Update! Will Janet Jackson Be The Guardian Of Michael's Children?!

Sources say that prior to his death, Michael Jackson had spoken to Janet about being his children's guardian with help from their Mother Katherine..Details below:

Janet Jackson has put her bid in for custody of the late singer, Michael's, three children.

Michael allegedly discussed his wishes for his children with Janet before his passing. The singer was even planning to draft a new will with different custody details in relation to Paris, 12, Prince MIchael I, 11, and Price Michael II, seven, in the event he passed, according to ContactMusic.com.

An unidentified source said: "There was a lot of rifts in the family, but Janet was the one person he spoke to regularly and he made sure the children kept in touch with her too.

"Ultimately, he wanted Janet to look after the children, with help from his mother Katherine, and was planning to draft a new will to reflect those wishes. He trusted Janet implicitly.

"When he had health concerns, he had a talk with Janet about how much she meant to him and the children, and how if anything happened to him, he wanted her to make sure the children would be loved and cared for in the same way he was raising them. She told him of course she would."

Michael's most recent will was written in 2002 and named the family matriarch, Katherine, as the guardian. However, Janet, who took the children to the family home to gather their belongings after the singer's death last month, has the support of her siblings to take custody of the children.

The source added to Britain's Grazia magazine: "The family think this could be a great idea - they are supportive of Katherine, but although she is in good health, she is nearly 80 and they are worried she is not up to the task.

"Janet is blossoming into a woman with tremendous untapped maternal instincts. The children automatically turn to her for comfort and direction."
