Jackson Children's Participation In Reality Show Unclear

LOS ANGELES — Whether Michael Jackson's children will be part of a TV series about his brothers or not is up in the air.

A&E says the reality show with the working title "The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty" is focused on brothers Jackie, Jermaine, Tito and Marlon and their lives after Michael's drug-induced death in June.

The network said it is "entirely possible" the brothers will cross paths with other family members who may be included in the finished series.

But A&E said Wednesday it's too early to know which other Jacksons will appear in the series, which is tentatively set for December.

Asked whether Jackson's children Paris, Prince Michael and Prince Michael II, known as Blanket, had been filmed for the show, an A&E spokesman, Dan Silberman, said he didn't know.

Leave those kids alone - and well out of any part in a reality tv show. Geez, you know that the producers are pushing for those kids to be in it -- they want the ratings and I'm sorry but Michael's brothers aren't really that interesting to the general public. I don't expect any better from slimy producers, but let's hope the family still has some actual decency and says "no way."

[sexyrexy]

those kids don't need the money!!!

this reality show was in the works before MJ's passing having nothing to do with him.

[Rangergirl]

They hopefully won't get those kids in the middle of a reality show...Lets not have another Jon and Kate plus eight....They are grieving for their father and should not be subjected to being on tv. Katherine keep them secluded...and out of the limelight..

I don't believe Mrs. Katherine will allow those kids to be in that reality show. Fine if Jermaine, Jackie, Tito, Randy, Marlon want to do the show, but leave Michael's kids out of it. He would not want that for them and he trusted his Mother to do the right thing concerning his kids. I hope Michael's brother will not allow the kids to be used also. So please don't do that to them. Money and fame isn't everything.

Aw, leave those poor kids alone!

HP needs to change the headline.

Katherine Jackson has stated that the kids " will not appear on any TV reality show in her lifetime."

[lpeggy]

Thank you! :-)

These scandalous and misleading headlines are only for the sole purpose of dragging us in. This place is turning into to the illegitimate love child of Matt Drudge and TMZ.

Was Michael Jackson's death "drug-induced"? To be accurate, it should be called "anestheti­c-induced"­.

[Shzron1946]

Okay, I looked it up and anesthetics are drugs. So. Let's say it was an "anesthetics drug-induced" death. Media always tries to be so negative about certain things.

[chitown]

Why not just call it murder, because that's what it was.

And yesterday Katherine Jackson said NO WAY!!! She said MJ kept his children out of the public, even having them wear masks, and she will continue to raise them the way their father wanted. She is truly sticking to the ideas of their father. I commend her for that.

What a lame reality show theme. It's about what the brothers are doing AFTER MJ's death. WTH were they doing BEFORE his death? I don't see this lasting very long. I'm sure Jermaine chased every company he could find for this show. The J5 are a nostalgic group but that's about it. Without MJ there is no J5.

Good!

I was hoping Katherine would put her foot down and do what's best for her grandkids. I think it's the media starved brothers who want the kids in the show to boost ratings.

[rsprags]

This is Media drive bogus bull; producers at A& E being vague because they want you all to tune in hoping to get a glimpse of the 3Ps swimming, playing tennis or playing volleyball, talking to their uncles. It will never happen because Mrs.Jackson would not put up with it.
Media know everytime they mention MJ their rating go up and throw in the possibility of the 3Ps name in the Reality mix is a rating rating bonanza.
Those children will not be on the show! where would you put these children who are multi millionaires (by the times they are adults billionaires) be on a reality show--they do not need the money nor the publicity.There every day life trying to keep the carve PAPZ away from them is an everyday reality show!

I don't have a problem with the brothers doing the show.. they're adults and they have been in the public eye before. More than that, they can choose to stay out of it. If they want to do a show... they're already famous... let them. But PLEASE leave those poor children out of this. Michael's wish was that they stay as far away from fame as possible.

[MNmommy]

Let's leave the kids out of this. Please?

[SkuddGobang]

If Michael would have had one dying wish, that would be it. Let's PLEASE not turn those kids into a circus. He spent so much energy protecting those kids from cameras... let's please not have them become reality TV stars.

[justice11]

The Jacksons would sell their soul to the devil if it meant making a buck!!

[harriettubman]

Especially Jermaine. I hope he doesn't schmooze his mother into allowing those kids to appear. He had Katherine make a public statement after that farce of a tribue to MJ fell thru and all the celebs said they weren't participating.

[Bexstarr]

He needs money for the lifetime supply of black Sharpies to draw in his hair line.

[Marrymeplease]

justice11.­.....let's hope if they will sell their soul to the devil as you said........let's hope they will not sell MJ's kids soul. I'm betting they won't do it. Have anyone ever thought about this, A&E knows that the show will get more viewers if MJ's kids are up there. So let's put it out there that they might be up there, we don't know for sure, but it's possible. Leave it like that and people might tune in to see if MJ's kids will be up there. More viewers. But I don't think Mrs. Katherine will allow it I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

[rsprags]

I just posted the same remarks; this will never happen!!

[RockinDiva]

Anything to make a buck off of these kids. They really take after their father.

[Biolante]

When is enough money enough? Geez...
