Jackson family reality show to debut

Jackson family reality show to debut Los Angeles - Michael Jackson's brothers are to debut a new reality television show starting in December, E Online reported Friday.

The entertainment news site said that Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Randy Jackson would star in the show, which will be screened on the cable channel A&E.

Filming, which focuses on the siblings and their respective families, actually began nearly a year ago but was shelved after Michael scuttled a proposed Jacksons' reunion concert. However, interest grew after the singer's shocking death in June and the series will include the family's reactions to Michael's passing.

The reality show is only one of several TV projects in the works. Sister Janet has granted her first TV interview since Jackson's death, which will air on ABC on November 18.

The late singer himself is also touted to "appear" on a live séance to be broadcast over British network Sky 1. (dpa)
