There’s a brouhaha this weekend about whether Jackson family friend Mark Lester, best known for playing the title role in the Oscar winner “Oliver!,” may be the biological father of Paris Jackson’s, Michael’s daughter. (Lester is already Paris’ godparent.) The Jackson family, and appaently Lester, are disputing that he claimed to be, or that such a fact would change any custody issues. They do concede Lester donated sperm to Michael, but that Paris is not his offspring.
OK, fine. But this is what I don’t get that everyone seems to have missed: why the F@CK else would Michael Jackson WANT MARK LESTER’S SPERM???!!!? I mean, to me, it is far, FAR creepier to ask for a sperm donation and NOT use it to make a baby.
Jacko just keeps gettin’ weirder and weirder.
jacko keeps getting weirder and weirder? He obviously asked lester for a donation for a child. If it wasn’t used then maybe he changed his mind and used a donation from somewhere else. Ofcourse the jackson family are gonna dispute it. If they didn’t know and it hasn’t been confirmed then its only natural that they’ll dispute it. You.re making it out to be weirder than it is. Jackson obviously had his reasons for not using his own sperm.
“Making it out to be weirder than it is? Obviously had his reasons?” Sorry, Dan, if I went around asking my friends to hand over their sperm because I “may or may not use it to make a baby,” they would think I was insane. And rightly so.
The whole Michael Jackson story will continue to get stranger and stranger. He was one screwed up guy. Made great music though.
Why not use his sperm? Well my guess would be not only because he had a disease that might be genetic, but because he had screwed up his system so much with drugs that his sperm count was very low. Just a guess.
Maybe using his own sperm would have produced children that were more like Michael’s actual heritage and he obviously has issues with being/staying black. Naturally, he would have wanted to use someone of another race’s sperm if he were trying to produce light/almost white children like he did..
Why does everyone believe that Michael Jackson actually asked Mark Lester to donate sperm? That is a totally unprovable claim. Lester knows there is no legal basis for requiring a paternity test, so why not offer to take one, when he knows no one will take him up on it. Ridiculous that he would make such a claim AFTER Michael Jackson has passed away. If there was concern, Michael Jackson could have made provisions for Lester to care for the children in case of his passing, and he did not. That says it all.
