Members of the scandal-prone show-biz household that brought you "ABC," "I Want You Back" and La Toya are teaming with CBS for a reality show about the search for a new band of brothers, if not cousins

CBS is in for at least eight episodes of the all-in-the-family competition to be called Pop Dynasty, the network confirmed Wednesday. No launch date was announced. Nor was any Michael or Janet Jackson.

As first reported by Variety, the still-in-the-works show will be fronted by three members of the Jackson family's B-team: Jermaine, Tito and La Toya.

The siblings, all now in their 50s, will serve as judges, à la American Idol's Simon, Randy and Paula.

The biggest name mentioned in the Variety story belonged not to a member of the actual Jackson family, but to Oscar winner Jamie Foxx, said to be one of the project's behind-the-scene players, along with Jermaine Jackson.

A rep for Michael Jackson, the family's biggest hit-maker, didn't return a call Wednesday gauging his potential interest or involvement in Pop Dynasty.
