Exclusive: Did Jackson get skin bug from nose job?

By EMILY SMITH
US Editor
Published: Today

MICHAEL JACKSON is suffering from an acute MRSA-type skin infection which threatens to EAT his flesh.

The singer has been receiving antibiotics via a drip in a bid to beat the superbug, which sources say has spread throughout his body.

Jackson, 50, revealed painfully-inflamed skin on his face and hands as he visited a Beverly Hills clinic where he is being treated.

The stricken pop legend may have contracted the infection following plastic surgery on his NOSE, it was feared last night.

The 50-year-old Billie Jean singer is said to have a severe “staph” infection, resistant to conventional antibiotics.

Experts warned it threatened to develop into a terrifying flesh-eating disorder which could kill off areas of the superstar’s skin and leave him in need of major reconstructive surgery.

Jackson has been receiving antibiotics via an IV drip in a bid to beat the condition.

But the skin on his face and hands looked inflamed when he was snapped on his way to a Beverly Hills clinic during another week of intense treatment.

A source revealed last night: “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.”

Swollen

Jackson was seen twice visiting the same clinic within a week.

He emerged with his face covered by dark sunglasses and a surgical mask — and with his hair hidden behind a surgical cap.

The usually-pale skin on his hands and face appeared visibly inflamed with red and purple blotches and he appeared to have a severely swollen cheek.

US celebrity plastic surgeon Dr Anthony Youn, who has not treated Jackson, but has viewed the shocking photos of the star, said: “It is possible that Mr Jackson has a staph infection or MRSA.

“This is called a ‘super-infection’ because it is resistant to conventional antibiotics. It does look like his skin is red and inflamed and has become infected.

“Staph infection or MRSA is extremely worrying because it is an aggressive infection that is resistant to most conventional antibiotics.

“In some worse cases surgeons will have to remove the infected tissue if it dies — leaving the patient needing major reconstructive surgery. It is particularly worrying if it is on the face.”

Dr. Youn, who runs The Hills Plastic Surgery and Laser Centre and is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, said: “Many people in the health-care system can contract this disease via cuts to the skin.

“But it is possible Mr Jackson contracted it through surgery on his nose. There are occasions where patients contract the infection during plastic surgery procedures.

“Doctors try to treat the infection early with antibiotics administered via IV drip — and in many cases the patient can make a good recovery if it is caught early enough.”

Jackson’s increasingly frail appearance has prompted speculation about the state of his health.

Last month Ian Halperin, author of a Jackson biography, claimed the singer was suffering from potentially fatal lung disease. But Jackson’s spokesman dismissed this as a “total fabrication”.

He added: “Mr Jackson is in fine health, and finalising negotiations with a major entertainment company and television network for both a world tour and a series of specials and appearances.”

The spokesman refused to return calls last night.

Jackson has always insisted he suffers from a skin condition called vitiligo, a chronic skin disease which causes loss of pigment.

Despite the dramatic changes to his appearance, he admits only to having two minor cosmetic procedures. He has admitted to minor work on his nose to help him breathe.

Last summer, the star was seen being pushed in a wheelchair as he approached his 50th birthday. The gaunt singer was clad in pyjamas and slippers.

Witnesses described the skin on his hands peeling off — almost like that of a snake.

Dazu folgender Post von TSCM aus dem KOP-Board:

Just wanted to give a heads up that the new tabloid reports circulating about Michael suffering from some "flesh eating virus" as a result of a "nose" operation are yet again coming from the one and only Ian H. Earlier this week he used a post by Perez Hilton (who posted several of the pics of Michael at the dermatologist's last week) to substantiate his own false claims, and then promised that he would "reveal more" this week--and ultimately this is what he came up with...

Also, Ian has claimed recently that he's currently on the road making a film, believed to be one he said he was making about Michael Jackson's "illnesses." Let me emphasize the fact that the "films" he creates are so poor in quality and content that there is not a chance in hell that any television network would pay for the rights to broadcast them. Basically, it is taking a generic home camcorder and then interviewing some random unknowns and casting it off as a documentary. He then tries to sell them independently on Amazon and such, but never would his work air on any reputable network. That mess "What Really Happened" would be considered high quality when compared to his films. He is the lowest and least credible "gossip writer" out there, throwing out laughable and totally unfounded allegations about everyone famous without once offering a trace of proof about anything. He makes Roger Friedman, National Enquirer, and The Sun look like respectable journalists by comparison.

