EXCLUSIVE Truth about La Toya Jackson's VERY slender frame after fans claimed she lost too much weight
La Toya Jackson has broken her silence after fans claimed that she'd lost too much weight. The legendary entertainer, 69, first sparked concerns in December after fans noticed her looking thinner than usual. The Hearts Don't Lie hitmaker then continued to raise eyebrows with a series of skinny social media posts, sparking concern among her followers. Speaking to on Wednesday ahead of her two shows at the Catalina Jazz Club, Jackson said that her svelte figure was all down to her plant-based diet. 'I'm strictly organic. I make sure that everything I eat is organic and my diet is basically based on plants,' she explained. 'So it's a cruciferous diet basically and that's what I stick to because this is what God put on the earth for us,' she continued. A cruciferous diet emphasizes the consumption of cruciferous vegetables, which include broccoli, arugula, kale, and cabbage. While La Toya sticks to her veggies, she did admit that she occasionally eats chicken too. The fifth child and middle daughter of the legendary Jackson family raised eyebrows recently when she appeared frail in a series of recent social media posts. 'Gosh you are beautiful but so tiny!' asked one concern fan. 'You are extremely skinny,' asked another, while a third wrote, 'Sticks and stones might break your bones, but carbs and bread wont hurt you.' La Toya is still active in the entertainment industry but chooses to stay out of the limelight and makes infrequent public appearances. She gave fans a glimpse behind the scenes with her 2011 memoir Starting Over, and has appeared on multiple reality TV shows, including Life With La Toya. However, the legendary diva is currently planning to launch her own luxury lifestyle brand in the Middle East. Speaking to about the venture, La Toya said, 'I've been working on it for quite a while now, for over a year actually, and it's gonna show a mixture of everything we have. 'Men's clothing, women's clothing, shoes, purses, hats, accessories, everything. You name it, dresses, everything,' she continued. 'I love the men's line. It's so beautiful. It's right down my alley, so that's good.' La Toya recently appeared on the Australian version of The Masked Singer, where she was unveiled as Burger Gal. The Grammy winner managed to fool all the judges except ex Spice Girl, Mel B, who guessed correctly. Reflecting on growing up as a Jackson, La Toya admitted on The Project that she doesn't know any different, confessing the worldwide fame is normal to her. 'I want to say it's weird. But when you're in a situation meaning a family you've been in all your life, whatever it is, it's normal to you,' she said. 'I don't know any different. Any other way. This is all I've known my life,' she continued. 'It's not weird or strange because this is your life. Our parents told us when we were very young that if you're not willing to give autographs or smile or be kind to people, then get out of the business. This is the business that you're in.'

EXCLUSIVE How Michael Jackson's daughter Paris was set up for superstardom by late dad and aunt La Toya
At just 27, Michael Jackson 's daughter Paris has carved out an incredible career for herself as a singer, model, and actress. Determined not to be overshadowed by her famous family, the genetically-blessed ' nepo baby ' has gone above and beyond to carve out her own place in the spotlight. Her aunt La Toya, 69, spoke to about her 'beautiful' niece this week and shared how both she and Michael influenced the young star. 'She is such a beautiful young lady and she's doing absolutely fabulous everywhere,' La Toya gushed. 'She's been doing a lot of acting. You'll see her movies coming out. She's doing a lot of things, so I'm so proud of her,' she continued. When asked what advice she and late brother Michael gave Paris on her journey to superstardom, La Toya said, 'Just be true to yourself and she knows to be true to herself.' She continued, 'Look, her dad was the biggest guy in the world, so she learned a lot from him when she was much younger and that's still been instilled in her head. 'Just really do what you really love in life and be true to yourself. And once she knew that, look how she's navigated herself.' La Toya is currently gearing up for two shows at the Catalina Jazz Club in Hollywood. The entertainer, 69, will be at the club for two nights on Friday and Saturday, June 6 and 7, sharing stories about her life and career. 'It's going to be very intimate,' she told 'It'll be me sharing stories about my life and growing up in the royal family of music and things like that, and when people ask me questions, they'll get answers.' Meanwhile, Paris is currently gearing up to star in the action-thriller One Spoon of Chocolate alongside Shameik Moore. She'll also be seen in the comedy Skinemax with Crispin Glover and Rory Culkin. Outside of film, Paris has made her mark in television with roles in American Horror Stories, Swarm, and Doctor Odyssey. The 27-year-old released her debut album Wilted in 2020 and followed up with a new single called Bandaid in 2023. Deebie Rowe, an American nurse, married Michael in a secret ceremony in Sydney, Australia, in 1996 and was surrogate mother to the singer's two oldest children Prince and Paris. They divorced three years later in 1999. Prince and Paris also have a younger brother Bigi who was formerly known as 'Blanket' but he was not mothered by Debbie. Michael died aged 50 following a drug-induced cardiac arrest in June 2009 at his home in Los Angeles and his personal physician at the time, Dr Conrad Murray, was jailed for involuntary manslaughter. After the Smooth Criminal singer passed away, Paris and Prince were raised by grandmother Katherine Jackson. Paris, who is currently engaged to Justin Long, posted a video to Instagram on January 7 revealing that she was five years into her sobriety journey from heroin and alcohol. 'Hi, I'm PK and I'm an alcoholic and a heroin addict,' she wrote. 'Today marks five years clean and sober from all drugs and alcohol. To say that I'm thankful would be a poor euphemism. Gratitude hardly scratches the surface,' she continued. 'It's because I'm sober that I get to smile today. I get to make music. I get to experience the joy of loving my dogs and cat. I get to feel heartbreak in all its glory. I get to grieve. I get to laugh. I get to dance. I get to trust. 'I feel the sun on my skin and it's warm. I've found that life keeps happening regardless of whether I'm sober or not, but today I get to show up for it. 'Here's a little snapshot of what has been possible because of my sobriety, and my god I can't believe I almost missed it all,' she finished off the heartbreaking caption.
