ZDNet's Sam Diaz reports on headlines from MarketWatch revealing that Steve Jobs made an appearance at Disney's annual shareholders meeting today. The appearance is Jobs' first in public since before announcing a six-month medical leave in January.

Diaz contacted Disney and was able to confirm that Jobs was indeed in attendance.

Calls out to Disney to confirm Jobs appearance. A move to appear at Disney's shareholder meeting makes sense on a few levels. For starters, Jobs is a major Disney shareholder and he can make his first appearance without the hubbub associated with an Apple event.

Jobs has been a member of Disney's board of directors and the company's largest individual shareholder since Disney acquired Pixar in 2006. He, along with the rest of Disney's board of directors, was reelected at today's meeting.

Update: MarketWatch has retracted their headlines. Diaz, however, has not followed suit. In fact, Diaz has continued to provide updates from the audio webcast.

A shareholder wished Jobs well with his health, but noted that he was worried about contingency plans if the Apple CEO's 138 million shares were to hit the open market.

CEO Bob Iger said: "We have not thought at all about the contingency for whether Steve Jobs is not on our board. It's not something we worry about."
