* JACKSON HOSPITALISED AFTER CARDIAC ARREST - REPORT
MICHAEL JACKSON is reportedly in hospital after suffering a heart attack.
The Thriller superstar's aides frantically called an ambulance to come to Jackson's Holmby Hills mansion in Los Angeles earlier today (25Jun09), according to TMZ.com.
Reports suggest the singer's condition was so bad, medics were forced to administer CPR en-route to a nearby hospital - to keep him alive.
Jackson's worried family members are allegedly rushing to his bedside.
Earlier this month (Jun09), family insider Arthur Phoenix told WENN the superstar was in a bad way and should not be considering a 50-concert run in London, scheduled to start in July (09).
He insisted the concerts would not happen, stating, "Michael is not mentally, physically or spiritually ready for these shows. There's something missing in his soul... It's over! There are family members who feel the same way but they're afraid to speak."
Phoenix fears the pressure of the comeback and the upcoming shows have taken their toll on the 50 year old. (MJ&KL/WNWCZM/KL)

Le combat entre les héritiers de Michael Jackson et HBO n'est pas terminé. Alors que la justice avait décidé d'envoyer l'affaire en arbitrage en septembre dernier, la chaîne a annoncé qu'elle allait faire appel.

Les patrons de HBO ont décidé de faire appel de la décision d'envoyer en arbitrage le litige les opposant aux héritiers de Michael Jackson à propos du documentaire Leaving Neverland. Les gestionnaires du patrimoine du Roi de la Pop essayent en effet de faire interdire le film en invoquant une clause de non-dénigrement datant de 1992, quand la chaîne à péage avait signé un contrat avec l'artiste pour diffuser un de ses concerts.

HBO avait rejeté en bloc les accusations détaillées dans la plainte et avait réussi à l'envoyer devant la cour fédérale, mais un juge a décidé en septembre dernier que l'affaire devait être réglée par arbitrage. C'est de cette décision que la chaîne a fait appel.

Bryan Freedman, avocat du camp Jackson, a immédiatement réagi en affirmant que cet appel était « factice ». « C'est leur dernier espoir, un essai encore plus pathétique que les précédents d'éviter d'être jugés par le public. Notre client ne s'arrêtera jamais avant que justice ne soit faite », a-t-il déclaré.
