They should put the kids in the sanctuary with Bubbles.

I hear that the family is fighting amongst themselves, as usual.

I agree. The kids should stay together. Their lives will have many challenges; they should be able to look to one another for support.

Michael knew something about Rowe that he didn't want the children to be with her. And from Rowe's side...kaching $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Money talks.

[Most people are buried 3 days after the death or less. His body was released days ago. It was become a circus ]

michael jackson is not 'most people'.

they did an autopsy ... most people don't have autopsies done after their death.

in many cases the logistics of getting everyone that would likely attend the services take time ... and in his case ... likely more time.

in other cases holiday and weekends are a problem. in his case where he's going to be buried is even a problem.

What kind of mother completely gives up her kids?
The kind that takes money in exchange for her kids. If someone will offer her more money she will give up the kids again.

THIS WOMAN JUST WANTS ANOTHER CHECK. I MEAN SHE GAVE UP ALL OF RIGHTS TO THEM FOR A PAYDAY. SHE WAS MARRIED JUST TO HAVE THOSE CHILDREN FOR HIM AND THEN SHE GOT HER MONEY AND LEFT NEVER TO LOOK BACK AT THEM AND NOW SHE WANTS TO TALK ABOUT TAKING CUSTODY OF HER CHILDREN SHE DON'T KNOW THEM AND THEY DON'T KNOW HER EITHER TELL HER TO GO BACK UNDER THE ROCK THAT SHE CAME FROM UNDER---- MOMMA JACKSON AND DIANNA ROSS ARE MORE THAN QUALIFIED PEOPLE TO RAISE THOSE CHILDREN WITH THE LOVE THAT MJ WOULD LIKE THEM TO HAVE

He left her out of the will for a reason. What's the point of having a will if some judge is going to refurbish it. His choices should stand, that is if his mother or Diana wants them. And yes, they should not be separated, especially if the biological mother is doing this out of her best interest instead of the children's.

Yup. Aside from that, his rehersal video was awesome and I'm not even a fan. While I didn't dislike his music, just not my genre of choice to follow or purchase - The video showed he still had amazing talent to dance and sing and it's too bad he was too mentally unstable to carry on with it after the whole trial mess - (and no. I don't know if he was guilty or innocent in an absolute sense - wasn't there as an eyewitness, he was acquitted, so it's not for me to judge any further)
All I can do is give credit where it's due, and even though it wasn't my style of music, he was one of the most talented entertainers in his field. It's a shame Debbie Rowe is considering going against his wishes when she's publicly stated time and time again, that "I am not their mother".

"She said she hoped to keep the children together and would be willing to take custody of Blanket as well, but admitted that outcome was unlikely."


Those children should NOT be separated.

Debbie Rowe should be the last person to get these kids. What kind of mother completely gives up her kids? And wouldn't you think that if she REALLY cared about those children, she would have come forward IMMEDIATELY after he died?

Initially she didn't really want the children.

But I guess now that the will has been revealed and it is clear that much of Jackson's wealth goes to the children, some lawyers have convinced her to get custody of the kids.

It would really have been the perfect story if Michael biologically fathered kids with his first wife Lisa Marie Presley (Elvis' daughter). Wonder how talented the offspring would have been?

What is your point? Don't funerals usually take about a week to happen. I mean if your Jewish or Muslim maybe a few days but the average funeral takes this long. Where was she before Michael died? Why was she not in court fighting for those children. Why did she take 10 mill bucks to have those children. Give me a break!

Michael has been dead for a week and has crazy family has just made funeral arrangements. Perhaps all three children would be better off with Rowe. She doesn't seem to be caught up in the celebrity world.

I think she would like custody of the $$$$ that will be coming in the future from their fathers' royalties!
