Baby Mama, 4 Kids Banished from Jackson Compound
TMZ has learned ... everyone is moving out of the Jackson family compound in Encino while the house undergoes extensive renovations ... and when the dust settles, another Jackson 5 will be personae non gratae.
We've learned Katherine Jackson and company are in the process of packing boxes and will leave the family home in early December for several months during the remodel.
But there's a bigger story here. As TMZ first reported, after the infamous "stun gun" incident at the home -- in March, when Jaafar allegedly threatened to shock Blanket -- Katherine asked Jaafar's mother, Alejandra, to take her 5 kids and move.
As we told you, Katherine and the Michael Jackson Estate generously offered Alejandra and her brood a condo MJ owned in the San Fernando Valley, but Alejandra wanted a lot more -- thus the stand off.
Now we're told Katherine is not letting Alejandra back in the house after the remodel. The condo offer still stands, but if she doesn't accept she'll have to find somewhere else to live with Jaafar, Jermajesty, Dante and Randy, Jr.
But one of Alejandra's kids is getting a reprieve from Katherine. We're told 20-year-old Genevieve will be staying with Katherine and Michael's kids in a temporary home during the remodel, and she will be the lone child of Alejandra who will be welcomed back to Hayvenhurst.
We're told Alejandra just left with some of her kids to Japan.

Nick Prugo, Rachel Lee, Diana Tamayo, Courtney Leigh Ames and Roy Lopez Jr. were all indicted on the following charges:

They're all due back in court on August 12.
Meanwhile ... in a jail nearby ... Burglar Bunch member Alexis Neiers is currently serving her six-month sentence.

Grand Jury Indicts Nick Prugo
TMZ has learned Nick Prugo has been indicted by the L.A. County Grand Jury -- in connection with his alleged role in the Burglar Bunch crime spree.
It's unclear why the D.A. took the case to the Grand Jury, since prosecutors have already charged Prugo with numerous felonies, in connection with the burglaries of Audrina Patridge, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Rachel Bilson, Orlando Bloom, Brian Austin Green, and Megan Fox.
An L.A. County Superior Court judge will formally receive the Grand Jury indictment this morning. The judge will then set bail.
As for why the D.A. went to the Grand Jury, there are a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that there will be no preliminary hearing. At a prelim, the celeb victims might be forced to testify, and this is a way to avoid that spectacle.
We're also told the D.A. goes to the Grand Jury when the scope of the case and the charges expand.
UPDATE: Another Burglar Bunch Defendant, Courtney Ames, just showed up in court. We do not know if the Grand Jury also indicted her.
UPDATE 12:15 PM PT: The whole BB crew -- Nick Prugo, Rachel Lee, Diana Tamayo, Courtney Ames, and Roy Lopez Jr. -- all pled not guilty today.
