Exclusive: Michael Jackson's Kids to Appear in A&E Reality Show

Wednesday – October 14, 2009 – 9:27am

The Jacksons are at odds over the inclusion of Michael Jackson's three children in an upcoming A&E reality show about the famous family, Us Weekly reports in its latest issue (on newsstands now).

A source tells Us Weekly the buzzed-about program will include Michael's kids -- Prince, 12, Paris, 11, and Blanket, 7 -- though not everyone's happy about it.

Eldest sister Rebbie, 59, who has refused to be in the series (called The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty, tentatively set to air in December), "feels Michael would spin in his grave if he knew his kids would be on this show."

While Janet, 43, is on board, mom Katherine "is just going along with things," the source continues.

Still, one of the creators of the program -- which will be either five one-hour episodes or 10 half-hour episodes -- says the family shines on the series.

"We have 23 cast members with the last name Jackson," executive producer Jodi Gomes tells Us Weekly. "They've done a great job opening up about losing a brother." (A Jackson family rep couldn't be reached.)

    This show was taped at least six months before MJ passed, and if you know anything about contracting and how shows are made, the deal was agreed upon long before that. If you saw the special that aired on ABC a while back, they showed clips which included MJ. No one can predict death, and as we all know his death was untimely. This family is an entertaining family, that is what they do, that is what they know. If we all stop being critics of things we don't understand, then this world would be a whole lot better. If you are a MJ fan, then do him a favor, watch the show because he would have wanted you to. Trust me, they understand what entertainment is and know that the show will serve its purpose of entertaining. Everyone needs to put down their â??hater aideâ?? and relax.

    I do not think there is any reason for the kids to have to hide anymore. The reason people were quriors about the kids was because their father was Michael Jackson. Now that he is deceased, they wont have to hide from the media anymore.

    Usually people do not pay much attention to deceased or living stars children. I think people will tune in at first to see the kids but it will fade quickly.

    wow...i can't believe Katherine is going along with this, but maybe it will help the kids break out of their shells a little. Michael did a great job raising them, they seem like sweet kids, but it almost seems like he made them fear the real world. it's time they see more of it and are seen more in it. i just hope the family knows what they're doing. but i do have a feeling Michael would flip

    see: here is a link to the press complaints commision in UK see: pcc.org.uk/news/index.html?article=NTk4NQ== Complainant Name: Resolved â?? Jennifer de Santos v Daily Mail Clauses Noted: 1 Publication: Daily Mail Complaint: Jennifer de Santos complained that an article had wrongly stated that Michael Jackson was a paedophile when he was acquitted of all charges. She also argued that the piece inaccurately claimed that Michael Jackson was "self-centred" when, in fact, he had donated money to many charities. Resolution: The complaint was resolved when the newspaper contacted the complainant directly to inform her that it had both removed the article from its website and annotated its archive accordingly. Report: 79 Perhaps we need to contact them regarding articles in the NOTW and the Sun, etc that have been negative for months. pcc.org.uk/contact/index.html Leave Your Comment by email with linked article(s)

    People can be so naive, the Jackson's are such smart, caring, loving people...do you actually think they would expose the children w/ the media hounds waiting to sink their greedy teeth into them...have some respect people, please please allow the Jackson's some degree of privacy & peace, have they not been through enough...Just continue to pray for them and back off....Lovingly a true fan

    Stop attacking Michael's family the kids was NEVER going to be on the show in the first place and Janet never said she was going to appear on the show and Rebbie haven't spoke to the media since MJ memorial. So please don't believe every new rumor that's pop up about the Jacksons. LEAVE THE KIDS & HIS FAMILY ALONE.
