OMG. Get well soon. You are Getting so good looking, and you are very cool. ( He's a Virgo)
Can't wait to see the new Harry Potter movie with my son. Get some rest and drink lots of orange juice and take your vitamin C. Take walks.

Based on the picture, he appears to be using the chicken soup and cannabis cure.

This young man is adorable and strongly resembles a young Tony Hicks of The Hollies.

What is hard to believe is that celebritie­s esp in Hollywood haven't stepped up to the plate to cover the expenses that the MJ Memorial will cost the city of LA. Where are all the well paid Movie stars, music, politician­s ect... in California­. What about your fans ? It will bring nothing but goodwill to step-up and donate to cover the cost involved. Contact the news outlets. They will publish your name and probably your up and coming projects. 1.4 million fans willing to spend hard earned money to attend the service. How symbolic to the Jackson family and fans, when our economy is in the tank. This is your industry, you all love MJ as much as the every day people, you are in a position to make a difference­.

What are you rambling on about?

How's this for a nice piece of charity: well paid people give more to charities that do good work for people who actually need the help. Not to a damned Michael Jackson funeral.

Give it a break.

I'm confused ..how can he be allowed to show up at movie premiere and he is recovering from the swine flu...isn'­t that a bit risky. Why risk other people getting it...somet­imes flu virus spreads even though a person may on the surface look okay.

Like other flu viruses, it's probably contagious during the early stages.

[misanthropexlife]

Another article said he was no longer contagious­.
