Reports: Michael Jackson not the biological father; Debbie Rowe was just a surrogate

Complications in Michael Jackson's untimely death are slowly revealing and developing. Reportedly, the King of Pop was not the biological father of any of his three children and Debbie Rowe is not the biological mother either. Debbie was just a surrogate that was well paid for her services.

According to TMZ, "Multiple sources deeply connected to the births tell us Michael was not the sperm donor for any of his kids. Debbie's eggs were not used. She was merely the surrogate, and paid well for her services in the births of Michael Jr. and Paris."

"In the case of Prince Michael II (the youngest), we're told the surrogate was never told of the identity of the "receiving parent" -- Michael Jackson. Three days after Prince was born at Grossmont Hospital in San Diego County, Jackson's lawyer came to the hospital to pick the baby up and deliver him to Michael. We do not know if Jackson chose the sperm or egg donors or if he even knew who they were."

These kind of things really proves that Michael has a roller coaster lifestyle. These will be a big issue in custody battle.

Cristine Reyes crown as 2009 FHM Philippines Sexiest Woman

Combination of her innocence and sultry image gave instant fantasies and appreciation for both men and women.

FHM Philippines named sexy vixen Cristine Reyes as the Sexiest Women in the World for 2009. She topple last year's winner Marian Rivera followed by Angel Locsin (former no.1 sexiest, 2005) and Katrina Halili (two-time FHM winner).

FHM described that "Cristine Reyes is the new religion! Truly we say unto you: Henceforth you shall be calling out her name and only her name. You will love her as you have the others before her and probably more, as she is the mystery of innocence and sensual danger personified. Rejoice! Rejoice! For she is the soft, supple, and the radiant, her skin an apparition from which emanates radiant light! She is the blinding light! Cristine Reyes, our miracle, our new reason for living, the new drug, the new sensation, now and ever after!"

It's only a matter of time that Cristine Reyes got the title, a deserved win for her. It's also a indirect payback for FHM to GMA actress Marian Rivera after the glossy mag failed to get Marian to be their cover girl.

Marian is the only non-FHM cover girl to win this top honor last year.

Gene Simmons thinks Adam Lambert killed his career due to his sexual preference

Playful long-tongued Kiss' bassist Gene Simmons feels that American Idol runner up Adam Lambert's career is doomed if he will not stop talking about his sexual preferences.

In his AOL interview, Gene said, "He's enormously talented, best talent 'American Idol' has had, but I think he killed his career because now the conversation is not about his talent but about his sexual preference. He's done. You're forcing people to deal with issues they may not be interested in. Life is unfair, and the masses don't all live in L.A. They live in Wisconsin and Nebraska, and you're on crack if you think the same rules apply there. My advice is still the same, shut the f*** up, just sing and let people say whatever they want. But I do wish him the best because he's got all the talent in the world."

"If only the world was not homophobic, but it is. I would be the first one to vote for equal rights for gay women and men, and get the church and the state to stop telling everybody how to lead their lives, but do I think he's killed his career? Oh, in an instant. I hope I'm completely wrong. I hope he becomes the next Beatles and proves me wrong."

According to Rollingstone, Gene thinks that Adam's voice is better if he sings ballads and Broadway songs.

“Respectfully, I don’t think Adam is a rock singer. He sounds much more convincing singing ballads and Broadway shows. His voice doesn’t seem to have a ‘rock quality.’ But, I’m sure he’s going to do just fine.”

The British Sun reported some shocking leaked information about Michael Jackson's autopsy but the Los Angeles County coroner said that the reports is fabricated and completely false.

And a mass of surgery scars were thought to be the legacy of at least 13 cosmetic operations."

Debbie Rowe can gain custody of the children but Jackson's family will not give it up

After Michael Jackson's untimely death due to heart attack, the custody of his three children Michael Joseph "Prince" Jackson, Jr.(12), Paris Michael Katherine Jackson (11) and Prince “Blanket” Michael Jackson II (7). will be a hot topic.

Dermatologist nurse Debbie Rowe, mother of Prince Michael and Paris can now gain custody if she chooses even though she gave up her custody rights to the father during the custody battle.

According to People, "During the custody fight between Rowe and Jackson in 2005, Rowe sought to give up her parental rights, and lauded Michael as a good father. Retired Judge Stephen Lachs, who presided over the hearing, at first agreed to terminate them, but then Lachs changed his mind and returned the rights to her."

"She lost them, and then she got them back," Finsilver says. Finsilver said she spoke to Rowe on Thursday but she cannot say what Rowe plans to do. "She was inconsolable."

