Michael Jackson wanted Janet to take care of kids

Pop legend Michael Jackson wanted his singer sister Janet to take care of his three children, according to a report.

The Thriller hitmaker had reportedly discussed his wishes for his kids - Prince Michael I, 12, Paris, 11, and Prince Michael II, 7, known as 'Blanket' - in the event of his death and was even planning to draft a new will to amend custody details and put Janet in charge, reports contactmusic.com.

"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," said a source.

"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," the source added.

Jackson's most recent will, written in 2002, named Katherine as the children's guardian but Janet who accompanied the children to their family home to retrieve their belongings after the singer's death June 25 has the support of her siblings in taking over as their guardia
