Kobe Bryant ditched his usual Lakers gear in favor of some festive green when he took his daughter Gianna to Disneyland yesterday.

Katherine Jackson and her people insist the incident involving Jermaine Jackson's son, Jaafar, and the stun gun was an isolated event -- but TMZ has obtained a home movie that shows Jaafar is no stranger to playing with guns. 
The scene -- which appears to have been shot several months ago -- begins with Jaafar (left) barging into Jermajesty's room, Airsoft gun drawn, and then ordering his little brother to get on the ground. Jaafar pushes Jermajesty to the ground, pretends to pistol-whip him, handcuffs him and then gives the youngster an incomplete version of his Miranda rights.
Jaafar then tells his brother, "Don't move or I'll bust your head open."
Jaafar then cocks the gun, points it to Jermajesty's head, pulls the trigger and you hear the click. Jermajesty plays dead and Jaafar drags him by the leg out of the room.
TMZ decided not to post the video.
As for the stun gun incident, sources tell TMZ Jaafar pointed the weapon at two of Michael Jackson's kids -- Blanket and Prince -- but the family insists the two kids weren't even in the same room.
Our sources say the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services are still reviewing the stun gun incident.

On a family outing for the first time since the LAPD began investigating that whole stun gun mess, Jackson family children (L-R) Paris, Blanket, Prince, Jaafar and Jermajesty all went to the movies in Los Angeles yesterday, reportedly to see "Alice in Wonderland." 
No word if they were celebrating anyone's unbirthday.

Jaafar Jackson left his Encino home without incident earlier today -- looking cool, calm and collected as the stun gun drama continues to unfold around him. 
The 13-year-old was seen hanging out in Woodland Hills, CA with his younger brother Jermajesty.
As for where their father Jermaine spent the day ... Jer guess is as good as ours.

So how does a 13-year-old boy score a stun gun? It's as easy as buying groceries.
TMZ has learned Jaafar Jackson, Jermaine's precocious boy, found a serious loophole in his pursuit of the electronic weapon -- at an L.A. Ralphs supermarket.
Sources tell us Jaafar bought several gift cards from the market -- we're told either Visa or American Express. He then used the cards to purchase the weapon online.
Online sites that sell the weapon in question make prospective buyers declare they are 18 years of age or older.
So apparently, Jaafar figured out if he got a lawful credit card number, no one would be the wiser.
Smart kid.

The L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services will be hearing different stories from different people about the stun gun incident, because some members of the family are saying the incident lasted only for minutes and none of Michael Jackson's kids were ever in danger, TMZ has learned.
We're told members of the family say the stun gun -- which Jermaine's 13-year-old-son Jaafar purchased online -- was delivered to the home several weeks ago and that Jaafar took it upstairs and was playing with it for only 4 minutes or so ... when Katherine and members of the security team heard noises from the stun gun.
We're told the family is saying there were two other kids in the room with Jaafar -- they say none of Michael's kids were present. The family, we're told, is saying that the gun was then taken away and that was that.
But as we first reported ... others will tell a different story to DCFS. They will tell social workers that Jermaine's son was playing with the stun gun and pointing it at Blanket and Prince, and that the stun gun was there for several days before it was confiscated.
We're also told others will tell DCFS there is another stun gun on the premises, something the Jackson family vehemently denies.

The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services will conduct a two day investigation into the stun gun incident at the home of Michael Jackson's family ... sources tell TMZ.
We're told DCFS will come to the house today after Michael Jackson's kids -- as well as the other kids living at the home -- return from school. DCFS will interview each of the children separately today and tomorrow. DCFS also wants to interview all the employees on the property, one by one. DCFS is also asking off-duty employees to come over for interviews.
As we reported, security personnel on the property heard strange sounds coming from the second floor of the house last week. When they investigated, they found the children upstairs playing with the stun gun "trying to zap each other, including Blanket." One source says Jermaine's kids were also pointing the stun gun at Michael's son, Prince.
We broke the story that Jermaine Jackson's 13-year-old son, Jaafar, purchased the stun gun online.
The gun was confiscated by DCFS last night.

Multiple sources are telling TMZ the stun gun that Jermaine Jackson's 13-year-old son purchased was actually used by the children in the house ... and Michael Jackson's son, Blanket was an intended target.
As we first reported, Jermaine's 13-year-old son Jaafar ordered the stun gun online. Randy Jackson told TMZ the gun was confiscated by security when it was delivered three weeks ago and locked up by Katherine Jackson. But we've learned and confirmed ... children at the Jackson home were playing with the gun last week.
Our sources say the kids were using the gun on the second floor of the house. Security guards on the property were perplexed because they couldn't figure out where the noise was coming from ... nor could they identify the sound.
Late last week, we're told one of the security guards went upstairs and "stopped Jermaine's kids from stunning Blanket." The guard confiscated the gun.
As we first reported, the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services went to the Jackson family home in Encino last night, at around 10:30. The two social workers interviewed Katherine and several of the kids and confiscated Jaafar's stun gun.
But our sources say the kids have a second stun gun that DCFS did not recover and it is somewhere on the property.
DCFS is going back to the house today for further investigation. Our sources say DCFS considers this "a very serious situation."

Brad Pitt's adorable daughter Shiloh Nouvel is fashioning herself right after her daddy.
The newly shorn three-year-old little Miss showed off her preppy outfit this week ... and it's almost an exact replica of what papa Brad wore just days after she was born.
Makes sense since Shiloh's a little too young to be dressing like mommy Angelina.
