Michael Jackson's Kids Talk About Him 'All The Time'

[malagaaunike]

Even in death, Michael Jackson is still a major presence in his children's lives.

"They are around their father 24 hours a day," Michael's brother, Jackie Jackson, told PEOPLE recently. "They have pictures in the bedroom. They talk about him all the time. They ask me stories about him. They want to know more about him."

The pop star's three kids – Prince, Paris and Prince Michael, aka Blanket – are "doing really well," Jackie said, adding that they are interested in getting into the entertainment business. Prince wants to be a director, while Paris wants to be an actress.

"I told the kids, 'You better get busy because when we were your age we were selling out concerts,' " Jackie joked, referring to the famed Jackson 5 era.

The children have embraced that era of their father's life, with Prince even donning a Jackson 5 shirt to a recent Los Angeles Lakers game he attended with Jackie. The black shirt is a part of the J5 collection that Jackson’s brothers launched.

"We had thousands of photos that had never really been seen and we wanted to make use of them," Jackie said at the MAGIC fashion convention in Las Vegas.

The clothing line, in its second season, uses images of the famed band and puts them on t-shirts, tank tops and jackets. Michael's children especially love the shirts, said Jackie.

"They like to see us as little kids," he said. "We were the same age they are and we were doing our thing."

Michael Jackson's signature style simply refuses to "Beat It."

The King of Pop sparked plenty of fashion trends before his death in July, 2009, with his red leather zippered jacket proving to be especially iconic. Now, his brothers and fellow Jackson 5 members Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Randy, are launching the J5 Collection, featuring T-shirts and jackets for men and women.

Set to hit stores in February, styles will include replicas of Jackson's "Beat It" and "Thriller" leather jackets, starting at $900, and T-shirts -- with 24 vintage Jackson 5 images spanning four decades -- will run between $45 and $55.

Just what images, you ask? Think the quintet's first newspaper article from the '60s, Afro funk graphics from the '70s, art from the 1984 Victory Tour, and more.

"I've been wanting to do this for a long time. I've seen other friends be successful with their lines, like Puffy with Sean John," eldest brother Jackie Jackson, the driving force behind the project, tells Women's Wear Daily. "I've been in this business for a long time and our name is known around the world."

The men's line is slated to include short-sleeve crew T-shirts in jersey and triblend, jersey short-sleeve V-necks, and long-sleeve raglans with jersey sleeves.

For the female fans, the J5 Collection will offer raglans in short and long sleeves, racer-back jersey tanks, scoop-neck jersey T-shirts, and jersey crop tees.

Now, about those jackets that helped make Michael famous.

The "Thriller" style is done in red leather with black detailing and a "V" design on the back. The "Beat It" jacket comes in red or white leather, with chain mail detailing, diagonal zipper designs, and detachable sleeves.

The J5 Collection will be available in stores including Urban Outfitters, PacSun, and Kitson Men in late February, WWD reports, and sooner at j5collection.com.

As for sparkly silver gloves, white socks, and penny loafers? We'll just have to wait.

In the meantime, ever wonder what it would be like to help dress Michael Jackson? Stylist Phillip Bloch lets you in on the behind-the-scenes action.
