Debbie Rowe was spotted at her ranch home looking upset on the day of the memorial service held for her former husband Michael Jackson. Rowe appeared tearful and was said to have been watching the service at the ranch on TV, after turning down tickets to attend the public memorial.

A source said, "She couldn't stop crying. Her friends were hugging her but for a few minutes she couldn't even control herself." Rowe is the biological mother of Jackson's two older children, Prince Michael I and Paris Katherine. Whether or not she launches a custody claim for them is yet to be seen after Jackson left the guardianship of the children to his mother, Katherine. Rowe's parenthood has been questioned along with Jackson's in the days since his death but she has made a statement insisting she is the mother of Jacko's eldest two children. Jacko spoke about his relationship with Rowe in a controversial interview with UK journalist Martin Bashir. He said that Rowe gave him the children as a gift after seeing how much he wanted to be a father. And he recalled that Rowe saw him carrying around dolls in his arms because he desperately wanted to be a parent. The singer also claimed that Paris' blue eyes could have been inherited from Rowe or could have been the result of his father's "genes" since his father, Joe, has light-coloured eyes.

Didn't anyone ever wonder WHY Michael didn't allow Debbie Rowe to be the mother of his 3rd child, Blanket? She and Arnie Klein probably decieved him in a plot about the first 2 that she did mother and he leveraged them by having Blanket, his natural child, with a mother who was kept completely out of the picture altogether. Now Debbie, encouraged by Arnie, is looking for the big pay day-and Arnie is all over TV suggesting that he could be the father of Prince and Paris-even saying he'll take a DNA test. He obviously wants Debbie to get her hands on the money connected to the children so he can also benefit in the future. If they schemed against Michael from the start, it appears he found it out and could threaten them with making Blanket the sole heir if they tried anything. Hopefully, the Jacksons will keep these creeps from getting their hand on the lovely children-all 3 of them.
