Debbie Rowe prepares to gain custody of 'Jackson kids'

Debbie Rowe, the mother of Michael Jackson's two older children, is apparently drawing up plans to gain custody of the children.

The former nurse, who married the King of Pop in 1996 and filed for divorce three years later, made her first public appearance at her California ranch since the star's death at his Los Angeles home on June 25.

Her decision to appear in public was suggested as the first stage of a bitter PR battle with the Jackson family over the custody of Prince Michael I, 12, Paris, 11, and for seven-year-old Blanket, who is not her child.

"They are my flesh and blood. I am going after my children," the Daily Star quoted her as saying from the doors of her bungalow.

The 50 year-old said that she was ready to undergo a DNA test to prove her biological claim to the older Jackson kids, and that the singer was not their father.

She said: "Michael was divorced, lonely and wanted children. I was the one who said to him: 'I will have your babies.' I offered him my womb - it was a gift. It was something I did to keep him happy. I was just the vessel. It wasn't Michael's sperm. I got paid for it, and I've moved on."

Debbie recently won a postponement of a court custody hearing scheduled for July 6.

Jackson hired 'day team and night team' of nannies for Prince Michael

Late King of Pop Michael Jackson, who died of a suspected cardiac arrest last week, had reportedly employed a 'day team and night team' of nannies to look after his eldest son Prince Michael.

The 'Thriller' sensation was said to be desperate to ensure that Prince Michael was properly cared for after his birth in 1997, and thus hired 12 people so that someone would always be with his son, reports the China Daily.

"The baby was cared for by a team of six nannies and six nurses, who worked in shifts so that there were always two nurses and two nannies by his side," a source who worked at Michael's Neverland Ranch said.

"They were kept under constant video surveillance, which was monitored by members of Jackson's security team. The nannies all had special training.

"The day-team did exercise drills with the baby to build up his strength. The night-team read and sang to him," the source added.

Concerned about his child's well-being, adds the newspaper report, Jackson even ordered the nannies to throw away the boy's toys each evening to guard against germs.

A nanny revealed: "We had to measure the air quality in his room once an hour. When we fed him, all the utensils had to be boiled and were all thrown away after a single use."

Prince Michael was the singer's first child with his ex-wife Debbie Rowe.

King of Pop Michael Jackson to be buried in a 25,000 dollars coffin?

King of Pop Michael Jackson is likely to be buried in a 25,000 dollars solid bronze casket, just like soul legend James Brown.

Known as the Promethean, the coffin has a hand-polished 14-carat gold-plate finish and blue velvet-lined interior, reported thesun.co.uk.

It is the same model chosen by relatives of James Brown for the Godfather of Soul's burial. The coffin is made by the Indiana-based Batesville Casket Company.

After Brown died at 73 on Christmas Day 2006, Jackson visited the Georgia funeral home where he was in repose and studied the various caskets available.

Mischa Barton kicked out by toilet attendant!

Mischa Barton was left embarrassed after she was kicked out by a toilet attendant for dragging a friend into the toilet stall with her, it has emerged.

The 23-year-old actress was out with five friends and her new boyfriend at Whisky Mist nightclub in Mayfair, London, when she tried to drag friend Bridget into the toilet stall with her.

As they tried to go into the toilet stall, they were stopped by the toilet attendant, who kicked the actress out of the loo.

According to the Daily Mail, the attendant was later forced to knock on the door repeatedly, when Barton took too long in the stall solo.

"Then her mate was knocking to check she was feeling okay," the New York Daily News quoted an onlooker as saying.

"When she came out of the cubicle she was complaining about people knocking on the door. She looked slightly worse for the wear as she attempted to apply her make-up," the onlooker added.
