Jackson Kids Had a Baller Thanksgiving

The Jackson family didn't spend Thanksgiving eating stuffing -- instead MJ's kids spent the holiday stuffing a basketball into a hoop in a $25,000-per-night super suite at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas.

A member of the fam posted footage of the night on YouTube, showing Prince playing around with Randy and Jermaine Jackson's kids in the biggest hotel suite we've ever seen -- complete with its own basketball court.

As Jehovah's Witnesses, the Jackson family doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving in the traditional sense. Instead, we're told the Jacksons had a big family dinner a few days before the holiday.

Now that doesn't look like a hotel suite to me, it looks more like a location where programs like in example Big Brother and Groomer Has it are recorded.

  • It looks like a BB house to me, too. <!-- s:shock: -->:shock:<!-- s:shock: -->
  • I have to admit I felt uncomfortable watching this. Its very private and its the first time Ive seen any of the Jacksons leak info of themselves online. First of all the hotel suit is absolutely ridiculous in size and second of all they make themselves look really bad and use bad language calling themselves ''nigger'' in a degrading way and the way they show off how much money they got (for being KIDS!) makes them look really superficial. Blanket is heard in the background and Prince is the one in blue shorts playing basketball.

    I hope these kids dont turn into money hungry monsters. <!-- s:( -->:(<!-- s:( -->

    I didn't see Prince. How sad. When I see things like this I begin to lose hope. Do you think he would allow this if he were alive? I feel sorry for those kids.
  • Doesn't really surprise me at all as some teenagers are monsters now, I hear the language of kids nowadays and they are using words I didn't even know when I was that age. Michaels kids are mixing with their cousins now so I guess anything is possible and lets not forget that although Michael sheltered them really well from any kind of bad influence how much longer could he have sheltered them-especially Prince and Paris now they are older? Kids grow up too quickly now, society has made it that way, sad but a cold hard fact. Kids always rebel from parents anyway-even the most polite well behaved ones-I have seen it with my friends/family and the sweetest most polite children once they hit teens are for a few years are unfit for the human race! If you have ever watched the Harry Enfield show Kevin and Perry are typical teenagers. Don't expect them to be little angels as kids are usually on their best behaviour in front of a parent/grandparent anyway.
    Also Michael and Janet were brought up with Jermaine and LaToya and look at the difference in them all? just because one person has very humanitarian and the sweetest qualities doesn't mean to say other family members will have. I am not knocking the kids but how many kids born to really famous wealthy parents in LA are there who turn out well adjusted, unspoiled and not needing therapy? I don't really think they stand a chance surrounded by people in a false materialistic environment in the part of the world they are living in as their Father didn't either. Lets hope that he is far far away and they will soon be joining him.
  • Yeah that was a bit discouraging to see. They acted like they'd never been in a place like that before. Maybe they haven't. Wonder whose money is being used to pay for all of that!
  • Omg that is sad!! Where is the video at? I hope they dont turn out bad, he tried hard it seems like to atleast keep them well grounded.

    maybe I´m blind, but I don´t see Prince or Blanket...

    Yes, you're right, teenagers can get ugly. But I think if MJ were around things would be different. Remember that Dave Dave said our first thoughts should be with his children. Can you just imagine what a shock it must be for them? Having MJ as your dad and now.......I can't bear to think about it, it is too sad. I hope he is still around.

    well i didnt see mj <!-- s:lol: -->:lol:<!-- s:lol: -->
  • I've given it some time on whether I should post my thoughts or not, but I'm going to do it anyway...

    I have posted this video with this comment:

    The majority of replies are comments on the subjects of the video - the kids - the emotional aspect.

    Earlier this week I posted a reply to this photo:

    105145_michael-jackson-models-part-of-his-opening-number-costume-in-this-zaldy-this-is-it-design.jpg

    My reply was:
    What's that on the t-shirt? A map..? A stage plan..?

    Again the majority of replies were comments on the subject of the photo - Michael - the emotional subject.

    To me the location of where the video was taken and the drawing on the t-shirt stood out more than anything else. Apparently I'm one of the very few who's attention was drawn to this, so my question is:

    Am I seeing ghosts, or would it be a good idea to try to get less emotional involved when looking at things?

    I hope I'm not offending anyone, that is the last thing I want to do, these are just my thoughts...

    You're right.
  • Indeed interesting post. <!-- s:idea: -->:idea:<!-- s:idea: -->
  • Well honestly after watching the video I am only left with a lot of questions really..
    1. Who are they staying with there? (The brothers are out there doing interviews?)
    2. Why did they tape this and put it on youtube and for who really? (It's not that shocking to share with the world)
    3. Again Tmz, why would TMZ put this up, this isn't news worthy is it? Especially since you can barely see Michael's kids and no offense but I think it is pretty clear that the media is mostly just interested in them.
    4. Who paid for a suite like that? (Like seriously, I think MIchael is the only one who had that kind of money)

    Honestly one of the first thoughts that popped in my head after watching it was if Michael is actually staying there with them and this is like some kind of teaser or ''let's see who gets it'' kind of thing.
    I don't know maybe it's the too much time spend on this site talking <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->

  • I thought Prince was there playing basketball? And kept shouting, "noooooooo, you suck!" ? And Blanket was there playing his Mario game? I heard *Mario dies* then someone shouted "NO!" <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->
  • I did a google search on posh hotels, and based on what was said on the Video i think it may be the Las vegas one, it features a half size basketball court in the suite.

    Far too risky wouldn't you think? Cannot imagine it at all myself and it would be totally foolhardy and illogical.
    If all the sightings/assumptions are correct then he is out and about more than when he was "alive"!

  • I don't see Michael's kids here anywhere.

    This doesn't look like suite, too big ... and if it is ...who is paying for this?

    I absolutely agree with Mo.

    I dont know, but a few weeks ago we learned that the Jackson family would host the first Christmas for Michael's children...and now TMZ says they dont or didn't celebrate the holiday that usually marks the beginning of the Christmas season?

    I don't think it's that private or else the kid wouldn't have uploaded it. I am sure he realizes that once a video is uploaded it can be seen by anyone and especially if your last name is Jackson. And about the N word used, I'm sure they said "nigga" which is supposedly the proper way the brothers use it. I wish they wouldn't use it and I tried to persuade my peeps who do use it, that it's not a good thing but the guys just like using that word. What can you do?

    Hmmmm, I don't know. I didn't really look at it as a clue in any way. It made me sad, really. It seems like they are just saying, "Look what we have and you don't." They were amazed at how big the suite was and they were in it. I didn't see MJ's kids so maybe they are carrying out MJ's wishes to not be exploited. I just hope they keep their innocence a little longer!
  • No, you´re right!

    If you don't see Prince, Paris, and Blanket here's a more detailed look at where they are and what they're doing in the video: <!-- m -->http://weloveppb.webs.com/apps/forums/t ... nte-jaafar<!-- m -->
  • It appears to me that Jermaine's boys aren't use to living the high life like this. Did anyone else notice how they kept acting in complete awe of the size of the suite? One of them even comments on how ridiculous it is that the place is so huge. It looks to me like even the young ones can see that their uncles money is being exploited. JMO
