I remember him going to the hospital several times over the years.

Does anyone know if he has a drug problem?

Thanks!

Micheal Jackson is battling a genetic disease that has left him half blind and needing a lung transplant, it was claimed last night.

The superstar, 50 - seen in a wheelchair earlier this year - is said to be so frail he can barely speak.

Jacko’s secret was revealed by his biographer Ian Halperin, who declared: “He needs a lung transplant, but may be too weak to go through with it. He also has emphysema and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, which his doctors have had a lot of trouble stopping.

“It’s the bleeding that’s the most problematic part. It could kill him.”

How sad.

I thought a 100% blockage meant that the vessels supplying oxygen rich blood to the heart were blocked but I could be wrong.

I was not condemning you for your statement if it seemed that way? I in fact said I would share your very statement if it was Obama. Because like you say Jesus said if anyone harms one of these little ones.....just like you said.

and if the cardiac arrest is caused by trauma such as a gunshot or motor vehicle accident they are even more f**ked, although I doubt that is the case here. Trauma code almost never ever live

I know his illness scams (the little boy who cried “wolf”) but if the EMT’s were reported doing CPR, this time it’s serious.

who weighs a reported 126lbs and eats just one meal a day

Did he do a Karen Carpenter?

IIRC she died of a heart attack because she was terrified of being fat and her anorexia/bulemia weakened her heart.

From the L.A. Times:

Pop star Michael Jackson was rushed to a hospital this afternoon by Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics.

Capt. Steve Ruda said paramedics responded to a call at Jackson's home around 12:26 p.m. He was not breathing when they arrived. The parademics performed CPR and took him to UCLA Medical Center, Ruda told The Times.

[Updated at 2:12 p.m. (PDT): Paramedics were called to a home on the 100 block of Carolwood Drive off Sunset Boulevard. Jackson rented the Bel Air home for $100,000 a month. It was described as a French chateau estate built in 2002 with seven bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, 12 fireplaces and a theater.

The home is about 2 minutes away from UCLA Medical Center.]

BreakingNews Pop star Michael Jackson was not breathing when paramedics arrived at his home in L.A., a fire department official tells the L.A. Times.

Idle speculation: The 911 call came in at 12:21, which is when you'd expect a Michael Jackson to be first getting up. Someone might checked on him when he didn't get up, and found him in a state of not breathing. This is a common drug OD scenario.

The ‘Incredible Hulk’ actor – a former Mr. Universe – is paying secret visits to the ‘Thriller’ star’s Los Angeles home to help him prepare for his forthcoming ‘This Is It’ run of shows at London’s O2 arena.

A couple of years ago I was attending the San Diego Comic-Con and got to see Ferrigno, who was staying at the same (moderately-priced) hotel throw a hissy fit that the limo he'd called for ten minutes before hadn't yet arrived through the heavy traffic and narrow streets of the Gaslamp District to drive him the three blocks to the convention hall.

After he stormed off, the woman at the desk looked and me and sighed, saying "He does this every year. Maybe he should call for the limo a little earlier."
