Lester: Godfather or Father to MJ Kids?
Michael Jackson's good friend Mark Lester talked to the "Today Show" on Friday about the possibility he is the father of Jackson's three children. The former child actor also claims he is not looking for "monetary gain."

Lester said Jackson was "shy" and "nervous" when it came to women, so Lester donated sperm to the King of Pop. "I had given something as a gift and I didn't want anything in return for it. End of story," he told Matt Lauer.
The 51-year-old admitted he has not been in contact with the Jackson family since Michael's death on June 25, but he is the godfather of Jackson's children, Prince Michael, Paris and Blanket. Lester also has four children of his own.
Lester talked to News of the World earlier this month and said he is willing to take a paternity test.
