Debbie Rowe Backs Out of Jackson Memorial

Contrary to previous reports, Debbie Rowe will not be attending Michael Jackson's memorial on Tuesday.

"Although Debbie had originally planned to attend tomorrow's Staples Center memorial service, we have concluded with Debbie that she will not be attending," her rep said in a statement.

Debbie’s spokesperson added, "The onslaught of media attention has made it clear her attendance would be an unnecessary distraction to an event that should focus exclusively on Michael's legacy. Debbie will continue to celebrate Michael's memory privately."

Meanwhile, Rowe will continue on with her custody battle, with an initial hearing scheduled for July 13.
