Janet Jackson Says She Will Raise Michael’s Kids

Janet Jackson says that she has formed a strong bond with her brother Michael’s three kids and would step up and raise them if needed.

Singer and actress Janet Jackson has stepped up and offered to raise Michael’s three children, Prince, 12, Paris, 11, and “Blanket”, 7. She says that she loves the children as her own and has really formed a bond with them since her brother’s death.

Michael named his mother Katherine as the guardian of the children in his will, but according to Michael’s  ’spiritual adviser’ Rev June Gatlin, he wanted Janet to care for the kids if anything happened to his mother.

Gatlin told the Today Show, “Michael loved his sister, Michael trusted his sister, he trusted Janet explicitly.”

A family insider told The Sun newspaper, “Janet has said, “I love them and I’ll step forward and raise them if this is what they want. She tells everyone she loves them as if they were her own. The children have chosen her as their confidante and mother figure, and Janet feels her place is at their side. She’s completely bonded with those children in the last two weeks. It’s clear to everyone that they are looking to her for comfort and guidance. Janet is blossoming as a woman with tremendous maternal instincts.”

Janet has been divorced twice, but has no children of her own. She recently just broke up with her longtime fiance Jermaine Dupri.

Katherine Jackson has been given temporary custody of Michael’s children since his death last month. A hearing is being held later this month for the permanent custody of Paris and Prince between Katherine Jackson the children’s mother and Michael’s ex, Debbie Rowe.

Michael Jackson’s Dermatologist Revealed As Biological Dad Of Children

US Weekly is reporting that Michael Jackson’s dermatologist Arnold Klein is the biological father of Prince and Paris.

Even though Debbie Rowe was married to Michael Jackson for a brief period of time, it has come out that the children that she carried for the singer were not his biological kids. Several inside sources are confirming to US Weekly that Jackson’s friend and dermatologist Arnold Klein is the biological father of Michael’s children Prince and Paris.

One insider says, “He is the dad. He and Debbie signed an agreement saying they would never reveal the truth.”

Debbie Rowe has confessed that she had Michael’s children as a favor to him and that she had no previous interest in having children. Rowe admitted, “I said, ‘Let me do this. You need to be a dad. You have been so good to me.” She has also recently admitted that she and Michael were never intimate and slept in separate beds. She admits that she was artificially inseminated, but did no say by who.

Klein has not commented on the latest media reports to date.

Michael Jackson’s Kids? The family after his death

The unexpected death of Michael Jackson has left behind a family. A son and daughter, Paris, 11, Prince Michael, 12 and seven-year-old Prince Michael II, known as ‘Blanket’.

It is believed that Jackson’s will is set to reveal who the singer chose to care for his children in the event of his death.

Meanwhile many of his family members, including his mother Katherine, have reportedly offered to provide a home for the orphans.

“Probably Mrs Jackson will take care of them, she loves them dearly.” said Brian Oxman, a longtime lawyer for the Jackson family.

While Jackson was taken ill, the children remained in Los Angeles under the supervision of a nanny, according to reports.

Referring to current mood of Jackson’s closest family, Mr Oxman added: “Everyone is crying and it’s very sad.”

Salma Hayek Shows Off Her Daughter On The Set of Her New Movie

Salma Hayek is busy juggling being an actress, a mom, and a wife, so it is no surprise that she pulls double duty sometimes, bringing her daughter Valentina on set with her.

Salma Hayek showed off her beautiful 20-month-old daughter Valentina on the set of her new movie, “Grown Up.” The little toddler had a ball playing on the set and showing off for others.

Just last month Valentina served as the flower girl for Salma’s wedding to François-Henri Pinault, who is the little girl’s father. The wedding hosted tons of different stars such as Charlize Theron, Penelope Cruz, Bono, Woody Harrelson, and Anna Wintour. It was actually the couple’s second wedding, as they had a private wedding in Paris on Valentine’s Day.

