La Toya Jackson and Victoria “Posh” Beckham have both been lined up to appear on women’s talkshow The View.
ABC announced Jackson will be a guest co-host on the September 16 and 18 airings of the popular program featuring veteran journalist and interviewer Barbara Walters.
The pair fill a temporary void left by Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who is on maternity leave until October to care for her newborn.
Beckham, who will appear on September 14, has just taped as a guest judge for American Idol and appears to be finally getting her US break.
The View regulars include Walters, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar and Sherri Shepherd.
Michael Jackson’s brothers and sisters are planning rehearsals to perform at least one of the late King of Pop’s scheduled shows, according to U.S. reports.
Sisters Janet and LaToya are looking to join the remaining Jackson 5 brothers to perform a tribute on July 13, the day Jacko would have played his first comeback show at London’s O2 arena.
“If all goes well, the Jacksons are looking to fill at least five of the 50 gigs their superstar brother was scheduled to perform on his sold-out comeback series,” a report said.
A family member told the paper: “We might do the 13th or a date in August with Jan and Toya.
“It’ll be good and we’ll do it right for Michael.”
The stars, including brothers Tito, Jermaine, Jackie and Marlon, are putting aside their differences and are working on the choreography to back up songs and dance numbers Michael already worked on.
They are even looking at a world tour after playing at the O2, a family source said.
With the first concert date looming and with Jackson’s memorial-service extravaganza on Tuesday, the famous siblings are racing the clock.
“They’re working on keeping the tour going,” said another family source.
A scene from Sacha Baron Cohen’s new movie Bruno has been pulled before its premiere in the US as it featured La Toya Jackson and made reference to her brother Michael Jackson.
In the scene, La Toya was falsely lured into having an interview with the phoney Austrian journalist.
However, a source at Universal, who are behind the film, revealed that the scene will be taken out of the movie before its US premiere out of respect for the family.
Meanwhile, it is claimed that fans were unable to pay their respects and leave tributes at Michael’s star on the Walk of Fame as crews had set the area up for the Bruno premiere.
