Oh Come On: Culkin as Blanket's Dad?

By PopEater Staff Posted Aug 31st 2009 09:42AM

Since Michael Jackson's death, there's been a swirl of gossip around the paternity of his children. Often, it's random he-said/she-said, but we have to say this item claiming (with conveniently blind sources) that Macaulay Culkin may be the father of one of Jackson's kids takes the cake as the most ridiculous, and hopefully/likely the most untrue.

British paper The Sun, citing very unnamed and unverified sources, claims that actor Macaulay Culkin may be the father of Jackson's son Prince Michael II, aka Blanket. Culkin, now 29, is said to have donated sperm to give birth to the 7-year-old Blanket. Again, these are blind sources here.

Culkin's rep Michelle Bega tells TMZ that the claims "are too preposterous for us to even acknowledge."

Since Jackson's death, the paternity of his children has been hit on in the media. Some suspect that Jackson's dermatologist, Dr. Arnold Klein, may be the father of the children. Klein has given vague denials about this possibility, but never fully saying he is not the father of the children.

Jackson had three children: Prince Michael (12), Paris (11) and Blanket (7).

That would require a living father with which to compare the children's DNA.

Same perverts on here everyday making lewd comments about Michael and his kids, get a life you twisted weirdos, go to work!

By Mary

Who cares who donated what sprem? MJ is the father of those kids and he loved them dearly. Enough with the silly rumors.

By ms.r

3 words to end this media circus ext... get there dna.that is all .line them up test any one. then end the gossip but what would aol write about .oh dam the next baby daddy or baby bump im holly wierd

By homecareking@aim.com

Hard to say who is the father of mj's kids just by looking at photo's online. DNA test only way for sure to find out who the lucky person would be.
Doesn't really matter anyways. I've heard rumors thru the grapevine that mj's death was just a big fat hoax and he is hideing out somewhere secluded.
Anyone else hear the same thing? These days anything could be possible if you grease the right hands to make it all happen but don't bet the farm on it though. Too many speculations going around these days. Everyday there is another rumor circulating to confuse the public. Your guess is as good as mine on what is real and what is made up. Have a great day to all :)

What part of Micharl Jackson's family situation am I interested in? None of it! Like so many other thinking people, I'm as tired of the MJS as I am with the new comprtitor, The Dead Kennedy Show displaced MJS on the blogs for about four days but in fact Michaels life and death was more wierder than Teddy's or maybe not. Anyway I like both of them to go away and stay away.

And yet you're posting about it. Interesting.

By bob

the child is culkin's if the girl
involved was taking the same sleep drugs as MJ
I suppose! thought culkin was gay as
a party balloon!

What!?

BTW, Culkin was or still is married so I'm not sure why you would think he was gay.

By Autumn

IT ALL SOUNDS LIKE BS TO ME. IF MJ LOVED HIS CHILDREN HE WOULD OF DONE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO GET HELP FOR HIS DRUG HABITS INSTEAD HE WAS THINKING OF HIMSELF ALL THE TIME. HE WAS BETTER OFF NOT HAVING ANY CHILDREN. HE IS THE KING OF POPPING PILLS. MJ IS NO EXAMPLE AND I WISH THE MEDIA STOP IDOLIZING HIM LIKE SOME GOD. HE WAS NOT AN EXAMPLE FOR PEOPLE TO LOOK UP TO HIM AS AN IDOL.

I agree in all you wrote. When MJ started the crotch grabbing, suggestive, moves in his act was when I stopped watching anything about him.To bad he went the way of so many and became an addict. Addicts are NOT good parents, people! Think about it with an open mind for a change.

Michael TRIED to IMPREGNATE McCauley???? Are you kidding me?

By shamrockdoc

I do not believe that "Mac" is the biological father of any of Mr. Jackson's children. However, like many others, I NEVER suspected that MJ contributed any of his own DNA to the mix, which is mainly why he chose to hide their fully caucasian features. He knew that people-especially his family, would raise questions as to why they were missing those strong Jackson features, that most of the grandchildren have, and judge him harshly again. I believe that MJ did not like the "Jackson" in him and chose not to pass it on. I believe that he felt that he had fully extracted those influences fully from his life, and wanted his children to be products of his love, his attention, his passions, and not his blood. He wanted them to exist in the most purest and unadulterated forms possible. Too bad they will be right where he never intended them to be-in the Jackson clan. However, in NOT being of MJ's blood, perhaps Joe will think twice before throwing them into show biz.

Angiebaby, you are right on. Any one can father or mother a child, but it takes a special person to be mommy or daddy. Michael loved his children. Did he make a mistake holding his baby over the balcony? Yes, but ask any parent including me and we will tell you that we did some pretty stupid things ourselves. There is not a parenting manual to raise your children by. All you can do is not make the same mistake again. Michael would have died for his children. If it came down to someone wanting to kill one of his children, Michael would have taken that bullet and told his child to run.

Michael, Donnie Osmond and myself were all 3 born within 3 1/2 months of one another. I grew up with them. I wish I could have accomplished a fraction of what Michael did for mankind. I hope what I have done measures up in some way or another.

The saddest part of all of this is that not only is Michael constantly being disgraced by many, but so is his mother. It just makes me sick to my stomach.

God Bless Michael and His Mother.

By autumn

ANN YOU GREW UP WITH THE JACKSONS AND THE OSMONDS???? YOU ARE A BIG FAT LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IN THE SAME BLOCK I SUPPOSED HA!! DO YOU KNOW WHERE BOTH FAMILIES LIVED. I CAN TELL YOU AND I DID NOT GROW UP WITH THEM. LOL.

By chigirlmi

Autumn - I'm only four years older than Michael and Donny and also would have referred to myself as growing up with them. THAT is most likely what Ann meant, not that she personally grew up as a neighbor. LOL.

By tmbteresa2

The phrase 'dumb as a box of rocks' comes to mind. I hop that figure of speech doesn't require an explanation as well!

By big johnson

The problem with considering Culkin as the father is that it would require having sex with a female, and that just ain't gonna happen....

You never heard of sperm donors? Test Tube Babies?
