Eagles invite Michael Jackson's 14-year-old daughter to (eventually) try out for their cheerleading squad

The dumbest story you'll hear all day is the one about the Eagles inviting Michael Jackson's 14-year-old daughter to try out for their cheerleading squad in, like, three years. Really. It's a thing that is actually happening.

Paris Jackson has been cheerleading for the Buckley varsity boys basketball team (goooooooooooo GRIFFINS!) in Sherman Oaks, California. Also, she's been making headlines because she has a funky new haircut and Miley Cyrus' funky haircut isn't new anymore.

Luckily, the folks over at TMZ are doing the Lord's work, so they spoke with Director of Eagles Cheerleaders Barbara Zaun about whether or not Paris Jackson should try out for the squad (SPOILER ALERT: she totally should). Now this is a sentence that exists:

"We thought that she had a lot of poise, confidence, and enthusiasm in her cheer performance," Zaun says ... adding, "Paris has that 'wow factor' that makes a great cheerleader."

Seriously? Maybe pump the breaks and let her turn in her book report on The Canterbury Tales and get through the Sophomore Sadie Hawkins dance first.

Eagles cheerleaders have to be 18 and have a high school diploma. Paris Jackson turns 18 in April of 2016, so go ahead and mark that on your Google calendars. [TMZ]

    It makes the Eagles sound like quite the pedophiles, preying on a 14-year-old kid. Then again, it sounds just like her father, too!

    The Lurie's will stoop to any level for publicity, and that's what this is, a publicity stunt.

    Maybe they'll have fixed their secondary by 2016 too.

    Paris Jackson is going to be a multimillionaire by the time she is of age 21 and the estate is finally settled. Why would she want to be an Eagles cheerleader and have everybody ogle her? Poor career choice.

    MJ was an American success story. Born a poor black boy, died a rich white... well, something or other.

    they arent his biological kids, michael was gay, his marriges were a cover, and his wife slept with other men, or something like that. thats why he liked little boys.

    I feel like everything she'll touch will turn to gold, except for the Jackson Tribute Fragrances, but that wasn't her fault. See the shocking pics of Prince and Paris Jackson posing with infamous perfumer Julian Rouas... Http://jacksontributefragrances.blogspot.com

    Pee Wee Roseman and Jeffrie Laurie will be thrilled...Paris money does not count towards the salary cap...which is clearly all those 2 penny counters care about....cheap, cheap.

    Seriously? Looking at her expression makes me sad. She is not cheering, she is learning to pose!

    Glad to see the Eagles organization is making moves like this to improve the team! Next they should call Meatloaf to play center and Jay-Z to provide a bad rap.
