I find it a bit strange that Oprah Winfrey was not at Michael Jackson's memorial, and even stranger that Oprah has remained silent since Jackson's sudden passing last week.
Oprah has not been heard from at all in regards to Michael Jackson's passing. No public condolences to the Jackson family,nothing, that I am aware of.
I think Oprah's silence just might speak volumes. Just saying.
Here is a clip of Oprah's interview with Michael back in 1993:
Michael Jackson's mom asked for, and was granted, temporary custody of the late singer's three children.
Katherine Jackson, 79, filed for guardianship in a Los Angeles courthouse on Monday, and a judge granted her request, and also set a hearing for August 3rd.
Jackson has also filed for administration of Michael Jackson's estate.
Michael's father, Joe Jackson, was not listed in the Guardianship petition.
Katherine Jackson's 22-page petition claims the children "have no relationship with their biological mother" and have been in the care of their grandmother, "with whom they have a long established relationship," since Michael's death.
Deborah Rowe, biological mom of Michael's two oldest children, has not stated her intentions regarding the children, yet.
Michael's youngest child was born to an unnamed surrogate.

I am sad, but also angry this morning after reading a report by the New York Post on Michael Jackson's second autopsy.
Everyone is of course following every detail of Michael Jackson's tragic death, and while we want to know what happened to Michael (though don't we really all pretty much know anyway?), I can't help but think how horrified Michael himself would be by everyone knowing the details coming out from the second autopsy.
I really do not feel like posting the sad results that are being published... there was probably no one more private than Michael Jackson and it just seems so wrong that we can all now know things about him that he never wanted us to know when he was alive.
It is important medically and legally to know what happened, I know... and the family has questions that need and should be answered. But do we all really need to be reading intimate details of Michael's health that we all know he wouldn't want shared?
We know the gist of what went on. We know medically he had issues that for whatever reason were not addressed correctly. . We know Michael was not a specimen of great health. But we also know he was private, almost desperately so. Maybe we could respect that privacy a bit more now, and just say our sad good byes to this wonderful talent that brought so much into all our lives.
What a picture. Mercy James, 4, looks pretty happy with her piggyback ride on Madonna's back after attending services at London’s Kabbalah center. Mercy arrived from Malawi last week, and the new mom and daughter duo seem to be doing great!

Michael Jackson's family wants a second, private autopsy, it has been reported today.
The Jackson family is understandably frustrated in their grief, trying to understand, as we all are, what happened to Michael the day he died.
Reports are all over the news that Michael Jackson had been receiving daily injections of a pain killer, and possibly was taking multiple pain killers daily. We have all read and heard about the private doctor living with Jackson the last two weeks of the pop star's life; Jackson's family wants a private autopsy of the pop icon because of unanswered questions about how he died and the doctor who was with him, Rev. Jesse Jackson said Saturday.
Dr. Conrad Murray, the private doctor who left his practice in Las Vegas to move in with Michael, has hired a lawyer, William M. Stradley from a legal firm in Houston. One of the partners was meeting with Los Angeles police on Saturday, according to Stradley, who has also said that Murray accompanied Michael Jackson to the hospital. "He was there from the beginning and he's been cooperating with police from the very beginning," Stradley said. "Dr. Murray has never left L.A. since Mr. Jackson's death, and he remains there."
So sad. There can not be enough answers or explanations to ease the Jackson family's grief. I don't see how. Michael was brilliant in his talent, a one-of-a-kind we may never see the likes of again. But could there be a more hauntingly desolate soul than was Michael?
I worry now for the three beautiful children,Michael Joseph, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine, and Prince "Blanket" Michael II. Missing the Dad I am sure they loved more than anyone else in the world, and soon to be possibly caught up in a custody battle that will not be nice.And what if the three children, who are suffering so much now, must suffer even more by being split up, should the mom of two of them receive custody?
My heart breaks for all of them, but even more so for the youngest, Prince Michael, because that little boy does no have a mother that anyone knows of. What will happen to his world, shattered already, if he should lose his big brother and sister to their mom?
