to a news release.

    Michael Jackson debuted the red "Beat It" and red and black "Thriller" jackets, designed by
    Marc Laurent, in 1983. The Jackson brothers signed 500 of each jacket, which will sell for $2,350.

  • So, da wird Prince also jetzt für die Jackson4 promoten


    das waren ziemlich genau auch meine gedanken....
    man hat die kids ganz schön schon gebrainwashed-
    dafür dass mike quasi nie kontakt mit dem haufen überflüssiger reste-rampen-jacksons hatte, die sich seine brüder und schwestern schimpfen,
    dafür hat man echt fix dafür gesorgt, dass die kids sie für wichtig und toll und ihre 'familie' halten..


    ich denke nicht, dass mike das sehr begeistert hätte, wenn die kids für solchen promo zirkus seiner familie hätten herhalten müssten, wenn er noch lebte.
    aber wie günstig...man muss ihn ja nicht um erlaubnis fragen, man hat ja erziehungsgewalt, und man hat natürlich viiieeel zeit zum manipulieren.
    :eklig

  • Prince wirkt nicht wirklich kooperativ. Keine Ahnung was die da machen, aber er fläzt sich da mit Ohrstöpseln in den Ohren, genau wie bei dem Interview (im amerik. Frühstücksfernsehen), als sie für diese Kindertagesstätte oder was das war gespendet haben. Ohne offensichtliche Kamera waren sie supernette Kinder, aber im Interview hat man ihnen den Unwillen angemerkt. So ähnlich wirkt Prince hier auch auf mich. Wenn ich da nicht zu viel hineininterpretiere fänd ich's natürlich nicht schlecht :)

  • ^ prince wirkt total desinteressiert und gelangweilt :bla :laberlaber


    Mir gefällt's ;) Wir wissen ja, dass er anders kann, wenn er hinter einer Aktion steht. Vielleicht nicht mehr lange und die Großen verweigern sich dem Affenzirkus (der Kleine tut's schon ja schon immer unbewusst). Schön wärs, wenn sie sie nicht ganz unter Kontrolle bekämen.

  • Wann sind die Kinder endlich volljährig, damit sie selber entscheiden können, was sie tun und lassen wollen. Ich hoffe, dass sie ganz bald mit der Schule fertig sind und dann studieren wollen - in einem anderen Staat, vielleicht in einem anderen Land weit weg von der "Familie"... man man man... bei der Familie braucht man keine Feinde mehr... :sad


    Ist das ein Haufen Vollidioten. Und mittendrin Michaels Kinder.... :never
