We've just learned Michael Jackson was taken by ambulance to a hospital in Los Angeles ... and we're told it was cardiac arrest and that paramedics administered CPR in the ambulance.

He was picked up at his home around 20 minutes ago -- we're told his mother is on the way to visit him.

UPDATE: The 911 call came in at 12:21PM at his Holmby Hills home in L.A.

UPDATE: A Jackson family member tells TMZ Michael is in "really bad shape" and the brothers are headed to UCLA.

UPDATE: We just got off the phone with Joe Jackson, Michael's dad, who says "he is not doing well."

Cancelled? This guy will never sing or dance again from this, if true.

[Princess]

Hope everything is going to be alright for him.

[Mrluvaluva]

Apparently he wasn't breathing when the paramedics arrived.

[Blink_Me]

Well... it's been confirmed. This guy will never perform again if he pulls through. I'm so sad about this. :(

News just in. Michael Jackson has died. :sad:

Michael Jackson has died in hospital at the age of 50, according to reports in the US.

The singer was rushed to UCLA Medical Centre earlier tonight after suffering a heart attack.

According to KTLA.com, Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived at his home, while attempts to resuscitate him were "completely unresponsive".

The 50-year-old star was expected to begin a series of comeback shows at London's O2 arena from July 13. Concert organisers AEG are yet to comment.

Jackson has three children Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince Michael Jackson II.

[LisaHawk]

Last I heard his Dad had told reporters that "He's not doing well."

[Mrluvaluva]

[Updated at 3:15 p.m.: Pop star Michael Jackson was pronounced dead by doctors this afternoon after arriving at a hospital in a deep coma, city and law enforcement sources told The Times.

[Updated at 2:46 p.m.: Jackson is in a coma and family have are arriving at his bedside, a law enforcement source told The Times.

Jackson was rushed to a hospital this afternoon by Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics.

Capt. Steve Ruda said paramedics responded to a call at Jackson's home around 12:26 p.m. He was not breathing when they arrived. The parademics performed CPR and took him to UCLA Medical Center, Ruda told The Times.

[Updated at 2:12 p.m.: Paramedics were called to a home on the 100 block of Carolwood Drive off Sunset Boulevard. Jackson rented the Bel Air home for $100,000 a month. It was described as a French chateau estate built in 2002 with seven bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, 12 fireplaces and a theater.

The home is about 2 1/2 miles, about a six-minute drive, from UCLA Medical Center. An earlier version of this post incorrectly described the time to travel between the home and hospital as two minutes.]

The news comes as Jackson, 50, was attempting a comeback after years of tabloid headlines, most notably his trial and acquittal on child molestation charges.

In May, The Times reported that Jackson had rented the Bel Air residence and was rehearsing for a series of 50 sold-out shows in London's O2 Arena. Jackson had won the backing of two billionaires to get the so-called "King of Pop" back on stage.

His backers envision the shows at AEG's O2 as an audition for a career rebirth that could ultimately encompass a three-year world tour, a new album, movies, a Graceland-like museum, musical revues in Las Vegas and Macau, and even a "Thriller" casino. Such a rebound could wipe out Jackson's massive debt.

He's been a very influential person for many people. He's a music legend.

Oh this is ridiculous. Why a press conference, what more is there to know?
He's been a very influential person for many people. He's a music legend.

News have always covered big stories like this in the past, such as the death of Elvis and assasination of Lennon.

Its funny how the rose tinted glasses come out when someone has died. He has been nothing and nowhere these last 10 years, quite a laughing stock too and not to mention the trial ... at least Elvis and Lennon died with a good reputation in tact.

Music legend? Probably. Good person? No. Deserving of all this attention? No.

What has being a good person or not got to do with it?

Okay, he has hardly done anything in the last 10 years.

But he was in the media spotlight more this year due to his tour. And he was a music giant. A great. The one musician to have sold the most number of records in our generation. An inspiration to many, with fans going into millions.

No one is saying he is a saint. No one is saying his reputation is in tact.

But he has unfortunately passed away, and many people will mourn, and it will be the talking point of the world for the next few days, and therefore the media are covering it so extensively everywhere around the world.

I suppose its your prerogative if you find the death of a paedophile sad. A lot of media attention lately has come about through how ridiculous and how much of a fruitcake he is e.g. dangling his baby over a balcony and walking about with a swine flu mask on.
