We’ve actually seen something similar once before. Anyone remember the confusion surrounding the daughter of Anna Nicole Smith? Michael Jackson’s three kids are Dannielynn times six, because almost anybody could claim to be the mother or father of the three. While it’s an accepted fact that Debbie Rowe is the biological mom to the two oldest Jackson heirs, no one knows much about the third - and we know even less about the male DNA used to create the tots.

Or…do we? Former child actor and Jackson friend Mark Lester has stepped forward to say that he is the father of Paris Jackson, Michael’s sole daughter. Lester claims he was asked for sperm by Jackson in 1996. Lester says “it was a gift to him.” Further, Lester claims that Paris looks a great deal like his own daughter Harriet.

He says he’ll take a test to prove his point, adding “I want to have contact with her, Prince and Blanket regardless of whether any or all of them are mine.” You see, Lester is the godfather to all of Michael Jackson’s children.

But is he more than that from a biological standpoint? And if he is, what does it mean legally? Unless Lester can prove he’s a parent and wants to make an issue out of it in court, he’ll simply have to work things out with appointed guardian Katherine Jackson.
