Michael Jackson is gone, but definitely not forgotten and his three kids want to ensure that his life's work lives on. The kids, Prince Michael, 14, Paris, 12, and nine-year-old Prince Michael II, who is known as Blanket, also hope to become performers.

Asked what they want to do in the future, Prince Michael said: “I guess continue what our dad was doing.”

Paris added in an interview with Good Morning America which will be broadcast tomorrow: “I’m thinking about auditioning for a play next week.”

Michael’s brother Jackie – who was a member of sibling pop group Jackson 5 alongside the King of Pop –recently revealed his family joke with the children that they need to “get busy” if they want a showbiz career. He said: "I told the kids, 'You better get busy because when we were your age we were selling out concerts.' "

Jackie also said the three children are constantly asking questions about their famous father.
He said: "They are around their father 24 hours a day. They have pictures in the bedroom. They talk about him all the time. They ask me for stories about him. They want to know more about him."

will.i.am and Michael Jackson's Unfinished Songs Would Never Be Released

Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am yearns for fans to hear the songs he recorded with the late Michael Jackson before he died, because the collaborative experience was "awesome". The hip-hop star was one of a handful of producers who hit the studio with the "Thriller" legend in the months leading up to his untimely death in preparation for his big pop comeback.

But Jackson passed away in June 2009 and will.i.am vowed to keep the unfinished tracks under wraps out of respect for the perfectionist. The rapper recently blasted the release of Jackson's first posthumous album, "Michael", insisting the superstar would never have wanted fans to hear the songs before they were officially complete.

He said, "Whoever put it out and is profiting off of it, I want to see how cold they are. To say that what (Jackson) contributed during his life wasn't enough. He just wasn't any ordinary artist. He was a hands-on person. To me it's disrespectful. Michael Jackson songs are finished when Michael says they're finished. Maybe if I never worked with him I wouldn't have this perspective. He was very particular about how he wanted his vocals, the reverb he used... he was that hands-on."

And although will.i.am wishes he could showcase some of his work with Jackson, he is adamant it will never happen. He tells London newspaper Metro, "I actually wish the songs could come out but that's like wishing Michael was alive - and I know he didn't want them to (be released unfinished)."

"Working together was awesome. Michael was meticulous, mega-critical: 'Turn that snare down, bring that microphone down - can you bring me some ice?' And it was dope (amazing). I swear to God, that happened."

Report: Michael Jackson's Kids Watched Him Die

A devastating headline is circulating around following a second-day hearing on Michael Jackson's death. People reports a former employee testified on Wednesday, January 5 that two of Michael's children, Paris and Prince, stormed into his bedroom when Dr. Conrad Murray made an attempt to revive him. 

"Paris screamed, 'Daddy,' and she started crying," Alberto Alvarez, a logistics director for Jackson said.
As Alberto told this,Janet Jackson shook her head while mom Katherine Jackson dabbed away tears. Michael, according to Alberto, was on his back with eyes and mouth open while Dr. Conrad performed a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Alberto said the personal physician shouted, "Get them out! Get them out! Don't let them see their father like this." 

Alberto also revealed that he was instructed to remove bottles of a milky-white substance from the singer's room before calling emergency services. He said, "He instructed me to remove the IV bag from the IV stand." However, Conrad reportedly told Alberto to leave a second IV bag containing saline where it was. 

The milky-white substance is believed to be Propofol, a powerful anaesthetic which killed Michael. Conrad told Alberto that the King of Pop had an "allergic reaction" and ordered him to collect the bottles around the room in a bag. 

The preliminary hearings in Los Angeles are held to find whether there's enough evidence for an involuntary manslaughter charge against Conrad.
