Is Michael Jackson's son suffering from the same skin condition as the King of Pop?

Michael Jackson always maintained he was blighted by a rare skin disease called vitiligo.
And it seems his eldest son, Prince Michael may be suffering from the same problem.
The 13-year-old revealed white patches under his arm while on a recent holiday to Hawaii with his siblings Paris, 12 and Prince Michael II, eight.

While there is the possibility it was the result of sun exposure, it appeared more dramatic than peeling skin.
Vitiligo is a hereditary skin condition which discolours the face and body.
Jackson, who died last year at the age of 50, blamed the disease for the gradual lightening of his own skin over the years.

His claim was always met with some scepticism from critics, who accused him of intentionally bleaching his skin.


Like father, like son? There is speculation the 13-year-old, pictured here with sister Paris, is suffering from vitiligo


Now that Prince Michael is showing signs of similar symptoms, some are convinced it is evidence Jackson really WAS the teen's biological parent.
For years the paternity of Jacksonn's children has been under question because of the difference in skin tone.

But a family source is quoted as telling American tabloid The Globe: 'It proves once and for all that Michael is the father!'

Prince Michael and his sister Paris were born to Debbie Rowe, Michael's wife from 1996 to 1999.
Prince Michael II, also known as Blanket, was born to an unknown surrogate after the divorce.

Funny how he was born with MJ's artificial clef. I don't buy it 2 seconds that this guy is his son. No way.

Now, I think the one video where he looked drop dead sexy was They Don't Care About Us, the Brazil version, not the prison video, and I think that's because it was about the only time we saw him in blue jeans and a T-shirt...and it was the only time after his overall color went from black to white that he had an open shirt and we could see the dark color on his chest. He spent so much time in dress pants, and long sleeves, and it was a look that worked for him, but it's sexier and more appealing when you just look casual, at least it did with him anyway.

UMo wrote:When did Michael look his best to you? I know we're supposed to laud the dark chocolate Michael that existed up until around "We Are The World," but personally I think he looked his best during his Puerto Rican Bad era.

He was considerably lighter, but wasn't as transparent as he'd become later on.

Katherine Jackson's Lawyer Goes After Joe Jackson
Originally posted Jun 13th 2010 8:37 PM PDT by TMZ Staff

Joe Jackson's cruel attack -- that his wife, Katherine, is responsible for Michael's death, is but the latest in a rich history of reckless, untrue comments ... so says Katherine's lawyer and the lawyer for Michael Jackson's estate.



Katherine is not commenting on what amounts to her husband's declaration of war -- that she refused to "keep [Michael] cheered up" because she didn't want to invade his privacy, and he'd be alive today if she had.

Katherine's lawyer, Adam Streisand, tells TMZ, "The world knows that Mrs. Jackson has always been a loving mother and grandmother, and that she and Michael had a very special relationship." Streisand then drives it home: "The world also knows who Joe Jackson is and he seems bent on never letting us forget."

Howard Weitzman, lawyer for the Michael Jackson estate, tells TMZ, "The inference by Joe Jackson that Mrs. Jackson was in any way responsible for Michael's death is preposterous. Katherine Jackson was a supportive and loving mother throughout Michael's life. His love and respect for her is reflected in his estate plan." Ouch ... and true.

Now here's how Joe may have screwed himself. He's not included in Michael's will and no matter how hard he tries to invalidate the will, he's going to end up with nothing in that department. The chances of Joe getting a court-approved allowance from the estate are slim to none. And Joe is trying to exploit Michael's name to make money, but his unauthorized attempts have pretty much been shut down by the estate.

So the only thing Joe has been able to rely on ... Katherine's generosity in the money department. Looks like that gravy train may have finally left the station.
