Eagles want Michael Jackson's daughter to be a cheerleader

Michael Jackson's daughter Paris has been offered a job as a cheerleader by the Philadelphia Eagles after footage of her pom pom shaking efforts for her high school basketball squad leaked online.

Images of Paris Jackson dancing as a Buckley High School cheerleader have come to the attention of the woman behind the Eagles girls, and she wants the teenager to consider a sideline job for the football team.

Barbara Zaun tells TMZ.com, "We think Paris will make a great Eagle cheerleader! We thought that she had a lot of poise, confidence, and enthusiasm in her cheer performance. Paris has that wow factor that makes a great cheerleader."

Paris has four years to make up her mind - the 14 year old can't become an Eagles cheerleader until she turns 18.

And Zaun is keen to start the recruitment now: "We hope that she will try out for the team and be an Eagles cheerleader."
