Michael Jackson’s Son Prince, Snake Charmer, On School Trip to Cuba

This is not Snakes on a Plane 2: Michael Jackson traveled all over the
planet but he never visited Cuba. So now his son, Michael Joseph
Jackson, Jr., aka Prince, gets the chance. Prince sent out an
Instagram selfie holding plane tickets to Cuba. He left on Friday with
his school group from the Buckley School in Los Angeles. Yes, that is
correct. I think when I was 17 our school trips were to the Statue of
Liberty and the PT Barnum Museum. We have stopped at McDonald’s.
But times change!
Prince also has become something of a snake charmer. According to
his Twitter account, the son of Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe is
raising snakes at his family home in Calabasas, California. The snakes
are named Sparta and Athens, and they live in a cage Prince built for
them himself. According to my source: “Basically Prince was raised in
a zoo– Neverland– so now he’s got all kinds of animals. Katherine
[Jackson, his grandmother], isn’t crazy about the idea.”
As for Paris Jackson, although she makes trips home on breaks, it
does look like she’s going to stay at her boarding school in Utah until
she graduates from high school. Last June she tried to commit suicide,
and eventually was sent to the school. My source says she doesn’t like
it, but Mrs. Jackson “is afraid to bring her home.” In any case, Paris
appeared in a couple of photos on Prince’s account recently and
looked very happy.
Meantime, two books are coming in June around the time of the 5th
anniversary of Michael’s death. One of them purports to deal with
Michael’s finances after his 2005 and then really touts the executors
of his estate as miracle workers. (The Jackson fans will probably
boycott that one.) The other is by two bodyguards who were with
Michael post-trial for a couple of years, but not with him when he
died.
One last piece of Jacksonian trivia: Majestik the Magnificent, the
Jackson family friend and personal magician, has been quite ill. He
just posted– or someone posted for him on Facebook– an update. But
I’m told he’s been hospitalized for some time, possibly thanks to a
brain tumor that immobilized him. Majestik had been staying at the
original Jackson home, Hayvenhurst, thanks to the largesse of
Katherine Jackson. Everyone wishes him a speedy recovery.
