I'm saying 'faking it'. I don't know many people who would go to hospital because of flu (however severe that may be).

I think he's faking, but I voted sick in mind.  I find it hard to hate Michael Jackson because he hardly counts as human  ;D.  He is a freak though and I wish this trial would just start!

You know what strikes me?  I've known TONS of people who have gotten the flu (even had some pretty severe cases myself) and only ONE has gone to the hospital because of it...and she only did because she was pregnant and wasn't sure if the cramps she was having were from the flu or premature labor.  Why is it that most celebrities end up in the hospital when they're sick?


Because they are big babies.

The stress of the trial is probably playing on his health. As stress sometimes does on all of us.

Is he faking? I don't know, but a week? The last time I had the flu I was only sick for a day.

Because Celebrities can boast their rights to use and abuse Hospitals, (in which they would quarantine a section off for them.  Of course Meaning calling the attention of important doctors and taking up valuable space for people who definitely could use it.
This is Definitely not true for all celebrities,  but they have that privelidge, which is unfair.

And I think Michael JAckson probably is sick,  but i think he is very mentally unstable, and to some certain respect this case should be administered as a lower priority, instead of making a spectacle.  I mean if he did it or if he didn't do it.  What kind of "current , groundbreaking info is good enough"  That's the tidbits that make a juicy story for the news.  Biases really should be held until further investigations.

He's probably sick because all that plastic surgery has reduced his nostrils to the size of pinholes. He doesn't need to see a doctor...instead he ought to have a Roto-Rooter man come over and bore his nostrils out so he can breathe again. ;D ;D ;D

Flu can be bad enough to hospitalise people, but if Jackson's case was as bad as that, hospital all over California would be full of cases. I think he's finally starting to feel the stress of his house-of-cards fantasy world crashing down around him, and that's what's doing him in. That said, famous people always seem to get sick when they have to face court. There was a well-known stockbroker here in Australia recently who tried to get out of his prison sentence because he was too sick. Isn't Saddam Hussein claiming to be too sick to stand trial now? My heart bleeds for you.

I think he's really sick.  He's not the most hale character and he's been under heck of a lot of stress.  Tens of thousands of people DIE of the flu annually.  Most people in America don't go to the hospital unless it gets really severe, because you have to be as rich as Michael Jackson to pay the bills!
::)
Seriously, Jacko is probably whacked on on god-knows what kind of medication regimen, and may not have realized he was sick until he was at the point of collapse.

Well I agree with the possibility that the stress could be making him have symptoms but I'm not 100% convinced it's real.
I guess the fact he is in the middle of a court case means he can't really not go to hospital, it has to look dramatic, though I think some celebs would go in for a broken nail given the chance !

As to the 'flu thing I feel I must get on my lecturing high horse here.The influenza is a very serious illness, lots of people die from it.Most humans will only catch it once or maybe twice in their lifetime.We have a habit of calling bad colds the 'flu which they are not.Once you have had the real thing believe me you will know the difference.

Yep, "flu" is one of those words that's thrown about whenever someone comes down with a bad cold, but it's not the same. It's not just the sniffles. About 36,000 people die from flu every year in the US alone and more than 100,000 catch it. It's a pretty debilitating sickness, and for someone like Michael Jackson it would hit him pretty hard. It's easy to be cynical when he happens to come down with it right now, however.

Because they can afford it.  They don't have to decide  hmmmm do I go to the doctor or make my house payment.  Last time I went to the doctor, I was having a baby.  She's 16 now by the way.

Why can't he just do his trial and get what he deserves (IF he's guilty I say TWENTY-FIVE YEARS of prison AT THE VERY LEAST)?????????  I'd gain some respect for him if he just ended this s*it.  >:(  Also why the h*ll should I care about his trial more than any other sex crime trial?

If he shows no remorse then I won't care if he gets DEATH PENALTY, although I know he won't.
That is if he's found to be socio and not psycho (which are both diseases, but imo psycho lets you off the hook and socio doesn't).

Me, I don't like MJ, but I don't think he's so much a jerk as he is a freak.  Then again, it's easy to be both considering they come from the same source often.

