Macaulay Culkin

Macaulay Culkin might be the father of Michael Jackson's son

The Sun is claiming that Macaulay Culkin is the real father of Michael Jackson's 7-year-old son Blanket. Culkin became close friends with Jackson after appearing in the 1990 hit Home Alone. The two had a falling out in the late '90s when Culkin's voice deepened and he started growing facial hair. From the tabloid:

Now sources close to Jackson say the Thriller star asked Culkin for the donation to help him complete his "perfect" family.

The source added: "This isn't just chitter-chatter, even Culkin suspects he's Blanket's father. So many names have been mentioned as prospective dads, and this is probably the wackiest yet. But Jackson and Culkin were best friends. He was one of the few people Jackson really trusted and Mack never let him down. Really, Jackson idolised him - that's why he asked Mack to donate sperm. Deep down, I think he always wished Mack was his son. Creating Blanket was the next best thing."

Wow, talk about an awkward phone call.

Michael: "Macaulay, I need your sperm."

Macaulay: "But Michael! You said that last time would be . . . *sigh* . . . fine, pour me a glass of wine and put The Wiggles DVD on that scene I like."

Michael: "No, no, it's not like that this time."