The couple got engaged when they announced that Salma was pregnant back in March 2007, but later called off the engagement. They have been together since 2006.

Salma is also famous for breastfeeding a baby boy on a trip to Africa. She said, “He was very hungry - I was weaning my daughter Valentina, but I still had a lot of milk, so I breastfed the baby.” This actually caused quite a controversy for the actress.

Valentina is the only child for the couple.

Having Over Five Children May Increase Risks Of Heart Transplant Complications

Researchers in Paris claim that women who have five or more children may be at higher risk later on in life if they require a heart transplant.

The findings, made by the Internation Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation, were presented at their 29th Annual meeting.

Lead investigator, Cheri Silverstein, from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee said “Pregnancy may represent an independent risk factor for yearly acute rejection risk,”

Women who have orthotopic heart transplantation were shown to be at higher risk of rejection compared to men.

Previous studies have suggested that when a women has over two pregnancies, they will be at higher risk for elevated panel reactive antibodies (PRA), which act as a marker for rejection.

Collecting data from the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) database for over a decade, they found data on rejection and number of children for 2644 women.

Women who had not had any children were found to have virtually no risk, compared to women with over five pregnancies who were the highest risk.

The study was only able to look at the data of patients who had survived over 275 days, and so could not investigate cases where there were hyperacute rejections or early adverse outcomes.

Moderator Stuart D. Russell told Medscape Transplantation “There’s no question that the incidence of presensitization and antibodies goes up with pregnancy,”

“What’s intriguing to me and to others is that there was another paper presented here [that showed that] mortality among patients with peripartum cardiomyopathy was significantly lower at 5 years, with the primary reason being noncompliance. With all the caveats of the UNOS dataset, it makes one wonder whether there might be a group of young women who get into a disastrous situation, and because of that, they may have issues with compliance, as well as the fact that they’re presensitized and, by that fact alone, are at increased risk.”

Michael Jackson to Adopt a UK baby

It would appear Michael Jackson is busy with more than the UK concert dates. Reports are surfacing that he’s also looking to adopt a baby.

A source quoted in The Sunday Express said, “His life is his children. Wherever he goes, they go, and he has said it would be good to have another child. Contact has been made with an adoption agency in Britain which has a very good reputation.”

“It could be that he was inspired by Madonna who adopted a little African boy but nobody really knows what kicked this all off.”

“He senses he is viewed differently here than he is in the States. Before his concerts he has said he wants to spend at least three weeks in Britain, getting used to the time zone and exploring the country,” says the source. “It is during this period that he wants to have meetings about adoption. He has not said if he wants a boy or a girl, just that it would be good for the family to have ­another brother or sister.”

Michael Jackson is already dad to three kids,  and Paris, from his marriage to Deborah Rowe, and Prince Michael II, aka Blanket over the balcony.

Parminder Sahota - Suspended for trying for a baby

A tribunal heard how Parminder Sahota, 37, an immigration officer highly praised for catching a terror suspect was suspended for taking too much time off to have IVF treatment.

Parminder said: “IVF takes over your whole life - you cannot think straight. Ultimately, this has had a catastrophic effect on my career and myself. My life has been a nightmare.”

Parminder Sahota who is married, told her employers the reason for her absence, yet she was disciplined and sent home after taking 12 days off for her fertility treatment course.

With her glowing record and identifying a terror suspect on a Eurostar train, one manager even accused her of, “only being interested in getting pregnant”, she has claimed. “I was shocked – it was entirely inappropriate.”

The UK Border Agency suspended Mrs Sahota in March last year over her absences in 2007. She challenged the Home Office ruling, claiming IVF did not count as sick days and she had been under considerable stress and in pain.

‘When I look back now, it’s a wonder how I coped,’ she said.

The challenge failed but months later she was offered another job, despite no reason being given for her suspension.

By this time, she had been signed off with ‘work-related’ depression. Mrs Sahota, who lives in Paris, is claiming sex and race discrimination. The hearing, in Kent, continues.
