His wife of three months, DEBBIE ROWE JACKSON, gave birth to their first child, a son, early on Feb. 13. No weight or name has been announced. Labor was apparently induced at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and--presto!--dozens of fans, paparazzi and security guards materialized. "Words can't describe how I feel," said Jackson in a statement. "I have been blessed beyond comprehension, and I will work tirelessly at being the best father I can be." He pleaded...
