Michael Jackson -- Alpha Male?

Michael may be in desperate need of a lung transplant, according to Ian Halperin, author of a new M.J. bio.

Halperin claims Jacko suffers from a rare genetic disorder known as Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, which has led to emphysema and gastrointestinal bleeding.

Halperin told In Touch Michael can barely speak and is nearly blind in his left eye.

We called MJ's reps -- nothing.

61. LOS ANGELES, Dec 22, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Michael Jackson's official and sole spokesperson, Dr. Tohme. Tohme, in response to recent rumors regarding Michael's alleged medical condition, has issued the following statement:

"Concerning this author's allegations, we would hope in the future that legitimate media will not continue to be exploited by such an obvious attempt to promote this unauthorized 'biography.'

The writer's wild allegations concerning Mr. Jackson's health are a total fabrication. Mr. Jackson is in fine health, and finalizing negotiations with a major entertainment company & television network for both a world tour and a series of specials and appearances." (YAY!!!! haha)

64. Like the word of G-d says, he who has no sin let him cast the first stone. No one really knows what happen between those kids and Michael, except G-d, those kids and Michael himself. G-d is the only one who has a right to judge we don't. Michal may Yashua (jesus) richly bless you and reveal himself to you in a big way and heal every hurt and infirmity because he alone can do it, and don't you forget it!!! All my love, Donzia

65. It's really sad to see how people can be so cruel... And for all those who have wished ill will on this man, be prepared for your own HA, HAs, dead yets, and Karmic reality... Know one knows the truth expect God, Michael and those individuals involved. Just spewing such horrible words will at some point come back and haunt you. But we all know that those who spew such nastiness are individuals who are usually sick and messed up people anyway, so it's to be expected...

66. I have this disease. I was diagnosed almost 2 years ago. I am also lung effected. It's a horrible disease. But it isn't always a death sentence. Especially if your liver is in good shape. Which mine is ... so far. My lungs -- now that another story. My brother has it too. This is genetic and you are born with it!
I hate what I've been reading about on the internet! A1AD is NOT rare. It's just rarely diagnosed correctly!!!!!
Only about 6 to 10 precent of the population are being diagnosed correctly to having it! And true -- it is mainly a white people's disease -- but, ANYONE can be born with it!
I've been waiting for a celebrity to be diagnosed with it -- to help bring awareness to it -- but I never in a million years dreamed it would be MJ! Who would have guessed? Not me! lol

68. I know Michael Jackson isn't a child molester. I'm not a fan of his but it's no evidence saying he did it. If he touched my child not only would I have sued him for money but would've put criminal charges on him, or personally killed his a**. He didn't do for that reason. So look into stuff before you judge people. R Kelly do mess with little girls. I saw the video.

70. Michael Jackson didn't molest those little boys. He would be dead if he did. I'm going to pray and hope he does ok.
