Jacko in hospital dash



AILING Michael Jackson was last night in hospital for the second time in 48 hours.

The singer was whisked to an emergency room with back trouble.

The problem has plagued him throughout his child abuse trial. It flared up again as the jury was deciding his fate.

His spokesman Raymone Bain said: “It’s pretty serious. He’s under a tremendous amount of stress right now.” Jacko, who last week appeared gaunt and fragile, was also taken to hospital near his Neverland ranch on Friday night after feeling weak.

Medics gave him fluid via a drip — believed to be made up of glucose and water. It is thought he was suffering from dehydration.

That day he had to be helped out of court in Santa Maria, California, by his mother. Jackson, 46, was first troubled by his back in early March. The judge ordered him to court in his pyjamas.

He missed another day of his trial because of flu.

His weight has plummeted to 7st 8lbs. Worried relatives say he has hardly eaten or slept during the case.

Jackson denies molesting a cancer victim when he was 13.

hey, that's a point. if he is innocent why didn't he have more girls stay over, why were they all boys? not that he should have had any minor stay with him (can't quite imagine him in bed with Arthur Scargill, mind ), but does seem odd he didn't sleep with girls if he's trying to make out that it was all innocent. yeah, right, innocent my ar$e.

* gets on phone to jury - "send him down!" *

my feeling is he'll be let off, but I think he's as guilty as the man behind the grassy knoll.

and that must be the first bulletin board post ever in the world where Michael Jackson and Arthur Scargill have been mentioned in the same breath

gigwise

Well, life behind bars for Jacko might not be soooo bad, as he'd still be able to wear his lippy. Thank goodness!

But bad news for the Barnet, that long hair's simply got to go. NOBODY wears their hair like that in California jailhouses any more...Get with it, purleeease!

A nice spokeslady says, "We do have male inmates who are transvestites — not that Mr. Jackson is a transvestite — and they are allowed to wear a certain amount of makeup as well. Men who choose to do it can do it."

But it's not all good news for the 46-year-old pop loon: "You cannot have any sort of cosmetic surgery while incarcerated," she adds. Damn.

The (alleged) pop kiddie-fiddler may be sharing his blusher with some very interesting types, according to MTV News, especially as, if convicted, he is likely to be housed in the Protective Housing Unit (PHU) at Corcoran State Prison which presently holds murderous maniac Charles Manson and Robert Kennedy's assassin, Sirhan Sirhan.

I think we're going to need extra moisturiser for that lot, they've been rotting in there for years...Pass the cover-up! You could carry your shopping in those under-eye bags, Manson!

ALERT OVER JACKSON COLLAPSE AT VERDICT


AN AMBULANCE is on alert for when the jury returns to deliver its verdict on Michael Jackson.

Court officials and the singer's family are worried about the singer's increasingly frail health.

And there are fears the strain could mean he needs carrying out of court - whether or not he is found guilty of child molestation charges.

Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Lt Tom McKinny confirmed: "Yes, there will be an ambulance on hand - just in case."



Meanwhile, Jackson, 46, has permission to wait at his Neverland ranch home 40 minutes from the Santa Maria court in California, where the jury began its second full day of deliberations yesterday.

The singer has checked into hospital twice in the past week and has been given painkilling injections for a back problem.

Even if acquitted, Jackson has more trouble ahead with the forthcoming publication of his former public relations man's memoirs.

Bob Jones - bitter at his sacking last year after 30 years at his side - will claim in Michael Jackson: The Man Behind the Mask that the star had radar-like powers to identify vulnerable young boys.

He writes: "Michael had a sinister gift for identifying these boys; it was as if he had some sort of radar. I was amazed by how he could determine which of the many children he came into contact with might be 'woo-able', whose parents could be bought off."

He claims Jackson smuggled one of his boy escorts - thought to be Brett Barnes, who slept in the singer's bed many times when he was aged 10 - past the press by hiding him under his luggage.

Jones testified in the trial but did not give any of his book away. Mirror

Jackson could start a new career in PR when this is all over. He is an expert at spinning a stories and setting up publicity stunts.




Jacko in ban on pals' talks



MICHAEL Jackson last night banned the Rev Jesse Jackson or any other supporter from speaking for him in public.

In the past few days Rev Jackson and Jacko’s spokesman Raymone Bain have appeared at Santa Maria court in California to talk about the singer.

Jacko’s lawyer Thomas Mesereau is furious that they have spoken out while the jury is considering its verdicts over child abuse allegations.

A statement on behalf of the Jackson family said yesterday: “The efforts of friends and supporters are noticed and very much appreciated.

“However, only Michael Jackson’s attorneys have been authorised to speak on his behalf.”

BBC Radio 2 bosses have vowed to ban Jacko’s records if he is convicted of abusing a 13-year-old boy.

An email sent to top DJs such as Terry Wogan and Jonathan Ross said the station has a “duty” to take Jacko off air.

It said: “There will be an immediate backlash so it would be best to rest the tracks.”

The memo also said that if Jacko, 46, is convicted only of supplying alcohol to a minor there is no reason to ban him. The star denies all charges. Sun

Jackson jury to enter fifth day

Raymone Bain, Michael Jackson's spokeswoman, talks to the media
The 12 jurors in Michael Jackson's child abuse trial are to deliberate for a fifth day on Friday as they try to reach a verdict in the case.

