Dr. Arnold Klein Won't Give Up

Posted Aug 6th 2009 12:20PM by TMZ Staff

The judge unceremoniously pulled the plug on Dr. Arnold Klein's attempt to insert himself in the Michael Jackson custody case on Monday ... but last night his lawyer told us the doctor will go back for a second round.

Mark Vincent Kaplan: Click to watch
Klein's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, told us last night outside Boa Steakhouse in West Hollywood he'll file legal papers on Klein's behalf sometime after the beginning of September.

Last Monday, Kaplan went before the judge and expressed Klein's concerns over parenting issues involving Jackson's three kids. There are reports Dr. Klein could be the biological father, but he's never acknowledged it. The judge checkmated Kaplan, noting that Klein had no legal standing to lodge objections to the custody settlement between Katherine Jackson and Debbie Rowe.

But clearly Kaplan has something up his sleeve ...

Stay tuned

4. I am so tired of Klein! Even if he WERE the biological father of Prince and Paris, it takes more than being a sperm donor (or donating your womb) to be a daddy or a mom. Michael is the father of all three of those beautiful kids. He was all they knew as a parent. Now everyone wants a piece of Michael (or should I say his bank account). He wanted his mother to raise the children and the judge honored that (Thank goodness)! They are where they belong. The judge should lock up Klein (and anyone else who is trying to monopolize on this situation) for being greedy jerks! Michael had no peace while he was here - now it looks like people are intent on not allowing his children any peace either.

5. okay here we gooo let the posts begin...obviously these are not michael jacksons kids,,any idiot can see that and they do look like klien and that sounds like something wacko jacko would do.if all these fanatics are insisting these are his bio kids lets see a dna test,,noone seems to have mentioned that yet because they know what the results will be...if they are not his kids noone is going to want them because they are no longer the cash cow they appear to be now....

7. Well, If he proves he is the father, and gets custody, would that not mean that the Kids are not Mickaels and not entitled to any of Mickael's estate?

8. Now this is really getting bizarre! Michael these clearly were not your friends! Why didn't you just obtain your children the normal way, or adopt or find annoymous surrogates. Now, this psycho Klein, who may have donated the sperm, wants something to do with your kids. Hmm, could that something be your money?

9. If he truly was thinking about the kids, he'd leave well enough alone.

10. I can't know the truth, but by the looks of it his meddling has caused more than enough trouble. Klein and Rowe should not have done Jackson any 'favors'.

The only good that came out of it was the kids, but there are much much much better ways that could have happened.

11. Dr. Klein should leave MICHAEL'S children alone!! I don't care who the biological father is, don't traumatize these children any further!~!~~~~

14. Take a good close look at Jackson's 2 older children,,,they look like Klein,,,which explains why he won't give up

15. I see no reason to critique Arnold Klein here. He was clearly a dear friend of Michael Jackson's, spent the significant parts of the last twenty years with him and has merely stepped up to the plate in speaking out for Michael's wishes. I do not see anyone else doing this--not even Debbie Rowe. He is concerned about the children's best interests and it is about time that the very serious issues of Kate and Joe's child abuse be discussed least these children suffer the same fate of their father.
