What better way to help children get over their famous father's death than to stick them on a reality TV show and let the cameras roll? Sure, it sounds insane, but according to Us Weekly, Prince, 12, Paris, 11, and Blanket, 7, will be starring in an upcoming A&E reality show about the Jackson family set to air in December and titled The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty. Not everyone is pleased with the idea. Eldest sister Rebbie, 59, has bowed out of the program and "feels Michael would spin in his grave if he knew his kids would be on this show," although Janet, 43, is on board. Apparently mom Katherine, who has custody of the children, is "just going along with things," according to an unnamed source. The show will consist of five hourlongor ten half-hour episodes, and has "23 cast members with the last name Jackson," according to executive producer Jodi Gomes, who added that all of them have "done a great job opening up about losing a brother."
