Michael Jackson and his three children, all unveiled, got the VIP tour of “Bodies … The Exhibition” on Wednesday and went home with a miniature skeleton.

Jackson stopped at one point to lecture his children on the evils of smoking after they viewed a smoker’s lung. Later, he stressed the importance of healthy eating.

After taking a tour of “Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition,” they stopped in the gift shop and purchased everything from a 33-inch skeleton to anatomy and pathology books to T-shirts featuring bones, brains and “a thinker.”

Could you just imagine – Michael Jackson and Prince in a co-headlining tour? We’ll keep trying to fathom it.

A British newspaper reported Wednesday that Jackson had approached Prince with a proposal to perform a string of concerts together that would help re-launch his career, and that the Purple One turned him down cold.

However, Jackson’s rep Raymone K. Bain told EUR’s Lee Bailey Thursday that the entire story is completely untrue.

Britain’s The Sun newspaper claimed Michael was overheard complaining about Prince’s snub while putting in his appearance last weekend at the Sultan of Brunei’s son’s 25th birthday party, for which he was paid £5 million.

The paper quoted sources who said Prince turned down the offer over concern that the hype surrounding Michael’s comeback would overshadow the concerts, and he wasn’t trying to come off as anyone’s supporting act.

Bain, however, tells EUR that Jackson has not spoken to Prince and the entire article is a fabrication.

“The article is completely false. These respective publications remain consistent in that reporters did not contact us regarding the validity of the story before writing it,” Bain says. “Mr. Jackson has not approached Prince to perform with him on a ‘planned comeback tour.’ There have been no discussions with Prince. Period. We have been consistent in stating that Mr. Jackson is readying his music for release, which is his main priority at this time.”
