LOS ANGELES - Two of Michael Jackson's children have begun attending school for the first time after years of getting lessons at home from private tutors, celebrity website TMZ.com saidFriday.

Prince Michael, 13, and Paris Jackson, 12, had their first day on Wednesday at an exclusive private school in Los Angeles whose former students include the likes of Paris Hilton, former "Friends" actor Matthew Perry and singer Natalie Cole, TMZ reported, citing unidentified sources.

Jackson's youngest son, the eight-year-old known as Blanket, will continue to be home-schooled for the time being.

The singer's mother Katherine, who has custody of her three grand-children, said in a June interview that she planned to send the once-sheltered children to school this fall. The impetus is said to have come from Prince, who wanted a more social experience growing up.

Jackson, who died suddenly in June 2009, had kept his children secluded from outsiders, often having them wear veils when out in public.

Fees for the The Buckley School in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles range from $25,000 to $29,000 a year, according to the school's website.

A lawyer representing Michael Jackson's family has condemned plans for a memorabilia auction in China in October - insisting the late superstar "would be turning in his grave" if he knew about the sale.

A rare black, bejewelled glove worn by the King of Pop in 1995, said to be worth up to $50,000, is among the lots of stage costumes, original paintings and handwritten notes set to go under the hammer at the Julien's Auctions sale in Macau, China on Oct. 9, 2010.

But the planned sale has infuriated longtime Jackson family spokesman Brian Oxman, who claims Jackson attempted to block the auction just weeks before his tragic death last year.

Oxman tells Britain's Daily Star, "This is an outrage. Back in May of 2009 there was to be an auction. Michael demanded it was stopped. He never wanted this material to be auctioned. As soon as Michael Jackson was dead, Julien's Auctions was negotiating again with estate representatives. That was the very auction that Michael Jackson paid a lot of money to stop. He would be furious. He would be turning in his grave. This was to be his legacy to his children, and the legacy of his children is being sold off."

Julien's Auctions boss Darren Julien says, "It's the best collection of Michael Jackson items that we've ever assembled and it all came to us from his family and from the friends he gave them to."
