First Jacko's kids, now his ex-wife Debbie Rowe shows her face
Michael Jackson's reclusive ex-wife Debbie Rowe was spotted on a rare outing just days after pictures of her children were revealed.
Rowe, who appears to have put on weight over the years, made a quick trip to the shops looking dowdy in denim as she emerged from her California home.
Rowe, Jackson's second wife after Lisa Marie Presley, has minimal contact with Prince Michael and Paris, her children with the pop star, after apparently giving him custody as "a gift".

Although it was difficult to spot the similarity between the children and their father, they do appear to bear some resemblance to their mother.
The paternity of Jackson's children has been questioned in the past as Rowe claims Paris and Prince were conceived using a sperm donor.
She said: "Michael knows the truth. He has to come clean."

Jackson was said to be so obsessed with controlling the creation of each child he reportedly imposed a six-month sex ban on Ms Rowe before insemination.
Ms Rowe, 41, said she received a £6million pay-off, a £1.6million Beverly Hills home, a car, clothes, furs and jewels.

In the surrogacy agreement, Ms Rowe agreed to "knowingly and voluntarily waive my right to contest Michael's paternity of either child" and "consent to Michael being declared the father".
After giving birth to Prince Michael Jnr, Ms Rowe was inseminated again four months later and Paris was born in April 1998.
By October the following year, the couple were divorced.
Jackson went on to have a third child, Prince Michael II, with a different woman, who has yet to be identified.
