Just asking what this opinion is based on. As co-guardian to MJ's children would not their presence on the show make some sense if the producers are following the brothers around in their lives? Would not the publc at large want to see PPB? Are you sure no one is training PPB to maximize their fame as they are learning these things from experience? There has been a fair amount of controversial publicity about P&P since MJ left us. Could this be a chance for the teenagers to tweek their image if they so chose? How do we know they are not choosing it? Or maybe they'll choose to show up for a cameo or something just as they are, operative word being, choice. How do we know their choices?
The following is not for sensitive people to read. I wonder how much Jackson's have going rate for PPB, in case if I ever need "high profile" kids to support my own failing career?
ah, soh. Starting to make sense although you were obviously kidding it could explain your point of focus. OK. You see it as a “pimping out” so to speak such as you jokingly said you would want to do. That's what I was after. A genuine understanding of someone’s point of view, to explain the reason for this point of focus. I see you bolded the word,
"kids" to indicate they are minors, but did you know that minors can choose to be in show business? So the fact they are kids means to me it is probably best they are working with family. Especially family Michael has loved, respected, protected and worked with himself. Does anyone need links to remind us of these things? If so, just ask.
Are you seriously asking whether Michael would or wouldn't approve?
No, asking what is the basis for stating that he would not approve. I already know that nobody can truly know the answer to whether he would or wouldn’t approve except the kids themselves. He gave them acting lessons, he practiced with them, he unveiled them, he left them with his mother who was already virtual guardian of said cousins, so I'm just asking what did
MJ say, do, write, sing that indicates
he would not approve of his children working with his nephews.
Paris is on record saying she wants to be a heart surgeon.
Are you referring to this information: (you might want to read it a bit closer * means bold is mine)

OTRC: Paris Jackson wants to be a heart surgeon?
Paris Jackson appears on the cover of The Mail on Sunday's Event magazine on April 14, 2013. (The Mail on Sunday / Brian Bower Smith / / twitter.com/ParisJackson/status/303253619837390850/photo/1 / pic.twitter.com/nANKhIfw)

Michael Jackson's 15-year-old daughter Paris Jackson may not follow in her late dad's footsteps and have a career in entertainment after all. She does, however, want to save lives.
The UK newspaper
The Mail on Sunday's Event magazine recently reported that the teenager's ambition is to be a heart surgeon.
* "I want to be an actress but just throughout high school," the outlet quotes her as saying "Then I want to go to medical school and be a doctor specializing in heart surgery. I want to help people, that's it."
Paris had told Glamour magazine in an interview published in its October 2012 issue that she thought about
getting into acting, saying: "A lot of people don't want me to do it. Aunt La Toya believes in me. She heard me play a little guitar and sing, and she started clapping, 'Oh my God, oh my God.' She really does encourage me; it's just awesome of her."
Conrad Murray, the man jailed for involuntary manslaughter after being found guilty of causing the death of Jackson, was a cargiologist and surgeon. The King of Pop died at age 50 on June 25, 2009 from an overdose of medications, including the powerful anesthetic propofol, which were prescribed and administered by Murray, his personal doctor.
The singer's family is preparing for a legal battle against AEG Live, the promoter of a tour the King of Pop was preparing to begin before he died. Jackson's mother Katherine is suing for some $40 billion. She claims the company pressured her son into rehearsing for the concert series despite his poor health and allegedly hired Murray, who was paid $150,000 a month to be his personal doctor for the tour.
AEG Live has denied any wrongdoing and had said Jackson was the one who had chosen the man to be his physician. Jury selection for a civil trial is currently underway. It is possible Jackson's children will be called to testify.
Debbie Rowe reunion
Paris also talks about her late father and her biological mother, Debbie Rowe, in her interview with Event magazine. She turned 15 on April 3 and celebrated her birthday with the woman, who had given up parental rights to her and Prince, her other child with Jackson, Event magazine reported.
"When I'm with my mom, we don't really have security with us," Paris told Event. "Which is really nice. We went shopping around Hollywood. We shopped at Amoeba Records, which was really fun."
Paris talked to Event magazine about the masks Jackson made her, Prince and their brother Blanket wear in public in order to protect their privacy, which she has referenced several times before.
"He didn't want anyone to see what we looked like," she said. "That way we could have what he didn't, which was a normal childhood."
All eyes were on Paris when at age 10, sans mask, she took that stage at a public memorial concert for Jackson at Staples Center in Los Angeles and told a televised audience of millions that "Daddy has been the best father you can ever imagine."
Paris last year shared a photo on Twitter of a
picture collage shrine she had made for Jackson. She told Event she has since removed it, saying: "I had to take it down if I was going to paint my walls."
Prince Jackson - actor
While Paris may be having second thoughts about acting, her 16-year-old brother Prince seems to currently embrace life in front of the camera. He served as a
special correspondent for the entertainment show "Entertainment Tonight" last month and told the outlet that he wants to become a producer, director, screenwriter and actor. Prince is set to make his acting debut on the series finale of the CW show "90210," which is scheduled to air in mid-May. He will play a "a trauma victim in the triage area of an accident scene," the network's parent company, CBS, said in a statement.

