Back to Jacko, and the singer's ex-wife, Debbie Rowe, is suing a former friend over the publication of emails in which the nurse said she didn't want custody of her children, but was pretending she did so not to look heartless.
As previously reported, one Rebecca White last week told reporters she had emails from Rowe, who she described as a 'close friend', in which Jackson's ex seemingly said she had no interest in caring for the two children she had with Jacko - Prince Michael and Paris - but that she was pretending she did on the advice of her lawyer, so as not to look heartless.
In legal papers filed in LA on Friday, Rowe accuses White of fabricating the emails, saying she hasn't corresponded with her friend at all since Jackson's death. She is suing White for defamation, invasion of privacy and infliction of emotional distress, though it's not clear what sort of damages she is claiming.
White's comments followed reports in the New York Post that claimed Rowe had accepted $4 million from the Jackson family in return for agreeing to give up her parental rights over the two children. Both Rowe and the Jacksons have denied those reports, with the former's lawyer calling them "blatant falsehoods", though the Post says it stands by its story, and as yet Rowe doesn't seem to have filed libel proceedings against the newspaper.
In related news, the formal court hearing to discuss custody of Jackson's three children, which was assigned to Jacko's mother Katherine in his will, has been postponed again. It was previously postponed at the request of both Rowe and the Jacksons, who requested more time for out of court discussions to continue. The hearing was originally rescheduled for this week, but has now been pushed back into August. No reason was given for the latest postponement, though TMZ say its because an agreement between Katherine Jackson and Rowe's attorneys is close to being reached.
