The A&E (Arts and Entertainment - what a joke) network is producing a show called The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty, which focuses on the lives of four of the Jackson brothers (Jackie, Jermaine, Tito and Marlon), and was in the works before the singer's June 25 death. It looks as if Michael Jackson's children, Paris, Blanket and Prince Michael may be appearing on the show.
"Filming is taking place right now," A&E said in the late Wednesday statement. "As production moves forward, it is entirely possible that the brothers' paths will intersect with other members of the Jackson family, who may or may not be included in the finished series. However, we cannot at this point definitively know who else may make an appearance in the series.
Earlier Wednesday A&E stated "They [Michael's children] are not part of the series." Later in the day they said it was "entirely possible" that "other members of the Jackson family" could appear on the show, but it is too soon to know.
Us Weekly reports that eldest sister Rebbie Jackson, 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.
I never thought that I would say this but, Rebbie seems like she's the only sane one in the family. After Michael went to such lengths to protect his children from the spotlight, the family is ready to throw the kids onto the first reality show that comes their way? I guess money runs thicker than blood in the Jackson family.

This family would do anything for money. I'm surprised that Papa Joe isn't in on it. Those kids have been though a lot in the last few months, they don't need to be subjected to the bull crap of a reality show.
SFRowGuy says:
All Right! Now that Michael is not around to prevent this, the rest of his family and any random A-Hole Hollywood producer can take advantage of Michael's kids. WooHoo!
If the kids are smart and learned anything from their father, they will tell everyone to F Off. It's not like they need the money. I thought their Grandmother was suppose to be caring for/protecting them? Way to go Gramms!
