Debbie Rowe and Katherine Jackson Team Up Against Joe

High-profile custody cases sure make for strange bedfellows.

British newspaper the Sunday Mirror reports that Debbie Rowe, mother to two of deceased music legend Michael Jackson's children, and Katherine Jackson, Michael's mother and current custodian to the kids, have banded together to prevent Jacko's father Joe Jackson from having contact with the tots.

Joe Jackson, who Michael had publicly accused of being an abusive parent in the past, recently announced his desire to keep the kids with himself and Katherine, even hinting at future music careers for the tots.

But according to the paper, Rowe and Katherine Jackson have forged a deal: Rowe will not pursue custody of the children—Prince Michael I, Paris, and Prince Michael II, aka "Blanket"—as long as Katherine promises to keep Joe from having any say over how the kids are raised.

"The last thing [Rowe] wanted was for those kids to be looked after by Joe and go through what Michael went through," says a source. "When [Rowe and Jackson] were [married], Michael poured out his heart about how much he loathed Joe for what he had done."

This could get messy...

Let us know in the comments section: Do you think Debbie Rowe's request should be honored, or does Joe Jackson have a right to play a part in his grandkids' lives?

I would not have Joe Jackson as part of Michaels kids life. He is strange, looks strange, and talks strange. All he wants is money and he's not getting any of it. So again NO he's not human.

Joe Jackson should be behind bars, not be a grandparent to these poor kids. Michael will turn in his grave if he finds out about that man having ANY say in their upbringing

I heard MJ died of food poisoning from eating a 6 year old wiener.

Katherine and Joe are seperated, not divorced, because they are Jehovah's Witnesses, because Katherine had enough of Joe cheating on her when the boys were on tour, but Joe refuses to move out of the house, so Katherine can move out with the kids if Joe won't leave. Joe can stay in the house himself and rot

I would probably feel pretty bad -- it's a good thing my Dad isn't a child molester so I don't have to worry about that.

Also, this just in... apparently it wasn't the wiener that killed him. It's now being reported that MJ died from an allergic reaction from eating 12 year old nuts.

Joseph has never been one of Jehovah's Witnesses, only Katherine and Reba, the oldest daughter are Witnesses. Michael and Latoya were also but left the relgion in the 80's. Janet and the boys only attended meetings but were never Witnesses as kids or adults. Katherine will handle the kids and Joseph will do what he has to do to keep peace with Katherine after 60 years of marriage.
