Are the Jackson Children the New Gosselins?
The quickly assembled A&E Jackson brother reality project is shape-shifting again, this time to include Michael Jackson's three children. To see which Jacksons are onboard for Blanket's reality debut, follow us after the jump. (Hint: It's not just Joe.)
According to Us Magazine, The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty will now feature Michael Jackson's three offspring, aged 7 to 12, in the program loosely scheduled for a December premiere. Katherine, the family matriarch and custodian of Prince, Paris and Blanket, supports the minors' appearance on the show. Janet is also behind the docu-series, which will air in 5 hour-long segments or 10 half-hour episodes. Eldest and lesser known sister, Rebbie, disagrees with the King of Pop's formerly fiercely protected children participating, arguing that Michael would "spin in his grave if he knew his kids would be on this show."
The A&E series was originally slated to document Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Randy as they planned a reunion tour without their brother. After Michael's sudden death, a total of 23 Jacksons agreed to grieve on-camera. Executive producer Jodi Gomes commended all of the partaking stars for having "done a great job opening up about losing a brother."
Joe Jackson has been uncharacteristically mum on the subject, possibly because he is busy pitching TLC on his new vision: Joe & Kate Plus Royalties (or We'll Always Have Paris).

IM WITH THE SISTER REBBIE, MICHAEL WOOD SPIN IN HIS GRAVE IF HE COULD JUST FROM THEM TALKING ABOUT IT.IT IS WRONG ,AND I DISAGREE WITH IT. PA.
Now maybe we can all understand how things turn out so badly for this family?
A tiny sprinkling of common sense would not be a bad thing here. Keep talking, Rebbie. When the kids are older, they'll at least have you.
23 Jacksons?! I think Joe Jackson would be more prudent by collaborating with Keenan Ivory Wayans on producing a Big Brother/Fear Factor series starring the whole brood.
I wonder who could eat more sheep testicles, La Toya or Marlon?
