In the midst of creating his forthcoming ‘comeback’ record, pop giant Michael Jackson has reportedly insisted on a few strict new regimes to help him focus on his music.

One new rule? No children in the studio. The king of pop has three children – interestingly named Prince Michael Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, and Prince Michael Jackson II.

The kids are no longer allowed into the Las Vegas studio where their dad is working, and neither is rumoured girlfriend/nanny Grace Rwaramba.

According to the New York Post, the “Beat It” star is all about the work.

“Michael is producing the album himself and has banned his kids from the recording studio,” a source reveals.

“He realises this is very important and doesn’t want any distractions. He’s not going to be involved in any personal relationships with women until he gets this record done. He’s dumped the nanny – she’s not around any more.”
