Michael Jackson is gravely ill and needs a lung transplant - Polidicks

[quote]…award-winning investigative journalist Ian Halperin tells In Touch that he believes that the King of Pop is fighting for is life. 'Michael has a very severe lung condition called Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency,' Halperin, a New York Times best-selling author, tells In Touch exclusively. 'He's had it for years but it's gotten worse. He needs a lung transplant but may be too weak to go through with it. He also has emphysema and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, which his doctors have had a lot of trouble stopping. It's the bleeding that is the most problematic part. It could kill him.' Because this genetic disease is so rare - Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency affects just 1 in 5,000 Americans - it's been difficult to treat, says Halperin. 'For years, Michael has been working with his own doctors to make sure his condition doesn't progress. He has been on many medications that have stabilized him.' But as the disease has progressed, Halperin says that the pop star's quality of life has diminished. 'He can barely speak,' says Halperin. 'Also, the vision in his left eye is 95 percent gone.' Brother Jermaine Jackson seemed to confirm that something was seriously wrong with Michael. 'He's not doing so well right now,' Jermaine told foxnews.com. This isn't a good time.'[/quote] I saw this in several newspapers this morning and it's all over the internet. I love MJ and gutted to hear about this. Such a shitty way for it to end. [url]http://www.fafarazzi.com/gossip/391173/Michael-Jackson-is-gravely-ill-and-needs-a-lung-transplant[/url] It does explain all the masks and oxygen things he had. This still sucks balls. [B]EDIT[/B] Apparently he is fine, these are all lies made by a ego chasing journalist. I hope somebody makes a lie about him.. like.. his balls are small.

He'll get one. For sure.

:( :( :(

He should take one from a child.

Awesome. :ahaw:

Poor guy, but in before tasteless children joke. :(

Sounds like he may just beat it after all.

[QUOTE=WaLLy3K]Poor guy, but in before tasteless children joke. :([/QUOTE] Because we should all respect and admire child molesters, because they are talented musicians! I'd be more sympathetic to his case were he not an alleged fondler of little boys willies. And also left his face alone.

Wow, the guy's buggered, unfortunate to hear. [QUOTE=Rusty100]Because we should all respect and admire child molesters, because they are talented musicians![/QUOTE] [img]http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/5809/garyglitter460gg4.jpg[/img] Oh, wait, [i]talented[/i]

Damn :(

He won't get a transplant in time.. he's too ill for surgery as it is

[QUOTE=Rusty100]Because we should all respect and admire child molesters, because they are talented musicians! I'd be more sympathetic to his case were he not an alleged fondler of little boys willies. And also left his face alone.[/QUOTE] I was going to make a joke like that, but let's face it, he's made great music, there's no actual evidence he likes children and his skin is lighter because of vitiligo and lupus so he got surgery to make him look more like a white guy, I guess. Give the man a break.

It sounds like MJ is pretty fucked up at the moment, soon enough we'll be saying "Another one bites the dust-ah!" Wait, that's Queen...

[QUOTE=Rusty100]To me, the fact he made great music (which I don't like anyway) doesn't factor in.[/QUOTE] So you're saying he's a kiddy fiddler even though there's not really any evidence? I think he's just a bit weird, that's all.

He may be a little bit... odd, but he made the best music :D

He hasn't made good music in years so it can't really be a factor either. Recent stuff is just collections of old stuff and remixes. Was pretty good back in the day though.

Does he need a white lung or a black one?

He'll get the lung, no question.

[QUOTE=Rusty100]Because we should all respect and admire child molesters, because they are talented musicians! I'd be more sympathetic to his case were he not an alleged fondler of little boys willies. And also left his face alone.[/QUOTE] Except it was never proven. He just hangs around with kids for some reason, might be strange, but I still think it's awful how the media instantly made him out to look like the sickest pedophile since some pope

He made awesome music. Shame he became so strange though.

He won't get a lung. he's too ill for surgery. and hospitals won't rush him forward because he's old and it's a hereditary disease he has done nothing about.

Don't worry, he'll beat it.

[QUOTE=Rusty100]Because we should all respect and admire child molesters, because they are talented musicians! I'd be more sympathetic to his case were he not an alleged fondler of little boys willies. And also left his face alone.[/QUOTE] Well since Michael Jackson never really had a childhood I guess it's quite obvious he is a bit strange, because he wasn't raised like an ordinary child.

Well, if he dies now at least he'll never have the agony of looking like a sainsbury's bag when he's 70.

[QUOTE=Bread_Baron]I was going to make a joke like that, but let's face it, he's made great music, there's no actual evidence.[/QUOTE] What so the words and testimony of a mother who was known to police and the courts as a compulsive liar and has been involved in several other similar cases isn't evidence? Good god! I've been deceived! [QUOTE=Pekey_1]He just hangs around with kids for some reason[/QUOTE] He used to have his own charity for severely ill children hence the circus stuff he used to have in his yard.

It'd suck if he died on christmas.

As much as I dislike Michael Jackson's music, I gotta say this is a shitty way to go out.

[QUOTE=Buckethead79]It'd suck if he died on christmas.[/QUOTE] Why the fuck would it? Christmas is just another day. I'm surprised people still celebrate it.

1st verse. She was more like a beauty queen from a movie scene I said don't mind, but what do you mean you are the donor Who will donate on the floor in the OR She said I am the donor who will donate on the floor in the OR 2nd verse She told me her name was billie jean, as she caused a scene Then every head turned with eyes that dreamed of being the donor Who will donate on the floor in the OR Bridge People always told me be careful of what you breathe And don't go around buying young girls lungs And mother always told me be careful of what you breathe And be careful of what you do cause lungs aren't cheap Chorus Billie jean is not my donor Shes just a girl who claims that she is the one. But the lung is not my type She says she is the donor, but the lung is not my type 3rd verse For forty days and forty nights The doc was on her side But who can stand with lungs in demand Her schemes and plans cause she donated on the floor in the OR So take my weak advice, just remember to always think twice (do think twice) 4th verse She told my baby,we were donating till 3:00 Then she looked at me, she show me a blood test My baby cried, cause her eyes worked unlike mine Bridge People always told me be careful of what you breathe And don't go around buying young girls lungs She came and laid right by me Then the smell of sweet perfume This happened much too soon I choked as the doctor came into my room Chorus Billie jean is not my donor Shes just a girl who claims that she is the one But the lung is not my type Billie jean is not my donor Shes just a girl who claims that she is the one But the lung is not my type Shes just a girl who claims that she is the one Shes just a girl who claims that she is the one Billie jean is not my donor Shes just a girl who claims that she is the one But the lung is not my type Shes just a girl who claims that she is the one She says she is the one, she says it is my lung She says she is the one Billie jean is not my donor Billie jean is not my donor Billie jean is not my donor Billie jean is not my donor Billie jean is not my donor Billie jean is not my donor
