DID JERMAINE JACKSON'S KIDS TRY TO USE A STUN GUN ON BLANKET???

The Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services paid a visit to KATHERINE JACKSON'S house on Monday night . . . to investigate an incident involving some of her grandchildren and . . . a STUN GUN.

Here's TMZ's version of the story . . .

A few weeks ago, JERMAINE JACKSON'S 13-year-old son Jaafar ordered a STUN GUN online . . . apparently without any adults knowing about it.

Jaafar lives with Katherine, as do several of his cousins . . . including MICHAEL JACKSON'S three kids.

So last week, security at the house heard some kind of commotion on the second floor. When they went to investigate, they found Jaafar trying to use the stun gun on Michael's 7-year-old son, BLANKET. (!!!)

One of the guards confiscated the gun before that could happen and gave it to Katherine, who locked it away.

But somebody . . . we don't know who . . . reported the incident to the Department of Children and Family Services. They paid a visit to the Jackson compound on Monday night, and took the stun gun.

But Katherine's attorney, Adam Streisand, tells a different story.

He admits Jaafar received the stun gun in the mail two weeks ago. Shortly thereafter, Katherine and one of the guards heard the sound of the taser and followed it to a room where they found Jaafar testing it ON A PIECE OF PAPER.

Streisand says, quote, "Mrs. Jackson took control over it and then had it removed from the house. There was no other incident.

"Blanket Jackson never saw or heard the taser. Neither did Paris Jackson. Prince saw the taser in the possession of security. There is no second taser."

(--That's another claim TMZ makes . . . that Jaafar has a second stun gun squirreled away somewhere.)

Katherine's attorney adds, quote, "All of the kids are happy, healthy and wonderful and that is Mrs. Jackson's only objective and concern."

Which poses the question, who would you like to tase?

WHY NOT TO ASK IF YOU LOOK FAT

When a woman asks if her pants make her look fat and you both know she's gained 5 pounds, what goes through his head? Women's Health contributing editor, Larry Smith's answer is: Dread. Hope. Fear. Dread because it's a lose-lose question, no answer is going to make you happy. Hope because when we tell you, "You're beautiful and I love you," we hope you know we mean it, and really hope you won't keep asking. And fear because it's not that 5 pounds is a big deal, we've had ups and downs ourselves and feel lucky that your love isn't calibrated to the scale.
