Jackson gossip: secret teenage son

According to the Evening Standard, Michael Jackson has a secret teenage son, Omer Bhatti, who is staying at Neverland Ranch, though others say Jackson only befriended him.

There's always time for some cheap Michael Jackson gossip in the CMU Daily - so here goes. According to yesterday's Evening Standard, Jacko has a 'secret' teenage son - Omer Bhatti - and he is currently staying at Jackson's Neverland Ranch in California. Apparently Omer was conceived during a one night stand with a Norwegian fan in 1987. Reports say Omer bears a striking resemblance to Jackson, and the singer has admitted to some close friends that he is indeed the boy's father.

If you believe US celebrity columnist Roger Friedman (and why wouldn't you?), Jackson kept quiet about the teenager's birth to ensure his security and privacy before allegedly sending two employees to Oslo to raise the baby as their own. However others say Jackson merely befriended the teenager when they met back in 1996.
