Remember when Michael Jackson told Billie Jean that the kid was not his son? I don't know about you, but I never found that particularly difficult to believe. However, sources reported last week that the King of Pop became a pop, much to the bewilderment of everyone in the world who understands the general gist of child conception.
Maybe all that Sony Music/Tommy Mottola bashing got the ol' testosterone flowing again, or maybe the utter failure that was the Invincible album inspired Jacko to work a little harder at his next "creative effort." Whatever the case, the musician introduced the child--his third--to a fairly grossed-out world at a Siegfried and Roy show in Las Vegas. Talk about an unbelievable trick.
By the way, taking your kids to hang around with two tiger-loving German illusionists may not be tops on the list of smart parenting, but honestly, if your father is Michael Jackson, Aunt Siegfried and Uncle Roy's stock rises a little in the "suitable male role model" department.
Since the announcement of little Prince Michael II (a name he shares with his brother because "Publicity Stunt III" wouldn't fit on the birth certificate) there has been much speculation regarding the child's origins. Inside sources insist that Jackson obtained Prince II the "normal way." The "normal way" of course refers to the musician's preferred method of standing outside the local KB Toys with chocolate bars and asking tykes if they want to see his monkey.
Actually, the "normal way" may in fact be none other than Debbie Rowe, ex-wife of the pop star and mother of his two previous children. It has been rumored the two still maintain a relationship, and that relationship involves her lying about actually having sex with him. Ain't love grand?
Only time will tell if young Prince Michael II will inherit his father's musical talents, but one thing is certain--he will be weird-looking.
