Mark Lester Sort of Denies Own Claim of Being Paris Jackson's Father; Story Keeps Getting Weirder
Despite being quoted personally and seemingly professing to be the biological father of Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris Jackson, former child star Mark Lester isn't trying to cash in his ticket for the paternity lotto ... not just yet anyway.
"I'm sure, as far as I know, [the children] were all his," Mark Lester, who starred as the title character in the Oscar-winning Oliver, told E! News.
"I expected lots of things to come out, but this is extraordinary."
Not that the celebrity gossip tabloids who reported this completely made it up out of thin air. Mark Lester, 51, is the godfather of Paris, Prince Michael and Blanket and considered Michael Jackson a close friend for nearly 30 years.
Moreover, he admits that he once complied with Jackson's request to donate sperm to the pop star: "It's been a secret for so long," the osteopathic doctor admits. "In 1996 Michael asked me if I would give him my sperm and I said yes."
Lester also said it's possible his "gift" to Jackson could have been put to use ... one would have to imagine so, as it's kind of an unusual gift.
Michael Jackson's close friends Mark Lester and Dr. Arnold Klein didn't just provide trust and friendship to the late King of Pop. They both bestowed sperm at one point.
As for the Jackson three, while Lester told a British tabloid on camera that he can see "strong similarities" between his own 15-year-old daughter and Paris, he told E! that Michael was the only person the trio share an uncanny resemblance with.
"Paris is very pale and Prince has Michael's eyes," he said. "And certainly Blanket is facially very similar to Michael. I'm really amazed to hear that."
We were pretty amazed too ... when he said it.
Another Jackson friend, Dr. Arnold Klein, lodged an objection in court last week to Katherine Jackson, Michael's mother, being granted full custody.
Why does Klein want a say in how the kids are raised? Klein is also rumored to be the father of Paris - and Prince Michael - and also donated sperm.
In an unrelated note, a woman named Claire Elisabeth Fields Cruise just filed three guardianship papers alleging that she's the mother of all three.
Another alleged Jackson baby mama, Billie Jean Jackson, appeared in court this morning for the estate hearing in the King of Pop's case, as well.
Who is Paris Jackson's biological father?

What we all need to remember is that those three beautiful children were-are M.J's NO matter what a dna test says! He raised them he loved them he was as paris said the best daddy ever! And I belive that all three of them look like my fav.guy M.Jackson! Everyone says the kids need them in there life! What the kids need is EACHOTHER!! Not to be broken apart in any sort of way! They were a very close part of 4 and without michael they need eachother to stay strong and grow-up strong. Haveing all theese people come forward & want to claim one, or two of them is so damaging to there mind set! If "they" REALLY care about the kids, they'll leave them alone, together with one another their family sadly now the party of 3!

I agree with Swe and iris
this was my comment on prev. topic :
michael was a genius.
MJ asked for sperms from Lester, Klein,...etc.
or even eggs from .....
So they thought they fathered and mothered the kids.. and
they cared about them and MJ could trust them with the kids..
Their flesh and blood..?
They were fooled by MJ...Ha..Ha..
they are MJ kids anyway
gotcha!
Michael knew who these lester, klein,....were...cannot be trusted.

Yeah the sure he had one
MICHAEL JACKSON GOLD PANTS!!! ;-)
*sexy* and well equipped!
I personally think no MAN can carry the look MICHAEL carried as SEXY! ONLY he could have done IT and still be SEXY!
It's really SAD that the MEDIA also hid the fact that THE MAN was STYLISH and SEXY by displaying altered and bad photos of his when he was alive.
What a SAD world we live in. But I'm glad MICHAEL never gave up he always FOUGHT BACK!
The MAN had more STRENGTH than any of us. CAN YOU IMAGINE being in his shoes suffering the unjust ridicule by the MEDIA, backstabbing/greedy friends and family, health problems. He really was AMAZING a power in himself.

Oh get real! Michael Jackson doesn't need another man's sperm to make a baby, he has a dick!
