It seems that the lineage of Michael Jackson's second son, Prince Michael II (or Blanket as he sometimes calls him), is being called into question by the media.
Reports state that Jackson chose an attractive woman, who resembled Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek, from a book of egg donors.
Jackson then allegedly found a sperm donor to fertilise her egg.
Seemingly, if the reports are to be believed, Jackson was playing God and trying his hand at creationism.

The Jackogate Tapes
Jeffrey Borer and Arvel Jett Reeves have pleaded guilty to secretly videotaping Michael Jackson, in November 2003, when he flew to Santa Barbara with his attorney Mark Geragos to surrender in the child-molestation investigation.
Borer and Reeves admitted by plea agreements that they installed two videorecorders, to record "a professional entertainer" and his lawyer November 2003.
They entered their plea to U.S. District Judge A. Howard Matz.
The federal prosecutors have agreed to dismiss two other charges, endeavouring to intercept oral communication and witness tampering.
They face up to five years in prison, and a fine of $250K.

Jermaine Puts The Boot In
One of Michael Jackson's brothers, Jermaine Jackson, has put the boot into Michael's well crafted image and doubtless ensured that Michael will never to talk to him again.
Jermaine submitted a book proposal in 2003, working title "Legacy: Surviving The Best and Worst", the details of which have now reached the media.
In the proposal, Jermaine says that he watched Michael fall into vicious rages as a result of him being high on a mixture of prescription drugs and drink.
Jermaine also questions Michael's behaviour around his own nephews.
Quote:
"Does he really know what he does with these kids? I don't want to tell you my brother's innocent. I am not certain that he is.
Michael couldn't survive one day in prison he would commit suicide. He has a thing for young children."
Jermaine states that the Jackson family has protected Michael's image, and that at the start of his career they thought that he was gay.
Quote:
"But Michael, well, he wasn't interested. We used to quietly say that we couldn't have a gay brother."
Jermaine also notes that Michael cheats, lies and has changed the colour of his skin (I think everyone knew that).
Allegedly Michael's behaviour towards his own nephews left the Jackson family "shaken". Jermaine claims that he found Michael holding brother Tito's young sons in a disturbing manner in the mid-1990s, after their mother died.
According to Jermaine, Michael hates Jews; in Jackson's (if the proposal is to be believed) mind Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen stole the idea for Dreamworks studio, including the boy-on-the moon logo, from him.
In an unpleasant piece of anti semitism in the proposal, Jermaine says:
"The Jews are the powerful ones and they have done a lot to put my brother in his place ... just another n**ger."
The proposal, for good measure, then lists Michael's drugs of choice; Vicodin, Demerol, codeine and Percocet, cocaine, Jack Daniels and wine.
If the family really had worries about Michael's behaviour towards children, why did they not intervene to stop it worsening?

Jackson Converting To Islam?
The rumour mill concerning Michael Jackson's possible conversion to Islam has gone into overload, after he pledged to erect a mosque in Bahrain.
Jackson has obtained planning permission to build a 30 metre building outside Manama, on land adjoining the palace of the Bahraini royal family.
Jackson was a Jehovah's Witness, but since his arrival in Bahrain has been regularly seen in shopping malls wearing a Muslim abaya robe, which is traditionally worn by females.
Raymone Bain, Jackson's spokesperson, said:
"Michael is looking to give something back to the country that has welcomed him so openly."

Has Jackson Left Bahrain For Good?
The media is awash with rumours that Michael Jackson, currently in Europe, has left his temporary Bahrain bolt hole for good.
However, a Bahraini official close to Jackson has denied the reports.
The official said that Jackson had gone on vacation to Europe with his family, and was in touch daily with Sheik Abdullah; allegedly he is coming back to Bahrain in a few days.

