Janet Jackson is breaking her silence about her late brother Michael Jackson’s death in the October 2009 issue of Harper’s Bazaar, on stands Sept. 22. Here’s what the 43-year-old singer opened up about:
On Michael’s daughter, Paris, speaking during his memorial service: “I was really proud. People said to me that Michael’s daughter speaking really gave them a sense of how he was as a father, in her words. Paris is incredibly smart; they are all so smart. She’s a sweet girl. The kids are doing well. They’re with all their cousins; that family love will keep them going.”
On what she’s like the world to know about Michael: “He loved to laugh. The last time we were together, he’d laugh so hard, he would just start crying. Sometimes his humor would be corny, sometimes dry. He loved the Three Stooges, he loved slapstick, he loved Eddie Murphy in his silly comedies. He loved to have fun. He loved to play… He’s just got so much love, and so much heart, and so much power through his music. Children and his love for children. People have told me, ‘I am an American citizen because of your brother.’”
Don’t forget: Janet will OPEN this year’s MTV VMAs with a special tribute to her late brother, Michael Jackson. Tune in this Sunday, September 13 @ 9pm/8c on MTV.

The Los Angeles County Coroner has reportedly ruled Michael Jackson’s death as a homicide, a law enforcement official has told the Associated Press.
An autopsy of the King of Pop found lethal levels of the anesthetic propofol in his body, which was administered hours before he died in an L.A. mansion on June 25.
A search warrant unsealed today reveals Jackson’s doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray, had been giving the singer 50 milligrams of Propofol every night using an intravenous line. He told LAPD that he had been treating Jackson for insomnia.
A rep for the Jackson family tells JustJared.com, “The Jackson family has full confidence in the legal process, and commends the ongoing efforts of the L.A. County Coroner, the L.A. District Attorney and the L.A. Police Department. The family looks forward to the day that justice can be served.”
