Jackson's ex wife denies letting kids go
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 16 - 07 - 2009

An attorney for Michael Jackson's ex-wife Debbie Rowe on Tuesday angrily denied reports that she had agreed to take millions of dollars to give up parental rights to her two children with the King of Pop. In a letter to the New York Post, attorney Eric George said that Rowe, who was married to Michael Jackson from 1996 to 1999 and is the mother of his two oldest children, “has not and will not” give up her parental rights.
In a 2002 will signed by Michael Jackson, he said he had “intentionally omitted” to provide for Rowe. The New York Post reported on Tuesday that Rowe had agreed to take about $4 million to give up her parental rights to children Prince Michael Jr, 12, and Paris, 11.
George's letter states that no agreement has been reached between Rowe and the Jacksons on custody or visitation. Rowe in 2001 sought to give up parental rights to her children, but she later went to court to contest her waiver of those rights and it never went into effect. A custody hearing on Jackson's three children is set for this coming Monday.
Police treating case as homicide
The Los Angeles Police Department is treating Michael Jackson's death as a homicide and is focusing on doctor Conrad Murray, entertainment website TMZ.com reported Wednesday.
The pop icon's family has spoken of “unanswered questions” concerning Murray's role in the final hours of Jackson's life. Murray's lawyers insist he has been cleared of wrongdoing. TMZ, citing “multiple” law enforcement sources, said “the evidence points to the anesthesia Propofol as the primary cause of Jackson's death.”
Law enforcement sources told TMZ there was already “plenty of powerful evidence” pointing to Murray, 51, as the person who administered the drug, whose brand name is Diprivan, to Jackson.
The evidence, TMZ said, includes items found in Jackson's rented mansion, including Propofol, an IV stand and an oxygen tank. The report came after the Los Angeles County Coroner's office subpoenaed the superstar's dermatologist Arnold Klein on Tuesday, seeking “additional medical records” from the physician's Beverly Hills office.
Jackson ‘confronted' by family about drug use
Michael Jackson's family confronted the pop legend about his drug use in an emotional intervention before his death, his brother Tito said in comments published by a British newspaper Wednesday.
Alarmed at reports Jackson was addicted to prescription drugs, Tito said he and his brothers and sisters conducted a military-style raid on the King of Pop's Neverland ranch. “We had to act. It was me, my sisters Janet, Rebbie and La Toya and my brothers Jackie and Randy,” Tito told the Daily Mirror in an interview. “We burst right into the house and...went into one of his private rooms and had a discussion with him. Some of us were crying.”
“He kept denying it,” Tito said. “We also spoke to a doctor and he assured us it was not the situation. He said he was there to make sure Michael was healthy.”
