Michael Jackson, the man..ish, the memorial

[Kim Kaphwan]

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Michael Jackson, the sensationally gifted "King of Pop" who emerged from childhood superstardom to become the entertainment world's most influential singer and dancer before his life and career deteriorated in a freakish series of scandals, died Thursday, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. He was 50.

The person said Jackson died in a Los Angeles hospital. The person was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity.

The circumstances of his death were not immediately clear. Jackson was not breathing when Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to a call at his Los Angeles home about 12:30 p.m., Capt. Steve Ruda told the Los Angeles Times. The paramedics performed CPR and took him to UCLA Medical Center,

If that's the case then I'll miss him despite the fact that he was crazy at times.

Currently on Drudge.

Edit: That makes three celebs dead this week, fuck.

I hope that's not the case. Any hardcore fan knows that he has a past history addiction with painkillers. Hopefully the pressure wasn't the problem.

Network news hasn't picked it up yet, but it makes perfect sense, people have been guessing all day who the 3rd celebrity to die would be.

[Xian Xi]

He's not dead yet.

[Cohaagen]

A little sad.

And I feel bad for saying this, but I'm looking forward to the inevitable deluge of information about his life that was up to this point, possibly kept hidden.

[NeoDragoN]

Weird as fuck. Sort of guy you never expect to die.

I guess the Neverland auction is back on

That's terrible.

[smokehouse]

Seriously...wow...RIP I guess...

[Ajax]

Very sad for those that were close to him. RIP.

Who the fuck cares? It`s sad for their families, and I don`t at all intend to come off as insensitive to them as they grieve. But, to care about somebody`s death because they were a "celeb" is fucking pathetic.

Oh good lord.

Now this is what I'll say on all of this. If ANYBODY ever raped your child, would you take the money? I don't think I could put a price on my child. Seeing how they took the money and didn't go through with the trial is bullshit. If somebody raped my kid, I'd want their head on a platter, not money.

Thanks for all your work Michael, you will definitely be missed


The thing that sucks is that I had completely forgot about Michael Jackson even though he was one of my idols as a young lad and it took his death to remind me of how awesome his music was.



I think I see myself watching "The Wiz" in honor of him.

[Wolferaizer]

WTF? First Fawcett now this shit.

RIP dope

L.A. Times is confirming his death. CNN and Fox News has yet to confirm.

RIP pedo

He was a great performer, he really knew how to work the crowds, he was part of some really good tunes and he was a great dancer. Everything else I don't really cafe for. He died just recently but in some way I feel his career died right after Dangerous. The album was meh, he was becoming something stale, music was changing and folks just wanted to move on.

I only saw him during all the court drama a couple of times and he was acting way too fucking weird, with the while rag on his face and the fist on the air all the time, really WTF? Then you have him waving at people with his kid hanging off him over the fence and that was disturbing to me, I'm sure he didn't mean any harm doing it but Jesus fucking Christ! A little bit of common sense wouldn't hurt. Fuck! Had he had any common sense when all this bs started he wouldn't be dead nor white.

I hate to say it, but I was mourning Michael long before he died, since his talent was gone long before his life was. I was surprised when he kicked the bucket, though.
