The saga of Michael Jackson's children continues to become more complicated. In an interview on the "Today" show Friday morning (August 21), Mark Lester — a former child star and godfather to Jackson's kids — said there is a possibility that he is actually the father of Paris Jackson. Lester admitted that he has no proof of this, but he did say he donated sperm when Michael was first trying to have children.

"I would make absolutely no claim on Paris or any of the kids, but there is the possibility that one of those kids is mine," he said. "And even if I was, it would make no difference to the status quo of the family anyway."

Lester said that he wanted to get the story out there before the tabloids had the chance to break it. "Michael was very shy when it came to women, and he confided in me that he had found it very difficult to actually do the sexual act," Lester told Matt Lauer. "So I jokingly said, 'Well, if you don't want to do it, maybe I'll do it for you.' "

Lester's 15-year-old daughter was also on hand for a side-by-side comparison to a photo of Paris, with Lester pointing out both of their high cheekbones. But when pressed about the strangeness of the situation, Lester said that it was a gift "and I didn't want anything in return for it." Lester has stated that he is willing to take a paternity test.

Katherine Jackson, who was awarded custody of Michael's children (as Michael wished in his will), told 'Today' through Jackson family lawyer Londell McMillan: "These newfound efforts appear to be self-serving, lack legal standing and do not serve the best interests of the children."
