Michael Jackson Rumors False

Fox News reporter, Roger Friedman, says he’s been speaking to a “regular insider” and has learned that Michael Jackson isn’t ill, doesn’t need a lung transplant and is really living in a rental in Beverly Hills with his children, doing just fine. Gotta love his headline: “Jacko Not Sick, Except in the Head target=”_blank”.” That’s the first report we’ve seen that these rumors are false.

We saw plenty of reports about his alleged mysterious disease before that, with details such as he was practically blind and that the problem was genetic. Here’s the best headline we saw on that: Michael Jackson Gravelly Ill. Ok, we knew right away he wasn’t gravelly ill, but now we know he’s not even gravely ill. (The article does mention some of the sources of the rumors are pretty shaky).

Expect to hear more about Michael, with the recent lawsuit by “Billie Jean Jackson,” who evidently is the surrogate mother of Prince Michael Jackson II a/k/a Blanket. She wants joint custody, weekend visits, a voice in decision-making regarding his education and, of course, a billion dollars.

If you’re too busy to read Roger Friedman’s article, he also points out that he spoke with Darren Julien a few days ago. Darren Julien is arranging a big Jackson memorabilia auction in Los Angeles next April. Julien told the Fox News reporter that everything was proceeding without incident, that Jackson was not sick and actually “seemed really organized” about the sale.
