Michael Jackson Has Another Nose Job, Gets Serious Infection

Sassy Smith — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 14:04:00 GMT

Michael Jackson has reportedly undergone another nose job and is now being treated for a skin disorder, that could turn into a flesh-eating infection.

Jackson was recently spotted leaving a Beverly Hills clinic with swollen, discolored hands and is being treated with a high dose of antibiotics.

A source said, "Michael Jackson has a severe staph infection that he contracted during work to reconstruct his nose.

"The disease is an MRSA-style infection because it is resistant to conventional antibiotics, so he has been visiting a clinic to get antibiotics via an IV drip.

"The infection has spread throughout his face and body and is being aggressively treated by doctors. There's a chance it could turn into a flesh-eating disorder where it begins to kill off his skin so he's being very carefully monitored."

Seriously, what is the man thinking? Another nose job? I would think there's not much left to do in that area. Why would he want to risk his health when he's got three young children to think about? Who would care for them if he wasn't there?

What is with these celebrities putting their vanity ahead of their well-being and risk not being present for their kids?

Booze & Pills Killing Michael Jackson, Has Six Months To Live

Sassy Smith — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 16:05:00 GMT

Michael Jackson is not well - actually, 'not well' is a bit of an understatement. The former king of pop is reportedly in failing health due to a genetic lung disorder. Reps for Jackson deny this but pals say that he is very ill, bedridden most of the time and is addicted to painkillers and alcohol.

Friends of the singer are fearful that Jackson will die in the next few months.

A pal says, "It's tragic. His condition is just so far gone, I'd be surprised if he lasts six months.

"Painkillers and booze have caught up with him. The only way he was able to cope with the stress of sex scandels and his roller-coaster life was to mask the pain with substance abuse.

"But the end result is an addiction that will kill him."

The friend adds that Jackson became addicted to pills as far back as the infamous Pepsi commercial where Michael's hair was burned. Now, twenty five years later, "the drugs simply have ravaged him."

The 50-year-old Jackson is in "really, really bad shape. He's been sick for six to eight months and he just keeps getting worse.

"His muscles and lungs are deteriorating, and he's bedridden much of the time. He can walk, but not for very long.

"On good days, Michael is able to take his kids to a bookstore. But he's never out for more than an hour. He has very little strength... It's ultimately in God's hands."

Michael, according to biographer Ian Halperin, is suffering from Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency and Jackson's addiction to morphine and Demerol can make the condition worse. It's believed that Michael needs a lung transplant.

Halperin said he was told by a Jackson family friend, "Michael wants to have the lung transplant, but because of the other illnesses he's fighting, he's too weak to undergo such a major procedure. He's taking one painkiller after another."

Halperin also claims that Jackson is suffering from emphysema, and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding.

"It's the bleeding that could kill him," said Halperin.

Michael's people say it's all false, that "Mr. Jackson is in fine health."

But the close friend says, "Michael's fighting for his life. And it doesn't look good."

If any of this is even remotely true - how are Michael's kids handling having a sick father? What if something happens to him - who would raise his kids?

Michael Jackson Is Dying?

Sassy Smith — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 15:06:00 GMT

For years there was talk of Michael Jackson making a career comeback but to date it's never happened. There were rumors of a Jackson 5 reunion, of Michael doing a stint in Vegas and duets with other popular artists. Had he done any of those things, he may have been able to dig his way out of the massive financial debt he's now found himself in. But there may be a very good reason he's never tried to get his career back on track - Michael is reportedly suffering from a fatal lung disease.

According to Michael Jackson biographer Ian Halperin, the 50-year-old former pop star is suffering from Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency - a genetic lung disorder that could kill him if he doesn't receive a lung transplant and soon.

Jackson is said to be in failing health - he can barely speak and has lost 95% of his vision in his left eye.

OK! reports:

Halperin claims his lung condition has become more acute. The writer added: "He has had Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency 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’s the most problematic part. It could kill him."

What if this is true? What would happen to Michael's three children? Who would raise them? They have a nanny who is like a mother-figure to them - would she care for them if something were to happen to their father?

Michael Jackson Feels "Wise and Sage" But Not Little Boys

Karl Erikson — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 22:03:00 GMT

Yesterday was Michael Jackson's 50th birthday. In an exclusive interview with "Good Morning America," Mikey said that he's having a "wonderful time and relaxing." Probably in a hyberbaric chamber filled with chicken blood or something.

