MICHAEL JACKSON: WHO’S THE DADDY?

Just as you thought it couldn’t get any messier, the s@#t seriously hit the fan today when it was claimed Michael Jackson is not the biological father of his kids.

Rumors have been rife for years as to whether or not any of the King of Pop’s sperm played any part in the births of  his three children.

Well, if you listen to any of the rumors/gossip on the celebrity blogs today, it would appear not.

It just means, even after his death, the world will continue for a long time yet to discuss the bizarre life of Jacko.

And maybe his poor children will never know if they are the true offspring of one of the world’s greatest ever entertainers.

Meanwhile, a public service will be held Friday at Jackson’s Neverland Ranch in Santa Barbara.

A private service for family and close friends will be held on Sunday.

ROBERT PATTINSON’S IN WONDERLAND

Twilight star Robert Pattinson was out and about early today in Central Park, NYC, filming scenes for his latest movie, Remember Me.

Rob was actually looking a bit tired and tried to liven himself up by knocking back a giant coffee while puffing away on a cigarette.

He then began shooting scenes…where he seemed to be talking away to a giant rabbit at the famous Alice in Wonderland statue.

Is all this hard work sending him crazy? Give the guy a rest.

BRITNEY GOES BRUNETTE

Is it real or is it a wig??

We spotted Britney Spears out and about in Los Angeles on Sunday with new beau, Jason Trawick.

And she’s no longer blonde.

We’re not sure if The Britster was sporting a brunette wig or if in fact she’s actually dyed her locks.

What we do know is, last time she had such a drastic hair change she had her mental meltdown.

Are we on for some new crazy antics from Britney or is she in a different place now? Watch this space!

JACKO’S MOM SHOPS AT TARGET JUST HOURS AFTER SON’S DEATH

It’s a crazy world we live in…just ask the Jackson family.

You would think with all their fame and fortune, someone could have offered to run errands for Michael Jackson’s mom Katherine just hours after she had received the devastating news of her son’s death.

But NO! Instead, she headed off to Target in Los Angeles where she stocked up on sleeping bags, presumably for family and friends who will be jetting into California for Jacko’s funeral.

LIZ TAYLOR’S TRIBUTE TO TRAGIC FRIEND MICHAEL JACKSON

Elizabeth Taylor just released a heartfelt statement following Michael Jackson‘s sudden and shocking death yesterday:

"My heart … my mind are broken. I loved Michael with all my soul and I can’t imagine life without him," Taylor, 77, said. "We had so much in common and we had such loving fun together."

Like many people, Taylor says she was looking forward to Jackson’s highly anticipated return to the stage in the U.K. next month. "I was packing up my clothes to go to London for his opening when I heard the news. I still can’t believe it," she says. "I don’t want to believe it. It can’t be so."

Taylor, who stood by Jackson through the good times as well as the difficult ones – including when he faced allegations of child molestation – says her friend "will live in my heart forever, but it’s not enough. My life feels so empty."

"I don’t think anyone knew how much we loved each other. The purest, most giving love I’ve ever known. Oh God! I’m going to miss him. I can’t yet imagine life with out him.

"I guess with God’s help … I’ll learn. I keep looking at the photo he gave me of himself, which says, ‘To my true love Elizabeth, I love you forever.’ And, I will love HIM forever. "

WEEKS BEFORE MICHAEL JACKSON’S CAUSE OF DEATH IS KNOWN

The anguished family of Michael Jackson could be forced to wait up to two months before they know what killed the King of Pop.

A final verdict on Jacko’s autopsy will not be possible until toxicology test results are confirmed, which could take "six to eight weeks," the Los Angles Coroner’s office told the Associated Press today.

Assistant chief Ed Winter said an autopsy examination would last several weeks.

"We will be performing toxicology tests and an extensive exam and it could take up to six to eight weeks before we will have the final results from the onset, from last night," Winter said.

Winter said a preliminary report on the cause of death would likely be deferred until the test results are known.

"Probably that the case, the cause of death is going to be deferred until we get the results of all the tests," Winter said.

"However, we did want to let people know that the exam is being conducted this morning. We’ll probably start in a few minutes."

Winter would not comment when asked about what physicians had found after initial examinations of the star’s body.

He also declined to comment on reports the star had been given a powerful painkiller shortly before he collapsed at his home.

"I can tell you the likelihood is slim that we will have any results released today because of the extent and level of the tests we are going to be performing," Winter said.
