Police Called to Jackson Family Home, Tensions Rise
Tensions are rising in the Jackson family and things have reached a critical breaking point.According to ABC, the Los Angeles police department were called to Katherine Jackson's home in response to a "family disturbance." Apparently, Randy, Jermaine and Janet Jackson showed up to the Calabasas home unannounced and tried to take away Michael's three kids, Prince, Paris and Blanket.Katherine Jackson's lawyer released a statement regarding the incident. "Jackson family members ambushed Katherine Jackson's home after their vehicle tore through security gates on the tails of the SUV containing Michael Jackson's children," read the statement. "An altercation ensued shortly thereafter and law enforcement arrived at the scene." The police report indicates no arrests were made, but TMZ cameras captured Janet and Jermaine outside the house allegedly engaged in a heated conversation.To add fuel to the fire, executors of Jackson's estate, John Branca and John McClain, are supporting TJ Jackson's (Tito's son) motion to obtain temporary guardianship of the three kids, reports TMZ. Branca and McClain maintain that Katherine has been kidnapped by her own children. Because of recent trouble in the family, the executors feel as though the Jackson kids are in danger. TJ tweeted to Paris, "I know it's completely unfair for them to do this to you and your brothers. We will keep trying. I love you."Last week, Katherine went missing but was found in Arizona at the home of her eldest daughter Rebbie. As of this morning, Paris still hasn't spoken to her grandmother. "Nine days and counting," she tweeted this morning. "So help me God, I will make whoever did this pay."Allegedly, the source of all this family tension comes from a letter several Jackson siblings wrote accusing Branca and McClain of fraud. Randy, Jermaine, Janet, Rebbie and Tito have been trying to convince Katherine that Michael's will was a fraud. Together, the siblings have been devising a plan for months.Since the incident, Prince, Paris and Blanket have been removed from Katherine's home and taken to a secure location.

Katherine Jackson is reportedly “furious” that her son, Randy, led a failed scheme to sack the managers of the King of Pop’s estate and scrap his will.
The beloved 82-year-old matriarch had no idea Randy tried to unseat estate executors John Branca and John McClain with fraud allegations while she spent nine days in seclusion at the Miraval resort in Tucson, RadarOnline reported Monday.
“Katherine was completely unaware that Randy had orchestrated his siblings signing a letter sent to the executors of Michael Jackson's estate demanding their immediate resignation.
Now that Katherine has been home for a few days, she recognizes that Randy was the one that planned this, and she is absolutely furious for him doing so,” an unidentified source reportedly told the website.
“Katherine has never had a stroke or a mini-stroke as the ridiculous letter says. Katherine will never speak out publicly against her children; it’s just not who she is.
Behind the scenes, however, Katherine is extremely upset and disappointed in Randy's actions that have brought so much unwanted chaos into all of their lives,” the source added.

Katherine Jackson’s lawyer declined comment when reached by the Daily News Monday.
It was just last week that Katherine lost guardianship of Michael’s three kids after they voiced concerns they hadn't spoken to their grandmother in more than a week and feared she was effectively kidnapped by their father’s siblings — Randy, Jermaine, Janet and Rebbie.
Judge Mitchell Beckloff handed temporary custody to Katherine Jackson’s grandson, TJ Jackson, the son of Michael’s brother Tito.
Beckloff said that Katherine should be able to resume her role once she returned from Arizona and filed a petition for reinstatement.

Randy Jackson in November.
Katherine Jackson’s lawyer said Friday that the matriarch was back home in Calabasas, Calif., and had agreed to share custody with TJ on a permanent basis to alleviate the stress of arranging for the children's’ security and staff requirements.
Katherine Jackson also issued a stern warning about leaks to the media, Radar reported. The familial fracas that erupted last week pitted Michael’s kids — Prince, 15, Paris, 14 and Blanket, 10 — against their four aunts and uncles, who all signed the letter and sent Katherine to Arizona.
It started with a missing-persons report that declared Katherine Jackson was MIA. It reached a fever pitch when Janet Jackson tried to grab Paris' cell phone during a heated confrontation that was caught on tape, and the teen later vowed on Twitter to seek retribution.
Katherine Jackson reportedly wants all the trash-talking to stop, including the public claim that Michael never signed the 2002 will, which handed stewardship of his lucrative estate to Branca and McClain, with Katherine, his kids and some charities listed as his sole beneficiaries.
“Katherine specifically told Randy that if he wants to pursue this ridiculous claim that Michael’s will is fake, to remain quiet about it. If Randy does find evidence, which Katherine knows is very unlikely to happen, to take it to court and not play it out the in press,” the source told Radar.
In a Twitter post earlier Monday, Randy again took aim at Michael’s executors by posting a report that the estate had banned him, Jermaine, Janet and Rebbie from entering the Calabasas home Katherine shares with Michael’s kids.
“And THIS IS WHY I AM SO AFRAID FOR MY MOTHER…" he tweeted along with a link to the story.
In a separate development Monday, Dr. Conrad Murray, convicted in Michael's 2009 overdose death, asked an appeals court to order laboratory testing on drug paraphernalia he believes can prove his innocence.
In paperwork filed with the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, a Murray lawyer asked the court to authorize forensic analysis of a bottle of the surgery-strength anesthetic propofol recovered from Michael’s bedroom.
The 100-milliliter vial delivered the propofol dose that ultimately killed the "Thriller" singer, prosecutors said at Murray's trial.
Prosecutors told jurors that Murray mixed the propofol with an anti-burn anesthetic called lidocaine and administered it to the sleep-hungry singer via an intravenous drip.
Murray’s defense argued that the doctor only gave Jackson a small amount of the drug, and that the Gloved One injected himself with the fatal propofol dose using a syringe.
In the filing, defense lawyer Valerie Wass argued that testing, which was not allowed by Murray's trial judge for timing reasons, could determine the exact contents of the vial and whether it supports the prosecution’s theory.
“If that bottle is pure propofol, then Conrad Murray deserves a new trial,” Murray’s legal spokesman, Mark Fierro, told The News. Murray is serving a four-year sentence after a jury convicted him of involuntary manslaughter.
