It seems that every few weeks a new tabloid-driven report surfaces alleging that Michael Jackson has contracted a new and potentially fatal disease. Over the past six months, the majority of such reports have originated from gossipmonger Ian Halperin, who plans to release at least two salacious books and one film on Michael Jackson over the next two months to best capitalize off of Michael Jackson's sold-out O2 shows. Ian, you may recall, is the person who started the widespread rumors that Michael Jackson was suffering from a whole slew of rare and deadly diseases including Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, severe emphysema, blindness in one eye, muteness, lung and liver diseases, severe back and leg pain, bedridden and on his final days. It was also alleged that Michael Jackson is suffering from a severe MRSA-style staph infection (flesh eating virus) and extreme frailty, amongst other fabricated conditions. Most recently, tabloid reports surfaced proclaiming that Michael Jackson was battling skin cancer; the reports quoted anonymous sources and the unnamed spokesperson of a fictitious publicist as confirmation.
Michael Jackson's official spokesperson, Dr. Tohme Tohme, has issued a statement to deny the latest batch of health rumors, telling the media: "[The skin cancer rumors are] not true...Michael Jackson is in the best of health...He is great... in perfect health...he doesn't have any diseases whatsoever."
