shocked by michael jackson's death? >> was i shocked? no. even beforehand, during my time of employment, i had mentioned to close members of my family, like my mother and sister, i expressed to them, i said, i don't think he's going to survive this concert tour. because i said that's too much stress and pressure on somebody like that. >> debbie, are you ready to fight for your kids, debbie? are you ready to fight for your children. >> don't touch me. >> are you ready to fight for your children? >> do not touch me! >> nobody touched you here. >> you just did. >> are you ready to fight for your children. >> are you ready to get your butt kicked. don't [ bleep ] touch me. >> are you going to take a cash settlement for the kids. >> how important are the kids to you, debbie. >> not a good look, mommy. that's the bio mom, the alleged bio mom, debbie rowe, set to throw her hat to the ring claiming she should get guardianship of all three of the jackson children, there she is outside of a chinese restaurant cursing and threaten

>> joe jackson said, unequivocally that omar bhatti is michael jackson's son. it was the last question i asked him after two hours of conversation, and this is what he admitted. this is what joe jackson believes to be true. he looked me in my eye, i believe him. i don't think mr. jackson has any reason to be dishonest and i think this is a guarded secret, that is only now coming to light. >> a lot of people are saying, though, that there's a motive here. that he wants him to be his son, because he has musical talent. we see him dance, he was in a talent contest, that's allegedly how michael jackson found him, if he wasn't his biological son. what does your gut tell you? >> i think my gut says that, you know, joe jackson, being motivated by turning this boy into a star is unfair. i mean, joe jackson is one of the most legendary fathers and managers we've ever had and he needs to be given respect for that. i've witnessed, as we all have, some of his somewhat gratuitous comments about his record label and comments post michael's death, but that wasn't the man i me

friend of michael jackson. worked with michael jackson on "dangerous" and "history." friend of deepak chopra. when things happen like this, is there any feeling of guilt or feelings that maybe i should have done more? >> yeah, absolutely. and i think through the years, i tried my best and michael responded sometimes an rilly, sometimes in denial and sometimes in acceptance. he was great at isolating himself and sort of becoming totally inaccessible. you would go weeks or months without hearing from him. what else could i have done? >> larry: was it frustrating? >> yeah. i know it was frustrating. i know i got angry certain times with him, but you know? >> larry: now you and your father said that he talked about dying. in what respects? >> there was certain people that he sort of looked up to from james dean to elvis presley to john lennon. people who in some ways had been immortalized by their premature deaths and i think that's something that he recognized and almost envied in a way. i do think it changed a bit when he had children. he, as any parent, realizes now th

hundreds of pages on michael jackson. did you meet michael jackson? >> yes, i did. i met him several times. almost a couple years ago. i met him several times in crowds when i was doing my investigation. i also went undercover as a hair stylist at one point. i found michael jackson to be the most personable, one of the greatest people i ever met. no ego whatsoever. it's a strategy the way this has all been dealt with. we have a dead man. we have three children right now without proper parents. i urge california child welfare to step in immediately, not let them go to debbie rowe who's almost practically said she'd auction them off if she could make a buck. you have the jackson family who has hinted they want to steer them into a career of show business. >> i don't think we have official statement from debbie rowe at this point. she is the biological parent of the children, but i want to ask you about your book. at the conclusion of your book, you talk about someone leaclose michael jackson told you two hours after michael jackson died that he had not wanted to live

now, michael jackson, the superstar. michael was just 5 years old when he hit the big time with his four brothers. even as popular as he was as the lead singer of the jackson 5, i doubt anybody could have predicted what would happen next. a messy business break-up actually led to a partnership that would shift his career into high gear. michael linked up with then little-known music director by the name of quincy jones. quincy helps michael skyrocket to superstardom. the road was anything but smooth. a shocking accident left michael with a lifetime of physical and emotional scars. our showbiz special report continues as cnn presents "the man in the mirror," here is don lemon for "showbiz tonight." >> reporter: by 1975, the jackson 5 made a highly publicized split from motown. jackson would turn to quincy jones, then musical director for "the wiz," now multigrammy winner arranger and composer. >> i said i would like to take a shot at producing your record. we started to get going and the record company said, no quincy is

i am a huge michael, michael jackson fan. i believe that probably me and all other fans should take responsibility in a portion of the blame for his sudden and tragic demise. because of his greatness and god-given talent, he probably felt compelled to maintain that status and it probably came at the price of his life. >> was there one moment that really struck you in the memorial service that you think you're going to remember for a long time? >> caller: i think, i can't really put a hand on just one thing in particular, i think the whole entire service, the way his brothers and his siblings responded to everyone that got up, i thought that was very warm, very touching. and showing their appreciation. so basically, the whole service was just very touching and i think we should all remember his legacy and remember the good things. everybody has skeletons in their closet. everybody has problems and shortcomings. but we're not going to get into all of that, we're just going to thank god for michael's gift and what he meant to th

there's also michael jackson's father, joe jackson. apparently debbie rowe is trying to file a restraining order against him. what are the chances that she could succeed in that? >> i think she could succeed, because there have been numerous public allegations, including by michael jackson himself, that he was abused as a child by his father. and in debbie rowe's defense, she has come in and tried to seek custody on a couple of occasions. when michael jackson was associated with the nation of islam, and she wanted to get her kids at that point. when she was on trial for child molestation, she wanted custody because she was concerned about the safety of her kids. now that michael jackson is gone, it's a clear change of circumstances for the courts to look at and she's going to say she's concerned they may be in the custody of someone who has a history of abusing children. so she has good legal legs to stand on, although there are arguments against her as well. >> when we look at the dynamic of the jackson family, catherine and joe jacks

who will take care of michael joseph jr., paris michael katherine jackson, and prince michael jackson the second now that the father has died? >> not janet, randy, jackie, marlon, tito, no. >> jackson named his mother as guardian of his children. if she's unable or unwilling he names singer, diana ross. >> but this is to put it mildly not an ordinary situation. debbie rowe, jackson's former wife and mother of his two children, told a television station she wants custody. >> she said she was concerned about splitting up the three children and would accept custody of youngest child. >> he's not the biological father of the three children. there's a world full of sources that have said this now. >> this is a tempest in a teapot. the reason it is that way is these children were born to michael and debbie during their marriage. >> he never formally or legally adopted the three children, not like common law marriage, you don't have common law children. >> the best thing for the children is that they are surrounded by people that they love, normalcy. and don't get in the way of the media and
