Today’s top gossip:
Michael Jackson‘s doctor Arnold Klein has commented for the first time about allegations he fathered the singer’s two eldest children, Prince Michael I and Paris. Klein, who worked with the children’s mother (and Jackson‘s former wife) Debbie Rowe, failed to give a definitive answer when asked about his role. “I can’t say anything about it, but to the best of my knowledge, I am not the father of these children,” he explained. Klein added that he doesn’t want the children to be harmed, and that Jackson “deeply loved” them (The Sun).
