Michael Jackson is reportedly being investigated after allegedly lying to get passports for two of his children.
The eccentric star is accused of telling officials he had sole custody of eight-year-old Prince Michael and Paris, seven, to get the travel documents.
The children's original passports were with a court at the time because their mother Debbie Rowe was suing Jackson for custody.
The children are currently living with the star in Bahrain - where he has spent most of his time since being acquitted of child molestation charges earlier this year.
Website TMZ.com has reported Jackson could face charges of child abduction unless he returns the children to the US, after Rowe allegedly moved to get a court order to bring them home.
A Justice Department source is quoted in Britain's The Sun newspaper as saying: "We can't comment on investigations. But there are specific laws about taking kids out of the country."
Meanwhile the pop legend has reportedly agreed to take part in a reality TV show.
According to a report in Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, Jackson will appear in the pilot and will make guest appearances in the show, which will follow his brother Tito's three sons as they try to make it in the music industry.
