Janet Jackson 'Furious' Over Niece Paris' Acting Career

Kristina Bumphrey, AP

Janet Jackson knows full well the dangers of getting involved in show business at too early an age, and according to UsMagazine.com, she's "furious" that Paris Jackson, the 14-year-old daughter of her late brother Michael, has accepted a part in the upcoming movie "Lundon's Bridge and the Three Keys," AOL Music reports.

"She feels it goes against Michael's wishes to keep his kids out of the the limelight until age 18," a source told Us, adding, "Janet thinks Paris should enjoy being a kid and possibly go to college."

Paris, meanwhile, seems keen on following in her father's footsteps. She's "hoping for more roles," the insider said, explaining that it's become "a huge dispute" in the family.

The Jacksons, of course, are no strangers to "huge disputes," but when Janet says, "You're only a child once," she's speaking from experience. Maybe young Paris should listen to what her aunty has to say.

I agee with Janet she should at least enjoy her childhood and finish school from the
Paris interview with Oprah she did say that she wanted to act that being said it
is well documented that her father wanted them to be kids and I am sure Paris
knows what her father wanted for her and her brothers. But she is still 14 years old
and many things have changed since Micheals death for all concerned I don't think
at 14 she should make her own desions but like all famous people the wrong people
are making them. Grandma Jackson is getting up in age I think she is trying her best
and I dont doubt she loves her grandkids but she has alot of issues and it is not about
the kids MONEY, MONEY that is sad all the way around .

Janet is old & jealous because she never made it as an actress. Paris is white she'll be more embraced = more successful. The Jackson family exploits it own anyway. Just mad cause Paris is doing her own thing. Yeah she's only 14 & Micheal was 9 showbiz. She gets to use the Jackson name like the rest of them.

Maybe aunty is green with envy because another Jackson female is getting attention. She isnt anyone to preach about how to raise a child when she has never ever earned a living doing anything but show business.

That is exactly why she can preach about it. Janet knows the ends and outs, the ups and downs of being a child celebrity.
