We've just learned Michael Jackson has died. He was 50.
Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.
A source tells us Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived. A cardiologist at UCLA tells TMZ Jackson died of cardiac arrest.
Once at the hospital, the staff tried to resuscitate him but he was completely unresponsive.
We're told one of the staff members at Jackson's home called 911.
La Toya ran in the hospital sobbing after Jackson was pronounced dead.
Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.

Goofy as he was this is still sad.
He had talent, and did very well for himself until he went off the deep end.
Regardless of what he was or became, there are a lot of family members hurting over this.

I hate be hard and cold at this moment, but I'm glad there is one less child molester in this world now....Nevertheless, I'm sure his family and friends are distraught......

WOW! The two icons from posters on the walls of teenagers (of a certain era) dying in one day!
Actually, I had a phone confirence get cancelled this afternoon as one of the participents works for a celebrity-driven "news" show and was taking calls every 30 seconds or so.
So glad I don't live or work in Hollywood anymore!
Hopefully, the music and not the scandals will be remebered.

Hold on guys. As of 4:55 Mountain time, Fox News says he's still alive and in a coma. Granted I think that's the next best place for him. But don't pop the cork just yet

At 6:31 eastern, Brian William on NBC (D) reported him dead.

Farrah, I will miss. She was my catalyst into puberty. I will love her always.
Wacko Jacko? meh. I am not sure I feel "bad" or his kids. Maybe now they will have some sort of a shot at a normal life and upbringing.
I am still mourning John Wayne, Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Steve McQueen, and of course Moses himself...Mr. Heston.

It would appear that Mikey got a head start on the embalming process some years ago.

I've already gotten over it. He stole Farrah's last chance at fame.

Musically one should note Jackson's passing. In his own way he made a lot of cool music that people could dance to. So as a musician I wave goodbye, even though he hasn't done anything musical worth a s*** in years and years. Plus he did turn into a zombie freak. But hell....Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13 year old cousin and we mourned his passing from the musical world.
It's just the way it is.
Maybe M58 could weigh in on this for us....just how long ago did the enbalming process actually start with him?

Always the professional. ;)
Sometimes you just have call a freak a freak and know that little children will sleep soundly tonight. Never cared for him or his music.

Not only was he a child molester, he screwed Sir Paul McCartney out of the rights to a bunch of the Beatles songs, and he was an icon to the assholes wrecking the country with socialism. He was also doing everything in his power to shaft the people who worked for him.

I will separate the tabloid from the talent, and hopes he Rests In Peace.
Was he weird? yes. Was he talented? yes.
Will his musical talent, as jay stated leave a legacy? yes....
For that, it is a sad day in the musical world.

Michael Jackson the pervert, that renders anything else he did irrelevant.
-
I agree with Frisco. I will miss Farrah. Could not give two or more craps whether Michael Jackson was gone or not. He had the world in his hand and threw it all away cause he had issues to deal with. So did Farrah, and she went out more of a man than Micheal.... :o

Not irrelevant. You have to look at the whole picture. I'm not a fan of his music, but millions were. It is worth remembering. But in the grand scheme of things, the child molestor bit is far more important, and overshadows the rest. I feel for his family, but I don't mourn him.

From a friend's Facebook:
Farah Fawcett died and went to heaven. She met God, he gave her one wish. She asked for all the children of the world to be safe so God killed Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson isn't going to be buried or cremated but recycled into shopping bags....So he can remain white, plastic, and dangerous for children to play with...

Liza Minneli on MJ death:
Liza Minnelli, a close friend for Michael Jackson's says she warned Jackson about taking so many drugs, as did his other friends, according to Janet Charlton's Hollywood. "All hell's going to break loose when the autopsy results come in!" Minnelli was quoted as saying on CBS' The Early Show. "Those who knew him well, really KNEW what he was like - so thank God we're celebrating him NOW!"
Since it's been reported by TMZ that the Jackson family has ordered a second autopsy of Michael's body, that is allegedly being performed today, perhaps there will be dueling autopsy reports with dueling causes of death, rather than corroborated ones.
MJ lawyer on MJ death:
While the autopsy report of Michael Jackson is still awaited, people close to him have claimed that his dependency on prescription drugs, encouraged by "enablers", led to his sudden death.
Brian Oxman, attorney and spokesman of the late singer, told 'CNN' that there were "enablers" in the star's entourage, who pressurized the singer to perform and pushed him towards prescription drugs.
"I believe (his manager) Frank DiLeo was with him at the time (of his heart attack), that is what I have been told. This family has been trying for months and months and months to take care of Michael Jackson," said Oxman.
"The people who have surrounded him have been enabling him. If you think the case of Anna Nicole Smith was an abuse, that is nothing compared to what has taken place in the life of Michael Jackson," Oxman added hinting at the role of the coterie that surrounded Jackson during his last days.

In line with what Blackwolfe posted Michael Jackson was NEVER an actual "person", for most of his life he was a "property" no different than a milling machine or bulldozer, kept in the garage until it was time to make money and then put back in the garage for maintenance. It really no wander that he was an extremely messed up individual.
One example of "nanny state" type treatment of an individual, and HIS "handlers" were supposedly GOOD at their jobs, imagine the freaks and nutcases that will result from GOVT. implementing the same conditions on the whole population ??? ?
