The attorney representing Debbie Rowe, Marta Almli, described a recent interview posted by News of the World, as a fake:

"The interview did not occur. The article is a complete fabrication."

In the fake interview Rowe allegedly said she doesn’t want anything to do with two of the children she gave birth to for Michael Jackson. The one part of the alleged fake interview is the part that says Michael is not the biological father of the children. The children were all white, and Michael was black, so that part sounds believable. We doubt anyone will perform a DNA test so the kids know for sure who their real parents are.

The attorney had no information if Rowe would seek custody. This morning an attorney for Michael Jackson’s mother, Katherine Jackson, asked the court for temporary custody of the three children Michael had in his custody, and the court granted that request with a pending hearing on the matter next monday.

TV pitchman Billy Mays died Sunday morning at the young age of 50 following a head injury. Mays was onboard a U.S. Airways flight on Saturday when the front tires blew out causing heavy objects to either fall on Mays’s head, or he hit his head on a hard object, it is not clear exactly which happened, but he did get a head injury. After the flight Mays spoke to Fox 13 in Tampa saying:

"It hit me on the head, but I got a hard head."

Mays wrote on Twitter:

"Just had a close call landing in Tampa. The tires blew out upon landing. Stuck in the plane on the runway. You can always count on US Air."

Mays’ wife, Deborah, found him in bed at their home and called 911 when she couldn’t revive him around 7:45a.m.

Tampa police said there were no signs of foul play.

Police spokeswoman Laura McElroy said any connection between the rough landing and Mays’ death would "purely be speculation." There were no reported injuries at the time of the landing. An autopsy will be done on Mays today.

Mays’ son Billy Mays, Jr. (22) wrote on Twitter:

"My dad didn’t wake up this morning. It hasn’t yet hit me but it’s about to. He’s gone. I’m gonna be strong for him. I’m thankful I got to talk to my dad last night. I miss him immensely already. But I feel him with me."

Mays had no known major health problems, although he walked with a limp and was planning to have hip replacement surgery.

Deborah Mays said in a statement:

"Although Billy lived a public life, we don’t anticipate making any public statements over the next couple of days. Our family asks that you respect our privacy during these difficult times."

Billy’s wife said that Billy said he wasn’t feeling well before he went to bed Saturday night, and he died in his sleep.

The autopsy results revealed this morning showed that Billy had hypertension (high blood pressure), and heart disease, specifically coronary artery sclerosis (atherosclerosis), or a narrowing of the heart arteries due to plague build up. Billy’s had an enlarged heart, which means he was heading towards congestive heart failure (CHF) later in his life. At this point doctors suspect, but may never be able to confirm, that a lethal arrhythmia (abnormal heart beat) may have been the cause of death.

The inflammation from Mays bad hip could have accelerated the build up of plague in his heart arteries, especially the Left Anterior Descending (LAD) artery that supplies blood to the the heart’s left ventricle, which pumps about 75% of the blood. When the LAD is occluded (clogged), and that causes an anterior myocardial infarction (a type of heart attack), it is referred to as the Widow Maker. Any electrical disturbance in the left ventricle could be deadly. Sometimes the first sign of heart disease, besides abnormal cholesterol and lipid levels, is sudden cardiac death.

The autopsy did not show any evidence of an external or internal head injury.

Billy Mays was one of the most pleasant, and likable pitchmen in the business. We will miss you Billy. Our best wishes to Billy’s family.

At this time Katherine Jackson, the mother of Michael Jackson, is looking after Michael’s three children. Two of those children, Prince Michael (12) and Paris (11), may go to their biological mother Debbie Rowe. It was originally reported that Rowe lost her parental rights in a custody fight with Michael back in 2005, but it turns out that report was not accurate.

Debbie Rowe, the mother of Prince Michael, 12, and Paris, 11, is their legal parent and can gain custody of them if she chooses, according to Rowe’s former attorney, Iris Finsilver. The question remains if Rowe will take the children, or if Katherine will keep them.

Retired Judge Stephen Lachs, who presided over the hearing, at first agreed to terminate them, but then Lachs changed his mind and returned the rights to her.

"She lost them, and then she got them back," Finsilver says. Finsilver said she spoke to Rowe on Thursday but she cannot say what Rowe plans to do. "She was inconsolable."

Jackson family attorney Brian Oxman says Jackson’s mother, the family matriarch, would be a natural guardian for the kids, though it won’t be her decision. Oxman said:

"Katherine is the logical choice, she has all the grandkids and nieces around her but it will be up to the courts. I wouldn’t be surprised if there are more proceedings regarding the children."

Blanket (7) may stay with Katherine. Blanket’s surrogate mother has not been identified.

Michael Jackson was found in his Los Angeles home today at about 12:30 pm not breathing, and had no pulse. Someone in the home was doing CPR, and paramedics took over the CPR while transporting Jackson to Ronald Reagan (UCLA) Medical Center where Jackson was pronounced dead at the age of 50 years-old. There is a large crowd outside the hospital. People don’t want to believe Michael is gone.

Michael’s father Joe Jackson said by phone from Las Vegas:

"He had a heart attack. He is not OK."

Michael was dancing and working out to get in shape for his 50 show tour in London this summer. Many, including myself, doubted Michael was in good enough physical condition to keep his commitments, and some shows had been rescheduled for later dates because Michael was not ready. Michael was also rumored to have had a MRSA skin infection, and skin cancer, but neither rumor was confirmed.

Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.

Debbie Rowe, Jackson’s ex-wife, and mother of his children, gave up all parental rights, so she cannot legally take custody of the children.

Michael’s death at this time is said to have been caused by a heart attack that caused cardiac arrest. A Los Angeles homicide detective has been assigned to investigate Michael’s death, just to make sure there was no foul play.

The news of Michael’s death has completely overshadowed the death of Farrah Fawcett earlier this morning.

Despite all of Michael Jackson’s weirdness, he was still a great artist, and will be remembered for his creativity, and music above all else.
