British tabloid The Sun is reporting that Omer Bhatti, who they say is actually Michael Jackson's secret lovechild, attended Michael's memorial at the Staples Center and sat in the front row next to the King of Pop's family.
He is 25 years old, and sat in the front row wearing dark glasses and sat with his head bowed.
The British tabloid report has fueled suspicion that he is Jackson's fourth child and childhood photos show an uncanny likeness to Prince Michael II, 7 — known as Blanket — the youngest of the star's three "official" children.
Michael Jackson apparently told friends in 2004 that Omer Bhatti was born in 1984, following a one night stand in Norway. Bhatti's family has refused to rule out that Michael may be his father.

Omer when he was 11 dancing. Looks just like Blanket

Correction. Blanket does not look like he has a black father even thought Micheal change his skin color. That would not effect the way Blanket can out. The black gene would still there.

Blanket does not look like he has a white father even thought Micheal change his skin color. That would not effect the way Blanket can out. The black gene are still there .

This story gets stranger every day.
at 22:09 on July 22nd, 2009
I agree it gets stranger each day. I hear that he wore a prosthetic nose, don't know if it's trure heard it on ET.

No he's not Michael Jackson's son because Michael was very black when he was a child and Omer doesn't even have M.J. Skin pigment. Omer doesn't even look mixed or black for that matter. Now I do believe that Blanket is definetly related to Omer because Omer's parent's wanted to give Michael another baby who looked like Omer because Michael obviously fancied Omer and his talents. Michael even claimed back in the 80's that he was VIRGIN and even women who dated him 80's said the M.J. was not at all interested in SEX so M.J. having a one night stand back in the 1984 doesn't even fit the story. If you're a true fan of M.J. you will look up M.J. history and know that Omer is not his biological son and DNA will prove that M.J. isn't his dad- I believe to Omer and his family it's just wishful thinking and plain out stupidity probably for fame and money. I love M.J. a lot but M.J. did not father any biological children of his own, do your homework and you'll know I am right about this - Look at M.J. pictures when he was little and you just know already what the real truth is!

I don't know about this Omer person being his child or not, maybe just coming with his hand out for money. BUT....I've had my eye on "Blanket" every since he's been unmasked. That boy looks like the real MJ back in the day. I have been a Jackson family fan my entire 38 years on this earth. When I saw Prince Michael "blanket" at the memorial service, I lost it. I think Ole' Michael snuck one in on us, whether he had sex with the mother or donated his sperm. I know it's not really our business but i hope we find out. I don't think family will do any DNA because he had the kids with him, he signed the birth certificate, he adopted them, whatever he did, he said they were his and that's all that matters.

I just wanted you to know that you sound very ignorant when you say that Omer doesn't have M.J.'s skin pigment which means that he is not his son. Both of my parents are African-Americans. My father is light-skinned and my mother is dark-skinned. I don't have my mother's skin pigment, so that means that she is not my mother? We all have two parents and kids can look like any one of their parents. I am light-skinned just like my father but, if you look closely at my facial features, you will see that I look like my mom. You can't judge paternity by the color of the skin. Is Omer his son? I am just waiting to hear the DNA results. And Michael was not "very black" when he was a child. He was a handsome brown-skinned African-American man. Look at his siblings, that was his true skin color and they are not "very black".

Kathy, my dad is darker than my mom, my mom looks arayan, and my skin color does not resemble my mothers in any way...and neither does it resemble my dad, yet it resembles my grandmothers. For you to put out a statement like that makes you seems uneducated and unaware of people around you. My grandfather, dad's dad, is WHITE, and my dad is brown....this has nothing to do with whther he is MJ's son or not....
O, and by the way, I am one of 7 kids born to the same parents, and we all have 4 different skin complexions. I am disappointed to see you write such an ignorant statement.
at 04:46 on August 23rd, 2009
I don't care if you think I'm ignorant you idiot because OMAR IS NOT HIS SON AS SO ARE THE REST OF HIS KIDS (NOT HIS) STOP ACTING DUMB AND REALIZE THOSE AREN'T BIOLOGICALLY HIS. YOU'RE JUST PISSED BC YOU WANT TO BELIEVE THEY ARE BIOLOGICALLY HIS, WELL I GOT NEWS FOR YOU THEY AREN'T SO GET OVER IT!
at 18:49 on September 23rd, 2009
for your info. the pictures doesn't matter he said in a interview black people are called white people becuz they come in different color and blenket's mother is black and he did do the DNA and hey said he was 100% Michael Jackson son, if he did did that with the girl he made a mistake all artist make mistakes ........................... blanket is his son Michael Jackson gave his sperm to the hospital ........................ he said to get a girl pregnant and then they told Michael that that they found a girl and they put the sperm to her and they didn't know each other until she was on laber and thats the first time they met ......... I LOVE MICHAEL JACKSON I'M A BIGGGGGG FAN LOVE, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART, I WILL ALWAY REMEMBER YOU, KING OF POP XOXOXOXOX

I would just like to point out one thing...Michael Jackson was NOT the biological father of ANY of his children. Therefore, if Omar resembles blanket, that does NOT prove that he was Jackson's son. He may be related to the Jackson's in some way, could be a family friend, who knows the reason he was sitting with the Jackson family. The press need to let MJ rest in peace and stop creating drama.

