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.Oh Come On: Culkin as Blanket's Dad?
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.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).

Regardless of whose sperm is rumored to be THE sperm, Michael Jackson raised all 3 of these children from babies as his own flesh and blood. His nurturing, protection, love, guidance, education, extended family ties and loving home environment makes him their father. Personally, I think that's all that needs to be addressed unless the children themselves bring it up when they are older. Unless or until then, all that is our business in this matter is known to us. Take a damn hint, people.

You are so right. Who cares who the sperm donor was? He was their father and that is all that matters

Good points, Angiebaby. All of those children are mixed... So what? None of us, will have to pay for their existence... They are covered, MJ, was the father in every sense of the word...

Hey Amanda - we have all made mistakes in parenting. I don't agree with the baby over the balcony thing - but that was one moment out of millions in that child's life. Michael Jackson was definately a strange bird - however he did his best to give those children a good private life. PRIVATE - that is something that has gone down the toliet since MJ's death. I think everyone needs to leave this topic alone

Thank you Angiebaby finally some one has spoken with some sense. I am so sick of people saying Michael Jackson DNA is not that of those kids. First of all it's none of anybodies business what paternity those children have. People need to stop and think of how those kids who just lost thier daddy feel when they hear people saying he's not their dad. People need to just leave it alone the fact is he raised them, they are his children, and they lost their father. Think of those children and their feelings before any one says something so mean. Thanks again Angiebaby for finally putting it out their the way you did.:)
I love Michael Jackson{ R.I.P}

i totally agree with u
biological father or not the kids no MJ as their father and let it stay that way. Michael raised those kids so it doesn't matter whose sperm it was..it's not like you can take the kids away and say oh michael jackson is not your father go to this guy he's your real father. THATS CRAZINESS ! So they really need to calm down with michael's personal life.

I agree. When someone adopts a child, it is there kid. Not the adopted kid. cmon people get a life. He was a good dad and his children loved him. let him rest in peace and with dignity. If his children want to know who there maternal parents are, then they can find out on there own when they are adults and if they do they can thank them for the opportunity to have such a wonderful life that their father gave them.

I agree---I think that it is a sad day when people can't let the kids alone--they are children what difference does it make--who the bio father is that person apparently didn't want them or someone would be stepping forward, MJ was released of his charges let them go--and as far as his parenting doesn't come with an instruction booklet so he made mistakes--the only reason it is being talked about is because it is MJ--he was more than just a tabloid he had really life just like everyone else and I have yet to meet the perfect parent

The media needs to stop dragging the kids through the ud.They've lost their father. Their mother should be in Belview. Micheal raised then as his own. Not asking anyone to help him. if these kids were in the welfare program. They wouldn't care who the mother slept with. We all would just pay for it. No questio asked. So get over it people. Let them be.

Is this all you have to do all day sit and write about someone elses life? The man is gone let him rest in peace and his children don't need to grow up reading all of this. It is none of anyone's business but theirs.
