Khloe Kardashian: Is Kris Jenner’s daughter really the child of the talk show hostess and the late attorney, Robert Kardashian?  The question was raised last year when Star Magazine said the legal eagle’s other ex-wives, Jan Ashley and Ellen Kardashian, claimed he told them Khloe wasn’t his kid.  In Touch magazine later named Kris’ longtime hairdresser, Alex Roldan, as being Khloe’s possible biological father.  But Khloe and her mom have denied the stories that she’s not a true Kardashian.

Justin Bieber:  The baby-faced pop star was just 17 when he was falsely accused of being the father of fan Mariah Yeater’s child in 2011.  Yeater filed paternity papers against Justin, claiming she conceived her 3 1Ž2 month old son after a 2010 backstage romp with the pop star.  She dropped her lawsuit but Justin took a DNA test anyway and was cleared.  Later, Justin said he wrote a song about the incident for his 2012 album Believe—and considered quitting show business because "I thought, 'I don't want to do this. I just want to be normal.' It was difficult because I'd never gone through anything like that."  Meanwhile, RadarOnline.com reported Robbie Powell, a young man who was arrested on drug and burglary charges, might be the real daddy.

Michael Jackson:  The child star of Oliver!, who was a friend of Michael Jackson, recently vowed to take a DNA test to determine if he is the father of the late pop star’s children. Mark Lester has claimed there’s a “good possibility” he is the father of Prince Michael, 16, Paris, 15, and Blanket, 11—because he donated sperm to Michael before the first child was born.  “I wouldn't have a DNA test without the children's permission but when the children come of age…and they decide they want me to do it then I will,” Lester said.  Michael’s ex-wife Debbie Rowe is the mother of the oldest two children while Blanket’s mom is unknown.
