Michael Jackson’s 16 Year Old Son gets A Corespondent Gig With Entertainment Tonight

Prince is determined to make his own mark in the Entertainment world.  The 16 year old has landed a job as a correspondent for Entertainment Tonight.

Prince’s first interview was with the cast and crew behind the Movie “Oz, the Great and Powerful”.  He sat down with James Franco, Zach Braff and the director of the film Sam Raimi.

Obviously he got the hook up for the job, but I’m not mad at him.  He’s the son of one of the greatest Entertainers of all time.  I think a hook up is definitely in order.  Brooke Anderson is actually the woman behind the favor.  She said she had a mutual connection with Prince when she met him a few years earlier and wanted to find an opportunity for him.  She said that the OZ movie was perfect.  Anderson explained,

I thought him interviewing people from ‘Oz’ would be great because his dad was in ‘The Wiz,’ he’s a fan of ‘The Wizard of Oz’ and he wants to get into producing and directing,”

After the interview, Prince said that he plans to make a mark in the entertainment industry.  He also felt that asking the questions instead of answering was weird.  He told the media,

“I’m looking to become well-rounded as a producer, director, screenwriter and actor. I’ve been raised around stuff like this so it was different being the interviewer instead of the one being interviewed.”

Prince’s interview will be shown in segments broken up throughout the week during the regular show.  Prince is just a temp now but hopes that this interview will open the door for the show to bring him on for more kids related news topics.

I think Michael would be proud.  Right Mike?
