Diana Ross Would Be a Perfect Mom for Michael Jackson's Kids

By Robert Paul Reyes

"Michael Jackson's seven-year-old will has been filed in a Los Angeles court, giving his entire estate to a family trust and naming his mother as a beneficiary of the trust and the guardian of his three children.

The will, filed on Wednesday, names singer Diana Ross as a successor guardian to 79-year-old Katherine Jackson if necessary." http://www.theage.com.au/lifestyle/people/michael-jacksons-will-names-diana-ross-as-childrens-successor-guardian-20090702-d5g9.html

Michael Jackson's liked to surround himself with young boys and ageing female icons like Elizabeth Taylor and Diana Ross. The King of Pop had a life-long friendship with Diana Ross, they starred together in the 1978 film The Wiz.

Michael Jackson was so enamored of Diana Ross that he instructed his plastic surgeon to give him a Diana Ross nose. The physical similarity between these two icons is amazing, they could pass for mother and son. (or mother and daughter)

Michael Jackson's mother is 79-years-old, and though she appears to be in good health, at her age she can't take tomorrow for granted. If Jackson's mother dies, Ross will be awarded custody of the King of Pop's children.

Would Diana Ross be a good mother to Jackson's children?

The soul diva would be a perfect fit -- she looks just like Jackson. The poor kids might not even be able to tell the difference between the two legends.

Michael Jackson was arguably the greatest entertainer in history, but he was an eccentric and unconventional parent. Diana Ross is a flamboyant diva who would never be mistaken for Clair Huxtable. The Jackson kids are comfortable in a weird environment -- Diana would maintain that weird vibe with her diva antics.

I hope that nothing happens to the King of Pop's mother, she seems to be a lovely and decent person. But if something happens to her, the kids will be in good hands with Diana Ross.
