Parentage of singer’s children in question

BIZARRE in life, Michael Jackson’s complex personal affairs are taking even stranger twists in death, with sketchy reports yesterday of plans for an elaborate public memorial and questions over the parentage of his children.

After days of television replays of Jackson’s hit songs and glowing tributes to his musical genius, attention has turned to the murkier side of the Thriller singer.

Celebrity website TMZ.com, which broke the news of Jackson’s death, reported the entertainer was not the biological father of his three children and that his ex-wife, Debbie Rowe, was not the genetic mother of the eldest two.
