LOS ANGELES, (Reuters) – Bizarre in life, Michael  Jackson’s complex personal affairs are taking even stranger  twists in death, with sketchy reports yesterday of plans for  an elaborate public memorial and questions over the parentage  of his children.

After five days of television replays of Jackson’s hit  songs and glowing tributes to his musical genius, attention has  turned to the murkier side of the “Thriller” singer.

Celebrity website TMZ.com, which broke the news of  Jackson’s death, reported the entertainer was not the  biological father of his three children and that his ex-wife,  Debye Rowe, was not the genetic mother of the eldest two.

A 2002 will signed by Jackson was reported to have been  turned over to his family but its validity was unclear. The  attorney said to have the will, John Branca, did not return  calls for comment.

In that will, the King of Pop was said to have left the  bulk of his multimillion-dollar estate to his three children  and his mother Katherine but cut out his father, Joe, who  Jackson had accused of beating him as a child.

Several media reports said Jackson’s body would be driven  to his Neverland Valley Ranch near Santa Barbara in Central  California tomorrow ahead of a public viewing this weekend.

One story in Britain’s Sun newspaper said Jackson’s body  would first be driven through Los Angeles in a glass-sided  horse-drawn carriage, complete with a matching glass coffin.
