Michael Jackson Dead

[beeniesmom]

I think the mom of the kids is a lady named Debbie Rowe.
She was the assistant of Jackson's detrmatologist who he ended up marrying not long after his divorce from Presley. I think she signed away her right to custody when the kids were little and they eventually divorced too.

Is Priscilla Presley the mother of the children? And if not, who is?

Does she (whoever she is) have any right to custody of the children?

No - Debbie Rowe is the mother of the 2 oldest. She was a nurse and MJ was married to her for a time. Nobody seems to know who the mother of the youngest is - MJ never revealed that.

I would think that DR would have more right to the children than MJ's parents, but I'll bet she's still going to be in for a long and difficult battle if she files to take custody. I sure wouldn't want to see those kids raised by the likes of MJ's father - as abusive as he was to his own kids.

Michaels mother and father have been estranged for 10 years so he would not be raising them if the mother gets them, he lives in Las Vegas.

I didn't know that - just know that he's evil - IMO.

And that poor woman is 79 years old, so I imagine the rest of the clan would end up with the kids anyway. I just hope it doesn't turn into a battle, for the sake of the kids.

He named Diana Ross as second to his mother to care for the children.

i seriously wonder if Dianna Ross would want to take on three children at her age, she is older than me, but of course she would have nannies i suppose, he obviously trusted his mother, and i am relieved and glad to hear that Joe Jackson and her are not together, i never knew that either.

I heard another rumour that Debbie Rowe said she was not the mother of the children,don't know where that came from and yes we never knew who was the mother of the youngest child.

i watched his rehearsel video, gosh one would never think two days later he would be dead, it seems to me to be drug related for sure, whether her over dosed accidentally or on purpose who really knows,and will we ever i wonder.

Hollywierd scuttlebut is the Jackson Memorial Service will have a $25 cover charge, T-shirts will be sold outside of the venue, and 700+ cops for crowd controll.

Disregaurding all the pedo charges over the years, I find this distasteful.

Don't believe everything you hear. I have heard it will be free, and the family will be giving away the tickets. It being Los Angeles, I am sure there will be plenty of "entrepreneurs" packing the site trying to sell any souvenir they can manage to produce. And no amount of police presence is going to be able to prevent that. Good or bad, his life was a media circus, and I am sure his death will continue to cause one.

If I believed it I wouldnt have called it scuttlebut. Even if the Memorial is free, I find it distastefull that some will try to profit on Jacksons death by selling souvenirs outside of the venue.

I also hope the scuttlebut about the extra police officers is wrong as well.

I spent the day at the Jersey shore yesterday and the MJ t-shirts were already on the boardwalk, one saying "The Thrill(er) is gone." Thankfully I saw no one buying them or wearing them. I was amazed the year that Elvis died. We were on vacation in Williamsburg, Va and within hours of his death there were t-shirts for sale. Death is a moneymaker for some for sure.

That's the name of the drug found recently in MJ's house.

Lovely drug - I can say that because I've had it.

When I had my carpal tunnel surgery in March, I was given 3 drugs to put me out. Fentanyl, Versed and Propofol. The Anesthesiologist told me that Diprivan would cause me to wake up with a smile on my face - and it did.

It's not a drug commonly found in people's medicine cabinets - because it can only be given intravenously. And it doesn't make one sleep - it makes one comatose. There is a difference.

You know, I feel bad for the family and everyone else concerned. I've never been a fan of Michael Jackson although I recognize that he had a talent that no one else has or ever will have. It will be years before they let him RIP.

That being said, I'm sick of hearing about him already and it's only be over a week. I think I'll turn my attention to the food channel.

[carole]

you know i guess we all do get sick of hearing about him, but in some ways it keeps his memory alive longer, what i mean by that is ,someone dies and then you don't hear about them again, seems like they are simply forgotten so quickly, although i know some of it is not good things we are hearing, i still find it interesting, he was a complex individual it seems, and i actually want to know more about him.

As for people making money out of his death, well there is always someone out there ready to make a quick buck,that's life i guess, but yes it is somewhat distastful i guess, but then the fans are the people who will buy the t shirts, and i am sure they are more than happy that they are available, i would be if i were a fan, anyhow thats my take on it.

At the end of the day, people wouldn't produce/sell stuff if people wouldn't buy it! Same is true of the media. Everyone complains but it's supply and demand on it's most basic level. If the public didn't demand it, there would be no market. You can't have it both ways. RIP MJ.

[carole]

you hit the nail on the head there, so right.