According to Ian Halperin's many claims, Michael Jackson now suffers from the following:

- Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency (a very rare genetic disease only common in Caucasians)
- Chronic gastrointestinal bleeding
- Severe emphysema
- 95% blind in his left eye
- Mute (cannot speak; all recent videos of Michael talking are an illusion)
- "Another" lung disease in addition to the previous one; needs transplant but too weak
- Serious back and leg pain, almost always in bed and unable to get out
- Extreme frailty (95 pounds or less)
- On his final days, preparing his will, and so forth
- Severe MRSA-style staph infection from nose operation (flesh eating disease, requires IV)

-> Da diese News bzw. Gerüchte sicherlich auch bald von weiteren und den deutschen Medien mal wieder übernommen werden, möchte ich hiermit darauf hinweisen diese mit äußester Vorsicht zu genießen.

Ich kann mir gut vorstellen, dass Michael's Team in Form von einem Statement von Dr. Tohme Tohme in den nächsten Tagen auf diese Behauptungen erneut reagieren werden. Schade und unverständlich eigentlich nur, dass man, sofern all diese Geschichten kompett erfunden und erlogen sind, nie gerichtlich gegen so etwas vorgeht.

The claim is that Michael Jackson is being forced to take antibiotics through an IV (intravenous therapy) to fight off this "flesh eating disease", it's when a doctor injects medicines and liquids into your bloodstream through a needle (hooked up to a monitoring system). This story most likely grew legs when Media Takeout posted the 7 year old pictures of Michael Jackson's leg with a deep spider bite while claiming that it was a new picture of his "skin disease." Then the person who keeps spreading all of these nonsensical health rumors took that 'news' and the pics of Michael going to the dermatologist and ran with it.

Please understand that if Michael Jackson were really facing such a serious flesh eating disease (i.e., staph infection) or any of the other deadly claims Ian has made in the past, he would be in the emergency room under 24/7 critical surveillance and monitoring, not walking around posing with Christian Audigier in his mansion or waving to fans out his car window while sporting Ed Hardly gear.

Tabloid...: Ian Halperin Promotes Sensational Book, Lies

Exclusively Written & Compiled For MJJ Repository
TSCM

By now, many have probably read or heard about the recurring media reports spawned by author/journalist Ian Halperin, in which he makes some very serious allegations about the physical health and well-being of Michael Jackson. Although Ian quietly posted these allegations approximately two weeks ago on his own personal site, it only recently garnered widespread media attention after it came to light that he was also penning a book on the singer. Within the past couple of days, Ian's story has become so popular that even Associated Press is now reporting on it. MJJR.net will be glad to spread some light on these falsehoods, but first some background information.

More than two weeks ago, Ian first made these outlandish Jackson-related allegations on his site while plugging In Touch Weekly magazine, in which a lengthier article subsequently appeared. Ian claims that Michael Jackson suffers from Antitrypsin Deficiency (a.k.a. Alpha-1) amongst other illnesses (including that he is "95% blind in his left eye"). Ian quoted an unnamed "close friend" of Michael Jackson as saying that "Michael wants to have the lung transplant but because of other illnesses he's fighting he's too weak to undergo such a major procedure. He's taking one painkiller after another. I've known him over 20 years and have never seen him in such a frail state. It's very sad," amongst other grossly sensational claims.

Today, Ian wrote a second entry about this so-called "exclusive" in which he quoted an unnamed female allegedly from Michael Jackson's camp as saying: "We're deeply worried about Michael's health. It has taken a huge toll on his family and everyone around him." Ian, in an attempt of saving face, also posted a public picture of Michael Jackson taken several days after these claims were first made (where Michael was shopping in Zorro-like attire), while erroneously claiming that he was "being supported by an aide because he was having trouble walking," and adding that according to the unnamed female, "Michael was urged by his people to make a public appearance to let the world know he's still alive." Finally, Ian made a blatantly false claim about an alleged quote by Jermaine Jackson.

