Internet reports surfaced Thursday of Michael Jackson being hospitalized with pneumonia in Las Vegas.

Not true, Jackson publicist Raymone Bain tells "Access Hollywood."

"Michael Jackson is not currently in the hospital, nor has he been hospitalized with pneumonia," Bain said.

She continued just to "Access," "M.J. is not hospitalized. I spoke to him a couple of hours ago, and he was at home conducting meetings."

When asked about the pneumonia by another reporter, Bain replied to "Access," "I told him (the other reporter) that I did not know if the doctor had diagnosed him with pneumonia or a bad case of the flu."

She adds: "Everyone was a bit under the weather due to changing climates and the traveling, but he's OK."
