My original question was to ask what she was denying, now I guess I found out:


Pop star Michael Jackson has taken an overdose of drugs and alcohol and is in serious condition in Bahrain, the U.S. weekly tabloid National Enquirer reported Friday.

The magazine did not mention whether Jackson was hospitalized due to his condition.

According to the report, associates of the Jackson family reported to the Santa Barbara police in Los Angeles that the singer had recently taken an overdose consisting of Demerol and Jack Daniels.

According to some reports, Jackson has already taken an overdose a number of times since arriving in Bahrain after he was acquitted of molesting a child in the United States.

Jackson's spokesman denied the report, saying that the singer was currently busy recording a song together with other artists for the Hurricane Katrina victims.

The spokesman added that he had been with Jackson the entire week and had never seen him happier and in a better mood. He also advised the National Enquirer to start looking for a good lawyer.

Well, looks like he's STILL working on the Katrina single, when it was first announced it was supposed to be out in mid-September!


Raymone Bain issues warning to media

10th of December

Raymone K. Bain, Personal spokesperson and publicist for Mr. Michael Jackson, releases the following statement:

“Michael Jackson has been working with several artists recording his Katrina Relief song, and with me all week, including today. He is doing fine. I have never seen him happier or healthier.

“Whomever these individuals are who are intent on disseminating false information throughout the media regarding Mr. Jackson, should begin hiring good attorneys. Likewise, the few irresponsible journalists who continuously rely on these ‘sources,’ and report this false information.

“Mr. Jackson’s tolerance level has come to an end. The Green light that people have thought they have had to willfully impugn Michael Jackson’s character and integrity has now become Red.”

Well... the timing of these reports makes you think.

BlueNote

Two words.'National' and 'Enquirer'

I feel you but the national enquirer has been more accurate than other news sources when it comes to celebrity news in the past few years.

Rhondab said:

I have to agree...The days of the National Enquirer doing Big Foot stories is dead...Mainstream media outlets are starting to be outscooped by the the Enquirer...After all, they were the ones that first reported the news that Bill Clinton was getting his mack on...And while US Weekly is no Newsweek, it has a lot more credibility than a lot of tabloid rags...Hey, it may not be true that MJ had a drug overdose, but the man has a serious problem and needs help...and not just the yes men and women he has around him...I hope the Jackson family snatches him up and gets the man some help...

Drinking alcohol in UAE??? In a Muslim country???

Soon, they´re gonna make him terrorist and Osama bin Laden collaborator.

Pretty funny...But seriously, I think you need to be worried for the man...
[Edited 12/11/05 10:54am]

why? YOu think there´s some truth to this story?
I just don´t believe this type of thing. How many times over the past years was he supposed to be over for different reasons. With the allegations, they saw him in jail, and even 10 years ago, they said he wouldn´t survive that. How many times was he supposed to be bankrupt, selling Neverland etc. etc. And look at Michael, he´s still here.


can´t see the picture.

F'real. Mike's doing a good enough job impugning his own character.

Sound like MJ is finally growing my hair on his nuts. They done did it now, they done got Mike ALL fucked now! All that "wacko jacko" shit, they gonna cut all that bullshit now. Mike gone start pullin some hoe-cards now. Thats that Neverland Crip shit!

dag said:

Let me count the ways...But seriously, it's widely known that the man has had an addiction to pills since the early '90s...His camp was forced to admit this in the past..The man has some serious problems, financially and mentally...And for the record, MJ has survived from going backrupt because he has taken out a ridiculously insane ammount of loans (Do you think people are suing him because he's had too much plastic surgery?) from business associates and his former label home...Yes, Mike is still here...But as a MJ fan can you truely look at yourself in the mirror and say that he's in a clear and healthy state of mind?

I can seriously believe that MJ will end up like witney!!!

All the signs are there and soon this guy will become like her too

Then his brothers who would have lost the house MJ bought for them
would do a reality TV show (Being the jacksons)

This is not a rediculous idea!! Think of it

for real! i dont know if its true or not this time (and lord knows i dont want it to be true) but if it IS true, boy needs some SERIOUS help! go back to the rehab or somethin! and i strongly suggest stayin away from the biz for a while, raise ya kids man (tho i know this will fall on def and pissed off ears)

Moonwalkbjrain said:

co-

if by those ears you mean someone like me, than no, I agree with you, IF this is true, he would need help. I was not saying that if this proved to be true,that it wasn´t bad. I was only quostioning the validity of this report.

luv4u said:

This is the quote people on here should be remembering. How can Michael overdose on pills and alcohol in a dry country.

It's sound how this man's representative put out a statement dening the story and people still believe it.

CandaceS said:

Well, aren't many Katrina victims still suffering? A release date was never concrete in the first place.

dag said:

no not you, the ears i mean are mj hisself (deaf ears) and fans of his who think he does nothin wrong, that he would NEVER get drunk, never take pills. i mean people that think he's jesus on earth or something (the pissed off ones)

In other news, disease killed people and a child died of starvation today.





Why do people care about this wealthy artist when there is so much more in this world to actually give a shit about?

Marrk said:

Excatly. If there was any truth to this, it would be all over the daily entertainment shows and the news wire.

VinnyM27 said:

It was in the daily papers in New York (not in the tabloid section) and in LA news papers...

murph said:

So? I got confirmation that it was totally false the next day... I know someone in Oman/Dubai/Bahrain travelling around with him Overdose my arse, he was in the next room prancing about as we spoke.

damn, your lucky, why dont you ever convince that person to take you along with them to meet him, i know thats exactly what id be doing.

Not really, she'd compromise her position if she started promising fan friends priviledges.

I think one of the main problems is Raymone Bain. Her denials are about as valid as MJ's claims of only two face surgeries.
As for getting alcohol in a dry country, he's probably getting alcohol, young boys, and anything else his sick, little heart desires.

Seriously, if you don't know anything about countries in the Gulf, don't assume. It's borderline racist grouping and entire region of nations as accepting of child molestation when it's the complete and total opposite. Did you not hear about the executions of those 2 teenagers in Iran this year?
