JACKSON FAMILY MADNESS - COPS CALLED TO COMPOUND: The Jackson family drama is getting weird. Yesterday, police showed up at the family compound in Calabasas, California after an unidentified person inside accused someone else of a physical assault.
TMZ says deputies took a report but no arrests were made. RadarOnline says that JERMAINE, RANDY and JANET JACKSON showed up and tried to take MICHAEL'S kids, Paris, Prince and Blanket.
According to their source, quote, "Randy was telling Prince Michael he had to leave with them and that he had a private jet chartered to take them all to Arizona to see Katherine. Prince firmly held his ground and told Randy he wasn't going anywhere with them. The security detail prevented the three of them from taking the kids out of state. The cops had to be called."
"Paris was absolutely hysterical," the source continues. "[She] kept telling her uncles to just bring her grandmother home." Last night Paris Tweeted, quote, "8 days and counting . something is really off , this isn't like her at all .. i wanna talk directly to my grandmother!!"
The source claims Randy, Jermaine, and Janet wanted to whisk the kids away to Arizona so Michael's siblings could get some pictures into the tabloids of the kids with their grandmother.
Meanwhile ... gossip site X-17 Online spoke to their source who's blaming all of this on Katherine's nephew Trent. He's the guy who filed the missing persons report on Katherine Saturday night.
This source claims that he's manipulating the kids, and allegedly part of an ongoing investigation into elder abuse against Katherine. And he's also allegedly, supposedly convincing Paris to post Tweets against her aunts and uncles.
Making things even more interesting is the fact that Trent was hired by Michael several years ago to take care of Katherine. Other sources say he's very loyal to her and he's doing everything he can to protect Michael's kids from their greedy aunts and uncles.
The gossip site also posted a photo of Katherine playing Uno with family members, looking in good health and spirits. You can peep the pic HERE. What do you think, real or Photoshopped?
COPS CLOSE MISSING GRANDMA CASE: Katherine Jackson is no longer considered missing. The case has been officially closed after local cops visited with Katherine at the Arizona resort where she's been staying since last week -- supposedly, getting some doctor-ordered rest.
Although the L.A. County Sheriff's deputies themselves have not met with Mrs. Jackson, they were obviously satisfied with what the local police had to say, or they wouldn't have closed the case.
Meanwhile… sources continue telling TMZ if this is a money thing, a possible motive may have to do with The Jacksons' "Unity Tour". Word is it hasn't exactly been a money maker. The "L.A. Times" reports that 11 out of 27 dates have already been canceled due to poor ticket sales.
