No Charlie's Angels on WGN in Chicago today. It's the cross town classic -- Cubs v. White Sox. Not being much of a sports fan, I'd prefer Farrah and company.

I thought she was, and am very glad that others agree.

does anyone remember who played her father? I keep thinking it was the guy who played Sandra Dee's father in the Gidget Movies. I sure loved my little margie.

Charles Farrell played Gale Storm's father. Don Porter was Gidget's (Sally Field) father in the TV series. I kind of get the actors and roles mixed up too. Maybe because Don Porter was Ann Southern's boss in Private Secretary and the Ann Southern Show. All were shows during the '50s and '60s.

I loved My Little Margie. I saw it on Nick at NIght along with many other gems of that era back when I was in bed for several months recovering from major surgery. I came homes with tubes which prevented me from straightening out or laying in bed so I was awake every night watching so many golden oldies. I have a very warm place in my heart for all of the actors on those programs.

It's going to be interesting as to how this is going to play out.... ET confirms that Katherine Jackson has filed papers for guardianship of the her son Michael Jackson's children. The papers were filed in Los Angeles Supreme Court and a hearing has been set for August 3. According to the papers, Katherine is petitioning to take over the kid's estate. The filings also show that the children are currently living at the Jackson's compound. Michael is survived by his three children: Prince Michael Jackson I, 12, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, 11, and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II, 7.

The judge has just ruled in favor of Katherine having temporary custody of the children.

I have mixed feelings but hopefully the children will be asked about it and also given any choices they have (if Grace would take them and they do have god parents and I know the godfather lives in Europe and stated he'd be willing but they are American kids, he said and he thought the family would want them). It would make me feel much better if Katherine included keeping Grace in the package, then the kids would have their grandmother and Grace. I wouldn't allow Joe to have any control, though. Mentioning their "estate" seems strange, or gives a certain impression.. just as what looks to be a move to lay blame for a death that has been coming on for years. Sadly, the time to step in strongly, with attorneys, and take charge would have been when their son was still alive. And it would have been difficult because he wasn't as young as, say Brittney, but there might have been an investigation into the drug use and a taking over of finances. Too late, now. The good thing, of course, is for all three kids to stay together. I wonder if one of the wills supposedly written by Michael did address his wishes, since he reportedly had said he didn't want them to go to his family/parents.

Debbie Rowe has been quoted as not being interested in removing the children from the people they know. She hasn't seen her children for years. As much as I think old man Jackson is for the birds, I do believe Katherine would do a fine job of raising the kids if she lives long enough.

Rowe's attorney is saying that the interview saying she doesn't want the kids or that Michael wasn't really the father is a fabrication.

OG, based on what? The stability of the lives of HER children? And Joe is there.. doesn't seem like what normally would be a no-brainer to me (but I think it is likely to be the eventual outcome) But Debbie Rowe certainly doesn't seem like a good candidate, that's for sure. I expect her to attempt to get yet more money from the family and slink away again. One article says she can see the kids http://www.tmz.com/2009/06/27/jackson-fam-debbie-rowe-can-see-her-kids/ And of course if this article is really the case of what the children want, without coercion and if they are aware that they might have an alternative.. then ok. But a "source close to" can say anything.. http://www.tmz.com/2009/06/27/jacksons-kids-we-want-to-stay-with-grandma/ Sources say MJ's kids will continue to live with Katherine Jackson at the family's Encino home. We're told the family is 100 percent behind this -- feeling that Katherine and Joe Jackson are the only people who can help the children understand who their father was, help them grieve, and teach them to deal with life in the spotlight. We're also told the kids are healthy but, as expected, they "miss their daddy." They have no relationship with Debbie Rowe, who is the biological mother of Michael and Paris. All of this will be critical to the case if, as expected, Rowe fights for custody.

If Katherine Jackson can have the kids and mostly keep them away from Joe, I say go for it. But Mr Jackson is I think almost universally acknowledged as the source of much of MJ's psychological issues and, according to MJ, he used to physically abuse him. And then there was Mr Jackson's interview on CNN last night, which was....strange, at a minimum. Promoting his record label? On a night they are honoring his son, who'd only died three days before? Yuck. Anyhow, I was pretty disappointed with the BET tribute to MJ. The best part was Ne-Yo, but I love him anyhow; I think he has a great voice and he is an amazing entertainer. He did a great version of "Lady in My Life" and his duet with Jamie Foxx on "I'll Be There" was quite good, too. Whatever Beyonce did, with that wedding dress looking thing while singing Ave Maria with lots of melisma, was very strange

I think Prince looks just like Michael in this picture...even those long legs are Michaels. I would say these are definitely Michael's children! Aren't they cute?

yeah, that Beyonce mess could have been left off the show. Very self serving ... singing Ave Maria dressed like a tramp ...

Only problem with that Granny is that they *sorta* look like Michael post-surgeries. They look nothing like him au-naturale and I don't think genetics works that way.

Given Michael's interviews about his father, I think he would be horrified at his father raising Michael's children.

Beyonce needs to have her mother stop dressing her. I love Ne-Yo too. I think he did Michael proud.

I don't think that is a very flattering picture of Michael "post" surgery. The shape of the face and the beautiful eyes are Michael!

Kar ITA, Michael would be horrified about Joe being involved in his children's upbringing. But someone told me that Joe and Katherine were divorced or at least separated. If that's the case, I think Katharine would be fine as primary custodian. BTW, I don't think those are MJ's biological kids either. But he was their daddy, and they have got to be totally lost and frightened without him right now. My heart is just shredded for those kids.

Completely another rumor....BUT....It is said that Mark Lester, he of "Oliver" film fame...may be the father of the two eldest...I could agree to that with consideration to their looks.

Really? I think he (Michael I mean) looks adorable. I always thought he was an attractive teenager before he started messing with every part of his appearance.
