The new US Weekly’s “Hot Stuff” column looks like it’s serving cold dish.
A supposed “source” told the mag a new A&E reality series featuring the Jackson family “will include Michael’s kids – Prince, 12, Paris, 11, and Blanket, 7.” The late King of Pop’s eldest sister Rebbie expressed disgust, saying “Michael would spin in his grave if he knew his kids would be on this show.”
Well, Michael won’t be spinning. Because it’s nothing more than a rumor.
After A&E issued a statement acknowledging that “it is entirely possible that [Michael's] brothers’ will intersect with other members of the Jackson family,” US Weekly stood by its report.
But a source involved in the production confirms to Gossip Cop that while the brothers may “intersect” with Michael’s children, there are no plans to include them in the series. It should also be noted that to be put on the air, participants need to sign a release. The children’s grandmother, Katherine Jackson, acts as their children’s legal guardian, and a source in the Jackson camp tells Gossip Cop there’s no chance she’d sign off on their participation.

Katherine has told TMZ that the kids won’t be on the show in addition to A&E denying it.
Between the Justin/jessica break up story they did, which was wrong, and this Jackson kids story, which is wrong, Us Weekly is starting to look more and more like the magazines they put in their magazine as telling false stories. They always do pieces on OK and In Touch and their false stories. They are no different.
