Michael Jackson kids.

I was reading some news when I came across a link about Jacko, I clicked on it and just sort of looked over it, another “Jacko acts generally crazy type of thing”, not worth reading in its entirety but there was a picture of his kids.

I don’t know how to put this delicately, but… the kids are, erm… white?. And not like, light-skinned, blue-eyed kid product of much miscegenation, like my daughter (who still looks a bit like me), but like “not his at all” kinda white.

Are these really his kids? Is it possible that out of 3 kids none look anything like him (or, well, like he used to look)? I am somewhat curious.

I always understood he had his plastic surgeon’s nurse (the kids’ mom) artificially inseminated, and assumed it was his sperm. Maybe I assumed wrong?

At any rate, those are cute kids. They look way more normal than I thought they would.

I thought a couple of them were supposed to be boys. Those all look like cute little girls to me. So okay, maybe they DO look like him. :stuck_out_tongue:

Does MJ even have sperm?

Which one is Blanket?

Oh wait that was Mr. Jefferson’s kid. Nevermind.

This is a picture of the actress Victoria Rowell with her two children, both of whom she gave birth to.

Damn! Same dad?

No, her daughter’s father is a man named Tom Fahey. Her son’s father is Wynton Marsalis.

Oh, I know that mixed people can give birth to lighter-skinned kids (I need to look no further than my own family), what I mean is that none of these three kids look at all like him. What are the odds?

ETA: To be fair, neither of Ms. Rowell’s kids look like her. Talk about weak genes. :wink:

Would anyone really put it past him to use someone else’s sperm? I can barely see them, though – knowing they’re his kids, when I look at the photo I just go crazy wondering what the hell their lives are like and how long I’ll have to wait for the tell-alls.

Let me just say this about that: I’m sure those kids have stories to tell their buddies and classmates after weekend family get-togethers.

LOVE the shirt that the girl is wearing!!! :wink:

The kids look like they might have a touch of non-white ancestry going on there to me. But do I think they are his biological kids? Hell to the naw.

Latest photo of MJ, taken after he’d been perusing the children’s book section of a Barnes & Noble in his pajamas and slippers.

Heh! I didn’t even notice that this is the same timeframe as the picture in the OP, where he can barely be seen in the background being wheeled out of the store.

I wouldn’t use the term “put it past him” (it makes it sound sinister). If he was married to her when the births took place, they’re his kids legally. I’m guessing adoption would have been a bit difficult for a guy like him, and I wouldn’t at ALL be surprised if any sort of sexual relationship was out of reach for him (he seems so emotionally immature to me). I vote for artificial insemination.

I have a friend. She’s black with brown eyes. She’s married to a blond haired, blue eyed very pale white guy. They have boy / girl twins from IVF. The boy is blond haired and blue eyed while the girl has her coloring and eyes. One of the more amusing things about their family is that the boy’s facial structure looks like her while the girl clearly draws her cheekbones from her father.

All the plastic surgery in the world isn’t going to change Jackson’s genes. Remember, folks, this is the real Michael Jackson. His kids would inherit those genes. Sorry, but I do not think that those kids could possibly be biologically related to Michael Jackson.

The creepy thing is, they look like they could be Jacko’s kids if Jacko’s current appearance was natural, and not the result of ludicrous amounts of cosmetic surgery. He must have used a sperm donor who looks sorta like Jacko does now. (Before his face collapsed, at least.)

Well, I don’t know about the paternity, but those pictures in the OP aren’t the best. I googled this and picked the first thing that came up and got this.Clearly the same kids, but they look a little darker in these pictures. And the picture of the littlest one near the bottom of the article seems to have the same facial structure as say, Janet Jackson, so unless she’s had a ton of cosmetic surgery too, I guess it could be possible.

A little while back there was a news story about a black/white couple (in England?) who had a set of fraternal twin daughers, and one girl looked completely “black,” while the other looked completely “white.” In general, a mixed-race couple’s kids will have coloring somewhere in between the parents, but there is a very small chance that they will look almost completely like one or the other. In the case of these twins, everything was genetically tested, and all was legit. It just happened that the genes worked out in that incredibly unlikely manner.

If one child of his turned out to be really white-looking, I could buy it. Two, not so much. Three? Absolutely positively not.

Did he ever claim that they were biologically his?

What I want to know is why the hell is Jackson riding around in a wheelchair?

Better question, they got a Barne’s & Noble’s in Bahrain? Why was I not informed?
