JOE JACKSON 'PLANNING TO TOUR GRANDKIDS AS JACKSON THREE'

MICHAEL JACKSON's father JOE is gearing up to transform the King of Pop's three children into superstars - by launching them as THE JACKSON THREE, according to reports.

The Jackson clan patriarch has made no secret of his desire to manage the musical careers of his three grandchildren, telling reporters last week (begs06Jul09) that he saw great potential in his singer son's offspring.

He told reporters, "We should keep them all together and make them happy. And feed them like they're supposed to be fed. And let them get rest... and grow up to be strong Jacksons."

"I keep watching Paris. She wants to do something... (and) Blanket can really dance."

And Jackson, who masterminded his own childrens' careers from an early age, is already putting plans in motion to involve the kids on a world tour next year (10), according to Michael Jackson's biographer Ian Halperin.

He says, "Joe wants the children to go on a world tour in 2010. He has also already offered recording contracts to two of Michael's kids.

"Now he is talking about getting them the world's best backing band and taking them on tour as The Jackson Three."

He adds to Britain's The Sun, "One of the family members is livid. He is saying Joe seems intent to do this no matter what.

"He wants to exploit the kids the same way he did Michael."

And it seems most of the Jackson family are against the idea - Jackson's mum Katherine and ex-wife Debbie Rowe have reportedly agreed a secret deal to keep Joe away from the three children.
