Joe Jackson suspects foul play in the death of his son, saying he "just couldn't believe what was happening to Michael"—and he tells ABC News, “I do believe it was foul play. I do believe that. Yes.” The Jackson patriarch, whose interview airs on Primetime: Family Secrets Tuesday, is also adamant that Michael’s kids should be raised by him and wife Katherine, and he seems to be planning their showbiz careers already.

“I don’t know—I keep watching Paris. She wants to do something,” he says. “And as far as I can see, well, they say Blanket, he can really dance.” (More Michael Jackson stories.)
