Paris' Dad Not Gay Dermatologist - Actor Claims! He May Be Daddy
Actor Claims He May Be Paris' Daddy
The godfather of Michael Jackson's three kids says he "could be" the father of Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris .. and it sounds like he may be waging a legal fight.Mark Lester -- a longtime friend of Jackson's -- says M.J. asked him if he would donate sperm during the time the singer was married to Debbie Rowe. He says a London clinic contacted him and he obliged with the donation.
Lester claims there's an uncanny resemblance between his 15-year-old-daughter Harriet and Paris.
Lester, who spoke with News of the World, says he is willing to take a paternity test.
Lester says he has "concerns about the welfare and upbringing of the children." Lester says he does not currently have contact with Jackson's three kids and it's "heartbreaking."
Lester did not say he's gearing up for a legal fight, but the signs are there ....
UPDATE: 2:27 AM ET: Katherine Jackson's lawyer, Londell McMillan, is scoffing at Lester's claim and the move made by Dr. Arnold Klein's lawyer in court last Monday. McMillan said, "These genetic lottery attempts aren't going anywhere. They have no legal standing. They may seek 5 seconds of fame but the claims have no merit."

Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris Jackson, broke hearts at the King of Pop's memorial service when she referred to him as 'Daddy' and 'the best father you could ever imagine.'
Columbia Pictures
Former child star Mark Lester, however, says that he believes Paris to be his daughter.
TMZ.com
If the Jackson children had any other father, though, they've never seemed aware of it.
British child star Mark Lester says he's the father of Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris.
"I gave Michael my sperm so that he could have kids - and I believe Paris is my daughter," said Lester, who played Oliver Twist in the 1967 flick "Oliver."
The 51-year-old told Britain's News of the World he gave Jackson his semen 13 years ago and is godfather to all three of Jackson's children.
He believes Paris, 11, is his daughter because of an "uncanny likeness" between the girl and his own daughter, Harriet, 15. He wants to take a paternity test.
Lester said he donated his sperm at a London clinic while Jackson was married to Debbie Rowe.
"She's the birth mother of the children so I naturally assumed the sperm donation would obviously have gone into Debbie and Debbie would have borne the children," he said in a video posted on the paper's Web site.
He said he's coming forward now because he has "concerns about the welfare and upbringing of the children."
"I dearly want to remain in contact with those kids and I feel now this is the only way I can ensure that," he said.
Jackson and Lester were friends for more than 25 years and he reportedly spent the day with the Jackson kids after their father's memorial service last month.
"The kids seemed to be coping quite well and they are surrounded by their family right now," he said at the time. "They are very polite and quite quiet kids, and despite all the publicity surrounding them and their family, they are trying to keep things as normal as possible at home."

by Tom Moon
Every Wednesday this summer, we're offering a quick course in early rock 'n' roll. Your professor will be Tom Moon, NPR contributor and author of the book 1,000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die. These overviews, mostly covering music from the 1950s, are not intended to be comprehensive, but to help curious listeners dive in and explore some of the genre's often-overlooked building blocks. Whether you're a novice or a rock snob, join the conversation below.
THIS WEEK: SONGWRITING
Haters had a field day during the first decade of rock 'n' roll. Almost as soon as it appeared, the sensation was derided as animalistic and uncouth, the reckless expression of uncontrolled hormonal urges.
That's only part of what makes the music great. The performers had to have something to sing, and in the early days, the lucky ones snagged tunes that were as streamlined as a 12-bar blues and blessed with glowing, irresistible melodies. An astounding stack of those tunes (including "Jailhouse Rock," "Hound Dog," "On Broadway" and "Yakety Yak") were written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, the powerhouse tandem that brought cunning wit and sharp production values to "that crazy kids' music."
Here's one key breakthrough, "Hound Dog," which was recorded by Big Mama Thornton a few years before Elvis Presley covered it. Check out the young Buddy Guy on guitar:

The rapid ascent of rock 'n' roll in the '50s created serious demand for songs, and gave rise to a new cadre of tunesmiths. These behind-the-scenes talents, including the great lyricist Doc Pomus ("This Magic Moment" and "A Teenager in Love"), understood rock as a visceral experience -- and still managed to infuse songs about teen romance with a knowing adult perspective.
Pretty soon, though, performers began writing their own songs. Arguably the first great rock singer-songwriter was Buddy Holly, who borrowed elements of the frameworks used by Leiber and Stoller and then added his own infectious hook-phrases and guitar riffs. Holly's works, including the great "Peggy Sue" that's linked below, show that at its best, rock songwriting can be something more than nonsense syllables; it can be a thrillingly simple, even elegant, expression of desire.

Which was more important to the development of rock 'n' roll: the intense energy of the performers, or the melodies written by Leiber and Stoller and others?Besides blues form (and its derivations), are there other musical traits that turn up in many of the great early rock songs?
