Debbie Rowe has definitely stated that Prince, 12, and Paris Jackson, 11, the two children she carried for Michael Jackson, are biologically hers. There had been several reports earlier this week that the children were not Debbie’s and she was essentially a surrogate (she was Jackson’s wife at the time, and most people thought she was their biological mother). However Debbie and her lawyer had been very wishy washy about seeking custody of the children until today, when she told an L.A. NBC affiliate that she is going to try to get guardianship and custody - and says that she is definitely their biological mother.

Debbie also says that while she is currently allowed visitation with them, it’s a “difficult process.” Almost as noteworthy as the custody issue is her statement that she will also be seeking a restraining order against Joe Jackson to keep him away from the children.

Debbie Rowe wants custody of the two children she had with Michael Jackson. “I want my children,” Rowe said during a 90-minute phone conversation Thursday morning with NBCLA’s Chuck Henry. Rowe said she was willing to submit to any testing, including DNA to prove that she is the children’s true biological mother. Rowe also said she would submit to psychological testing.

She also said she would seek a restraining order to keep Jackson’s father, Joe Jackson, away from the children.

Props to Eva Longoria for not buying in to the hype.

Since the outbreak of the swine flu, Mexico has effectively been kicked in the balls with regard to tourism, with fancy pants the world over fearing either infection, or getting shot by the cartels…or getting shot by the cartels with swine-flu infected bullets.

But some celebs have decided to set the record straight by rocking these Alejandro Fernandez-designed shirts, reading:

“Muñecas como ésta vacacionan en México.”

Eva isn’t the only one wearing these threads, aimed at reviving Mexico’s crippling tourism industry. Apparently, even J. Lo and Enrique Iglesias have thrown their weight in. Who knew?

Tens of thousands of Michael Jackson fans will flock to this Los Angeles arena on Tuesday for the star’s funeral.

It was originally thought the service would take place at his former home, the Neverland Ranch, complete with a public viewing.

Thousands flocked to the Santa Barbara estate and began camping out for a spot at the ceremony.

But Jackson family members decided against displaying his body and switched the venue to  the Staples Center — the 20,000 capacity home of the LA Lakers basketball team, and where the star was rehearsing for his comeback concerts.

Michael Bay is on top of the world. As the director of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Bay is getting a lot of the credit for the film’s $201 million five-day opening. It’s the second most profitable five-day opening in the history of films, second only to The Dark Knight. Bay has always reminded me of a cheesier, more commercial version of Titanic director James Cameron - they both seem to have the same kind of hubris, the same genius for silly popcorn films, and both are known for technical and special effects extravaganzas. Both Bay and Cameron are also consistently criticized for the bad acting in their films too. So when Megan Fox, star of the two Transformers films, recently took a swipe at her director, people noticed, but it wasn’t even one of the dumbest things the girl said in the same interview, much less over the course of this whole media tour.

It was Megan’s Entertainment Weekly cover interview that started it. EW asked “What percentage of your range have people seen so far?” Megan replies: “Seven percent. On the new one ['Transformers 2'], I tried. But unless you’re a seasoned veteran, working with Michael Bay is not about an acting experience.” (emphasis mine) In the same interview, Megan also bitched about a possible third Transformers film, giving a weak assurance and then said: “Sure. I mean, I can’t sh-t on this movie because it did give me a career and open all these doors for me. But I don’t want to blow smoke up people’s ass. People are well aware that this is not a movie about acting. And once you realize that, it becomes almost fun because you can be in the moment and go, ‘All right, I know that when he calls Action! I’m either going to be running or screaming, or both.’” The one thing I’ll never understand about actors - when they start complaining about the films they’ve made, I always think “Did someone have a gun to your head, forcing you to make it?” If you can’t respect your own work, how will other people respect it?

Iconic music producer Quincy Jones was interviewed by Details Magazine, all to discuss Michael Jackson’s life and work. It’s a long interview, which you can read here, but Huffington Post has some of the best quotes. Quincy and Michael were professional and personal friends for decades, their collaborations going back to Thriller, Bad and Off the Wall. Many music critics point as that time period - the Quincy/Michael collaboration period - as Michael’s best, most creative, and most iconic. In my opinion, Quincy was probably a lot more than a professional mentor to Michael - Quincy was probably the closest thing Michael had to a loving, benevolent father, considering Michael’s actual father is a notorious bastard.

In the interview, Quincy riffs on Michael’s plastic surgery, but avoids talking about Michael’s sexuality. He also mentions that Michael was maybe worse off because he was a Virgo, which I think I knew at one point but had blocked from my memory.

Quincy Jones, the record producer who collaborated with Michael Jackson on Thriller, Bad and Off the Wall, has opened up to Details about his memories of his friend’s life and speculations about his death.

On Jackson’s ever-changing appearance:
Oh, we talked about it all the time. But he’d come up with, “Man, I promise you I have this disease,” and so forth, and “I have a blister on my lungs,” and all that kind of b.s. It’s hard, because Michael’s a Virgo, man–he’s very set in his ways. You can’t talk him out of it. Chemical peels and all that stuff.

Kevin Jonas has stunned fans of the Jonas Brothers by asking his girlfriend Danielle Deleasa to marry him.

The romantic pop star, 21, reportedly dropped to one knee after showing up unannounced at Deleasa’s home in New Jersey on Wednesday morning - after flying in from a Tuesday night concert in Vancouver, Canada.

He presented her with a custom-made, cushion-cut diamond ring, according to People.com.

Thrilled Jonas tells the publication, “It was tough performing last night, knowing that I was going to ask the biggest question in my life to the most amazing girl in the world.

“She said yes, yes, yes, like, 500 times super fast in a row.”

The couple met in 2007 while vacationing with their families in the Bahamas, and Kevin has the blessing of his parents.

A statement from Denise and Kevin Jonas, Sr. reads, “Our hearts are filled with joy today and we are happy to share with you that our son Kevin has asked Danielle for her hand in marriage… It is such a blessing that she will be joining our family.”

Jacko fans will get the chance to bid for the very glove that grabbed his crotch onstage during The Jacksons’ farewell Victory Tour 25 years ago.

The illuminated glove is considered the single most iconic piece of Michael Jackson memorabilia in the world and is one of just two in the world. 

Experts claim it was worth up to $80,000 before Jackson died, so it could fetch many times  that when it goes under the hammer in October.

Maybe The Jonas Brothers aren’t the clean-cut, virginal, God-fearing pop stars we thought they were…

Apparently the mop-topped trio have been banned from staying at a London hotel, because they trashed it the last time they were in the British capital.

Sadly there were no Rolls Royces in swimming pools, strippers passed out in the bathtub. There wasn’t even a TV tossed from a window…
 
As Kevin Jonas reveals, “Joe and Nick broke the floorboards of a room in London once by practising their flips. They moved the coffee table over the top of the hole in the floor….We’re probably not going to go back there!”

It may be the lamest way to trash a hotel room — but a trashed hotel room is a trashed hotel room. Well done boys.
