Michael Jackson May Have Cancer

The Jackson family is going through a real health scare. No, it's not because someone stole their creepy surgical masks. Unfortunately, it's much more serious than that.

For the third consecutive day, Jacko was spotted at a Beverly Hills medical center where he's reportedly going through a intense series of cancer screenings. Rumor has it that he underwent a shave biopsy to assess the threat posed by a few potentially cancerous growths. Sad.

Apparently, MJ and his kids (Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, and Prince Michael Jackson II) will have to wait a whole week to get results and find out of Jacko will need spot radiation therapy.

All joking about his weird mask thing aside, I hope the results come back benign. Get well soon, Michael.

Jacko Family Continues Masked Reign Of Terror

How long will Michael Jackson make his kids wear creepy masks in public? We'll have to wait and see.

Jacko and his three children, Prince Michael, Paris Michael, and Prince Michael II continued to "hide" their identities from the public in Los Angeles last weekend (by wearing brightly colored masks) officially making the King of Pop one of the weirdest dads on the celebrity parenting circuit.

The masks are supposedly intended to protect the children from the dreaded media (an impulse that I can totally understand). Still, after a few months, isn't the solution starting to be worse than the problem? Not to mention, the masks haven't exactly silenced rumors about Jacko's crazy parenting style... far from it.

You know that something is a bit off with your dad when he decides to name all three of his children after himself (Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, and Prince Michael Jackson II). That's gotta be a pretty good indicator that your dad is either extremely egocentric, or just has a tough time grasping this thing we call reality. In MJ's case, it's probably a mixture of both.

Squinty Suri

Suri may look adorable squinting like this, but the fact is, it's the result of paparazzi lights and camera. Yesterday, paparazzi attacked Katie Holmes as she left her NYC hotel. Her bodyguards went ballistic and starting shoving photogs out of the way, even knocking down a female photographer!

Now that's some muscle! It's also exactly what Britney needs, until the laws change, especially when it comes to the children of celebrities.

Liv Tyler and Son Harrassed by Photogs, Jen Garner Shoves Photographer

Liv Tyler took her 2 year old son out trick or treating, only to continue to be photographed and videotaping after repeatedly asking the paparazzi to stop.

She finally said, "What's the point? You're not going to go away," then "You're scary. It's my child."

When she finally gets home, Liv yells at the paparazzi to get off her property.

Last night, walking home from a dinner out, SAME THING! Even at 2, little Milo had enough, "Stop the light, stop the light," he screamed, but the photographers kept shooting.

You know, when someone says to stop, they really need to STOP. I would not make a very good famous person, I tell ya. This complete lack of respect for privacy, especially of a child, is uncalled for. I realize it's my job to report stories involving celebrity parents and their kids, but I also know that said parents get frustrated with the situation and should have the right to have their requests met when they ask for the paparazzi to back off. Yes, they are famous and they should expect pictures and video at times, but this constant hounding would probably drive me insane if I were in their shoes. Not to mention that being around little ones in such a scary way is unacceptable.

Liv wasn't the only one harrassed on Halloween. Jen Garner was out with baby Violet and had to shove a photographer who was right in Violet's face. They are babies for goodness sake! BACK OFF!

Full video of both Moms here, and also some footage of Uma Thurman's kids blowing raspberries at photographers. Sigh.
