All 3 kiddos will be lending their voices to a star-studded re-make of MJ’s charity hit “We Are the World.” According to reports, Prince, Paris and Blanket will be narrating an introduction to the song, which will help raise money for earthquake survivors in Haiti.

Apparently, the “Jackson 3″ will be reading a poem by Maya Angelou in the song’s opening seconds. Says an insider:

“They wanted to put a special message on the song – a message that echoes everything their father wanted for the world.”

75 other artists will be making an audible cameo on this re-make, including Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, LL Cool J, Toni Braxton, Pink, Celine Dion, Natalie Cole, the Jonas Brothers, Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, and celebrity mums Nicole Richie and Jennifer Hudson.

According to Entertainment Tonight, 7-year-old Blanket got “overwhelmed” moments before he was to go on stage.  Of course he did!  He’s SEVEN.  Apparently, Paris didn’t want to talk, but grandmother Katherine Jackson prompted her to say something. I don’t think the Jackson family ever understood that children are CHILDREN, not puppets without feelings that should perform on demand.  Okay, jumping off my high horse now…

“Our father was always concerned about the planet and humanity,” Prince says. “Through all his songs, his message was simple: love. We will continue to spread his message and help the world.” “Daddy was going to perform this year,” Paris adds. “Thank you, we love you, daddy.”

Michael’s mum Katherine is also expected to attend. Viewers will be able to see the kids accepting the award during a video presentation at the Grammys on Sunday.

The children haven’t been seen in public since the memorial service last summer. The only downer to the story is that Michael’s dad, Joe Jackson, is fuming about the negotiations that led to the agreement for the kids to be on the show.

The appearance of Michael Jackson’s kids will definitely boost ratings for the Grammys!

What’s not normal, though, is looking at your baby’s ultrasound picture and seeing the King of Pop growing in your uterus.

British couple Dawn Kelley and William Hickman were looking at a 20-week scan of their seventh child when they saw something familiar. It wasn’t Granddad’s nose or Mum’s chin — it was Michael Jackson’s face! Take a look after the jump

Hickman says his six other children, ages 16 to to four years can all see Jacko, too, so it’s not just him seeing things, and that no one in the family is really a big fan of the deceased singer. Since the baby is a girl, there’s no chance she’ll be named after her likeness, unless they opt for the lovely name, Michaela.

But you know what else is weird? I can totally see it! It’s a bit like looking ast one of those Magic Eye pix, you have to squint and get different perspectives, but I really can see it! Can you?

Tom wants Katie to star as the villainess in the next instalment of the Mission Impossible franchise.

Is that supposed to make the on-screen chemistry better or will it be like watching 90 minutes of Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley kissing?

The 65-year-old man’s body was found at his luxury apartment building in Jersey City with a single bullet wound to the head.  It was reported that:

“There was no note found in the apartment but officers did find medication in keeping with a serious medical condition. A doctor based at Colanta Hematology in Bayonne, NJ, had called the concierge, asking him check on Mr. Chandler’s apartment as Mr. Chandler had missed an appointment. It was thanks to the concierge’s actions that Mr. Chandler’s body was discovered. Mr. Chandler’s body has now been returned to his family.”

In the mid-nineties, after the Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office had worked on the case for over a year, the family settled with Jackson in a civil case for a sum of millions.

MJ had his eyes on the Bel Air mansion for seven years and was working on negotiations to purchase the pad right before his untimely passing. TMZ reported that MJ “fell in love with the 18,020 square foot estate” when he first saw it in 2001. He planned to purchase it, but the deal fell through because Jackson really didn’t have the funds to finish the deal. With the windfall he was expecting from his “This Is It” tour, he was working on renegotiating with the owners and was hoping to finally move in and to “recreate as much of Neverland as he legally could.”

TMZ had a source that said “”Jackson brought his kids to see the house and they fell in love with it … They begged him to buy it.” The kid’s favourite aspect of the estate was the “Bat Cave”, a secluded area under the house.

Check out some of the pics of the opulent estate here:

Michael’s sis, LaToya, talked to the UK newspaper, The Mirror, saying: “Prince just doesn’t want to speak about it. I do worry about him very much.” She said of Paris that she “thinks and talks about her father all the time. She’s doing very well, writes a lot and she wears his shirts every day. They still smell of him and it helps her feel close to him.”

And the youngest, Blanket, “is just a very sad, shy little boy,” LaToya said. “He cries — he really does cry. It’s so painful for him. No one can bring his daddy back and it hurts so much. They all go to therapy and I truly hope Prince especially will be able to open up.”

She also mentioned that the whole family is rallying around the trio and helping to raise them in a way in which Michael would have approved. The children are still home-schooled and allowed to watch two hours of TV a day (but only the Disney Channel and Nickelodeon).

“Paris doesn’t know it, but she has all the makings of a star,” LaToya added. “If she wants to go into showbiz I can see that happening. The boys like the idea of directing, which is what Michael wanted to do. Kids are resilient. He gave them so much love and that is helping them.”

Fortunately, the kids weren’t hurt. And actually their car wasn’t hit at all. It was their security car that was following them that sustained the damage.

The kids were on their way to their karate class in a car driven by their nanny Grace Rwaramba, when the paps allegedly smashed into the back of the Escalade they were following. The photographers reportedly did the old hit and run, and after the collision, fled the scene. But other reports say that the security vehicle and the car carrying the Jacksons left the scene to avoid even more papparazzi.  But at least the kids are okay.
