Michael Jackson’s children are doing fine, according to a close friend.
Mark Lester, who is the godfather of one of the pop legend’s sons, said he had spoken to the children since their father’s sudden death.
He said: “I can tell you that the kids are fine. They are being well looked after. It’s obviously a very difficult time and children grieve in different ways but no, they’re fine.”
Lester, who has been pals with Jackson for 30 years, said the family were doing what they could to be there for his three children Prince, 12, Paris, 11, and six-year-old Prince Michael I.
He said: “They’re devastated. They weren’t seeing each other every day but they have really rallied round together and you know, they’re supporting not only his memory but they’re being there for the kids.”
Former child actor Lester, 50, spoke of his shock at hearing claims that Jackson was taking painkillers and said he hated needles.
He said: “I never ever saw Michael even take an Aspirin. He used to drink mineral water, we used to eat fish and chips. He didn’t drink, and I’m just shocked. I never saw or had any indication that these things were happening.
“It’s just horrific.”
He added: “Michael hated needles. I did give him acupuncture once and that was the once and last time, he really didn’t like it.”
Lester said that Michael lived for his children and that was the main reason behind his decision to do a massive run of concerts.

There’s another Miley Cyrus photo controversy making the rounds on the internet. The Hannah Montana star was fooling around in her dressing room on the set of her new movie and someone documented the pictures. Producer/director Adam Shankman took to his Twitter and posted the pictures and then got surprised when it was deemed controversial. He wrote “Miley is a sweet angel who works tirelessly and endlessly, and is allowed to have fun in the make up room! Seriously! Lighten up or no more behind the scenes pics! She’s like my angel little sister.” When your sweet little sister mounts a chair, gives provocative face and you feel the need to show it to the world, it’s going to raise some eyebrows.
We’ve all seen this scenario before: latest it-thing rises to sudden massive stardom, it-thing spends newfound wealth all in one place, new it-thing comes along, people lose interest in former it-thing, has-been it-thing goes bankrupt. I’m not saying that Adam Lambert is headed towards that fate but with reports that the singer is looking into buying some property in our current economy, he needs to be warned to invest wisely. The American Idol alum recently said “I think I’m going to buy a house. It’s a little ways off. I’ll probably wait until the end of the year. That’s exciting to me, to have a home.”
