Ed went yesterday, Farrah went today. He needs to start taking care of himself because he ain't too young to be the next one. Slow down and put some food in that skinny ass body. And I ain't talking no fruits and berries, eat some damn meat.

It could happen. Besides the man has been known to abuse his body by not eating. I remember the 1995 episode too.

New update at TMZ
UPDATE: A Jackson family member tells TMZ Michael is in "really bad shape" and the brothers are headed to UCLA.

oh no

He was supposed to do it in December of that year. I remembered it because they said Janet canceled attending the Billboard awards to visit Michael in the hospital. She was supposed to get the Lifetime Achievement Award but passed on it, she eventually got it in 2001.

i had a dream that he died. some of my dreams have come true. I had two dreams that he was gonna be found not guilty. and that come true. I'm really worried.

moussemaker said:

Damn. That's fucked up.

Nooooo

Which is damn rediculous because he's as skinny as a damn beanpole. I can remember reading in the tabloids about him not eating as far back as he "Thriller" era and his family worried that he would meet the same fate as Karen Carpenter.

vainandy said:

And it looks like he was ignorant to their concerns because it looks like he IS going out like Karen.

Here's another TMZ update from Joe Jackson: "He's not doing good."

I'm always cautious when it comes to news on Michael but this isn't a rumor. I think his habits, stress over lawsuits, the London gigs and all of that has once again caused him to overdo it. He don't watch it, he may not be with us any longer.

Pray for Michael!!!

suga10 said:

I don't believe in prayers.

But you know something? I'm actually not surprised. Like Jackie said, the news was different than what I expected. In fact, I would think he'd knew he would have to take care of himself. He's been looking like a toothpick in the last six years.

At first I thought this was a stunt to get out of touring next week ....

i read on a website called x17 from the maximum jackson board that michael may have passed away. it wouldn't let me copy and paste though.

LOS ANGELES -- Pop star Michael Jackson has been taken to UCLA Medical Center by ambulance suffering from cardiac arrest, fire officials confirm.

Los Angeles Fire Department Captain Steve Ruda said paramedics responded to a 911 call at Jackson's home around 12:26 p.m. He was not breathing when they arrived. The paramedics performed CPR and took him to UCLA Medical Center, Ruda says.

It's unclear what he was being treated for or what his current condition may be.

I don't remember that.

trueiopian said:

I really don't know if it's a stunt or not, but I do not want see him perform if it's making him sick on the verge of death. I'm not even mad I won't get to go if he cancels.

They just announced on the AM news here *still unconfirmed details* that Michael suffered a cardiac arrest after consuming sleeping pills in an apparent suicide and was not breathing on arrival of the paramedics...

Cinnie said:

Yeah they said Michael was rehearsing for the show in New York and he suddenly collapsed. He was rushed to a New York hospital and paramedics confirmed he had cardiac arrest.

PanthaGirl said:

I'm glad you said "unconfirmed". I guess we'll find out if it's true or not about the suicide attempt...

alphastreet said:

Yea, I hope he recovers
He's one of my fav. artists

Anything the media says as of now regarding the state of his condition at the moment. We can't take seriously.

I am not surprised at all about this news.....I knew that there would be this sort of thing just before his shows in London.....those shows will never happen!
[Edited 6/25/09 14:34pm]

I'm just trying to stay calm right now. Pleaaaase, couldn't take any bad news about him. Hope hell be okay!

According to KTLA, he was not breathing when paramedics arrived.
