Katherine Jackson, ma- triarch of the iconic Jackson family, has suffered a stroke just months after the death of her husband Joe, Radar On- line reports.
Multiple sources told the website that Jackson’s condi- tion may be dire.
“Katherine had another stroke several weeks ago,” said the unnamed source. “Everyone is just bracing for her passing at this point.” In April, she had suffered a small stroke and has been in ill health ever since.
The source said that Jack- son, 88, is struggling to speak, and toward the end of summer, she was transported to a Los Angeles-area hospital and stayed for a week. She was sent

home on orders to rest.
“She’s not in good condition
and is still struggling to speak.
She has said she’s ready to be in heaven with her son,” added another source. Her son the leg- endary “King of Pop” Michael Jackson, died in 2009.
In June, Joe Jackson died after a long battle with terminal pancreatic cancer at age 89. In his final days his wife, Kather- ine, had reportedly been at his bedside as were some of his 11 children and grandchildren.
“Her health has rapidly de- clined since Joe’s death,” said a source. “She’s been in such pain, both internal and exter- nal. Katherine seems to have given up on even trying in the past month, and it makes her family very sad to see her like this. She was always such a strong, strong woman.”

The man allegedly responsi- ble for the death of Sutton Tennyson, Angela Sim- mons’ ex-fiancé and father of her child, has turned himself in to Atlanta police. According to WSB-TV Atlanta, Michael Williams surrendered to au- thorities on Wednesday (No- vember 7).
Williams’ attorney, Jackie Patterson, told reporter Tom Jones that his client “will not be making any state- ments.”
Williams is charged with
murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and pos- session of a firearm during commission of a felon.
Tennyson was shot and killed in his driveway on No- vember 4.
Although the couple called off their engagement last year, Simmons expressed her deep sorrow on social media, writ- ing, “Thank you for leaving be- hind my greatest gift. I’m hurting. I’m numb.”
Their son, Sutton Jr., is 2 years old.
Bruno Mars is giving back in a major way this holiday sea- son.
The “Finesse” singer, 33, is making sure that 24,000 people who live in Hawaii have a Thanksgiving meal on their ta- bles come Nov. 22. Via the Hawaii Community Foun- dation, Mars is donating to the Salvation Army’s Thanks- giving Dinner Program in the Hawaiian and Pacific Is- lands Division.
The number of people who will benefit from Mars’ dona- tion comes from the name of

his song, album and tour 24K Magic.
His contribution is “single- handedly expanding [the pro- gram’s] reach across the state,” according to a press release. It is also bringing the program to home-bound individuals.
Mars may not be cooking thousands of meals himself, but he is handy in the kitchen. “U know every now and then I turn the stove on & make myself a salami sandwich. I think it’s best if u all knew that.. Alright.. take care,” he wrote on Twitter earlier in November.
