Jackson family deny paternity claim

A spokesman for the Jackson family has denied former child star, Mark Lester's claims that he may be the father of Michael's daughter, Paris.

The Jackson family has denied claims by actor Mark Lester that he may be the biological father of Michael Jackson's daughter Paris. "The thing I always heard from Michael was that Michael was the father of these children, and I believe Michael," Jackson family spokesman Brian Oxman told GMTV. "Mark Lester is a friend of mine - he is a straight shooter. I think what Mark said is what he understands - he was told these things. That's what Michael wanted it to be. But Michael always told me he was the papa. I think that Michael was the dad, but Mark sure tells it straight. Mark is a man of his word. He was the godfather of these children. But I have to go with Michael because Michael told me he was the dad." Meanwhile, Oxman also revealed that Michael Jackson's body has been buried at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood. With no public funeral and two autopsies there had been much speculation about what had happened to Jackson's body but the spokesman explained that the singer was actually buried weeks ago. "The burial itself was at the time of the memorial," he explained. "When the tissues were returned to the body [following the second autopsy], then the interment was made final." Elsewhere, Peter Andre has said he plans to work with La Toya Jackson on a tribute record to Michael. "This is the biggest thing that's ever happened to me. La Toya and I are joining forces," Andre told the News Of The World. "The Jacksons know how much I love Michael and how he's been an inspiration. It's a total honour to be doing it."
