Now that Michael Jackson is gone there is a heightened interest in the Jackson family as a whole, and the A&E network has decided to showcase the Jackson: A Family Dynasty on Sunday, Dec. 13th, at 9 p.m.

A&E will have a six show run and two-hour episodes. The show will include brothers Jermaine, Tito, Marlon and Jackie as they prepare for a reunion tour across the U.S. with what was supposed to also include a performance Michael Jackson in Texas next summer. The shooting of the TV show started up again after the death of MJ in June and these episodes will talk about their personal reaction and emotion to the situation of their brother’s sudden death.

In a 30 second preview of the show, tagged “You only think you know them,” the brothers can be heard in voiceover discussing their comeback.

“It’s been 20 years since we were in the studio,” one says. “How are we going to make this happen?” another replies.

“I never wanted to hurt y’all; I never wanted to be separated,” a third pleads over stock footage of their modest upbringing in Gary, Indiana, as the phrase “The wait is over” flashes on the screen.

“We’ve never forgotten where we come from,” another says. “What do we got? Each other. Let’s show them who we are.”

This touching footage of the Jacksons living their American Dream will give us an inside look of these superstars’ reality. No word on whether or not Jackson’s three children (Prince Michael, Paris and Prince Michael II) will be included the show.  In the meantime, peep the trailer after the break!

In related news, Kelly is demanding an apology from the MOBO Awards after her and David’s performance of “When Love Takes Over” was briefly disrupted due to some technical difficulties with the sound.

Just seconds into a rendition of her current duet with David Guetta, “When Love Takes Over,” at the awards honoring Music of Black Origin, Rowland encountered some technical difficulties with her sound and did what any seasoned pro would do: She stopped singing and stood there looking confused. Granted, her gormless expression lasted just a few seconds—during which time her background dancers can be seen furiously motioning offstage—before resuming the tune, but the same can’t be said for her anger.

Jackson’s brothers, Randy, Marlon, Tito, Jackie and Jermaine, wheeled his gold casket to the front of the service once they arrived, and his three children, Prince Michael, Paris and Prince Michael Jr., placed a gold crown on top of the flowers adorning it. They also wrote letters to their father that were placed inside of his casket, alongside one of his signature white gloves.

Celebrities among the attending guests were, of course, the Jackson family, Chris Tucker, Elizabeth Taylor, Quincy Jones, Berry Gordy, Macaulay Culkin, Rev. Al Sharpton, MJ’s ex wife Lisa Marie Presley and Gladys Knight, who sang a gospel song after a prayer by Pastor Lucius Smith.

Michael Jackson’s rumored fourth child Omer Bhatti is requesting a DNA test to find out whether or not he is truly the child of the late King of Pop. Omer, 25, was brought to attention after he sat in the front row of Jackson’s memorial service. Meanwhile, rumors stated that Jackson fathered Bhatti in 1984 after a one night stand. Reports also state that Omer’s mother is also the mother of Blanket, Jackson’s 7-year-old son.

MJ’s brother Jermaine Jackson states that if Omer is indeed his brother’s son, that he will be welcomed into the family:

“If Omer’s his son, he’s his son. We won’t deny it. We are going to give him the same amount of love and care that we give Prince and Paris and Blanket. I can’t clearly say if he is Michael’s but I saw this kid around him.”
