You read it right - now here's the low down:
This comes hot on the heels of Debbie Rowe's recent performance at Michael Jackson's mausoleum. Now performance I don't mean anything like his memorial where some people who hadn't spoken to MJ in years got up and said some stuff that sounded vaguely insincere while pretending to cry. She started screeching and bawling. She had an audience too since some one had tipped of the paparazzi (Why bother? - I'm sure they have MJ's tomb staked out, just in case Elvis shows up or something. If we've learned anything about the King of Pop it's that he's becoming even stranger in death so the tomb is a good enough place to wait for a story to emerge.).
Now the working theory is that Ms Rowe herself tipped off the paps, probably for a pay off. Michael was her only means of livelihood and his estate doesn't feel like continuing to keep her in the style to which she has become accustomed. So she probably needs cash. We already know that she doesn't much care what she does to get it - if the amount is right.
What she probably wants is the kids. Not out of any maternal concern or attachments to MJ. She wants what they're worth. If she can't get them and claim generous support, then at least she'll try and position herself to negotiate some 'get lost' money from The Jacksons. That begins with vcreating leverage which in this case means making her claim on the kids look more legitimate, and therefore the threat more serious. Some on had to call CPS over the stun gun episode and I don't think that the call was made from with in the compound. Joe would never let such a call be made - it would interfer with his plans to set the Jackson 3 aloft in a tinfoil balloon - perhaps as a way of raising global awareness to an upcoming J3 world tour?
