If that's true, that's as grim as it gets.

No 'Eaten Alive' jokes!

That story just seems to have been made up to go along with the picture of him with a slightly blotchy face. Smells like BS to me.

MJ has kept himself in the media glare for decades by leaking this health issue and that rare health malady. Either he's really sickly or a hypochondriac. Or just desperate for attention.

ThreadBare said:

Or all of the above.

And @ "eaten alive."

ThreadBare said:

Or the Sun is having a slow news week?

Marrk said:

Marrk ...i was laughing....but it's no joke Mike's in real trouble poor guy ...he looks real bad...his health is not good ...as an icon of the 80's I hope he get's better soon...

Just read this and it looks like its not made up .... look at that picture it http://www.dailymail.co.u...-body.html

Amidst all of the rumors and fabrications I believe there’s truth in there somewhere and it’s not pretty.

JackieBlue said:

You're probably right about that, but until someone reliable tells us what it is, it doesn't seem worth freaking out over.

Im sorry but none of those pictures show anything idicative of a skin disorder, other than the pigmentation "issues" he's had for years. Now ive seen it comes from more than one source (albeit 2 pretty low rent newspapers) - im inclined to think there is some truth in this - but you cant tell anything from those pictures.

Mj up 2 old tricks I see.....

I dont know how in the world Diana got Mike to sing that wretched song.

CrozzaUK said:

Your inclined ?....look i'm no fan of the Daily Mail ...forget about the picture in The Sun Newspaper...Look at the picture in the Daily Mail....
You don't have to be Qunicy MD to work out that Mike is "REALLY" not well he's sick...I don't know if it MRSA ...but it's not good..

Well he co-wrote it with Barry and Maurice Gibb.

LondonStyle said:

His right hand doesn't look normal, it's a bit grotesque. And what's with the shower cap?

JackieBlue said:

Looks really puffy...like fluid in the fingers ...his skin is red..like sunburn..

paisleypark4 said:

I don't know how in the world Mike & Barry Gibb got Diana to sing it myself. The song is just bad on all fronts. A bad move in all their careers.

With the pictures I've seen, the skin does look troubling but I'll wait until I hear it confirmed.

Timmy84 said:

oh yeah....have a look at this Dr Ruth....

I'd go see my GP about it ...with or without sunglasses

LondonStyle said:

I remembered seeing that but... I don't know... I'm hoping that's not really the case.

His hand looks awful. I thought I saw some discoloration on the bit of face that’s actually visible but figured people would say it’s nothing but now I’m not so sure. I’m surprised he’s not wearing gloves.

JackieBlue said:

Me too, believe it or not. I don't know what the fuck is going on and I just hate trying to speculate just what the fuck is going on with Michael's body.

I'm not surprised!

trueiopian said:

At what, his condition or that he doesn't wear gloves to cover it up?

Timmy84 said:

The condition.

trueiopian said:

Oh...

Well I just... I'm trying to think it's from treatment of the current condition he got like lupus or something. Other than that, I'm not gonna speculate that he may have the MRSA condition, you just never know how stories turn out especially in someone like Michael's case.

i think it is just the usual BS if his skin was that bad there would be evidence of it on the photos from a couple of days before where he managed to wear normal clothes for once



i like that jacket he is wearing in this picture

b3xy said:

That's what I think too.

Timmy84 said:

You think that's a picture of a well man ...have you looked at the photos posted ...he's sick...that's it, he's sick ...it may not be MRSA ...but Mike's ill ...

It probably is just the same ole same ole stuff altho he could have had the infection then and it got worse over a few days.

There is such blatant disrespect for Michael—some of which I think he may have brought on himself that it’s unbelievable. Every week it’s a law suit or a health issue. This has been going on for years and it’s just lame and tired and part of me knows it’s the media but part of me also wishes he would not only stand up to it but put on a pair of jeans and a sport jacket and go to a freakin’ basketball game and leave the kids at home.

I can't believe this is what he/it's become.

JackieBlue said:

It is tiresome but what can he do? It has been going on for some 25 years now, it's likely it'll continue.

Timmy84 said:

I know but who else is targeted like this? Sometimes I think if he were more assertive and outspoken. And they may not lead to anything at all, I already know this.

But sometimes I think these people should be taken to task.

When Tom Cruise got sprayed by a water gun he turned directly to the guy who did and asked him, “Why did you do that?” He put him on the spot and the guy couldn’t answer. He repeatedly asked him and he wasn't nasty but he was firm and dead serious. What I like is that he addressed him. Tom didn’t look foolish, the guy who attacked him did. You shouldn’t be able to do whatever you want to someone and not have to answer questions when confronted. Of course MJ can’t do this every time it happens but he has an energy of someone who can be pushed over which is precisely why I think it happens so much aside from the fact that he’s different.