They were in discussion for less than four hours on Thursday as some jury members had family commitments.

Mr Jackson, 46, faces 10 charges, including allegedly molesting a 13-year-old boy two years ago.

The singer, who denies all the charges, faces up to 20 years in jail if convicted on all counts.

Other charges include giving the boy alcohol and conspiracy to kidnap him and his family.

Fans have been protesting the singer's innocence outside court
He returned briefly to hospital on Wednesday for a scheduled follow-up to resolve back pain which his spokeswoman said was made worse by stress.

Speculation is also mounting about the state of Michael Jackson's finances.

On Thursday, BBC Radio 4's Today estimated his debt to be as high as $339m (£185m).

According to testimony during his trial, Mr Jackson spends up to $30m (£16.4m) a year more than he earns.

But he has prize assets - chiefly a 50% stake in music publisher Sony/ATV, which owns the rights to 200,000 songs including the Beatles back catalogue.

According to Brett Pulley, senior editor of Forbes magazine, the library generates up to $70m a year (£38.3m) - sufficient to pay the interest on his loan.

"He is a business in decline, but a business nonetheless," he told Today.

Mr Jackson's loan is managed by Fortress Investments, a private hedge fund specialising in "distressed debt".

AN EMAIL which claims Michael Jackson has killed himself is tricking Internet users into downloading a computer virus - disguised as his "suicide note".

Experts at virus busters SophosLabs say those sending the infected messages are preying on the intense interest in the controversial popstar's trial in a bid to cause harm.

The spam emails arrive with the subject: 'Re: Suicidal aattempt' and a message which starts: 'Last night, while in his Neverland Ranch, Michael Jackson has made a suicidal attempt."

It then tells users to click a link in the email to read the star's final note but this really logs onto a website infected with a Trojan horse that can spy on someone's computer habits and steal information such as passwords.

Carole Theriault, security consultant for Sophos, said: "If you click on the link, the website displays a message saying it is too busy, which may not surprise people who think it might contain genuine breaking news about Michael Jackson.

"However, this is a diversionary tactic - because behind-the-scenes the website is downloading malware onto the user's computer without their knowledge."

This is not the first time the troubled pop star has been exploited by virus writers and hackers attempting to cause mayhem.

In October 2004, messages were posted on the Internet claiming that incriminating home videos belonging to Jackson had been discovered - but clicking on the link infected web surfers with another Trojan horse.

"The sick minds behind viruses and other malware often exploit celebrity names and news stories in an attempt to infect as many people as possible," Ms Theriault added.

"All computer users should be very careful about clicking on weblinks in unsolicited email or launching unknown attachments." Sun

POLICE in Santa Maria, California, are preparing for a fan riot if Michael Jackson is found guilty in his child molestation trial.

Riot police, mounted police and dog squads are all on standby for a violent reaction if Jackson is convicted.
A rapid deployment plan has been prepared by Santa Barbara sheriffs following an increase in tension outside the court as fans await a verdict.

Police recently seized piles of rocks from fans, issued a restraining order against a rabid Jackson supporter and intervened in a skirmish between fans and members of the 3000 strong media contingent.

Under the plan, up to 700 police will be available to quell crowd violence, including riot police armed with batons and shields.

"We are prepared for it," Erik Raney, of the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Office, said yesterday.

"There's going to be a degree of commotion and our goal is to maintain the peace and defuse any situation as swiftly as possible.

"We've got people that can respond in minutes - we've got the whole department at our disposal."

Riot squads, dog squads and mounted officers will be hidden from crowds when the verdict is announced and only deployed if violence erupts.

"We are not going to incite people with our riot shields," Sgt Raney said.

The police preparations follow the seizure this week of piles of rocks from fans massed outside the court.

"We didn't know if they were being stockpiled as weapons but we had them removed," Sgt Raney said.

"I hope it's not a sign of what's to come."

Tension has been growing outside the court as up to 200 hard-core fans wait for a verdict and yesterday one aggressive supporter was issued with a restraining order after several weeks abusing a reporter from Court TV.

The fan, known only as BJ, has been heckling television journalist Diane Dimond for weeks, screaming obscenities and trying to interrupt her broadcasts.

Increased tensions outside the court have also prompted Michael Jackson's spokeswoman Raymone Bain to plead for calm.

"It is not a circus, it is not a game, it is not a concert here," Ms Bain said.

"A man's life is in the balance here."

As he awaits the verdict, Jackson has spent the week at his Neverland Ranch and travelling to a nearby hospital for treatment on his bad back.

Jury have reached a verdict!
Jackson is on the way to the court house to hear the verdict.

oh my god, its like O.J all over again.
What will happen, oh my !
In just 30mins or so....we'll all know.

Calrissian: the long haul of a marathon case is finally over.

If found guilty he could face up to 20 years in jail. I actually feel a bit sorry for him if he's found guilty and has to spend that long put away. People have committed worse crimes such as rape and get far less. It's not looking good for him but if he is guilty in the grand scale of crime it doesn't look as bad as the publicity suggests.
