Michael Jackson sounds like he's may or may not be sickly

So many rumors are being spread about the state of Michael Jackson’s health. Reality is, he does look a bit scary in his recent pics, but we’ve never got confirmation that he was deathly ill. His spokesperson says Mijac is just fine! The UK Sun caused a stir by saying “He (Mijac) 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’s the most problematic part. It could kill him.” The Insider posted a pic of Mike being pushed in wheelchair after browsing through children’s books in Barnes & Nobles in Vegas. Mike Lopez, the photographer who took the pics said Mijac looked “really frail”. Well, despite all the rumors, Michael Jackson’s spokesperson said that he is in “fine health”.

“Mr. Jackson is in fine health, and finalizing negotiations with a major entertainment company & television network for both a world tour and a series of specials and appearances,” said Dr. Tohme Tohme, identified as Jackson’s “official and sole spokesperson.”

Back Again: Jackson 5 to Reunite next year

Pip Bulbeck, The Hollywood Reporter

The Jackson 5 will reunite in 2009, brother Jermaine Jackson confirmed today (Oct. 29) at a TV industry function in Sydney.

Jackson is in Australia to help launch a new "greatest hits" TV channel for paynet Foxtel and confirmed the rumors at the event.

"This has been a long time coming for the Jackson family to get back together," he told the Australian Associated Press.

"It is just the timing, so what we've been doing is working on the music and all the logistics. It is going to be more like a family affair, Janet's going to open and, of course, the original Jackson 5 ... Michael, Randy and the whole family ... We're in the studio, we're planning on being out there next year."

The Jacksons received a lifetime achievement award from BMI in early September in Los Angeles, but brother Marlon made no secret of his displeasure with Michael's absence at the ceremony.

Asked where Jackson was, he told the Associated Press, "I don't know. I think he's in Egypt riding a camel or something."

The Jacksons rose to fame in the late '60s recording for Motown. Brother Michael had become a solo star by the late '70s, although he remained in the group through the 1984 album "Victory." One last release, 1989's "2300 Jackson Street," featured limited involvement by him and Marlon.

BMI Awards: Reunion of the Jacksons... kinda

The Jacksons were crowned icons at the BMI Urban Awards last night (Sept. 4) in Los Angeles, but the King of Pop was an absentee.

Janet Jackson presented her music-making brothers -- Michael, Tito, Jackie, Marlon, Jermaine and Randy -- with the lifetime achievement BMI Icon award following a musical tribute at the award show celebrating R&B and hip-hop's top hitmakers. While Tito, Jackie, Marlon and Randy reunited to accept the award, Jermaine and Michael didn't attend the Wilshire Theatre ceremony.

Where was the Moonwalker? "I don't know," Marlon told the Associated Press before the show. "I think he's in Egypt riding a camel or something."

The Jackson Five -- which included Michael along with Marlon, Jackie, Tito and Jermaine -- was a groundbreaking act that debuted on the 1969 album "Diana Ross Presents The Jackson 5." The group simply became the Jacksons after leaving Motown in 1976, replacing Jermaine with Randy.

"It's a great honor to know your music influenced a generation," said Tito. "We're very proud of this moment."

Michael Jackson pt. 1 The Bio

It's Michael Jackson... whether or not you think he's crazy as shit right now... he possibly is the best musician ever. Here's part 1 of MJ and his bio...

Michael Joseph Jackson (born August 29, 1958) is an American musician and entertainer. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene at the age of eleven as a member of The Jackson 5. Jackson began a solo career in 1972; he became a pop icon and was named the "King of Pop" in subsequent years. Five of his solo studio albums have become some of the world's best-selling pop records: Off the Wall (1979), Thriller (1982), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995).

Jackson became a dominant figure in popular music in the late 1970s as the first African-American entertainer to amass a strong crossover following on MTV. The popularity of his music videos airing on MTV, such as "Beat It", "Billie Jean" and Thriller—credited for transforming the concept of music video into an art form and a promotional tool—helped bring the relatively young channel to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" kept Jackson a staple on MTV in the 1990s. With stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized physically complicated dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style influenced numerous hip hop, pop and contemporary R&B artists.

Jackson has donated and raised several hundred million dollars for beneficial causes through his Dangerous World Tour, charity singles and support of thirty-nine charities.[1][2] However, other aspects of his personal life have generated significant controversies, his plastic surgery, lightening skin tone due to vitiligo and eccentric behavior that have damaged his public image. He was accused of child sexual abuse in 1993, although the matter was settled out of court. In 2005, Jackson was tried and later acquitted of further child molestation allegations and several other charges. He has been the subject of long-term financial difficulties and health concerns.

Jackson is one of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice. His awards include multiple Guinness World Records, including one for Thriller as the world's best-selling album, thirteen Grammy Awards, thirteen number one singles in his solo career—more than any other male artist after the creation of the Billboard Hot 100—and the sale of over 750 million units worldwide. Jackson's highly publicized personal life, coupled with his successful career, has made him a part of popular culture for almost four decades.
