June 29, 2009 - A new twist in the future custody of Michael Jackson's children, with the mother of the two eldest kids claiming Jackson is not the biological father.

In an interview with News of the World, Debbie Rowe said she was artificially inseminated by an anonymous donor.

Ms Rowe also revealed she doesn't want to be reunited with her children, after forfeiting custody of them in a $10 million dollar payout.

She has not seen 12 year old Prince Michael and 11 year old Paris, since her divorce from Jackson 10 years ago.

Michael Jackson's father is declaring in the strongest terms yet that he and his wife have sole authority over the late pop star's affairs.

Joe Jackson's publicist read a statement at the BET awards in Los Angeles saying he and his wife Katherine solely have authority for their late son and his children.

The children, the statement says, are their first priority now.

The statement says that the family's lawyer, L Londell McMillan, is the only person who can speak on behalf of the Jacksons.

It also says the family sincerely thanks everyone around the world for the love and support they've received since Michael Jackson's death on Thursday.

In a brief interview with Fox News aired late on Saturday, Joe Jackson said that Michael's three children were 'fantastic.'

They 'are enjoying themselves with the other kids,' he told the network's talk-show host Geraldo Rivera.

Joe Jackson also dismissed the notion that stress killed Michael Jackson as the 50-year-old prepared for a gruelling 50-concert comeback in London.

'No, it did not,' he said of stress.

'We're going to miss the great superstar, the biggest known in the world,' he said.
