Debbie Rowe, the presumed biological mother of Michael Jackson ’s two oldest children — Prince Michael, 12, and Paris, 11 — will seek custody of her children with the pop star, she tells Los Angeles TV station NBC 4. “I am stepping up,” she told the station on Thursday. “I have to.” In his 2002 will, Michael Jackson designated his mother, Katherine Jackson, as the guardian of his three children (including youngest son Prince Michael 11 — also known as “Blanket” — whose biological mother is unknown). Rowe, who was married to Jackson in 1996 and filed for divorce three years later, says her current visitation agreement with the Jacksons does not allow her enough access to the kids. She’s launching a full-scale custody battle against the Jackson family. “We had an agreement…he didn’t keep his end,” Rowe told NBC 4 about a custody arrangement with Jackson. “It hasn’t been easy. It’s been painful.” All three of Michael Jackson’s children have been in the care of his mother, Katherine, since the pop star’s death last week.

Mischa Barton and some friends were enjoying an evening at a club in London when Mischa decided to drag one of the girls into the ladies room. The problem was that she tried to get both herself and her friend into one stall. The bathroom attendant insisted that she move to another one by herself. Though she appeared “pissed,”  the train-wreck  went to the other stall solo, but they sure had a hard time trying to get her out! A source reveals that she was in there so long, people began to get concerned: “At one point the toilet attendant had to knock on her door twice to ask if she was alright. Then her mate was knocking to check she was feeling okay. When she came out of the cubicle, she was complaining about people knocking on the door. She looked slightly worse for wear as she attempted to apply her make-up.”  Don’t you dare say “she was sick”! Let’s not be oblivious, she was obviously snorting cocaine off the toilet-seat, because she left and headed to Bungalow 8 , another club in Mayfair. What the hell else was she doing in a bathroom stall for so long? Train-wreck Coke Whore! No wonder she’s so skinny!