The truth often freaks alot of people out. i urge everyone to read the transcripts of the accuser's testimony. It's very interesting, expecially when the boy says one thing, and then says the complete opposite! If you read between the line, the boy actually admitted Michael never touched him.
Sneddon asked the boy, "When you stayed in Michaell's room, did he ever touch you?"
The boy replied, "No!"
Sneddon asked, "What about when he molested you?"
The boy replied, "Oh yeah!!"
You really have to wonder if Sneddon and the accuser's want us to take these charges seriously?

I'd like to wager, at this point, that in some way Jacko will be found medically unfit to stand trial. He's gotta weasel out of it, he wouldn't survive prison~ on the other hand, if he were to be comitted to a mental hospital, well.... the phrase "and they all lived happily ever after!" springs to mind!

Wow, if this practise is widespread, someone should open a shop- a sort of 'Scrotes of the Stars' mini-mart or something. Or you could sell off old bits stars have had removed during plastic surgery- that being said, MJ could probably fill his own emporium with that sort of thing... ;D

Sorry, I'm not trying to deliberately upset any MJ fans. I'm the sort who, if I see an opportunity for a bit of a joke, will make that joke, even if I don't agree with the reasoning behind it. MJ has done his best to turn himself into some sort of circus sideshow, surely his fans aren't so blind as to not realise this sort of behaviour puts him right in the firing line when it comes to mockery...

It cracks me up when people try to justify being sick by vomiting....trust me, there are MANY ways to make yourself puke.  If it was truly the stomach flu (as he claims), those things usually only run 24-48 hours....therefore, if he was sick "over the weekend" it would have run it's course before mid-week ::)

NO! You are wrong! The hospital thought, "WOW! It's Michael JACKSON! We better give him a big room!" So they put him in a big room and moved the sick woman who was in there, out. It's wasn't Michael's fault.

He dangled an infant over a railing
That was 3 years ago, get over it. Michael was holding the baby tight, he wasn't going to let it go! The fans were screaming that they wanted to see the baby, so Michael showed them the baby.

he screwed (pardon the pun) Paul McCartney and The Beatles
Mikey would've given the catalogue back to McCartney, if McCartney wasn't such a JERK!
Michael also owned Little Richard's catalogue at one stage, but gave it back to him as a GIFT. Little Richard didn't have to pay for it. Michael gave it to him! There are tonnes of artists who he has done the same too.
If McCartney wasn't such a jerk about it, Michael probably would've given the songs back by now.

....and he looks and acts like a freak
So healing the world, donating money to charity, making great music, making people happy is acting like a freak???
He got like 2 nose jobs! If it wasn't for the vitiligo, he'd still look the same.
This is a pic from the Thriller era, with Michael's face from now put onto it. As you can see, he looks exactly the same as he did back in 1984, just older.

Get over it dude! Also keep in mind he isn't in total control of the songs. the Beatles catalogue is a part of Sony ATV which is only co-owned by Michael. There are other people who own it too.
The Beatles are lame. All their tunes are so simple and lack originatity. It wasn't until Sgt. Pepper's and Abbey Road that they started being creative, but by then their career's were nearly over. They were at the end of their time.

Get over it dude! Also keep in mind he isn't in total control of the songs. the Beatles catalogue is a part of Sony ATV which is only co-owned by Michael. There are other people who own it too.
The Beatles are lame. All their tunes are so simple and lack originatity. It wasn't until Sgt. Pepper's and Abbey Road that they started being creative, but by then their career's were nearly over. They were at the end of their time.
Beatles....lame, thanks, won't waste my time with this garbage anymore. I can at least admit that Thriller and Off The Wall are decent LP's.

How can anybody seriously still like MJ as a person????  I respect him as a being but but I'd never have a beer with him!

Yeah, and I admitted that Sgt. Pepper's and Abbey Road were great LP's! It's their early music which I don't like. But Sgt. Pepper's and Abbey Road were brilliant! I take my hat off to the Beatles (Lennon particulary) for the creation of these 2 fine LPs.

I think we'll have to agree to disagree.
I like Michael Jackson, dont particulary like The Beatles, but respect that they were brilliant.

Correct me if I am wrong - I thought that when the Beatles music rights were up for bid - both Michael and Paul were bidding on them at the same time.  Therefore, if Michael was such a friend of Paul's why did he bid against him???? >:(  So he could pay more - then down the line give him the gift - I doubt it.
