Michael Jackson’s Kids Not Biologically His; Not Legally Adopted

Bombshell news is breaking tonight that Michael Jackson is NOT the biological father of his three children, nor were they legally adopted by him! Debbie Rowe, long thought to be the biological mother of Jackson’s oldest two children, was really just a surrogate mother who carried another woman’s eggs… fertilized by a father who was not Michael Jackson. Jackson’s youngest child was conceived by a different set of egg and sperm donors. TMZ is reporting that none of the three were ever legally adopted by Jackson.

This explosive news is sure to further complicate the already twisted legal consequences of the King of Pop’s death. He died with a 2002 will. We will update this story as more news becomes available.

Michael Jackson’s Drug Destruction

In what is a sad but familiar story in Hollywood, another star has likely lost his life due to a prescription drug overdose…facilitated by doctors who function as “drug ATMs” for their clients. Life & Style reports that Michael Jackson was taking a cocktail of up to seven prescription drugs in the months before his death. He allegedly overdosed on Thursday morning after a Demerol injection, causing respiratory and cardiac arrest.

A Jackson family lawyer told CNN he “feared” the drugs could kill the pop star. The star had been taking prescription painkillers including anti-anxiety drugs Xanax, Zoloft and painkiller Demerol in recent months, according to sources close to Jackson.

Demerol is a powerful, morphine-like painkiller that is highly addictive. It is often reserved for hospital/surgery usage, but can be legally prescribed for pain. Why the Demerol injection? There are reports that Jackson had a broken bone in his leg, but was still rehearsing for his upcoming tour.

What is unclear is why his in-house physicians didn’t have (or use) reversal agents such as Narcan (for opiates like Demerol) and Flumazenil (for benzodiazepines like Xanax.) Jackson’s drug use was well-known, and, like Anna Nicole Smith, was facilitated by compliant health-care professionals.

The Sun is reporting that an emergency room source at UCLA Hospital said Jackson’s aides told medics he had collapsed after a Demerol injection. A Jackson source said: “Shortly after taking the Demerol he started to experience slow shallow breathing. His breathing gradually got slower and slower until it stopped.”

L.A. police would not confirm claims that Jackson had been administered the injection, but last night family spokesman Brian Oxman, alluded to “abuse of medications” while speaking to CNN minutes before Jackson’s death was confirmed.

Oxman confirmed Jackson’s leg injury, and said there were discussions that one day “he is going to be dead”. He went on to detail concerns about Michael’s drug use. He revealed that:

“This family has been trying for months and months and months to take care of Michael Jackson. I do not know the extent of medications he was taking but reports we are receiving from his family was that it was extensive.

“It is something that I feared and something that I warned about…it was something I warned people was going to happen and it has happened… there is no smoke without fire.

“It is a case of abuse of medications.”

Authorities have opened up an investigation into Jackson’s death. Was he another Anna Nicole? Snark Food will continue to update this tragic story as more details become available. TMZ’s coverage of the story is here.

Heidi Montag Is Scared Of Al Roker

Eternal famewhores Heidi Montag and husbutt Spencer Pratt spoke to Al Roker today about their staged riveting adventures on “I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!” Spencer thought Matt Lauer would be interviewing them instead, and told Ryan Seacrest:

“I’m still trying to figure out, was the weatherman asking us questions? I thought we were getting interviewed by Matt Lauer or something,” said Pratt of Roker who reports weather for the Today Show.

As for Heidi, she is incredibly distressed over the whole shebang, and whined:

“I was shocked at how rude he was - I was crying afterwards because I couldn’t believe I felt personally attacked,” said Montag. “I wanted to say to him, do you feel proud of how you’re talking to me right now? I’m just a young woman and you’re coming at me so aggressively and meanly and mean-spirited.”

“I just wanted to talk about the show and my experience there and how fun it was, and he just made it a very uncomfortable and awful experience,” said Montag. “I really would advise women especially to be careful around him because I feel like he definitely came and attacked me and I did not appreciate that at all.”

Al Roker: Ninja Muckraker. You’ve been warned, celebs.

Crimes Against Fashion: Michelle Obama Edition

michelle-obama-crimes-against-fashion

Rarely is Snarkista speechless, but today she’s pretty damn close. Behold Michelle Obama in London, one of the fashion capitols of the world. Unfortunately, Miss Thang appears to have run through the notions department at Fabrics-R-Us following a vicious glue-gun fight.

“But,” you may say, “perhaps she was visiting Piccadilly Circus, and was tripped up by the ‘circus’ part?” No… sadly, this was Michelle’s pick to visit Westminster Abbey. Nothing says “reverence” like an homage to Bozo.

This getup makes the “black widow” election-night dress look positively regal. For those of you still hanging on to those “Jackie-O” comparisons, you may now let go.

Lindsay Lohan Goes Cuckoo At Cuckoo

lindsay-cuckoo

Oh Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay. Just when we think you’ve hit the bottom and MAY be headed back up for air, you pull a stunt that shocks even the most jaded among us. Not that Snarkista is jaded, mind you, but Lindsay Lohan is giving celebrities who behave badly good reasons to feel smug.

The freckled one decided to go clubbing the other night in London, and ended up at Cuckoo. Clearly, Lindsay took the club’s name as a green light to completely crack up in public. The Mirror reports that:

Linds sat with her straggly hair all over her face looking strangely detached from the world and mumbled: “I feel so, like, caged. Totally caged.”

Unfortunately, the creepy behavior continued as Lindsay and her posse visited the bathrooms.

My spy tells me: “She just wouldn’t stop saying she felt caged. She was just not all there and it really was like watching a broken girl in the middle of a complete breakdown.

Unfortunately, the meltdown didn’t stop in the powder room, as Li-Lo then proceeded to curl up in a fetal position on the dance floor. She’s a pro, though, as she managed to hang on to the vodka she’d been guzzling all night.

So much for sobriety…perhaps the tales of SamRo keeping Lindsay clean are true. Lindsay had followed her ex to London, and unsuccessfully texted her all night long. Sam didn’t take the bait, and must have had her fill of playing nanny to the firecracker. It’s hard to DJ when your hands are THAT full. Time to head back to rehab, Lindsay. Stay longer this time.

UPDATE: Apparently SamRo DID take the bait, as Lindsay is sporting a new “engagement ring” today. Good luck with that, Sam.