Correction. Blanket is Michael Jackson's biological child through MJ sperm donation and a surrogate mother.

Omer is from Norway ... he looks biracial. He does NOT look pure Norwegian ... he looks as if he has something more than just norwegian.
at 11:40 on July 23rd, 2009
thank you sunny your bout the only one of the few on this matter that makes some sense!!
at 13:43 on July 24th, 2009
No, but the Norwegian woman is married, who is also supposed to be Omer's father, is Pakistani. Think about it. "Omer Bhatti" is an arab name. Not unlike black people, arabs can come in different shades. I have seen some very dark arab men. I am a dark skinned black woman and I have seen some darker than me.
Doesn't anyone else find it stranger that we have seen Omer's mother, but have NOT seen one photo of the man that is supposed to be his father? I know I do. Are there some physical similarities between Michael and Omer? Yes, a little. I don't find it too be very significant difference, though. I really think that we need to see the father (and I don't mean Michael Jackson. I mean the man Pita is married to). Because to me, Omer looks arab.
And, for anyone out there who is going to say that they have seen a pic of his father (Pita's husband) and say that he doesn't look like him, that is NOT enough. I need to see if for myself. For all I know you could be lying just because you want Omer to be Michael's son.
Also, take in to account that, Michael not only said that he had a 1-night stand with a this Norwegian woman, he also said it was during THE BAD TOUR. This does NOT correlate. If Omer is 24 years old, than that means that he was concieved sometime in '84. The bad tour didn't happen until 1988. And for anyone who say that is wrong, let me tell you. This story of Omer being Michael's son is NOT NEW. This was reported back in 2004 by Roger Friedman. In that 2004 article, he claims that Michael said that the one night stand was during the bad tour. It wasn't until the story broke out again that people ASSUMING that it this happened in 1984.
Also, Omer had befriended a lot of young men have had them live with him for a stint at his ranch at some point. Even the boy that accused Michael in 2003 lived with him for a bit, and even traveled with him. This was NOT unusual for Michael. So, the fact that Omer stayed with him is not a compelling argument. Take into account that, not only was it Omer that stayed with Michael, but also his mother Pita and his "supposed to be" father Ritz.
Also, I used to live in California and have seen a lot of people that looked like a celebrity. So, it is not surprising that there is someon who may somewhat resemble Michael. And I am sure that Omer is not the only one.

I'm sorry. I meant, "Michael befriended," not "Omer befriended."
at 19:42 on July 29th, 2009
Omar is an Arabic name, Bhatti is not. Bhatti sounds either Indian or Pakistani, and that means he is NOT Arab. I am an Arab and I know.
You are assuming that the is an Arab because of his name? Only half his name is Arabic! That is ignorant. There are some African-Americans/Black-Americans with Arab names, but that does not make them Arab. Though your fact about the skin shades differs, after all Arabs strech from north Africa to the Persian Gulf, Omer does NOT look arab in any ways. He looks like a mix child of some sort.
And before you put input, know some geography because Indians and Pakis are NOT in any way Arabs.

We first have to stop saying that children don't look like the father or mother. I know some children who to me looks nothing like the father or mother, but look more like a grandparent or even an aunt or uncle. My husband's great neice looks just like her uncle. I know another girl who looks like her grandmother should have had her, she is so much like her grandmother. Sometimes the child will look more like the mother than the father of vice versa. Regardless of whether any of the children is or is not his, as far as Michael and his family are concerned they are. There are many fathers who are not the biological father of children, but they treat them just as if they are. A good is example is my son, who is expecting a son and his wife who has a son already. His father is not a part of his life and my son has been in his life since he was around 6 or 7 months and he calls him daddy. And if Michael is not, what difference does it make in our lives. The most important thing is this he gave and showed them love and that in itself means a lot. Any body can be a daddy, but it takes a real man to be a father. Rest in peace MJ.

I agree, I have 3 children that I know came out of me for sure and over the last 13 years I can't see me in any of them. My grandfather is white, my grandmother is black, my mother looks puerto rican and my dad is black. I look like a light skinned black person, my full blooded brother from both same parents has the same dark skin tone as our dad but looks like my mother's brother, while my mother's siblings children look puerto rican and some look white. Genetics is a crazy thing. I'm not concerned with who fathered the children really, I just hope when they grow up they stay in touch with the Jackson family because Michael really loved them and he took them in as his own. I'm concerned with this dumb ass doctor who couldnt or didn't really try to save my sweetheart!
God Bless the children and Ms Katherine

Much ado for nothing.
I really doubt MJ could be Omer´s father.
It´s easy, just make reference to Billy Jean lyrics and you´ll see his not the father....
at 18:32 on July 26th, 2009
Well first off Michael reportidly said in 1984 he had the one night stand... 1984-1987 he could of been anywhere.. just because the Bad tour was in 87 doesn't mean Michael didn't have sex with someone from Norway... No one knows and until Omar gets a DNA test then we will know!
at 00:34 on July 27th, 2009
well he does look like a jackson family member... he fits right in...when I saw him at the memorial i thought he was on of jermains kids, but i guess not... he looks like blanket that much is obvious...this is weird...i'm confused...i'm think he just might be MJ's kid... perhaps all this is just coincidental...this is strange...
