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.

Colour me cynical, but any excuse to get out of his commitment...

I always knew he would never turn up for half of his gigs

Thank god I didnt buy tickets!

How awful I hope he is okay

That's the first thing I thought too

I heard he had a stroke......and enjoyed it so much he had another!

Bummer if he has though cos it'll cost my other half a load of missed earning opportunities.

All you music fans out there rip up your tickets, the O2 concert isn't happening.

I had a feeling "something" would happen to stop it.

i just posted another thread ....didnt see this one soz x

Beats a police arrest, I suppose.

I was offered tickets for his 89 gigs and turned them down, good for me, cos he went sick for them

Would never bother with a Jackson ticket again!

Always has been. Suddenly he is an expert on Jacko.

He may not be liked by some, but please, leave the horrible comments....so upset, he was my childhood hero and I have always loved him...I am so sad...
