Doc 'dad' wants access to kids
MICHAEL Jackson's controversial gay doctor Arnie Klein is demanding access rights to visit his dead pal's three kids.
The multi-millionaire skin specialist - who has privately claimed he FATHERED Prince, 12, and Paris, 11 - is desperate to "play a role" in their lives and in the upbringing of Blanket, seven.
Friends say that, as a buddy of Jacko for over 25 years, he is worried about their lives with the Jackson family and Michael's dad Joe, accused by the star of beating him as a child.
Klein is desperate to strike an informal deal with custodian and grandma Katherine, 79 - but has asked lawyers about pursuing it through the courts if necessary.
Klein confessed: "My concern is the kids, because I've never met children like this. I know how deeply Michael loved them and how deeply they loved him. I don't want to disturb this relationship in any way, shape or form, but I will protect these children."
Klein's move comes in the wake of a deal struck with Katherine by the two elder children's mother Debbie Rowe - his former nurse and Jacko's ex-wife.
She won four annual visits to see her kids, ending a potentially messy court custody battle.
Despite all the talk that he is the biological father of Paris and Prince, Klein refuses to acknowledge it in public, although he has admitted to being a sperm donor in the past.
But the News of the World can reveal the doctor - investigated by coroners in the Jackson death case - has the paperwork on their conception locked in a private bank safety deposit box.
Sources say the Jackson family fear he could produce proof he is the biological dad and blow apart the battle for Michael's fortune.
A friend of Klein - who boasts TWO £3 million homes in Los Angeles - revealed: "Arnie wants a say in the children's lives - and that's all three kids.
"He wants to shelter them from the odd and unsavoury characters in and around the Jackson family.
"He just wants to keep them on the right track fulfilling their father's wishes for them to be well rounded and educated individuals. In the past Arnie had a rapport with the family, but since Michael's death he's been totally cut off.
"He doesn't want to break up the kids at all. He wants to benefit their lives as he was the closest person to them other than Michael. He was Uncle Arnie to them in name, but a lot more in practice.
"He feels that he has been vilified by the Jacksons in recent weeks.
"He thinks the family are trying to discredit him and he can't understand why. He insists he did nothing wrong, and cared for Michael correctly
"Arnie was inconsolable at the time of the memorial service. He was disgusted when Paris was pushed to the front of the stage to speak. He felt Michael would have hated his family for that.
"Arnie's very emotional at the moment and desperate to keep his connection to the children.
"He knows that Michael didn't want them to be paraded around on TV, pushed into the music business or used as pawns to get to the estate. Arnie doesn't want or need money. His only agenda is to protect the children."

I was no fan of Jackson, but I definately believe those kids are his. They are not white kids, their skin is dusky. They are lovely kids and good luck to them.

some friend to MJ he turned out to be, he is trying to save his skin cause he knows he didn't do enough to help MJ and just went after the money. Paris and Prince are too good looking to be his children. Shame on him! Paris idolised her Dad and she wasn't pushed into anything at the memorial.

ALL I CAN SAY IS"ANYONE CAN BE A FATHER, BUT IT TAKES SOMEONE SPECIAL TO BE A DAD"

How does he intend to protect these children?
This guy is a criminal.

I think it's disgusting that so many people are trying to make money from children who's farther has recently died. Have these rich, privileged and famous people no shame?

Isn't this all rather tiresome?

This guy, Klein, is a fake who will use his money to try to seduce and dupe the Jacson family if they are dumb enoug to fall for that cheap trick. He's bluffing about his threat to go to court. Every judge in America would see right through him, which is why he is trying desperately to do a back-door deal and keep it *out* of court.
I believe he wants these children for his own sick financial gain. I believe that he himself has leaked the rumor to the media that he is their dad and that his claims about having secrets papers locked away in a safe depost box are phoney. He looks nothing like their dad. Both Paris and Prince have olive skin typical of kids who are mixerd, whereas he and Debbie Rowe are both as white as snow.

Conspiracy theory...What if ...
MJ had no knowledge that Arnie was the children's natural father, only that they were the product of 'a sperm donor'.
Arnie felt it was time to collect...the kids are great AND worth millions.
Doc Arnie knew and had influence over Doc Murray...who was in a position to wipe MJ out.
