MJ Dying AGAIN...

Who could breathe with a nose like that?

Oh, wait. We can ask Janat and Latoya, and Rebbie...


The author of a new biography on Michael Jackson claims the star is fighting for his life due to a rare respiratory condition, but a columnist who covers the singer closely says reports of the alleged illness are "extremely exaggerated."

As previously reported, author Ian Halperin told In Touch magazine and Britain's Sunday Express newspaper that the reclusive performer needs a lung transplant because he's suffering from Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency, an occasionally fatal genetic condition.

"He's had it for years, but it's gotten worse,' Halperin told In Touch. "He needs a lung transplant but may be too weak to go through with it. He also has emphysema and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, which his doctors have had a lot of trouble stopping. It's the bleeding that is the most problematic part. It could kill him.'

Jackson "can barely speak" and "the vision in his left eye is 95 percent gone," Halperin added. The King of Pop's brother Jermaine didn't deny the reports, telling Fox News, "He's not doing so well right now. This isn't a good time."

Correction: NONE of you are doing well right now.

That includes you too, Janet!
