The sad terminal cancer of Britain’s reality star Jade Goody has taken a bizarre turn in the past few days. As coverage of her illness has spread across the world, hospitalized Jade has been reached out to by some pretty unlikely “friends.” First, Amy Winehouse apparently updated her Facebook status to shout out to the recently-married Jade, writing, “Mrs Tweed I’m Âtrying to get ya. Anyone got a number. Mrs Civil xx.” (And don’t think we didn’t notice Amy still wants to be married to Blake Incarcerated in that missive)
Even weirder is Michael Jackson’s slightly creepy attempts to make contact with Jade, as revealed by her publicist Max Clifford. “Michael Jackson phoned her over the weekend but couldn’t get through. He wanted to pop in and see her but instead sent her his love and said he was thinking about her,” he said. Brrr. We think poor Jade is probably better off for not having to encounter Jacko in her last days, as he piously tries to show how empathetic and kind and understanding he is. Would he have bothered with Jade if she wasn’t garnering worldwide attention for her sad illness? We’re just sayin’.
