Michael Jackson dead at 50 of cardiac arrest

It’s been confirmed that Michael Jackson has passed away at the age of 50.

At approximately 12:21 pm PST this afternoon Los Angeles paramedics responded to a call to his home. It’s been reported that Jackson was not breathing when the paramedics arrived and resuscitation attempts were made as he was transported to UCLA medical center.

The health crisis came as the singer was trying to mount a massive comeback with a series of London concerts after his acquittal on child molestation charges in 2005.

In the last few months there have been reports that Michael Jackson was suffering from skin cancer and a lung disorder however his concert promoter has denied those rumors. Michael had to undergo several medical tests in order to be insured for his upcoming UK concert series and his health, as stated by the concert promoter was good.

Jackson had apparently been preparing for the upcoming concerts by working out so he’d be able to physically withstand the toll the concerts would take on him. He was training with Lou Ferrigno, the star of the TV show The Incredible Hulk. Perhaps his concert preparation weakened his heart. [Read more...]

Bobby Brown recovering from mild heart attack

bobby_brown.jpg Did you hear the news about Bobby Brown? He was hospitalized on Tuesday after having a mild heart attack.

His rep, Phaedra Parks, stated that he’s in great spirits and that he hopes to perform this weekend at the V100 Taste of Soul concert and festival in Los Angeles. Hello … he just had a heart attack. Cancel the gig!

Bobby is only 40 years old! I wonder if all the partying and drugs like coke caught up with him.

On Tuesday afternoon Brown began to feel chest pains and he was rushed to the hospital. By Wednesday morning he apparently “has a great prognosis from his doctors” said his rep. He was even expected to be released later that day.

Brown is still going through divorce and custody proceedings with Whitney Houston, 44. Their next court date is scheduled for October, 22nd.

Generous Britney

Britney Spears was in a charitable mood the other day. She’d just withdrawn a large amount of cash from an ATM this past Wednesday when she was stopped at a busy L.A. intersection. A homeless man approached her vehicle:

“Britney rolled down the window and handed the guy $300,” says the source. “She said, ‘Good luck and happy new year!’ The guy almost had a heart attack.”

Adds the source, “Britney wants to do good — for herself and the world. That’s what she’s all about.”

Is Britney redeeming herself?

It’s certainly nice to see her be so nice to this needy man. That act of generosity probably made his year!
