A&E's The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty, which is to feature the family coming together after the tragic death of its' most famous son, will also feature Michael's kids, Prince, 12, Paris, 11, and Blanket, 7, as part of the cast.

A source tells Us that Michael's oldest sister Rebbie, who has refused to be part of the series, "feels Michael would spin in his grave if he knew his kids would be on this show."

But Janet is apparently on board with the kids being on-camera. As for Katherine, their grandmother and guardian, she's "just going along with things."

Although exposing the kids Michael took such pains to protect from cameras (going so far as to make them wear masks whenever out in public) may be seen as exploiting them, the network seemed pleased with the show, which is set to air in December.

"We have 23 cast members with the last name Jackson," executive producer Jodi Gomes told the mag. "They've done a great job opening up about losing a brother."