The King of All Things ~~Weird~~ Pop told GMA for his birthday he would "just have a little cake with my children and we'll probably watch some cartoons" before getting right back to work. Yeah, that last album was slamming, wasn't it? When was that again? 1985? Can't wait for the new work.

"I am also raising my children and enjoying it and teaching them to ride bicycles and how to read," he said. Teaching them to read? Um, let's see, Prince Michael is 11, Paris is 10, and Prince Michael II is 6. Dude, if you're kids aren't reading by now, you're an immense failure in the parenting department.

Oh, shut it. Like he was up for any parenting awards? The man dangles children over balconies. He shouldn't have custody of himself, let alone children. If you don't think those kids are going to make an entire squad of therapists very rich some day, you're deluded.

Michael Jackson's Kids Unmasked! Look Normal!

Sassy Smith — Fri, 30 May 2008 12:02:00 GMT

Michael Jackson, one of the most famous entertainers of our time - although not always famous for just his music legacy. We won't get into all of the allegations or court issues of past. What I really want to talk about, is the fact that his children have finally been "unmasked," and quite frankly, they look normal. I'm not sure what I was expecting?

Photo after the jump!

The photograph isn't the best quality but it gives a better peek at his kids than we've ever had, since you know, they've always had to walk around since birth with blankets, masks and sheets covering their faces. I suppose it was his way of protecting his children from the glare of the flashbulbs but what freedom they must feel not to have a mask covering their faces. They can actually see where they're going!

Seriously though, what must it be like to be the kid of Michael Jackson? They wouldn't know any different I suppose, but it's got to be weird. They've never been schooled in a tradtional way, have no friends because of their isolation - well, unless you count the tiger cub they were given to play with, as a friend. And have recently lost the nanny that they called "mom," and who Jackson was reportedly going to marry. Uh huh.

The kids - Prince, Paris and Prince Michael (aka Blanket) - have been to the Berlin Zoo, Disney World and many other places all over the world, covered. However, last week they were photographed in a Las Vegas bookstore, checking out the kids' section sans hoods/masks or sheets obsuring their view and vise versa. Michael was covered with a scarf and hood. Why? Is he still a germaphobe? Or is he embarrassed by his awful plastic surgery? I'll go with the plastic surgery deal.

Either way, Jackson is a ~~total freak~~ bit of an odd duck and hopefully his kids turn out to be adults who can go out into the world and lead a somewhat normal life ~~not a freakin chance~~!

Where's Waldo? Er, Michael Jackson

Here's something I thought I'd never see after hearing the lyrics, "I'm a lover, not a fighter."

Michael Jackson was uh, sorta spotted at the MGM Garden for Saturday nights UFC fight higlighting BJ Penn vs Shaun Sherk. I guess he's a lover and a spectator.

Can you see him? Those telltale glasses from 1984 might be your only tip-off.

His kids were recently unmasked. Hang it up Michael - we don't care what you look like anymore. The only reason people make such a big deal is because you're always hiding. Oh that and the whole you're a white guy without a nose thing too I guess.

No Thriller Here: Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch in Foreclosure

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 00:05:00 GMT

(Warning: Michael Jackson song titles annoyingly worked into every paragraph ahead.)

Michael Jackson's kids, Paris, Prince Michael and Blanket will no longer be able to pet the giraffes in their petting zoo or spend weekends riding on their own carousel. The massive Santa Barbara property is set to be sold at auction on March 19. I'll Be There!

The only way the financially-troubled Jackson can keep the property is to come up with $24,525,906.61 by the auction date. Otherwise, the trustee, Financial Title Company, will tell the King of Pop to Beat It.

Looks like Jackson's kids will have to learn how to play with Legos and Barbies like all the other kids. Bad!

Thriller! Michael Jackson's Kids Finally Unmasked

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 02:50:00 GMT

Hey - they're real! Here's a photo of Michael Jackson's kids, Paris and Prince Michael, where you can see their faces. Usually they're covered with some sort of mask or scarf – those poor kids must think it's freakin' Mardi Gras 24/7.

They're cute kids - he should really let them see the light of day more often. As you can see Michael still feels the need to cover up - he probably didn't have time to put on his nose.
