  Jacksons hair made into diamonds -- for real

  摘要:自从迈克尔 杰克逊在6月25日突然辞世,有关他私生活的各种光怪陆离的传闻便不绝于耳。上周五,一家公司说准备把他的头发制成钻石。这个传闻是真的。

  Since Michael Jacksons sudden death on June 25, the rumor mill over details of his bizarre personal life has ground away nearly non-stop, and on Friday, one company said it was turning his hair into diamonds. That one is true.

  The claims this week included a report in Rolling Stone magazine that a prosthetic nose he wore apparently went missing when he was taken to the morgue, and a British tabloid trumpeted a headline that he fathered a secret love-child.

  In one by-product of the Thriller singers death, a Chicago company said on Friday it had obtained some of the hair Jackson burned while filming a 1984 Pepsi commercial and planned to create a limited edition of diamonds from it.

  Absolutely this is for real, said Dean VandenBiesen, founder of LifeGem, which has a patent on a process that extracts carbon from hair, turns it into crystals and then into high-quality laboratory diamonds.

  VandenBiesen told Reuters he thought the company could make about 10 diamonds. No sale price has been set but VandenBiesen said LifeGem created three diamonds from locks of Beethovens hair in 2007, and sold one of them for around $200,000.

  Separately, the August 6 issue of Rolling Stone magazine reported that not only was the left arm of Jacksons dead body scored with needle marks -- claims that have arisen before -- but he wore an artificial nose that was missing when he was taken to the Los Angeles county morgue.

  The prosthesis that he normally attached to his damaged nose was missing, revealing bits of cartilage surrounding a small dark hole, the magazine said in an unsourced report.

  While that report could not be confirmed, Los Angeles coroners officials did say earlier this week they were probing security breaches in their offices.

  The coroners office is expected to release an official cause of death next week which could shed light on some of the reports, including Jacksons possible use of powerful drugs.

  And even as custody of Jacksons three children is set to be decided in court on August 3, The Sun newspaper speculated the singer may have had a love-child raised in Norway.

  Omer Bhatti, 25, sparked interest when he was spotted sitting with the singers immediate family at Jacksons public memorial earlier this month. Bhatti reportedly spent time with Jackson at his Neverland Valley Ranch in the 1990s and was known as Little Michael.

  But another of Jacksons former proteges, singer Ricky Harlow, told celebrity website People.com on Friday that although they were close he doubted Bhatti was Jacksons son.

  They had a father-and-son type of connection, Harlow, 26, told People, but I never thought he was his biological father.

  In Jacksons 2002 will, the singer listed only three children now living: Prince Michael Jackson, Jr, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince Michael Joseph Jackson II.

  自从迈克尔 杰克逊在6月25日突然辞世,有关他私生活的各种光怪陆离的传闻便不绝于耳。上周五,一家公司说准备把他的头发制成钻石。这个传闻是真的。

  本周的传闻包括滚石杂志上的一篇报道,上面说迈克尔 杰克逊的尸体在送到太平间的时候他的假鼻子很明显不知去向。一份英国小报对迈克尔 杰克逊有一个秘密的私生子大作文章。

  这位惊悚歌手去世之后还有这样一则消息:芝加哥的一家公司上周五说它已得到杰克逊1984年拍摄百事可乐广告时烧掉的部分头发,并打算把这些头发制成限量版钻石。

  这绝对是真的, 生命珍宝公司的创始人迪恩 凡登比森说。生命珍宝公司能够从头发中抽取碳元子,把它制成水晶和高质量的实验室专用钻石,并在这项技术上拥有专利。

  凡登比森告诉路透社说他认为公司能制造大约10颗钻石。目前还没确定售价,不过凡登比森说生命珍宝公司在2007年曾用贝多芬的几绺头发制造出三颗钻石,其中一颗售价约为20万美金。

  另外,滚石杂志8月6日刊报道说,不仅像此前传闻中所说的在杰克逊尸体的左臂上有针孔痕迹,而且他在被送往洛杉矶郡停尸间的时候还丢了一个假鼻子。

  该杂志称:他平时在受损的鼻子上所移植的假鼻子丢失了,在一个小黑洞周围露出一些软骨组织。报道中没有说明消息来源。

  尽管那篇报道不能被核实,洛杉矶的验尸官员在本周初时说,他们正在调查验尸官办公室里违犯安全的事件。

  验尸官办公室打算于下周公布官方调查的杰克逊死因,这份报告将对一些报道予以澄清,包括杰克逊可能服用强力毒品的报道。

  尽管8月3日法庭将判决杰克逊三个孩子的监护权,太阳报猜测杰克逊可能在挪威还有一个私生子。

  本月早些时候在杰克逊的公众追悼会上,当25岁的欧默 巴提被看到和杰克逊的直系亲属坐在一起时,他立刻引起了人们的兴趣。 据报道,巴提在20世纪90年代曾在杰克逊的梦幻农庄和他共度了一段时光,还被人称为小迈克尔。

  但是杰克逊过去的另一个追随者,歌手里奇 哈娄,却在周五告诉名人网站People.com说,虽然巴提和杰克逊很亲密,但是他对巴提是杰克逊的儿子这一说法持怀疑态度。

  他们之间有父子般的感情,26岁的哈娄告诉名人网站People.com,但是我从来不认为他是巴提的生父。

  在杰克逊2002年的遗嘱中,他只提到了三名在世的子女:普林斯 迈克尔 杰克逊、帕里斯 迈克尔 凯瑟琳 杰克逊和普林斯 迈克尔 杰克逊II。
