I have no idea how or why this occurred, but The Sun is running a story today reporting that Michael Jackson phoned Jade Goody at the weekend.

Michael was in London at the time promoting his upcoming summer gigs and is said to have called Jade to hospital to offer her support and well wishes.

A pal told the newspaper: “He learned of Jade’s suffering and wanted to lend his support and comfort her at this awful time. When she was told Michael was on the phone her eyes lit up and she mustered all the strength she could to have a chat.”

When Jade was too tired to talk any longer, Michael was passed onto her husband Jack Tweed.

The friend said: “He was wishing them both the best and asked if there was anything he could do for them or the family.

“Jade and Jack were touched.”

He added: “It gave her a real boost and hope that she’ll be alive to watch him perform in the summer.”

Does anyone else find this story just a little bit weird?
