As the two-and-a-half year anniversary of Michael Jackson's death approaches, the pop star's children are keeping busy carrying on his legacy.

Prince, Paris, and Blanket recently attended a taping of The X Factor, checked out the Las Vegas opening of Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour by Cirque du Soleil and the Michael Jackson Fan Fest memorabilia exhibit. And now Paris, 13, has landed her first acting role in the film Lundon's Bridge and the Three Keys.

'They're doing well,' their uncle Marlon reveals.

Much of the credit for their happiness goes to their grandmother, Katherine, who has been raising the kids since their father's death.

While they may be mini-celebs with multimillion-dollar trust funds reportedly waiting for them when they turn 30 the kids are leading relatively normal lives.

After years of home-schooling, Prince, 14, and Paris now attend a private school.
But the real passion for all three kids is entertainment. While Paris is focused on acting, her brothers are into filmmaking.
