Biographer Ian Halperin has just released some exciting news: Michael Jackson’s father Joe is already making plans to send his three grandchildren on tour to continue Michael’s legacy. We should trust Ian because he says he’s getting the news from someone “extremely close to the family”.  He’s also the dude who back in December, predicted the exact month of Michael’s death.

According to Ian, Joe is already working on getting recording contracts for the more cooperative kids, Paris and Blanket. He’s still beating talking 12-year-old Prince into going along with the idea. Just to get geared up, he’s also started casually shopping around for backing bands to play with the kids.

Joe might hit a few road blocks turning his dream into a reality, however. Rumor has it that his wife Katherine and the biological mother of the kids, Debbie Rowe are teaming up to keep his hands off of the new potential money bags. Sources say that Debbie is even looking into possibly getting a restraining order to legally keep Joe away. If the women are unsuccessful, the Jackson 3’s world tour will begin in 2010.
