Michael Jackson calls Goody

Terminally ill British TV reality star Jade Goody received a call of support from King of Pop Michael Jackson.

The ailing "Big Brother" star said she was "blown away" after Jackson made the call to her hospital bedside to comfort her, the Sun reported onine.

"She was so excited to speak to the King of Pop that she was able to hold a full conversation with him, " a freind of Goody said.

Jackson promised he would get VIP tickets to his UK shows for her, husband Jack Tweed and her two sons this July.

The 50-year-old pop star, who was in London to promote his comeback tour, heard about Goody's plight from a friend and asked to speak to her.

The "Thriller" singer knew Goody as she appeared on Celebrity show Big Brother in 2007 alongside his brother Jermaine.

"He learned of Jade's illness 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," 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," the freind added.

"It gave her a real boost and hope that she'll be alive to watch him perform in the summer."