Kids at that age have many things that they want to do, and those plans change.
Yes it seems that she discovered a desire to put medical school in her
future. Right now Paris Jackson is an actress who has published footage from her acting class, made a trailer for a movie, been on numerous talk shows, Prince has done ET as on camera talent, aspiring Producer and Beverly Hills 90210. Blanket told his dad on camera he wants to be a Director. These are my reasons for asking what other peoples' reasons are.
Michael unveiling them prior his death doesn't mean that he was going allow his family members to use them as bait to any kind of promotional stuff.
Certainly true. Back to my question: How does anyone know that PPB do not want to work with their cousins on this project? Michael himself did work with these guys, remember? That's why I'm just asking the question.
You know yourself how much he talked about his family and couldn't be around them without them pushing all sort of reunions and stuff,
Michael toured with his family from somewhere round 1965 to somewhere around 1984. He worked daily by blood, sweat and tears the right to say, “Enough Already”. He earned the right to be sick of that routine and branch out. That was his life path. Not his children’s. They have their own life path and will earn their own reasons to be done.
and this is exactly the same with his kids.
How so? His children are just beginning to gain a measure of self chosen exposure and experience bit by bit in a random variety of opportunities here and there. How do we know they are not eager to participate in some measure if they choose? Prince and Paris have voluntarily participated in small measure on television shows with complete strangers. My only question is, do we have any evidence (
evidence) to suggest they nor Michael would intentionally choose to work with 3T? All these top name celebrities' family can do a reality show except MJ's kids? Why should they not? That is a true question if anyone has an opinion on it.
Although they are not used for reunions, but all the same attract attention to less well to do family members.
So, with again, your emphasis being on money, are you saying if 3T had a huge inheritance and were by default as “wealthy” as PPB then it would be something that would have MJ’s approval?
Eventually PPB will grow to understand that they are used as bait to attract attention and could sewer the ties with family because pressure from them.
What evidence do you have of “pressure” from 3T? Since PPB show pictures with their cousins, obviously vacation together and are in one anothers' lives on a daily, are you saying they could not have eagerness about showing up on their show, have an earnest voluntary desire to participate? Did not Blanket say he wanted to be a director? Is exposure to this project something MJ would feel would be bad for Blanket’s stated (to his dad when he was alive) desire to direct?
As for last sentence in your post. Prince and Paris are normal kids and behave like ones too. It is not their fault that they have famous father and everything they said in twitter was published in media
Isn’t it absolutely a choice to set Twitter, FB and all the rest of the social media to private? Why did not the kids do that to keep themselves from being exposed to the world at large? What reason do you think? I know you can’t just KNOW but what reason do you think? Is Entertainment Tonight really more respectable than 3T’s reality show? Its ok for Beverly Hills 90210 to raise it's ratings with Prince on there but not his own cousins. Is that what you’re saying? Michael brought UCLA acting coach to their home but he did not want them working with family on a TV project. Is that what you’re saying?
and by any means, that does not mean that family can start using them as promotional tool to get better deals for themselves.
I guess you’re referring to things like “Pink Drink” and such, which I realize new ventures have no space for failure in the minds of MJ fans, its just I feel we need to be careful in assuming what we don’t know for a fact the steps that led to any of their choices, past, present or future. Do you think maybe we should remember that we’re not privy to not even one meeting at the conference table, on the patio or in the dining room of the Jacksons home? Do we know it was never PPB’s idea to join their cousins? Really? Actor, Actress, Director = PPB. Inexperienced and with a safe place to start? I don’t know but I guess that’s the point of my question. How does anyone? Please send links (ANYONE). Please show me what I’ve missed.
TJ Jackson ?
