Michael Jackson’s children ‘want to buy back Neverland’
Michael Jackson’s two eldest children want to buy back Neverland, the ranch the singer called home.
Prince Michael, 13, and Paris, 12, are said to want to turn the ranch into a shrine to their dad after having made a secret pilgrimage to the late singer’s £50 million home.
Jackson, who died in June last year, was forced to sell the sprawling ranch after losing control of it to an investment company when the King of Pop fell into debt, according to the News of the World.
A source told the newspaper: “Paris and Prince remembered the rooms from their childhood.”
The source went on to say that the children agreed that when they were old enough they would turn it into “some kind of community park and centre for animals”.
The source added that seven-year-old Blanket had also fallen in love with the place after a visit last summer.
According to the newspaper, the singer’s three children will inherit millions of dollars at the age of 21, which will mean they can afford to buy the famous estate.

Craig David shows off his buff body as he goes for a run in the hot Miami sun
He’s better known for his music than his image, but perhaps Craig David is cultivating a toned new image in time for his latest album release.
The Southampton-raised singer, 29, showed off his ripped six-pack as he went for his daily jog in Miami Beach this week.
Wearing just a pair of white shorts and trainers with his iPod to provide his running soundtrack, the pop star sprinted along the boardwalk.
The Fill Me In star has to work extra hard to resist temptation, claiming there’s ‘still a fat kid inside of me’. Taking time out of recording his new album, Craig has been making sure his body is in shape with regular jogging sessions.
This will be his sixth album following the release of his Motown cover album Signed, Sealed, Delivered earlier this year.
After a string of top 10 hits from his first two albums, Craig is hoping to return to the top of the charts with his new material.
His last top 10 song was Hot Stuff (Let’s Dance) three years ago, which reached number seven.
Aside from recording his new album and keeping in shape, Craig has been doing his bit for charity.
Last month, Craig spoke in his role as the Goodwill Ambassador for the fight against tuberculosis at the United Nations.

Guru grooming Russell Brand for marriage ahead of his Indian wedding
If anyone could do with a little spiritual guidance in the run-up to marriage, it’s Russell Brand.
The bad boy of comedy — who is expected to wed Katy Perry this week in India — met in Los Angeles at the weekend with the Krishna guru he has credited with helping him keep on the straight and narrow.
Brand, 35, has previously gushed about Radhanath Swami, 49, saying: “He’s a beautiful fellow. He’s got the answer. I’m a spiritual gent and increasingly that’s the level I want to vibrate on, were it not for my crazed lust for sex and glamour.”
Brand and Perry, 26, are expected to wed at the Taj Rambagh Palace, the same hotel where they became engaged on New Year’s Eve.
Close friends of the couple, including Rihanna, Jonathan Ross, Noel Gallagher and David Walliams, are due to make their way to India for the wedding ceremony on Saturday.
