Michael Jackson not the dad?

Claims that Michael Jackson fathered a 31-year-old man named Brandon Howard are untrue, says TMZ. This week, Alki David, founder of FilmOn.com, said he had obtained DNA evidence that proved MJ's paternity. Turns out the lab that supposedly carried out the test is fake. The results are printed on paper that bears the same company logo as the fictional DNA testing lab in the sci-fi pic Terminator Salvation!

David on Friday told TMZ the test is real, and he said the lab added the logo design to make their printouts more photogenic. (Whaaat?) Howard has denied he's involved in the stunt.
