Michael Jackson’s mother gets custody of his kids
The battle between Michael Jackson’s family and his ex-wife appears to be over.
Katherine Jackson has been granted custody of his children. Debbie Rowe will get visitation of the older two children, according to an interview aired on the CBS Early Show.
The women have been battling it out for the children since the King of Pop’s sudden death last month. Things have been pretty nasty.
There were even seemingly bogus reports that Rowe had ‘sold’ the children to Katherine Jackson.
Rowe won’t get any money as part of the resolution, CBS says.
“It’s an agreement, an agreement for the best interests of the children. This is not a money deal. This is not about money,L. Londell McMillan, Katherine Jackson’s lawyer, told CBS.
Debbie Rowe bore Prince Michael Joseph Jackson, 12, and Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, 11, for the King of Pop. His 7-year-old “Blanket” Prince Michael Jackson II was conceived by vitro.
Just wonder how much Joe will be in the picture?

American beer brewers hopping mad (sort of) about ‘Beer Summit’ menu
All of the ills caused by America’s racist past will be healed tonight, July 30, during “Beer Summit 09.” Well, not exactly.
But three dudes - a president, a Harvard professor and a Cambridge, Mass. cop - will get together and do what dudes do best, drink brew and talk about long-standing tension between black people and police.
The beer summit has it critics to be sure. Among them are American beer brewers some what ticked their products won’t be on tap.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Genesee Brewery said they were pleased the president was breaking bread with beer, but said: “We just hope the next time the President has a beer, he chooses an American beer, made by American workers, and an American-owned brewery like Genesee.”
President Obama will have a low carb Bub Light, which was American born before going foreign.
Last year the company was bought by a Belgian-Brazilian company now known as Anseuser-Busch InBev NV.
Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. will drink down a Red Stripe from London-based Diageo PLC. Sgt. James Crowley said he’d prefer a Blue Moon. That brew is mostly owned by London-based SABMiller.
Obama called the fellas to the summit to bring an end to the controversy that has distracted attention away from his plans for a health insurance reform.
Obama was drawn to the middle of this mess during a press conference last week on that issue. During the press conference, he called Gates’ arrest stupid.
The professor was arrested for disorderly conduct after being questioned about a reported break in at his own home.
“Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof he was in own home,” Obama said during the press conference.
