THE COST OF HAVING CHILDREN IS HIGH

As part of the ongoing spat over who gets to actually mess with their kids heads full time, documents have been released which reveal the extent of how much Michael Jackson was prepared to pay Debbie Rowe to give him a kid:

"Mr. Jackson was under an agreement with Petitioner (Rowe) here, which he was to pay her -- did pay her about four or five million dollars up front, gave her a mansion in Beverly Hills, and then was to pay $900,000 a year for a number of years if she abided by agreement terms."

Also in the court file -- a declaration dated January 26, 2004, in which Rowe declares, "I have just been advised by Michael's 'inner circle' that he is abusing drugs and I was even given the name of the physician that is prescribing all of Michael's medications, which I fear is dangerous not only to Michael but also to the children."

The disturbing thing is, this is probably the least insane story we've run about Michael Jackson in the history of No Rock.

We might celebrate by releasing a bird.

Debbie Rowe has been given permission by the court to try for custody of the kids.
