Randy Jackson suffers mild heart attack

PASADENA -- Randy Jackson Tuesday was taken to Huntington Memorial Hospital after suffering chest pains. It's believed Michael Jackson's younger brother suffered a mild heart attack.

A Jackson family rep told several new media sources that Randy Jackson was not taken the the hospital by ambulance, that he is still at the hospital undergoing a battery of tests.

Michael Jackson's youngest brother was working on his late brother's one-year anniversary memorial when the pains began.

The Jackson family rep also said , "Randy is doing as well as can be expected. This is the first time he has ever felt pain like this."

"He doesn't want to take any chances. He wants to make sure that he's well enough to make his brother's anniversary a memorable day for his family and Michael's fans."

The Jackson family was in court Monday to support revocation of Dr. Murray's California medical license, but the judge ruled in the doctor's favor. The Jacksons saw this as a "tremendous blow."

Is it a confirmed "mild heart attack"? AP/Yahoo is saying it's not a confirmed heart attack.

LOS ANGELES – Randy Jackson, brother of the late pop legend Michael Jackson, was hospitalized Tuesday in Southern California.

Jackson, 48, experienced chest pains around noon on Tuesday and was taken to Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena, where he is currently awaiting the outcome of tests, a source close to the Jackson family who spoke only on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly said.

The source told The Associated Press that doctors at the hospital think it was a mild heart attack, but this has not yet been confirmed.

On Monday, Randy Jackson was in court with his family for a hearing in the involuntary manslaughter case of Dr. Conrad Murray who is accused in connection with Michael Jackson's death. Randy Jackson arrived after everyone else and stopped to hug his parents, his brothers and sister LaToya before the hearing began.

Last week, he made an appearance on CNN's "Newsroom" and expressed the opinion that Murray should be charged with first-degree murder. He also said he thought others were implicated in Michael's death.

In a series of posts on Twitter in the last few weeks, Randy Jackson said he had succeeded in stopping an unapproved tribute show to Michael in Rome which had been scheduled on June 25, the anniversary of his death. He said he also had been talking to officials at Forest Lawn Glendale in an effort to have fans admitted to the area near Jackson's tomb on the anniversary.

He said in his posts that the fans had been a great source of comfort to him.

"At times, I'm sad & broken," he tweeted. "But ur supprt helps 2 encourage me and fuel my motivation 2 continue this fight 4 truth&justice."

dreamfactory31 3	This is terrible, Im praying for a full recovery. This family is starting to remind me of the Kennedy family in a way. I think maybe the stress of it all has gotten to him.
