Farrow says son might be Sinatra’s

Mia Farrow said in an interview with Vanity Fair that it’s possible her son with Woody Allen is instead Frank Sinatra’s.

Farrow told the magazine that she and Sinatra “never really split up” and when asked if Ronan Farrow might actually be Sinatra’s son, she answered, “Possibly.”

Ronan Farrow tweeted Wednesday: “Listen, we’re all *possibly* Frank Sinatra’s son.”

A representative for Allen told the Associated Press, “The article is so fictitious and extravagantly absurd that he is not going to comment.”

Mia Farrow was married to Sinatra for 18 months. Asked about the Sinatra family’s relationship with Ronan, the singer’s daughter, Nancy Sinatra Jr., told the magazine he “is a big part of us, and we are blessed to have him in our lives.”

Farrow and Allen had a 12-year relationship but split in 1992, when the actress discovered the director was having an affair with her adopted daughter from another marriage, Soon-Yi Previn, now Allen’s wife. A lengthy custody battle followed for Ronan and the couple’s two other children, in which Farrow accused Allen of sexually abusing another adopted child.

Ronan Farrow graduated from college at 15 and went to Yale Law School before becoming a Rhodes scholar and special adviser to the secretary of state for global youth issues.

Prosecutor: Bieber only ‘immature’

Justin Bieber won’t face criminal charges for allegedly threatening a neighbor who complained about his driving. City News Service says Los Angeles County prosecutors decided Wednesday that there’s insufficient evidence to charge the pop star.

A neighbor in Bieber’s gated Calabasas neighborhood told a sheriff’s deputy that Bieber threatened him and spat in his direction when he confronted the 19-year-old about his driving last March. Prosecutor Alan Yochelson wrote in a document that Bieber’s response seemed “immature” but not necessarily criminal.

He also said there’s not enough evidence to charge Bieber over a neighbor’s complaint that Bieber drove his Ferrari recklessly through the area in May. Yochelson said it’s unclear who was at the wheel.