Mesereau Denies Split
Tom Mesereau, Michael Jackson's lawyer, has denied reports that he has dropped Jackson because of late payments.
Last week Mesereau withdrew from two impending lawsuits. However, Mesereau insists that he never intended to form a long-term partnership with Jackson. He also states that he remains close friends with Jackson.
Quote:
"I am very disturbed by the false, erroneous, and self-serving reports about the relationship between Michael Jackson, my law partner, Susan Yu, and me.
For approximately seven months, we assisted Michael Jackson in this effort. We never intended to assume these obligations on a permanent basis.
We are still in communications with Michael Jackson, and his assistants, and remain close friends. People should leave Mr Jackson and his family alone."

Mesereau Quits
Tom Mesereau, Michael Jackson's lead attorney in last year's child molestation case, has quit his position as Jackson's lawyer.
Mesereau and his partner, Susan Yu, resigned yesterday. They were representing Jackson in his $4M lawsuit brought by Jackson's ex-business partner Marc Schaffel.
However, neither Mesereau nor Yu appeared for Schaffel's deposition last week.
It appears, according to reports, that Mesereau has quit because he is not getting paid.
It is very unwise of Jackson to treat the lawyer, who won the molestation case, in this manner.

The Debbie and Michael Saga
The ongoing legal spat between Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe, over custody of her children, has spilled out into the media again.
This time court documents have been released that show that Rowe originally received $5M from Jackson, when they divorced and she agreed to give up the children. On top of that, she also received a mansion in Beverly Hills and an allowance of $900K per annum (until she started speaking about Jackson in public).
Other documents released quote Rowe as saying:
"I have just been advised by Michael's 'inner circle' that he is abusing drugs and I was even given the name of the physician that is prescribing all of Michael's medications, which I fear is dangerous not only to Michael but also to the children."
Why do celebrities even bother to get married?

Fake Jackson Attends Party
Kudos to the fake Michael Jackson, who gate crashed a black tie charity event in Roxbury Comprehensive Community Health Center Boston this weekend.
He managed to "blag" his way in, and gain VIP treatment for himself and about a dozen chums.
Officials at the event were seen to escort "Jackson" and his entourage to a private balcony.
Jenny Hoefel, an executive with the event organiser, said that "Michael Jackson" did make a donation via credit card to the charity!
Given the real Jackson's financial difficulties, it is entirely possible that the contribution from the fake may in fact be more likely to be honoured.

Katrina Album May Be out...Soon
Six months after hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, Michael Jackson's much vaunted single allegedly designed to help the victims may actually be released; soon.
In a telephone interview from Dubai last week, Sheik Abdullah bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the son of Bahrain's king, is quoted as saying:
"The record is coming along great. We've been taking our time to perfect it and mix it."
The working title for the single is now "I Have This Dream". Guest artists, according to the Prince, include; Snoop Dogg, R. Kelly, Ciara, Keyshia Cole, James Ingram, Jackson's brother Jermaine, Shanice, the Rev. Shirley Caesar and the O'Jays.
The Prince said that the release has been delayed because additional artists wanted to contribute.
He won't say who though:
"I'd like to keep that as a surprise."

Rowe Wins Round
Michael Jackson's ex-wife, Debbie Rowe, yesterday won a round in her battle over custody of her two children.
The appeals court ruled that her parental rights were not properly relinquished under the law. The appellate court said that the judge in the 2001 case, where Rowe gave up her rights to act as parent, did not handle it properly.
Indeed the original judge, Steven M. Lachs, acknowledged in 2004 that he failed to have state officials do an independent investigation into what was in the best interests of the children.
The ruling quoted from Rowe's original motion in October 2001.
"Michael has been a wonderful father to the children and I do not wish to share parenting responsibilities with Michael because he is doing so well without me. I want to forever give my any and all rights pertaining to the children because I believe that by doing so, it is in the children's best interests."
Rowe changed her mind two years later, claiming that the publicity surrounding Jackson's alleged molestation of children had been the reason for her change of heart.
Rowe is quoted as saying:
"I am thrilled with today's ruling."
