Keanu Reeves can breathe a little easier ... turns out he's not the father of a Canadian woman's children.
DNA tests conclusively disprove claims by Karen Sala that Keanu fathered at least one of her four adult children, the actor's attorney tells TMZ.
Sala, 46, was seeking $150,000 per month in child support, retroactive from 1988 -- and $3 million a month in spousal support retroactive from 2006.
Reeves maintains he doesn't even know Sala.

TMZ has learned a woman has filed a paternity case against Beyonce's dad, Mathew Knowles.
We've learned Alexsandra Wright filed the case in L.A. County Superior Court. Wright lives in L.A. -- she works in the name-branding business. We're told she's in her late 30s.
Wright, who is 6-months pregnant, filed the case last week, alleges Knowles is the father. Sources say Wright is repped by Neal Hersh, who is currently repping Lamar Odom in the prenup negotiations with Khloe Kardashian.
Mathew has been married to Tina Knowles since 1980.
Mathew could not be immediately reached for comment. Ditto Neal Hersh.

This is the woman who has sued Beyonce's dad, Mathew Knowles, claiming he's the father of her child.
Alexsandra Wright had a small role on one episode of "Scrubs" -- in an episode titled "My 15 Minutes," which aired back in 2001.
Wright is not actually an actress -- but this being L.A., everyone dabbles in it from time to time.

Here's a shocker -- Macaulay Culkin's press agent claims the actor is not the biological father of Michael Jackson's son Blanket.
The ridiculous story, which first appeared in The Sun this morning -- and everywhere else 5 minutes later -- explained how Culkin donated the sperm to create Blanket.
So we contacted Culkin's rep Michelle Bega to ask -- because why not -- and we got the following statement:
"The inquiries are too preposterous for us to even acknowledge."
The search for the real sticky bandit continues...

Prince Michael Malachi Jet Jackson came out of the woodwork to claim he is Michael Jackson's third son -- and now we have the photos to help you judge if it's true.
According to documents released last week, PMMJJ requested a DNA test to prove he is the biological son of Michael Jackson. Ron Newt, a close family friend of PMMJJ, tells TMZ he approached Joe Jackson (whom he was friends with) before Michael's death. Newt says Joe denied the whole thing and told him to "leave it alone."
The "official" Prince Michael -- the one who was raised by MJ -- is 12 years old. This other PMMJJ is 24, and Newt says the man is just looking for "closure."

As if there wasn't enough to figure out in the wake of Michael Jackson's death, a San Fran man is throwing his name into the circus -- claiming to be Michael Jackson's 24-year-old son!
According to a creditor's claim filed yesterday in L.A., a guy named Prince Michael Malachi Jet Jackson is requesting a DNA test to prove he is the biological son of the late King of Pop.
A birth certificate was submitted with the claim -- one which lists a "Michael Joseph Jackson" of Indiana as the father and Zerline LaVette Dixon as the mother.
According to the claim, MJ's family pressured Prince Michael Malachi's family to keep quiet.
Coincidentally, Prince Michael is the name of MJ's two "official" sons.

The parents of another man Claire Elisabeth Fields Cruise named in today's wacked out press conference say their son, Christopher Caputo, did once date the "unstable" woman -- but it's "totally impossible" for him to be the father of any of Michael Jackson's children.
Caputo's 'rents tell TMZ the two dated when Chris was 16-years-old. They believe Cruise had "mental issues" back then and was "fixated" on their son.
Chris is now 44 and he hasn't spoken to Cruise since high school.
FYI -- On her MySpace, Fields also says she's the "biological mother" of Brad Pitt, all his children, Gisele Bundchen, Leo DiCaprio, Anna Nicole Smith ... and she ran for President in 2008.

Julian Bleecker, the guy Claire Elisabeth Fields Cruise claims is the biological father of one of Michael Jackson's kids, tells us it's all a "ridiculous accusation." Knock us over with a feather.
We just got him on the phone.... He says "Cruise" has been calling him lately to organize a high school reunion. He eventually had to cut off contact because she sounded "not quite right."
The last time he spoke to her was just under a week ago, when she asked him to be her "unofficial fiancé."
Crazy Baby Mama Fact #546: According to the lady herself, she changed her last name to "Cruise" when she married Tom in the 9th grade.

They're coming out of the woodwork -- someone else is trying to lay claim to Michael Jackson's kids.
A woman who goes by the name Claire Elisabeth Fields Cruise has filed three guardianship petitions -- one for each of MJ's three kids -- claiming "I am the biological mother of Prince Michael Jackson II and all of his siblings." Cruise also claims she's married to Michael Jackson "who is now deceased" -- but is also "engaged to Prince Michael Jackson II's biological father."
She also thinks she's the mother of one of Tom Cruise's kids.
Welcome to Neverland.

The godfather of Michael Jackson's three kids says he "could be" the father of Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris .. and it sounds like he may be waging a legal fight.
Mark Lester -- a longtime friend of Jackson's -- says M.J. asked him if he would donate sperm during the time the singer was married to Debbie Rowe. He says a London clinic contacted him and he obliged with the donation.
Lester claims there's an uncanny resemblance between his 15-year-old-daughter Harriet and Paris.
Lester, who spoke with News of the World, says he is willing to take a paternity test.
Lester says he has "concerns about the welfare and upbringing of the children." Lester says he does not currently have contact with Jackson's three kids and it's "heartbreaking."
Lester did not say he's gearing up for a legal fight, but the signs are there ....
UPDATE: 2:27 AM ET: Katherine Jackson's lawyer, Londell McMillan, is scoffing at Lester's claim and the move made by Dr. Arnold Klein's lawyer in court last Monday. McMillan said, "These genetic lottery attempts aren't going anywhere. They have no legal standing. They may seek 5 seconds of fame but the claims have no merit."

Yesterday was a day of celebration for the DNA victorious Larry Birkhead. Shortly after the news of Dannielynn's paternity was announced, Birkhead did some victory laps -- in a pool with his adorable niece and nephew.
While a huge weight has been lifted from Larry's shoulders, it looks like he'll still have heavyweight Virgie Arthur to contend with in a custody hearing.
It seems that Larry will be a swimmingly good dad, and Dannielynn will have some happy cousins to play with. *Sniff*

Britney let the world look up her skirt again, but his time, she kept her privates private. At her 25th birthday party, Britney shook her barely covered butt in front of a glass window, showing everyone that she does own panties afterall.
The day after Eddie Murphy's rep denied that his client made comments on a Dutch show questioning the paternity of Scary Spice's unborn child, TMZ obtained the footage showing Eddie doing just that. Maybe the rep figured our phones couldn't call internationally.
"Dodgeball" star Rip Torn's arrest in North Salem, New York wasn't his first run-in with police. In January 2004, Torn was arrested in New York City after crashing into a taxi. Check out his videotaped rant.
