RIP King of Pop!

I will always Billie Jean

*tips sequined-covered 40*


sad day

Ok, so this is a TMZ link, and it seem so far, they are the only ones reporting his death.

Other sources are reporting him being rushed to the hospital. But TMZ, as sleezy as they are, I doubt would report this without strong consideration.

If true... then.... wow.

I still remember my first concert, which was MJ.

A teeny little Beat It jacket (I was 6 at the time) still hangs in my closet.

He was already a zombie? How can he die again???

And yeah seems resources report of a cardiac arrest and not died yet.

i'd agree... and they are the ones who first reported his hospital stay as well.

Thing is, TMZ was the source that broke the cardiac arrest reports.

They are now reporting his death. Either it's a SERIOUS fuck up, or they've got the inside track on this one, which seems plausible.

Consider if you were a more respectable news source, would you REALLY jump the gun on something like reporting Michael Jackson dying?

It's popping up everywhere now. Looks like it's confirmed.

Wow - unbelievable!

I wonder who the third celeb will be. 3's and all.

At least Pauly Shore's safe.

No, he was #3.

Ed Mcmahon
Farrah Fawcett
Michael Jackson

Ah. Right. What with them mixing up Johnny C and Ed, I was a little cornfused.

And I love the news. For fuck's sake.

Reuters and CTV are saying.... that TMZ is saying that he's dead. So they're not reporting the news. They're just reporting someone else's purported 'news'.

I don't care how many boys he may have felt up, he is (well, now "was") the fucking MAN. Thriller still rocks my balls and I have no problem admitting it.

I'd love to jump into that other universe where he didn't end up becoming an obscure, reclusive figure and hear what he came up with...

Looks legit - picked up by AFP, UP, ABC online, CBS...


Who'da thunk it?

make me cry again with your compassion xdud


(update...la times is saying he's in a coma)

CNN is still on the cardiac thing

They just updated to say he's dead. That's it.

So I guess you really can't cheat death after all. How disappointing.

Alberta's all over this story.

BEVERLY HILLS — A huge auction of Michael Jackson memorabilia scheduled for next week was cancelled on Tuesday and auctioneers agreed to return all the items to the singer.

edit... that was in April. Nevermind, I sux.
