A Jackson family tour is in the works, according to an Internet entertainment site.

Michael Jackson agreed to the tour during a family summit in Las Vegas last week, wrote Fox News entertainment columnist Roger Friedman.

"What was discussed was the family's financial situation and the fact that Jackson has so far been unable to get work in Vegas," said Friedman. "Sources say concert promoter Leonard Rowe of Atlanta, who worked with the Jacksons in the 1980s, was there and made a proposal: a family tour with all members."

The Jackson Five was a fixture on the Strip in the 1970s, when "Jacksonmania" was at its height.

"Michael reluctantly met with his siblings on Monday in Las Vegas. Sisters Janet and Rebbie, as well as Jermaine, Randy, Marlon, Tito and Jackie," wrote Friedman.

TARNISHED GOLD

Jamie Gold, winner of the richest prize in World Series of Poker history, acknowledges that he broke some rules on his way to claiming the $12 million pot.

In his first interview since settling a legal dispute over the winnings, Gold admitted he flashed one of his cards at a competitor and that he tipped off a friend by showing a card.

"I kind of just lost myself, and I regret doing that," Gold told New York Times free-lancer Steve Friess. "And I basically told a friend of mine what I had because I didn't want him to bust out, and that was also really inappropriate. And I'm going to make sure that doesn't happen again. People are just going to have to forgive me."

Gold, a Hollywood producer from Paramus, N.J., was sued by fellow participant Crispin Leyser, who succeeded in getting half the prize money by going to court.

Leyser said he and Gold made a deal going into the poker tournament: Gold would split his winnings in exchange for Leyser's help in recruiting minor celebrities to play in the World Series of Poker under the banner of Gold's sponsor, the poker Web site Bodog.com.
