Michael Jackson's sister La Toya has taken charge of the careers of the King of Pop's three children, signing them onto her talent agency which boasts of no other client.

After the family feud last summer in which she was not involved, La Toya, 56, has moved in on the heirs to the fortune, taking sanctuary in the family's Calabasas, California mansion with Prince, 16, Paris, 15, and Blanket, 10.

"They needed comfort with everyone showing their wild side, so they watched television together, they listened to music and they talked about what Mike would want. Mostly, it was Toya doing all the talking," said a family insider.
 

La Toya has signed all three kids to her Ja-Tail Enterprises talent agency, reported New York Post.

Prince recently signed with 'Entertainment Tonight' through Ja-Tail to be a correspondent. La Toya, who has named her two poodles after Prince and Paris, watched over in the 'ET' studios last week as Prince made his debut.

La Toya also signed Prince to appear on the CW's remake of 'Beverly Hills 90210'.

Paris has inked a movie deal that will have her shooting later this year in London.

La Toya, who gets a standard 15 per cent commission on each deal, is also negotiating a reality TV show.

OWN, Oprah Winfrey's network, is thought to be the front-runner to land the series that would feature Jackson's children, La Toya and cameos by family matriarch Katherine.
