Michael Jackson's friend claims to be Paris' father
Michael Jackson's longtime friend Mark Lest is claiming he donated the sperm that resulted in Paris Jackson coming out of Debbie Rowe's uterus, according to TMZ:
Lester, who spoke with News of the World, says he is willing to take a paternity test.
Lester says he has "concerns about the welfare and upbringing of the children." Lester says he does not currently have contact with Jackson's three kids and it's "heartbreaking." Lester did not say he's gearing up for a legal fight, but the signs are there ....
Katherine Jackson's lawyer, Londell McMillan, is scoffing at Lester's claim and the move made by Dr. Arnold Klein's lawyer in court last Monday. McMillan said, "These genetic lottery attempts aren't going anywhere. They have no legal standing. They may seek 5 seconds of fame but the claims have no merit."
You know what amazes me about these stories? The incredible amount of sperm management these guys have. "She was conceived on what date? *checks calendar* Why, yes, that was my sperm. I was wearing green socks and a party hat the day I produced it." Are you kidding me? I'm lucky if I remember where I left my keys let alone my seed of life. Which probably explains all that child support I'm paying, but you get where I'm coming from.

Este homem não tem nenhum amor próprio e chega a ser bem ridículo ele vim e falar que é o pai biológico da filha de Michael. Michael tinha razão em não confiar nas pessoas porque quem tem um amigo como esse, quem iria precisar de inimigo. Deixe os filhos dele em paz!!!!!!!!

He sure had a lotta friends willing to help out a bit. And they are all so very happy to help themselves to the fortune that-- oh, I mean, they are all so very concerned with the welfare and happiness of the children blah blah where's the money blah blah blah you're my sperm so I got dibs blah blah blah.
I don't get it though. Why did he need a donor? Were his balls burned off in that Pepsi commercial accident?

What a jerk. It makes no difference. The child considered Michael Jackson her father, not this wannabe sperm donor.
Regardless, he has no legal standing to challenge the custody. No one will care, except the tabloids.

Nobody cares. Nobody.

I would be surprised if this guy was white enough for Michael. Now if some Blond Norwegian steps out to claim that he whacked off for the good of mankind then I might have to look twice.

While all these "wanna-be" sperm donors are coming out of woodwork, Michael's body is still in a refrigerator in a morgue more then a month after his death. Can't they bury him so he could rest in peace? :-(

You people who worship MJ should face up to a few strange facts, some which have been known for years, (Mark Lester for instance), and some others which none of us can anticipate. MJ was so weird and so lost as shown by his public facade that we should not be surprised by anything that was private.
There was so much disinformation spread by his own people. Here's one example: Lisa Marie was quoted as saying that MJ spoke with a "regular" man's voice in private. Is that true or is it part of the conspiracy? Who knoows what to believe?

This kid's been living with Michael Jackson her whole life, and this guy's just now "concern[ed] about the welfare and upbringing of the children?"

The only thing that comes to mind is "You wanna be startin something". Everyone want a piece of the pie, but forgetting there are young children envolve. One day they will read about this and probably think these nuts are simply just nuts.

#7 You need to check out Mark Lester (from the musical "Oliver!") when he was a child star. - you'll get it then Just like Macauley Kulkin, Lester couldn't act - or sing - for shit, but he was bug's-ear cute so no one cared too much. Jackson would have been all over his ass when he was 10 or whatever, so wanting to have a little Lester running around isn't too surprising.

All these so-called sperm donors are white and a whiter shade of pale to be exact. All of Michael's children are dark skinned, so how do they get off saying this, and Debbie Rowe is obviously a natural blond and very pale. It is obvious to see, and you don't have to be a medical professional, that none of these jerks are the bio-dad. I hate Michael Jackson and his music, but these opportunist are trying to get their grubby little hands on the kids' money that's all folks!
15. Urbanspaceman - August 9, 2009 7:36 PM
#14: Debbie Rowe wasn't the "mother", she was a surrogate. That's why.

14. "All of Michael's children are dark skinned" Paris is pale white with blonde hair. Time to get your eyes checked. Those arent michaels kids, theyre all white, wake the hell up.
17. devilsrain - August 9, 2009 8:54 PM
Ok she has dark hair, time to get my memory checked

I certainly hope the courts don't allow delving into the biologies of these poor kids. Isn't it sad that their paternity (and maternity!) is continually discussed and analyzed in the press?
20. Oh my - August 10, 2009 2:12 AM
What the hell happened to Oliver? How dare he grow so old.
And who cares who the parents of those children are. Like it really makes a difference.
21. dk - August 10, 2009 2:21 AM
@14 if you think those kids are dark skinned you really need a new tv HOLY DOODLE
22. Sickitten - August 10, 2009 2:51 AM
#7, 'xactly. I'm thinking this guy is too mousey looking to be the Dad. All that money MJ had, why would he choose this Will Ames looking guy? Debbie Rowe is probably a surrogate, MJ was too wealthy to move her lot on, for real!

Save every penny that's what makes the whole world going round. Anyway it is just a matter of time that we all have to do.

I heard from friends Mark Foley was looking for my phone #....wonder what he wants, im too old to be an intern....
25. Narcissist - August 10, 2009 8:35 AM
Mark Lester has shown concern for the children in a discreet and responsible manner...by throwing dirty laundry to the tabloids for CASH MONEY BABY!
@ 4- Michael musta figured his sperm wasn't white enough to get some super white kids. Michael Jackson united self-loathing black people all over the world!
Actually Paris is sorta Nicole Richie looking to me. Kind of dusky looking. See how pasty the regular honkys are compared to her?

The boy had his hair blond at some point.
26. Rhialto - August 10, 2009 9:11 AM
Knowing the facts that Mark Lester is a former child star turned into an osteopath.Which were double credits in the eyes of MJ.
27. Darth - August 10, 2009 9:14 AM
Former childstar And doctor.That's double viagra to MJ.
28. Galtacticus - August 10, 2009 9:20 AM
He seemed to be the Macaulay Culkin of his day (Oliver! 1968).I wouldn't be suprised if it turns out that he's the donor.
29. Gando - August 10, 2009 9:27 AM
He looks a lot like MJ's dr. Klein too!?
30. superstar - August 10, 2009 10:37 AM
Poor Michael Jackson :( I think he would've had great looking kids, since his natural look isn't like how he was after plastic surgery :P
So what happened? Jackson injected his friend's sperm into him then had sex with Debbie Rowe?
31. Bianca - August 10, 2009 12:51 PM
he's stupid ofcourse it's not true this man is crazy! Paris would rather have Michael as her father then a sperm donor he can go and f#ck him self!!!!!!!!
32. Patrice - August 10, 2009 2:19 PM
Here's the thing that I don't get: so, Michael supposedly wanted his "beloved" mother to have custody of the children, but his monster of a father to have zero contact with them...well, poor Michael MUST have been really drugged at the time beacuse his parents are still married! How the hell did he/they think that would work out? I'm so confused.
33. Sandro - August 10, 2009 2:24 PM
Micheal could not have died in peace wondering what would become of his kids. Unfortunately he couldn't have his own kids because he was castrated, but still, he could have had a sister be a surrogate? that would have made more sense. After being castrated as a child, nobody would be sane... so who can blame him.
