PALMDALE - A day after Michael Jackson's sudden death, paparazzi and entertainment news photographers converged Friday on the Palmdale home of Jackson's ex-wife Debbie Rowe, who gave birth more than 10 years ago to two of the pop star's children.
Rowe, who married Jackson in 1996, lives in a single-story ranch-style home, surrounded by pepper trees, pines and other trees, with two dozen horses and stables in the rear. The couple divorced in 1999.
Rowe's home on Friday was barricaded by four cars - two at each opening to her semicircular driveway, with a "No Trespassing" sign on a wooden gate post.
There was no sign of Rowe, though, and calls to her home and cellphone went unanswered Friday. Rowe has lived in Palmdale for at least three years and was the subject of a September 2007 blurb in People magazine that reported she bred racehorses in Palmdale.
Gonzalez said about 25 horses are on the ranch, which has stables behind the home.
It is unclear whether Rowe will seek custody of Prince Michael, 12, and Paris, 11. Entertainment news source TMZ reported on its Web site Friday she is "poised to take full custody of the two children she bore for Michael Jackson."
The Web site declared false any reports that she gave up her parental rights to the children.
The Daily Mail reported Rowe was living alone, breeding horses and dogs and "there is little evidence in this impoverished and dusty backwater of the small fortune she is reputed to have received for effectively becoming America's most famous surrogate mother."
Some motorists driving by the home Friday stopped to see why camera crews were standing across the street. Others rolled down their windows and yelled, "Leave them alone" at the camera crews.

Impoverished and dusty backwater, yes. But if you ask me, bringing your $$$ to a place that is close to L.A. but relatively inexpensive is the first sign of brains I've seen in the entire Michael Jackson saga to date.
I am not sure she is the right person to take custody. I don’t believe that she has seen the kids since she gave them up. If that is a true statement than basically the kids are going to a stranger. I can’t imagine that any of the Jackson kids would not be a good parent. I mean there is eight of them and they all can’t be bad...Can they???
typical media BS
Some people like the desert. Skunkworks aerospace is right there and so is Edwards AFB the infrastructure is superior to anything the ramshackle ghettos of Beverly Hills or Hollywood has to offer
The woman is a sack of crap, now she is claiming the kids are NOT Michael Jackson’s..where the hell has she been for the past 12 years. Say whatever you want about Michael Jackson but those poor kids have suffered enough, they just lost their father, and now this woman is saying he is not their father. The whole thing is sad. I read she lives in a trailer in Palmdale. Maybe she thinks that Michael left the kids some money and she wants her piece of the pie
Sorry, but being someone who has lived here since 1996, I think he got it right. There are a few nice things about living here but generally speaking, it’s a hole.
I don’t know, either. Biology doesn’t a good mother make, that’s for sure. The kids have a godfather and lots of uncles and aunts, so, yeah. I’m with you.
The silver car is blocking the entrance to her driveway. House is behind.
They married in Sydney, Australia, when Miss Rowe was six months pregnant with son Prince Michael.
The relationship ended the following year after she gave birth to Paris.
Under the terms of their 1999 divorce, Miss Rowe received around £500,000 a year in instalments spread over nine years.
She was granted a day-long visit with her children once every 45 days.
so, shrug. MJ's estate is reportedly in debt to the tune of $550m, but that doesn't mean that the children don't have solid trusts.
I suspect that they are all as crazy as Hell!
I guess that is better than breeding kids for weird pop stars.
Why would she claim Michael isn’t the father? Would that cut them out of any $$$?
I don’t know but that is what she is claiming now, according to the New World Times, she talked to them. Those kids have suffered enough, especially Paris, she is taking her Dad’s death especially hard. It isn’t even about Michael anymore, it’s about those children, it’s gonna be hell for them, the custody battle, all of these BS rumors coming out, they are in my prayers
From the photos I have seen, I cannot see how they are half black.
Yep. And there’s a section of houses on the west side of Lancaster known as “Prison View Estates.” it’s sad.
I heard on TV that is what she’s claiing now. I hope they don’t separate the older two from the younger one if this winds up in court with multiple fathers.
Agreed, and it’s a shame. See my post #14
lol, I see you did :)
I’d put money on the fact that they aren’t michael’s.
after all, regardless of what he has done to his skin to make it white, he is a black man and none of his children look even remotely black.
