Randy Jackson – Michael’s younger brother, not the ring leader of the American Idol dawg pound – was hospitalized in Pasadena yesterday with chest pains. Later, E! confirmed that the 48-year-old had a mild heart attack. “Randy was admitted to the hospital yesterday,” the ailing Jackson’s assistant said. “He will be staying overnight . He suffered from a mild heart attack.” “Thank you for your concern. He is doing as well as expected.” As if this month wasn’t difficult enough for the family, with the anniversary of Michael’s death next week and Conrad Murray’s court proceedings underway. The singer checked into Huntington Memorial Hospital around noon yesterday and remains there Wednesday, where he is awaiting additional test results. The media wasted no time in swarming the hospital last night, and hospital spokeswoman Andrea Stalding released only the bare minimum statement: “By law, I can only confirm patients that are in our hospital database,” she said, refusing to confirm whether or not Randy was being treated at the time. The incident came one day after he appeared with siblings La Toya and Jermaine to watch a judge allow Dr. Conrad Murray to keep his medical license . Also on hand for that court date? Parents Joe and Katherine Jackson – just days after Joe blamed Michael’s death on Katherine . It’s been a rough week. Earlier this month, Randy tweeted his frustrations with the ongoing battle to protect his brother’s legacy and his own difficulty dealing with Michael’s death. “How do I cope?” he wrote. “I have a strong Christian faith & find power in prayer … although this month is hard.” It only gets harder too, sometimes. Here’s wishing Randy a fast, full recovery.
