WESTWOOD—American 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.

This could easily be another MJ drama.

It’s all about ratings and ad revenue. Milk it. Milk it. Milk it. If he is dead which I believe this will go on for weeks. Maybe it’s all a plot to cover up what Obama is doing. Misdirection.

And that sad little man-child who never got to be a child in the normal sense, and was never allowed to become a man, has gone on to his reward.

May all those crowded emotions and impulses be sorted out in the afterlife. There was no putting things in order while living on this planet.

Captain Eo takes off on the last flight. Was all that 20 years ago?

As a pop culture site — this is far and away their biggest breaking story.

It might not have the effect that the Drudge report did for the Drudge report but it is still big enough and they will get credit for breaking it in “hard” publications and sources.