Fact: In the picture depicted on Ian's site, the only "support" being given to Michael is that of security as fans gather around him (with one arm of security hastily placed behind Michael at the time the picture was snapped). What Ian didn't post was the half-dozen or so other pictures from that same day in which Michael is freely standing, shopping, greeting fans, accepting gifts, and walking on his own while carrying his own umbrella just as he has throughout the years. Michael Jackson was again photographed in public a couple days ago, and again he was walking on his own with no "support" in sight.

Fact: In Ian's latest blog entry, and in many of the new media reports he has provided information to, he states: "When Fox News contacted the singer's older brother, Jermaine, to confirm my report, he refused to deny it. Instead, Jackson told the reporter, 'he's not doing well right now. This isn't a good time.'" This claim is categorically false on all fronts. First, the alleged quote that he is referencing is actually from JULY 2007 and originates from gossip columnist Roger Friedman--who spread a similar story to Ian's more than a year ago. Thus, Ian is taking an 18-month old, unconfirmed quote from a gossip columnist and using it as new information to somehow substantiate his own claims--this is a testament to Ian's credibility (or lack-thereof).

Ian is no stranger to writing questionable and unsubstantiated material, and has been doing so since the 1980s when he was still a student reporter. In 1984, an athletic director at his college filed a $100,000 libel suit against him and another writer for making multiple allegations of improper conduct within the university's athletic department. Ian was later criminally charged with providing false testimony and lying under oath in the civil case after three different sources denied providing him with any of the information he claimed they had. Ian fled Canada to avoid criminal prosecution and remained in Great Britain for 2.5 years before returning to face the court. In 1990, the judge in the case said he was forced to close it due to a lack of corroborating evidence presented by the prosecution, although Ian did serve time in jail for fleeing the country.

Ian again stirred up controversy in 1994 when he helped co-author a book that alleged Kurt Cobain's death was homicide rather than suicide. The story Ian and his partner told, and the allegations they made changed significantly as their publicity tour continued, and their sources for the allegations were likewise heavily scrutinized by the media at the time. When the book was published years later, both of these authors admitted they weren't able to offer any solid evidence to implicate anyone in the alleged murder of Cobain, despite writing a book full of insinuations.

Likewise, when Ian published a book about singer-songwriter James Taylor in 2000, professional reviewers and others in the press questioned many of the quotes and statements he made throughout the book while also pointing out how he failed to provide sources for most of the far-fetched quotes--and how the book seemed shallow and offered very little new information about Taylor.

As mentioned earlier, in 2007 various tabloid outlets and gossip columnists including Roger Friedman and National Enquirer wrote similar claims about Michael Jackson--that he was severely ill with one or more failing organs and on his final days. In late-2005 into 2006, tabloid reports surfaced that he was in critical condition after a drug overdose and that his family was planning an emergency intervention to save his life. In 2004-2005 there were still other reports of suicide and overdoses; a widespread e-mail chain and virus at the time helped fuel such rumors. In fact, if you dig deep enough you will find similar stories dating back to the 1980s and beyond; none of which hold any more merit than the next. All of these earlier claims were slammed by Michael Jackson's family and representatives, and Michael Jackson's subsequent public appearances seemed to confirm that these "bed-ridden" stories were categorically false.

In this case, we have an author who is trying hard to come up with a sensational new angle for yet another unauthorized Michael Jackson book--as if the market isn't saturated enough as it is. We have an author who was sued for libel (and then for perjury) while still a student for printing information that his own sources refuted under oath. We have an author who enjoys the widespread publicity that comes with writing books about tragic events and major celebrities. Diane Dimond secretly worked on a sensational Michael Jackson book throughout the 2003-2005 trial and was shopping the material to publishers as early as late-2003. A major publisher ultimately released her book in late-2005 alongside a large media tour--and even then it only sold a mere 5,000 copies worldwide after 1-2 months of release. I predict that this book will sell even less than that, despite the heavy media attention Ian is enjoying at this time.

Michael Jackson - 100 neue Songs als Erbe für seine Kids

Seit Monaten warten Fans von Michael Jackson sehnsüchtig auf ein neues Album ihres Stars. Wie der Autor Ian Halperin nun laut „Daily Express“ behauptet, war Jackson in den letzten Monaten in der Tat sehr fleißig und hat mehr als 100 neue Songs aufgenommen.

