Rowe a No-Show at Jackson Memorial

Debbie Rowe Michael Jackson's ex-wife Debbie Rowe won't be attending Jackson's memorial service at the Staples Center tomorrow.

Her attorney sends us this statement:
"The onslaught of media attention has made it clear her attendance would be an unnecessary distraction to an event that should focus exclusively on Michael's legacy. Debbie will continue to celebrate Michael's memory privately."

16. I also am tired of the media making this a racial thing,

18. Mourning in private will be the best thing for her. It sure beats her getting hounded and harrassed by the many people who are constantly asking 'are you going to fight for the kids?'. Leave the woman alone for now and let her grieve. Let her get her mind cleared before the cameras continue to get in her face.

That doesn't mean I support Debbie's decision on what she did to her children, just saying give the woman some air and quit harping all over her when she's out in public.

19. Apparently she wasn't fast enough on Ebay to score a ticket. Ebay is now removing any and all sites selling the memorial tickets. So much for free enterprise! They must think this event is too important to allow scalpers to make a buck. JERKS!!

20.

I don't blame Her for not wanting to get caught under the Big Top of this Circus....

It is funny, I thought the Media would make a Circus of all of this..
But It is MJ's Own Family who have done that,,,, Even Momma Jackson has got in to
all of this , I am so surprised to See that She is Only inrested in MJs Money....

Shame on YOu all..
It Seems Debbie is the only One showing even class and that is really saying something,,,

She willl get the Children,,,,

21. She never planned on attending his memorial service. This is just one more PR stunt.
No wonder he only trusted children.
Look at the bloodsuckers in his own family!

22. She's doing the right thing. Every surrogate gets paid to do their job... I wish people would stop criticizing her for it. She gave more to MJ than anyone.

23. Is wacko going to be at this gig? I mean embalmbed, on display, moon walk pose, shaaaaamon. Will there be a small boys choir, he would have liked that.

24. I feel that her presence at a memoriel would disrespect MJ's life and make him a mockery of the common people who love him and do not caree about the things he did wih kids because music overcomes all and he was the voice of god aand we were lucky to have witness trhe shine of his star and

25. Sad. Even MJ's attorney said he always liked Debbie Rowe, and thought she was good for Michael.

Yet, his father, who was more concerned about promoting his new record label and talking about the talented singers he had than in remembering his son. Sorry Reverend Al, it don't float that he was distressed and taken out of context. Besides that, it's a little hard for us New Yorkers to believe anything you say, we all remember Tawana Browley and the made up rape and assault that you were involved in.

Michael must be spinning.

26. Why does everything always have to be turned into a race issue? Terrencio, your comment is out of line. For things to ever change, this kind of attitude has to stop. MJ loved all people...not just those in his own race.

27. I think Debbie Rowe cared about MJ and she certainly cares about her children. How do you know that she doesn't? She probably was obsessed with Jackson in an unhealthy way if the truth were known at some point. People saying she doesn't care about her children haven't walked in her shoes. I'd trust her more than I would Joe Jackson looking to make a buck.

I'd rather see Katherine retain custody but Debbie has visitation with her children. They deserve to know their mother and form their own opinion, and also IF they want to see their mother at some point.

28. The bottom line for me is --if she really cared about those kids she would show up at the memorial. Instead she is clearly all about herself. Very telling.

29. HAHAHAHA,yeah...who's fallen for that one?
Not me that's for sure! BTW,who cares if that fat horse ass
attends or not the memorial? She shouln'd be any where close
to the memorial or burial sites.... I Fncking hate her to death!!!

30. 7. DEBBIE KNOWS ENOUGH NOT TO SHOW UP AT HIS MEMORIAL. SHE WOULD BE BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.
THAT BITCH IS ONLY OUT FOR THE MONEY AND NOT THE CHILDRENS WELL BEING.

I HOPE THE KIDS STAY WITH KATHERINE..................

Posted at 2:46PM on Jul 6th 2009 by RIP MICHAEL

You Need to Read the court Hearing today,,,
It was sad to Hear that MJ Momma is just as much of a Monney Grubber as Joe....

Debbie will get the Children,,Well Her 2 anyway,,

The Jacksons only want the kids for their 40%,... I didn't not believe that yesterday
But todays day in court has changed my mind about Mrs Jackson

BURY YOUR SON BEFORE YOU PICK HIS BONES>>>
