Joe Jackson Sells Out His Grandkids For Reality TV Fame

A&E purchased the reality show The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty which will feature appearances by the late Michael Jackson’s three kids: Prince, Paris and Blanket. Thankfully, at least one Jackson thinks this is a bad idea.

Us Weekly reports that Rebbie Jackson, Michael’s oldest sister and the one who is supposedly caring for the children, is not participating in the show and believes it would make Michael “spin in his grave”. The children are in the custody of their grandmother, Katherine, who will participate in the show along with her husband Joe, who was always the mastermind behind the family’s grabs at fame. A source tells us that Katherine “is just going along with things”.

Didn’t the family learn their lesson the first time around. A life that started in the spotlight didn’t turn out that great for Michael, why would he want to inflict that on these children as well. And look at poor Blanket in the picture above. Does that look like a kid who wants to have camera’s in his bedroom?

The rest of the family—including Janet, the most famous living Jackson—is on board for either five hour-long episodes or 10 half hours. There will be 23 Jacksons in total, so it sounds like the whole brood will be counting their reality television money together.
