WESTWOODAmerican icon and pop singer Michael Jackson died on Thursday, June 25, according to breaking reports. TMZ first reported that Jackson, 50, passed away.
Jackson was known for his slew of popular songs over the last four decades, including "Thriller" and "Billie Jean" and for his now-legendary mini-movie/music video for "Thriller" which is still a very popular song and music video today, more than 20 years later.
Jackson was also known for his singular antics off the stage, including his wearing of pajamas to court appearances and apparently dangling one of his children off of a balcony.
According to available information, authorities responded to a call that Jackson was in distress early on Thursday afternoon, and soon after transported him to the world famous UCLA Medical Center.
MichaelJackson.com reveals that the singer and proclaimed "King of Pop" was scheduled to perform in quite a few concerts in the United Kingdom between July 8, 2009 and March 6, 2010.
Jackson would have been 51 this August.
(scumbag parents of his dont get any money)
Don’t bet on it, they probably are talking to a lawyer to file suit against: The owner of the property where he stayed, the ambulance service, doctors who ‘prescribed’ his meds, the hospital, the doctors at the hospital, the nurses, the interns,and the many plastic surgeons.
They WILL get as much money from his death as they did when he was somewhat alive.
Shep can’t help himself.
Wikapedia is showing today being his death date. He and I shared a birthday.
Don’t worry he will be elevated to heights higher than Elvis or Reagan or anyone.
Or the death of "Band of Brother" Shifty Powers.
Wow, I just checked it 5 minutes ago and it was not there:

“Who were the three surrounding David Carridean (sp)?”
Probably some of the same surrounding Michael. This rule of three crap is easy to perpetuate, since people are always dying, and all you have to do is go back to the last two on the list to confirm the rule.
Wonder if anyone had Jackson in their death pool. That would have been quite a coup.
I remember my daughter, at age 6 or 7 loving his music, and I bought her a poster of him for her bedroom.
Years later, I was so creeped out, thinking about what he had become.
Prayers going out to his family, nomatter what I thought of him.
Sad thing is, I truly believe he was a pediphile, but I think the media will make him out to be a saint.
“People in this country and so apathetic and ethnocentric. It is really sickening!”
As far as elevating such trivial things as singing and dancing—no matter how virtuosic—go, I’ll admit it’s a little sickening. But it’s only natural to care more about what’s going on in your own culture than what’s going on in Iran. Just like it’s perfectly understandable that people cry more when a member of their family dies than when a relative stranger does.
Anyway, Iran got plenty of press. We’ll get back to them.
Does David Carradine count in the three mix?
Farrah; Michael.....
Staggering losses to humanity and civilization. The mind boggles.
“They are falling like flys. Were next.”
If they are falling like flies, then Jeff Goldblum must have died.
“Thats awful. Shepard Smith just called Michael Jackson a colored kid. Awful.”
Well, that might have been the preferred nomenclature when he was a kid, so it’s acceptable. Except you have to wonder why bring it up, since it never seemed to be much of an issue, so far as I remember.
