Report: Michael Jackson's kids to star in reality show

Michael Jackson's death hasn't quelled the feuding within his family.

Us Weekly reports that there's a storm brewing over whether or not Michael's three children — Prince, 12, Paris, 11, and Blanket, 7 — will appear in an upcoming reality TV series about the famous family.

Titled The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty, the program is slated to premiere in the US in December. It began shooting in April, without Michael's involvement. Originally, the series was intended to follow Michael's brothers as they rehearsed for a reunion tour, though it will now include the family's reaction to his sudden death in June.

While Janet is reportedly "on board" with the series, older sister Rebbie has refused to take part. "Michael would spin in his grave if he knew his kids would be on this show," she said, according to Us.

It was initially reported that family matriarch Katherine, the legal guardian of MJ's children, would permit them to appear in the series. But according to gossip blog TMZ, Katherine stated that they definitely won't be involved.

Representatives from the Jackson family and A&E, the US network that will air the series, refused to comment.