Allerdings hat Jackson nicht vor, die Lieder in nächster Zeit zu veröffentlichen. Die Songs sind sozusagen sein Vermächtnis an seine drei Kinder Price (11), Paris Katherine (10) und Prince Michael II. Das Material soll nach dem Willen des ehemaligen King of Pop erst nach seinem Tod an die Öffentlichkeit gelangen.

Halperin, der sich als Friseur ausgegeben hatte, um in die Nähe des Stars zu kommen, behauptet weiterhin, dass Jackson in Verhandlungen mit der Londoner O2-Arena stehe. Geplant sei, dass der 50jährige im Sommer 30 Konzerte in der Halle spielen und dafür 50 Millionen Pfund bekommen soll.

Michael Jackson - 100 neue Songs als Erbe für seine Kids

MICHAEL Jackson has secretly recorded more than 100 songs to be released only after his death. The songs will be left to his three children, Prince, 11, Paris Katherine, 10, and five-year-old Prince Michael II, who is known as Blanket.

Auch Folgendes stammt von Halperin:

Halperin, who pretended to be a hairdresser to get close to Jackson, said of the singer: “He spoke clearly and rationally but he looked weak. He seemed emotionally fragile and very suspicious of anyone he didn’t know.”

Jackson seems determined to get back on the stage, largely because his debts run into tens of millions.

-> Erstens wäre es ziemlich hinterlistig, wenn es stimmt, dass sich Halperin versucht hat in die Nähe von Michael Jackson zu schleichen und zweitens bezweifle ich das doch stark.

-> Ich finde es schon auch dehr verdächtig, dass Halperin, der noch vor kürzester Zeit davon geschrieben hat, dass Michael Jackson todkrank ist und nur im Bett liegt, jetzt davon spricht, dass er hunderte von Songs aufgenommen hat und an kommende mögliche Auftritte denkt. Schon sehr merkwürdig und wiedersprüchlich der Typ.

Michael Jackson planning more surgery

1 hour 9 mins ago

Michael Jackson wants to change his face before his UK residency begins.

The 'Thriller' singer - who will perform 50 shows at The O2 arena, in London, starting in July - is reportedly planning to have plastic surgery to ensure he looks his best on stage.

Jackson's unofficial biographer Ian Halperin is quoted by Britain's The Sun newspaper as saying: "Michael has consulted some of the world's best cosmetologists and surgeons in preparation for this comeback."

Halperin claims the singer - who is said to have had more than 50 cosmetic procedures - wants to repair the damage done by previous surgeries.

He is reportedly particularly concerned with fixing his crumbling nose, which the singer claims he has had just two operations on to improve his voice.

Jackson's representatives have denied the 50-year-old singer is planning further cosmetic procedures.

Tickets to Jackson's 'This Is It' tour - billed his last ever UK performances - sold out in less than five hours last week.

Nearly one million tickets, worth between £50 and £75, were sold at a rate of 333-a-minute.

Thousands of fans missed out on tickets, which are already selling on the black market for up to £16,000 for a pair of front row seats.

Jackson - who has returned to the US for rehearsals - is reportedly "ecstatic" about the sales figures and very "excited" about performing his greatest hits.

According to a leaked set list, the pop superstar will treat fans to renditions of a host of classic tracks including 'Billie Jean', 'Man in the Mirror' and 'Thriller'.

Billionaire blasts Jackson private party rumours

36 mins ago
WENN Print Story

Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska has slammed reports pop superstar Michael Jackson is set to perform at a private party for the businessman, branding the rumours "sheer fantasy".

The Thriller hitmaker was alleged to have negotiated a £2 million paycheque in exchange for an appearance at Deripaska's glitzy bash in April.

But representatives for the Russian tycoon have blasted the claims, made by Jackson biographer Ian Halperin earlier this month.

The former journalist further alleged Jackson had demanded a team of nine doctors be on-hand throughout the performance - but all claims have been dismissed by a spokesman for Deripaska's office, who tells WENN the reports are "completely untrue and sheer fantasy".

His representative Sergey Babichenko adds, "A number of Russian and international media recently has published rumours about Michael Jackson's alleged forthcoming performance at Oleg Deripaska's party. This expressly false information has nothing to do with reality."