But it seems Michael Jackson's family will not give up the custody of Prince Michael and Paris to Debbie Rowe.

According to TMZ, The family is currently gathered together and they are reacting to our story this morning that Rowe never legally gave up her custody rights. Under California law, Rowe is in a position to get custody of her biological kids if she wants them, provided it would not be detrimental to the children.

The family complained to us the kids don't even know Debbie Rowe -- she hasn't been a part of their lives. They say the kids must remain "within the family."

Jackson family attorney Brian Oxman says Jackson's mother would be a natural guardian for the kids but the decision still in hands of the court, "Katherine is the logical choice – she has all the grandkids and nieces around her but it will be up to the courts."

Their plans take a grim turn when their car breaks down on an isolated road starting a chain of events that will seal the fate of each of them in an inexorable and horrifying voyage of hell through a western landscape populated by only the hideous dead or the twisted living. Their desperate retreat south turns into a deadly battle against infected children, homicidal doctors, crazed survivalists, rabid dogs, and, finally each other. The virus is the least of their problems as horrible choices must be made in the face of lost humanity.

Lisa Marie Presley: Michael Jackson Knew he will end like Elvis "die young"

Michael Jackson's ex-wife Lisa Marie Presley tell some interesting things about her former husband and shared that Michael predicted that he will probably end like Elvis.

The ex-couple wed in the Dominican Republic in May 1994 and divorced in January of 1996.

Lisa Marie Presley entry on her Myspace blog: "HE KNEW"

"Years ago Michael and I were having a deep conversation about life in general.

I can't recall the exact subject matter but he may have been questioning me about the circumstances of my Fathers Death.

At some point he paused, he stared at me very intensely and he stated with an almost calm certainty, "I am afraid that I am going to end up like him [Elvis], the way he did."

I promptly tried to deter him from the idea, at which point he just shrugged his shoulders and nodded almost matter of fact as if to let me know, he knew what he knew and that was kind of that."

"14 years later I am sitting here watching on the news an ambulance leaves the driveway of his home, the big gates, the crowds outside the gates, the coverage, the crowds outside the hospital, the Cause of death and what may have led up to it and the memory of this conversation hit me, as did the unstoppable tears.

A predicted ending by him, by loved ones and by me, but what I didn't predict was how much it was going to hurt when it finally happened. The person I failed to help is being transferred right now to the LA County Coroners office for his Autopsy.

All of my indifference and detachment that I worked so hard to achieve over the years has just gone into the bowels of hell and right now I am gutted.

I am going to say now what I have never said before because I want the truth out there for once.

Our relationship was not "a sham" as is being reported in the press. It was an unusual relationship yes, where two unusual people who did not live or know a "Normal life" found a connection, perhaps with some suspect timing on his part. Nonetheless, I do believe he loved me as much as he could love anyone and I loved him very much.

I wanted to "save him" I wanted to save him from the inevitable which is what has just happened.

His family and his loved ones also wanted to save him from this as well but didn't know how and this was 14 years ago. We all worried that this would be the outcome then.

At that time, In trying to save him, I almost lost myself.

He was an incredibly dynamic force and power that was not to be underestimated.

When he used it for something good, It was the best and when he used it for something bad, It was really, REALLY bad.

Mediocrity was not a concept that would even for a second enter Michael Jackson's being or actions.

I became very ill and emotionally/ spiritually exhausted in my quest to save him from certain self-destructive behavior and from the awful vampires and leeches he would always manage to magnetize around him.

I was in over my head while trying.

I had my children to care for, I had to make a decision.

The hardest decision I have ever had to make, which was to walk away and let his fate have him, even though I desperately loved him and tried to stop or reverse it somehow.

After the Divorce, I spent a few years obsessing about him and what I could have done different, in regret.

Then I spent some angry years at the whole situation.

At some point, I truly became Indifferent, until now.

As I sit here overwhelmed with sadness, reflection and confusion at what was my biggest failure to date, watching on the news almost play by play The exact Scenario I saw happen on August 16th, 1977 happening again right now with Michael (A sight I never wanted to see again) just as he predicted, I am truly, truly gutted.

Any ill experience or words I have felt towards him in the past has just died inside of me along with him.

He was an amazing person and I am lucky to have gotten as close to him as I did and to have had the many experiences and years that we had together.

I desperately hope that he can be relieved from his pain, pressure and turmoil now.

He deserves to be free from all of that and I hope he is in a better place or will be.

I also hope that anyone else who feels they have failed to help him can be set free because he hopefully finally is.

The World is in shock but somehow he knew exactly how his fate would be played out some day more than anyone else knew, and he was right.

I really needed to say this right now, thanks for listening.
