Debbie Rowe -- the mother of Michael Jackson's two oldest children Paris and Prince -- claims she's "worried" about her kids' brother, Blanket.
During a shopping trip in Calabasas earlier today, Rowe said she knows nothing about the investigation into the stun gun incident at the Jackson compound in Encino -- where Michael's kids and Jermaine's kids are all currently living with Katherine Jackson.
But Rowe did admit that she was aware of the reports that Jaafar Jackson was playing with a stun gun while Blanket was nearby. When asked if she was worried about Blanket, Rowe said, "Of course I'm worried ... why would I not be worried about a child? He is their brother."
Rowe claimed she's never been to the Jackson compound -- but told us she has been visiting Michael's tomb recently and tries to visit as often as she can.

Michael Jackson's ex-wife Debbie Rowe just won a defamation lawsuit she filed against a woman who allegedly spread lies about her in the press -- and now Debbie's $27,000 richer for it.
Debbie sued Rebecca White back in July when White went on "Extra" after Michael's death and claimed Debbie didn't care about getting custody of Michael's kids ... and was only interested in getting money from the Jackson family.
Rebecca never responded to Debbie's lawsuit ... so the judge entered a default judgment today in L.A. County Superior Court.
Debbie was awarded $27,000 -- including $10,000 in damages for the emotional distress she supposedly suffered after White's interview hit the airwaves.

Debbie Rowe just went head-to-head with a photographer who claims she defamed him by allegedly lying about an altercation between them in July -- and the case is now in the hands of a judge.
Moments ago in Lancaster, Ca. court, freelance photographer Ed Frommer accused Rowe of slander, libel and defamation -- and wants $7,500 in damages.
Rowe testified Frommer hounded her, repeatedly trespassing on her property, and denies defaming the dude.
The judge took the case under submission.

TMZ has obtained the 911 call made by a photographer who claims some rabid Michael Jackson fans attacked him with a bat earlier this month ... an incident the photog blames on a lawsuit he recently filed against Debbie Rowe.
In the call, which was made on November 22, you can hear photographer Ed Frommer tell the dispatcher it all started when two cars pulled up beside him on a road in Lancaster, CA.
Frommer says three men exited the cars -- and that one of the guys told Frommer to stay away from Debbie, while another man began "pushing me with the bat through my window."
Frommer told us last week he thought the goons were mad at him because of the defamation lawsuit he filed against Debbie -- but he doesn't believe Debbie had any connection to the alleged incident.

The photographer who says he was attacked by angry Michael Jackson fans is finally telling his side of the story -- claiming his attackers were "laying in wait."
The photog, Ed Frommer, claims he was "jabbed" with a baseball bat several times by three MJ fans over a defamation lawsuit he filed against Debbie Rowe. The lawsuit stems from an encounter between Frommer and Rowe that went down in front of a Chinese food restaurant back in July.
As we first reported, Frommer claims three men pulled him out of his car in Lancaster, Ca and began screaming "leave Debbie alone" -- while shoving a bat in his chest.
Frommer doesn't think Debbie put the men up to it -- but he warns he's taken "precautions" to ensure it doesn't happen again.

A photographer who is suing Debbie Rowe claims he was attacked with a bat by three men who were yelling, "Leave Debbie alone."
Photog Ed Frommer is suing Rowe, claiming she defamed him by "lying" to police by saying he intentionally scratched her face and struck her. Frommer has sued Rowe for $7,500 in small claims court.
Frommer told cops on Sunday at 11:15 PM in Lancaster, CA, three males began following him in two different cars and ran him off the road. Frommer told police they got out of their cars -- one of them wielding a bat and poking him in the chest. They were yelling, "Leave Debbie alone."
Frommer doesn't think Debbie Rowe is behind it, but believes there are rabid Michael Jackson fans out to get him.

A photographer who had a physical run-in with Debbie Rowe back in July is now suing Michael Jackson's ex-wife in small claims court.
It's all over an incident that went down in front of a Chinese restaurant in Lancaster, California right after MJ died -- in which a swarm of paparazzi swarmed Rowe asking about the kids. Rowe lashed out at one photog, "Are you ready to have your butt kicked?"
Now, that photog, Ed Frommer, wants $7,500 in damages from Rowe -- claiming she lied to police, telling them he scratched her face, pulled her arm and struck her in the back.
Frommer tells us, "You can see from the video, I didn't touch her face" adding, "anything that happened was not intentional."
Frommer claims his reputation has taken some serious hits from the incident and he can't get work. The hearing is scheduled for January.

The law firm that represented Michael Jackson in his custody battle against Debbie Rowe back in 2005 is going after the singer's estate big time, to the tune of ... $1,419.70. Wait, what?
The Law Offices of Michael L. Abrams filed a creditor's claim against the Jackson estate last week, claiming the singer owed the firm for a little bit of legal work earlier this year. And by "little" we mean just 4.35 hours, according to the claim.
Jackson paid part of the bill, the claim indicates, which includes a $14 parking charge.
Considering most creditor's claims against the estate have been six and seven figures, we figure it's easier for the estate to just pay it rather than fight it.

Michael Jackson's ex-wife, Debbie Rowe -- Arnie Klein's former nurse -- claims she has no idea why her former boss injected Jackson 51 times in three months, telling us, "I don't know why Klein does anything. He's Arnie Klein."
TMZ ran into Rowe as she walked into a screening of the Jackson bio-flick "This Is It." We're told Rowe absolutely loved the movie.

Debbie Rowe, the mother of Michael Jackson's kids, has figured out exactly what the penalty is for allegedly lying about her on TV -- $490,000.
Rowe is asking a judge to issue a default judgment on her behalf in her defamation lawsuit against Rebecca White.
Rowe claims White was lying when she gave a television interview claiming she had an email from Debbie Rowe that said, "Do I want the kids? Hell no. Does it look good for me to ask for them? Absolutely."
Rowe filed the original lawsuit in July. A hearing on Rowe's petition to issue a default judgment against White is scheduled for November.

In yet another example of how protection pays, the glove Michael Jackson wore the day he married Debbie Rowe has just gone to the highest bidder -- for a fortune.
Bonhams and Goodman auctioneers hit the gavel after someone bid $49,000 to become the proud owner of Jackson's white bejeweled glove. The newly-minted gloved one is Warwick Stone, who bought it on behalf of the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
Jackson went on to have two kids with Debbie Rowe -- we don't think the glove was ever removed.

A couple names are being thrown around as the possible biological father of Michael Jackson's kids -- but Debbie Rowe, the one who birthed 2 of 'em, had only one thing to say about it ... and she's referencing Warhol.
FYI -- Rowe was at the offices of Dr. Klein, one of the potential fathers ... and yes, she was wearing the Three Wolf Moon shirt again.
