That's the latest rumor.

Jackson and Lester have been friends since they were both 12 years old. Lester, now a doctor, is the godfather of the three kids.

He had such a beautiful treble "Where is Love?".

Mark Lester's singing voice was dubbed by musical director Johnny Green's daughter.

TMZ is reporting that the biological father is Arnold Klein, Jackson's dermatologist.

At this evening's Alternative Insemination, the part of Michael Jackson's sperm will be played by those of a Jewish dermatologist.

My head hurts.

So if HE had no biological stake AND the woman who carried the kids had no biological stake, why...

Maybe he wanted to make sure his kids had light skin because of his vitiligo? So they'd feel normal?

Really, though, when you're confronted with all the details of this man's life at once - and that's what it sort of feels like, that his life is flashing before OUR eyes - how could it NOT have ended up with him being dead relatively young?

Did Jackson ever see a psychiatrist? I just wonder if someone could have steered this ship back on course before it was too late.

If Mark Lester is the Godfather to the children, shouldn't he or the Godmother raise the children? Who is the Godmother? While in theory Jackson's mother raising the children sounds good remember she is, what ...79? That is a big ask for an elderly woman. How much longer will she be around?

Well they're saying that MJ never legally adopted the kids...and if he isn't biologically their father, surely his family will have no say in it because they are not biologically or legally tied to them?

I'm kind of assuming that Godparents are nothing more than an accessory to being Christened and a symbolic position, unless specified in Will-form.

The 'mother' seems a bit off, the grandfather should be kept far away from raising any more kids...all the siblings have kids of their own bar Janet do they not? Surely she's the most level headed of the bunch and would love to look after them?

It's going to get messssyyyy.
