Who’s Yo’ Momma? Katherine Jackson Asks Judge To Disregard The Paternity of Michael Jackson’s Kids

Let Michael rest in peace! Geez. Can we honor the man’s legacy without constantly dragging up the paternity of his kids? Katherine Jackson Asks Judge to Disregard The Paternity of Michael Jackson Kids According to The National Enquirer The secrets that Michael Jackson took to his grave about the paternity of his three children could now explode in court! In a bid to keep those secrets, the late super­star’s mother Katherine pleaded with a judge to disregard the identity of his children’s biological parents during the $40 billion wrongful death suit she’s filed against con­cert promoter AEG Live. The judge agreed to keep the paternity of Prince, 16, Paris, 15, and Blanket, 11, out of court. But sources say the informa­tion may yet become public during the upcoming trial, which could drag on for months. “KATHERINE HAS CLEARLY BEEN told by her attorneys that AEG wants to explore the rumors about the children’s paternity to create doubt about whether they are his true ben­eficiaries,” a Jackson family insider told The ENQUIRER. “Now she’s doing everything possible to prevent the children – and the public – from learning how these kids actually came into the world.” Katherine’s lawsuit demands that AEG Live pay Michael’s heirs, in­cluding his children, a whopping $40 billion in damages related to their hiring and supervising of Dr. Conrad Murray, who’s been con­victed of involuntary manslaughter in Michael’s drug-related death on June 25, 2009. And the 82-year-old family matriarch took a dramatic turn toward winning the case on March 14, when her lawyers filed a bombshell legal motion in Los An­geles Superior Court, arguing that “evidence intended to show that Michael Jackson is not the biological father of his children is irrelevant” to the suit. The motion also said: “Evidence intended to show who the biological mother is of the children is also irrelevant” to the case. While the judge agreed with Kather­ine’s argument, sources say her legal victory may be short-lived. According to a published report, sources within AEG claim the company has sworn affidavits, birth records and other ma­terial containing “irrefutable proof ” that only Blanket has Michael’s DNA, and Prince and Paris were fathered by different sperm donors. The acknowledged mother of Prince and Paris is former medical assistant Debbie Rowe, who was married to Michael from 1996 to 1999. But as The ENQUIRER reported in July 2009, widespread reports alleged Debbie’s boss, Michael’s dermatolo­gist Dr. Arnold Klein, fathered Prince and Paris, which Klein has denied. Other sources claimed the two were the result of an anonymous donor. “If AEG presents irrefutable proof that the two oldest children are not Michael Jackson’s biological children, they could actually get the upper hand in the case,” celebrity attorney Raoul Felder told The ENQUIRER. “It’s sad, but it would mean the chil­dren have no legal standing.” Meanwhile, Katherine fears Blanket could inherit some of Michael’s health problems, including the skin condi­tion vitiligo and the autoimmune disease lupus, said the source. “Right now, she’s watching all three kids closely and desperately trying to stop AEG from ruining their lives,” said the family insider. “The last thing Katherine wants is for family secrets to be blurted out in court.” Hopefully Ms. Jackson can finally make AEG pay for her son’s death!

Hate Crimes: Man Assaults Muslim Woman Following Reports of ‘Dark-Skinned’ Boston Bombing Suspects

Can we stop the violence? White folks not every “dark-skinned” person is out to get you. Man Assaults Muslim Woman Following Reports of Boston Bombing Suspects According to Raw Story A Muslim woman in Boston says that she was attacked by a white man on on Wednesday morning because he was apparently enraged by the Boston Marathon bombings and convinced, despite a lack of evidence, that the perpetrators were Muslim. Heba Abolaban told Malden Patch that she and her friend, who were both wearing hijabs, were walking on Commercial Street with their children when a white male in his thirties punched her in her left shoulder. “He was screaming ‘Fuck you Muslims! You are terrorists! I hate you! You are involved in the Boston explosions! Fuck you!’” she recalled. “Oh my lord, I was extremely shocked.” “I did not say anything to him,” she added. “Not even that we aren’t terrorists… he was so aggressive.” After about two minutes of confrontation, the man left and Abolaban called her husband and police. She said the police were “kind and helpful,” but no arrests had been made. The attack came the same day that CNN falsely reported that a “dark-skinned male” had been arrested in connection to the Boston Marathon bombings, and the day before the The New York Post published a photo of a “person of interest” with dark skin — who turned out to be Moroccan-American high school track runner. Since Tuesday, two police officers have been stationed outside the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center, the city’s largest mosque. Wayland Police Chief Robert Irving has also offered additional support to the Islamic Center of Boston. “We do increase our presence there, mostly just for the comfort of the people that go there,” Irving told Patch on Wednesday. “It reminds me of after 9/11, I did the same thing. I want to make sure they understand we’ll be extra vigilant and make sure their people and property are safe.” Do you think a conversation needs to happen in America to develop a tolerance for other cultures, races and ethnicities?

AUSTRALIA: Pool visitors told to cover up for Ramadan

FAMILIES in Victoria are being ordered to cover up before attending a public event to avoid offending Muslims during next year's Ramadan. The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) has approved a ban on uncovered shoulders and thighs for a community event to be held at the Dandenong Oasis, a municipal pool. “Participants aged 10 and over must ensure their bodies are covered from waist to knee and the entire torso extending to the upper arms,” a request by Dandenong City Council and the YMCA states in an exemption application to the Equal Opportunities Act. “Participants must not wear transparent clothing.” The request has been approved by VCAT and applies to a family event to be held at the pool next August. “The applicant intends this to be an event where people of all races and religions and ages may attend, use the Centre's facilities and socialise together,” VCAT notes. “The holy month of Ramadan has a particular focus on families and the applicant wishes to encourage families to attend and socialise together with others. “The minimum dress requirements are set having regard to the sensitivities of Muslims who wish to participate in the event.” The ban on skimpy clothes will apply between 6.15 and 8.15pm on August 21 next year, a time when the pool is closed to the public and normally used by a Muslim women's swimming group. The ban was yesterday compared by the Human Rights Commissioner Helen Szoke to a ban on thongs in a pub. “Matters such as this are not easy to resolve and require a balance to be achieved between competing rights and obligations,” she said. “Dress codes are not uncommon: eg singlets, jeans, thongs etc in pubs/hotels.” Sherene Hassan, vice-president of the Islamic Society of Victoria, said she didn't support the dress restrictions. “My preference would be that no dress code is stipulated,” Ms Hassan said. But Liberty Victoria said the ban was reasonable because the event was to be held out of hours. A spokeswoman for the City of Greater Dandenong said the ban would help Muslims feel part of the community. added by: eden49
