Prince Michael Jackson named new "Entertainment Tonight" correspondent

Not bad for a first job.

Pop star Michael Jackson's son Prince Michael I made his debut Monday as a correspondent for "Entertainment Tonight."

"I just turned 16," Jackson told stars from the new movie "Oz the Great and Powerful" during his first interview for "ET."

Before his chat with the "Oz" cast, Jackson's new colleague, correspondent Brooke Anderson, gave the young star some tips of the trade. Anderson says she was impressed with his maturity.

"That was all thanks to my dad. He raised me right," Prince Michael Jackson said of his famous father, who died in 2009 from an overdose of the powerful anesthetic propofol.

The King of Pop's son says one of the stars he looks most forward to getting the chance to interview is "Lord of the Rings" filmmaker Peter Jackson.

Jackson can be seen in various reports on "E.T." all this week.

Tell us: What did you think of Jackson's reporting debut?

Wacko was his father in ONLY the legal sense. Of course, as much as he lied, blatantly, to the public, who knows what the arrangement was. He did say that he fathered his kids. He also said he only had two procedures on his wonky nose. He also said he never diddled with little boys. But he curiously paid at least one millions to keep quiet. This is the one who authorities said identified unique Black man + white woman= black baby. That's genetics folks.

Mj is the father, but Arnold Kline has to be the donor cuz he looks just like him.

What did this article have to do with genetics or DNA? Why does it always have to come back to that? How many people in this world have had DNA tests done to prove if your father is who you really think he is...I'll bet some would be surprised to find out the truth....

I think it's fair to say there is doubt Prince has Michael's DNA.
That being set aside, if he wants to work, he should first learn to manage the fortune he should have inherited.

Genetics aside, it does not matter. He is Michael Jackson's son. I believe this young man has a bright future. I wish him the best.

Neoptism?

But as genetics cannot be hidden in the way plastic surgery can, he looks absolutely nothing like his (claimed biological) father. Maybe he was adopted.

I'm sure he was raised well; I would not dispute that.

Michael Jackson is very much his father. You, of course, are not. So, don't even go there. Nobody is asking about genetics, least of all yours.

It all comes back to the media.... They sensationalize these pathetic events and more of them happen... Maybe it time to look at the first amendment?

I am glad he was not dropped from the balcony.
