Michael Jackson — Cardiac Arrest ?

18 days before his concert re-birth in London and Michael Jackson is reported by TMZ to be in bad shape. Is it for real or is it a Jackson panic at the pending concert dates?

Cardiac Arrest?

We’ve just learned Michael Jackson was taken by ambulance to a hospital in Los Angeles … and we’re told it was cardiac arrest and that paramedics administered CPR in the ambulance.

UPDATE: A Jackson family member tells TMZ Michael is in “really bad shape” and the brothers are headed to UCLA.  via Michael Jackson — Cardiac Arrest | TMZ.com.

    Diane,

    I figured I’d use this space to write something I forgot about when I heard Michael had died. I wasn’t shocked at all. It was not even remotely surprising.

    When Princess Di died, that was shocking. Even Farrah dying earlier that day was more shocking than Michael Jackson dying. I guess maybe we all expected it? Maybe not that particular day, but we knew it was coming.

    About Me

    I’m a been-there-done-that reporter who has worked in all the media’s mediums: Radio, T.V., I wrote a book about what I learned covering the Michael Jackson child sex abuse saga and I’m currently writing a nationally syndicated newspaper column.

    I have a freakish attachment to all things having to do with crime and justice, although I’ve covered all sorts of stories, including national politics in Washington – which I guess some might say is akin to covering crime. You'll see here I often mix the two.

    Its human behavior that fascinates me most – why do we do the things we do to each other?

    You’ve seen or heard my work on NPR, WCBS-TV, NBC, FOX, Court TV and on syndicated televisions programs like Hard Copy. See my full bio here: http://dianedimond.net/about/
