Michael Jackson has Mad Cow Disease
What many people always thought, was yesterday confirmed by a large team of doctors. According to doctor Thomas H Johnson (head of the team), Michael Jackson suffers from the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), widely known as the Mad Cow Disease. A few weeks ago they came to the conclusion that Jackson appeared to have all the symptoms of this severe disease and the medical team immediately took a blood proof and came to this awful conclusion.
The exact cause of BSE is not known but it is generally accepted by the scientific community that the likely cause of BSE is cannibalism, which resulted in infectious forms of a type of protein, prions, normally found in animals. In cattle with BSE, these abnormal prions initially occur in the small intestines and tonsils, and are found in central nervous tissues, such as the brain and spinal cord, and other tissues of infected animals experiencing later stages of the disease.
Some rumors, which we will not hush up at Crazy News, say that cannibalism is the real cause in this case. According to these rumors Michael Jackson ate the foremost parts of his nose. This would have caused the formation of the malicious prions, and the beginning of the Mad Cow Disease.
There is no need to panic about this severe disease. It is very rare and the FDA and other federal agencies have had preventive measures in place to reduce the U.S. consumer's risk of exposure to any BSE-contaminated meat and food products. However, if you suffer from the combination of the same symptoms as Michael Jackson, you are strongly advised to contact the medical assistance immediately. Here is a list of the major symptoms.
A very sudden change in the color of the skin. Most patients become totally pale.
Making strange movements with legs and hands.
Making weird sounds that look like a mixture of singing and crying.
Waking up next to children you never saw before in your whole life.
Standing in front of a mirror and not being able to conclude if you are a girl or a boy.
Thinking that babies love to fly from balconies.
Parts of the body, like noses, that begin to shrink suddenly.

BET turns it up for Jackson
LOS ANGELES - The BET Awards became the official Michael Jackson TV celebration yesterday, with joyous tributes to the King of Pop from a New Edition medley of Jackson 5 songs to host Jamie Foxx's tender monologue delivered in that classic red leather zipper jacket and white glove.
"No need to be sad. We want to celebrate this black man," said Foxx, who kicked off the show with a reenactment of the choreography from Jackson's iconic "Beat It" video in front of the star-studded crowd, on its feet from the start of the show.
Joe Jackson, the singer's father, was on hand to represent the grief-stricken family. "I just wish he could be here to celebrate himself," he said. "Sadly, he's not here, so I'm here to celebrate for him."
Already an affair of major star-wattage, the night's show at the Shrine Auditorium was thrown under a white-hot spotlight in the wake of Michael Jackson's death Thursday, adding attendees and guests, doubling the number of media requests, adding an extra half-hour to the telecast and even lengthening the red carpet to accommodate all who wanted to take part.
While Jackson's incredible influence stretched across genres, races, and cultures, he had a unique place in the world of black entertainment. His influence is arguably most visible in urban music, seen in stars such as Usher who mimic his dance moves, to Ne-Yo, whose music is marked by its Jackson-isms. But that influence went beyond music: Jackson was black America's biggest star. He broke racial barriers and allowed so many other superstars to follow.
Producers of the annual awards show - which recognizes the best in music, acting, and sports - revamped the show to meet the moment. While Beyoncé and T.I. were the leading award nominees with five apiece, giving out trophies was an afterthought: Honoring Jackson became the show's main focus.
While some performed their own hits, most made sure to incorporate some of the man who influenced them in their performances. A chant of "Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson" was heard while Keri Hilson performed, and Foxx's "Blame It" incorporated some of the Jacksons' dance hit "Blame It On the Boogie."
Throughout the night, Foxx also regularly turned up in some of Jackson's signature looks, like the wide-collar black leather outfit from "Billie Jean."
New Edition, the 1980s teen sensations who were considered that generation's Jackson 5 with their own version of bubble-gum soul, ran through several of the Jackson 5's greatest hits, from "I Want You Back" to "ABC," mirroring their idols right down to the group's original choreography. Ne-Yo sang one of Jackson's most sensual songs, "Lady in my Life."
"He's the man who made it possible for me to be on the stage; I love you and I miss you," he said later.

Michael Jackson's brothers visit Neverland ranch; future of property unclear
LOS ANGELES - Three of the brothers who sang and danced beside Michael Jackson in the Jackson 5 made a private visit to the pop star's Neverland Ranch, where they walked the manicured grounds and reminisced about his life.
Jackie, Jermaine and Tito Jackson were joined for lunch Saturday at the estate by billionaire investor Thomas Barrack, who previously set up a joint venture with Michael Jackson that took control of the ranch after the singer nearly lost it to foreclosure last year.
It's not known what will become of the 1,012-hectare, Santa Barbara County ranch, a major piece of the singer's debt-strapped financial empire. There have been unconfirmed reports that it could become a memorial or museum honouring Jackson's legacy in the mould of Elvis Presley's Graceland.
It's "premature to talk about the future of the property," said Owen Blicksilver, a spokesman for Colony Capital LLC, the Los Angeles-based firm where Barrack is chairman and CEO.
Barrack "feels very close to the family and wants to hear their thoughts about how best to honour Michael's memory," Blicksilver said.
The ranch in the rolling hills of central California wine country was set to be sold in March 2008 because of missed payments on a US$24.5 million loan, but Jackson managed to cut an 11th-hour deal to keep it off the auction block.
He was 29 and at the height of his popularity when he bought the ranch, naming it after the mythical land of Peter Pan, where boys never grow up.
At once a symbol of Jackson's success and excesses, Neverland became the site of a makeshift memorial after his death Thursday.
Scores of fans have streamed past the gated entrance to leave handwritten notes, photographs, balloons and flowers.
The ranch "is always going to be a memorial to Michael," said Gladys Beaty of Sacramento, who travelled to the property Sunday. "It's going to always be treasured."
Jackson fled the ranch - and the country - after his acquittal on charges that he molested a 13-year-old cancer survivor in 2003 at the estate after getting him drunk.
Jackson moved luxury cars, artwork, jewelry, costumes and other property off the ranch last year for an auction that never occurred.
Recently, renovations have been under way, including extensive landscaping.
