The ongoing drama in the Jackson family has taken another interesting turn. After Mrs. Katherine Jackson was found safe in Arizona with family, resting. The drama between Paris and some of Jackson siblings escalating the way that it did, has now put their business on front street for the media and public. Now the son of Tito Jackson, TJ (TJ is also an ex of Kim Kardashian) has been granted temporary guardianship of Michael Jackson's three children.

 Via TMZ:
There's a reason TJ Jackson had a lawyer prepare legal papers to make him the temporary guardian of Michael Jackson's kids -- he has already partially assumed that role ... and he even has the Kim Kardashian stamp of approval. TMZ broke the story ...

TJ became alarmed when Katherine Jackson -- the current legal guardian -- disappeared for more than a week. Jackson sources tell us ... TJ -- the 34-year-old married son of Tito -- has had a strong connection to Paris, Prince and Blanket for years, but was especially comforting after MJ died. One example ... at the Michael Jackson tribute show in Wales, Katherine was by herself in a private area, far from the kids. TJ was in full dad mode, helping Blanket tie his shoes, helping Prince tie his tie. He made sure the kids were fed during the concert, which lasted for hours. Kim Kardashian, who dated TJ for 4 years, tells friends, of all the Jacksons ... TJ was the closest to Michael and his kids. She says TJ had a "father-like" relationship with Michael's kids, adding, "He's a very honest and trustworthy person and everyone knows he'll do the right thing."

Paris, Prince and Blanket adore TJ and are behind the temp guardianship move, and that's something that will weigh heavily with the probate judge. We're told TJ is in wait mode -- to see what happens with Katherine. But the papers are drafted and he's ready to make his move in court.


UPDATE: Katherine's lawyer, Perry Sanders, said he would oppose any effort to make TJ the permanent guardian. Sanders said he had no basis for believing Katherine was kidnapped.

Sanders says he thinks this whole thing was a "giant misunderstanding." When Katherine returns to L.A., he says he will file a motion to reinstate Katherine as guardian. Perry says Randy assured him Katherine was coming home today.

Sanders says TJ was the "logical person" to become temporary guardian. Sanders says he believes TJ will be thrilled to handle the guardianship mantle back to Katherine when she returns, but that's not the way it sounded in court. We're [TMZ] live outside the courthouse where a judge named TJ Jackson temporary guardian of Michael Jackson's three children -- and SUSPENDED Katherine Jackson's guardianship.
