Michael Jackson: Never Adopted His Kids, Their Real Father Revealed, Joe Jackson Snubbed

June 30, 2009 By Crista Webster 8 Comments

So much for letting Michael Jackson rest in peace. After several emails begging for the scoop, we have broken our rule and here is the dirt. (The Dame is a sucker for begging.)

Not only is there still a great deal of speculation surrounding the pop icon’s death, even more is being revealed concerning his three children: Michael Jr., Paris, and Prince.

First, it is being reported that Jackson was NOT the biological father of the two oldest children (shocker), but also that he never legally adopted the children.

Via TMZ:

“We broke the story that neither Jackson nor Debbie Rowe are the biological parents of Michael Jr. and Paris. And Michael was not the biological parent of Prince Michael II either. Now here’s the rub. We’ve learned Jackson never filed legal papers to adopt any of his children. Legal experts tell us Jackson would be presumed the father but it’s not conclusive by any means.”

To make matters worse, US Weekly is reporting that the children’s biological father is actually Jackson’s former dermtologist (and Debbie Rowe’s boss), Arnold Klein.

Via US Weekly:

“He is the dad. He and Debbie signed an agreement saying they would never reveal the truth.”

When will this insanity end? And when will someone actually realize that there are children at the heart of this matter?

Apparently, not anytime soon. As of now, Michael’s mother Catherine, has been granted temporary custody of the kids. However, I have a little itch deep inside that is telling me once she learns Michael never officially adopted the children-and therefore aren’t entitled to any of his money-they will be shipped off to Debbie Rowe who will begin her stint on the talk show circuit.

In case you were wondering about what Jackson’s will stated, so is the rest of the world, the Jackson family in particular. Well, with one little exception. It seems that Michael left his father, Joe “I am about to launch a record label” Jackson out of the will entirely.
Via E!:

“The document—which will no doubt be the centerpiece of a lengthy and ferocious legal battle in months to come—divides the superstar’s estate among his mother, his three children (Prince Michael, Paris and Prince Michael II) and at least one charity.”

Catherine and Joe sought to control Michael’s estate claiming the pop star died without a will when this one, drafted in 2002, surfaced. A lawyer for the family is denying that any will has been presented to the family.

Michael Jackson’s Autopsy Results – Rumor

Reports of supposed autopsy results for singer Michael Jackson are making their way around the World Wide Web. According to the documents, Jackson’s body was emaciated and bald at the time of his death.

Via The New York Post:

“He was skin and bone, his hair had fallen out, and he had been eating nothing but pills when he died. Injection marks all over his body and the disfigurement caused by years of plastic surgery show he’d been in terminal decline for some years. There were four fresh injections around his heart, presumably from attempts to pump adrenaline into it to jumpstart it.”

Though the report seems plausible given the condition the pop icon was last seen in, other sources are reporting that the autopsy results are a fake.

Via TMZ:

“We’ve learned the story making the rounds detailing the terrible condition of Michael Jackson’s body is a fake. A report in The Sun gave harrowing details of the body, but we’ve learned the ‘autopsy report’ was fabricated and completely false.”

I don’t who to believe Kittens. Though I hate to admit it, TMZ was the first to accurately report Jackson’s passing.

These new rumors come only a day after Joe Jackson and daughter Janet made an appearance at the BET Awards. Though choked-up, Janet managed to state the following:

Via People:

“To you, Michael is an icon. To us, Michael is family. He will forever live in all of hearts. On behalf of my family and myself, thank you for all of your love, thank you for all of your support. We miss him so much. Thank you so much.”

As soon as an official cause of death is released, we will report it to you. Until then, we at Hollywood Dame are going to let Michael rest in peace.

Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, Dead at Age 50

June 25, 2009 By Holly Stafford 3 Comments

Today is a very, very sad day. On the heels of Farrah Fawcett‘s passing, news has surfaced that Michael Jackson has also died. He was only 50 years old. The legendary pop star suffered cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his home in Holmby Hills. A 911 call was made from his residence at 12:21pm pacific time. When paramedics arrived on the scene, Michael is said to have stopped breathing, with no visible pulse. After not being able to revive him, he was then was rushed to UCLA Medical Center and was said to have slipped into a coma for a short while before being pronounced dead around 3:15pm pacific time. The L.A. Times confirmed his death.

Jackson had been due to start a series of comeback concerts in London on July 13 running until March 2010. The singer, whose hits included “Thriller” and “Billie Jean,” had been rehearsing lately in Los Angeles for the past few months. A spokespersons for Jackson so far could not be reached for comment. Michael is survived by three children, Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince “Blanket” Michael Jackson II.

What a very sad week in Hollywood, indeed. First Ed McMahon, then Farrah Fawcett, and now Michael Jackson. Our thoughts, prayers, and hearts go out to the family and friends.

Michael Jackson Dying of Lung Condition – UPDATED

December 21, 2008 By Cara Harrington 5 Comments

Is ‘Blanket’ going to have to go live with Angelina Jolie and the rest of her rainbow nation? According to a story told by the author of Michael’s new autobiography, the Jackson babies will be without a daddy. Apparently he is slowly dwindling toward death. He is in need of a lung transplant in order to save his life according to a writer undertaking a biography of the singer.

Ian Halperin is behind a new book detailing the life of 50 year old Michael Jackson. In the biography, health issues are outlined and range from Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency to emphysema. The first condition is a possible fatal genetic illness which requires a lung transplant in Jacko’s case.

Via: The Sun

“He has had Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency for years, but it’s gotten worse. He needs a lung transplant but may be too weak to go through with it. He also has emphysema and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, which his doctors have had a lot of trouble stopping. He can barely speak, the vision in his left eye has 95 per cent.”

“For years Michael has been working with doctors to make sure it doesn’t progress. He has been on medications that have stabilised him.”

Jermaine Jackson confirmed to Fox News that his brother isn’t doing well and is indeed sick. Ian comes from a decent and pretty reputable writing background he was a writer for “Rolling Stone” magazine. He is an investigative journalist known for “Celine Dion: Behind the Fairytale,” as well as “Fire and Rain: The James Taylor Story” and “Hollywood Undercover.”

UPDATE:

Reps for Michael Jackson have finally called BS on Ian Halperin’s claims of Michaels lung issues. Ian’s work is an unauthorized biography and the statements he released to British newspapers are “total fabrication” according to the singer’s spokesman. According to Reuters the writer is up the creek of “untruths.”

“Concerning this author’s allegations, we would hope in the future that legitimate media will not continue to be exploited by such an obvious attempt to promote this unauthorized ‘biography,’” said the statement attributed to Tohme.

The writer’s wild allegations concerning Mr. Jackson’s health are a total fabrication,” the statement said. “Mr. Jackson is in fine health and finalizing negotiations with a major entertainment company and television network for both a world tour and a series of specials and appearances.”

Put the candles away and stop the prayer chains. Michael is even planning on touring…crazy masks and all. It looks like those old rumors of the Jackson 5 reuniting might not be completely out of the question. On a side note… it looks like Ian will be back working 3rd shift at “Taco Bell.”
