And in other Jackson news, it is being reported that Michael's other sister Janet will step up to the plate as legal guardian for MJ'S three children if that is in fact what the children desire.
According to CBS News:
Janet Jackson has offered to raise brother Michael Jackson's children, according to "Inside Edition."
CBS News national correspondent Hattie Kauffman spoke with "Inside Edition" 's Jim Moret, who said there's talk that Janet has bonded with the children since their father's death.
"She has said, 'I'll step forward and I will raise them if this is what they want," ' Moret said.
Jackson's kids, Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., known as Prince, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, and Prince Michael Jackson II, known as Blanket, are staying at the Jacskon family home in Encino, Calif., with Michael's mother, Katherine Jackson, as called for in Michael's will.
Moret said he's talked to a family friend of the Jacksons who said the children are all grieving, but are happy because they're with their relatives.
Kauffman, who toured the Jackson home in 2004, noted the kids can play in the backyard or spend time in its theater.
This week, Kauffman reported, the Jackson children also attended a Jehovah's Witness service with the family.
Firpo Carr, Michael's friend, said the kids are familiar with the tenets of the faith.
"They believe that they're going to see Dad again when he's awakened from his sleep, that is, when he is resurrected from the dead."
A custody hearing for the Jackson children is scheduled for Monday.
Would Janet be the best choice to raise MJ's children?

Comments
Michael Jacksons children are going to end up just as disturbed as their father was.
Moma Jackson (Katherine) is bringing them to the Kingdom Hall, so they can be indoctrinated. Jehovah’s Witness have the highest mental illness rate of any religion.
The future is not bright for MJ’s children if this is permitted.
The negative influence of the teachings of the Jehovah's Witnesses on Michael and his family have been either downplayed or totally ignored for as long as the Jackson Family has received public attention. For those readers who really want to know what life is like to be reared in the WatchTower Cult, nothing beats real world scenarios, and of real world scenarios, nothing beats actual civil and criminal court cases.
The following website summarizes 900 court cases and lawsuits involving children of Jehovah's Witness Parents. The summaries demonstrate how JW Families rear their children and live life day-to-day. Also included are nearly 400 CRIMINAL cases -- most involving MURDERS:

i love this song la toya
I firmly believe that the JWs are very misguided and the religion is a borderline cult. At one point, Michael was encouraged to cut off all contact with LaToya just because she posed for Playboy. If a religion tries to separate u from your family, youd better RUN. Hopefully, the children will grow up and choose real Christianity. Yes, I admit to being biased toward Christ.
