Is Home Alone kid the father of MJ's son?

Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin has shot down a sensational UK newspaper report suggesting he is the biological father of Michael Jackson's youngest son Prince Michael II.

The Sun published an article on Monday naming former child star Culkin, a close friend of the pop superstar, as the dad of the seven year old, aka Blanket.

The boy was delivered via a surrogate, whose identity has never officially been disclosed.

Culkin, who has yet to publicly speak about the death of his pal, is the latest to be linked to the controversy.

But the actor's representative Michelle Bega has blasted the claims, saying, "The enquiries are too preposterous for us to even acknowledge."

Culkin, who is now 29, became friends with Jackson after he rose to fame in 1990 with the film Home Alone.

A source told the Sun, "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."

The actor frequently visited Jackson at his Neverland ranch and spoke as a witness for him at his trial for child abuse in 2005.

Sperm in England

Michael Jackson's sperm is being flown to England.

The singer's family is planning to spend £900 (Rs 71,500) moving the sample to a London clinic to protect it from "unscrupulous" people who might use it to create a new heir to his billion dollar estate.

Michael deposited the genetic material in an LA sperm bank last year, hoping it could be used to conceive his fourth child,
