THE JACKSON FIVE MIGHT REUNITE

Michael Jackson is reforming the Jackson 5, it has been claimed.The eccentric singer is said to have been visited in Las Vegas by his brothers, Jackie, Jermaine, Tito and Marlon, who put forward the idea of getting the band back together for a tour.Michael's sisters Janet and Rebbie, and his other brother Randy - who was part of the Jacksons - were also at the family reunion and are keen on joining their siblings for a Jackson family tour.US gossip columnist Roger Friedman said: "A successful Jackson family tour could change everything for Michael. It would also be a financial boon for the whole family. The tour idea also works for Janet, whose last two albums have been huge disappointments."The idea of Michael and Janet performing a couple of duets, or Janet'sbrothers backing her on her own hits would be a tantalising prospect."Michael has been desperate to re-launch his career since being acquitted of child sex charges in 2005. He was previously in talks about a live residency at a major Las Vegas hotel and casino but the negotiations have since stalled.

COURTNEY LOVE MAY JOIN AMERICAN IDOL

Courtney Love has been invited to be a judge on 'American Idol'.The former Hole singer has revealed the hit TV show's executive producer Nigel Lythgoe called her last week to ask if she'd be interested in joining Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson on the judging panel. Courtney told Us Weekly magazine: "He called. He was wondering if I was interested. I thought it was kind of weird but brilliant."It is not known if Courtney will be joining the existing three judges to choose America's next singing sensation, or if Lythgoe is considering replacing Paula. Paula - known for her bitter ongoing feud with Simon - has fuelled rumors that she is battling substance abuse by appearing in a series of interviews this January where she was seen swaying and slurring her words. A representative for 'American Idol' was not available for comment.
