She Simply Loves Paris In The Offspring Time

Compiled By Staff Writer Rick Bo

Debbie Rowe isn’t due to bear Michael Jackson’s second child until February, but she’s got the name: Paris Michael Katherine Jackson.

“I wanted to name her Michael after Michael, but Michael said no,” Rowe told a Los Angeles television station. “So we decided Paris because that’s where she was conceived, Michael because I really want Michael’s name in her name, and Katherine after his mom.”

While Rowe and Jackson live apart, she’s not worried about his relationships with other women, including ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley.

“My friendship with him is the most important thing to me,” Rowe said. “And if this marriage gets in the way of that friendship, then we’ll put the marriage aside. But I want to go on as friends.”

And, she added: “I hope we have a lot of kids together.”

Actually, we had suspected it was fowl play

But he wasn’t trying to impress her, he insists - just cut up some chicken for his dogs. “He tried to stick the knife in, but the chicken hadn’t really thawed out, and he cut his finger in half,” Rourke’s spokesman said.
