[Updated at 3:15 p.m.: Pop star Michael Jackson was pronounced dead by doctors this afternoon after arriving at a hospital in a deep coma, city and law enforcement sources told The Times.]
Well thankfully our expiring celebrity icons have wiped from our TVs all those uncomfortable photos of pesky Persians being massacred in the streets of Iran, saving our beloved leader further embarrassment for his chilly silence.
Farrah and Michael, giving right up to the end.

I never apologize to those who try to defend child molesters - especially when they try to hold up other child abusers as some sort of sick form of cover for Mr. Jackson.
In fact Borges should apologize to the thread for that reprehensible notion.
Tattle all you want to whomever you want. I suspect they would agree with my sentiments, seeing how I’m still here.
“I’m not excusing any misbehavior he may have done with young kids - but just dang, I loved ‘Thriller’”
Ha!
Amazing!
Oh, my...
As I recall, that gal was a Playboy centerfold before they made that video.
I’m not defending child molestation. As you well known but perfer slanderous hyperbole.
‘well know’
Your post isn’t.Night.
Then bye!!!!
Do I think he molested children? Yep. I think OJ did it, too. Trials are generally settled by the jury selection. That's why people who can afford it hire lawyers who do profiling of jury members.
He’s on Criminal Intent now. I’ve always enjoyed Jeff Goldblum. I loved him as the geeky People magazine photographer in “The Big Chill.”
Me either. I made no comment on Jackson's life and I will not. Just that I liked his music. I'm close to his age and it brings back a lot of memories of my time growing up. I remember making macrame' bracelets at the Boys and Girls Club while listening to "Rockin' Robin," rollerskating to "I'll Be There," and dancing to all the Thriller tunes in my 20's. Nothing more, nothing less. All of the sudden I'm portrayed as a person with no taste that enjoys crotch-grabbing, vulgar music and idolizes celebrity culture. That couldn't be further from the truth. It's a sad story all the way around. Some posters remind me of vultures picking on a dead corpse. It's just the background music of the times of our youth. I'll let God sort out the stuff that is no longer any of my business.
All other things aside, I never liked his music anyway. That's just me.
Now that is interesting news. Poor kids -- sold out by their parents.
That's it??? That's your evidence???
A hundred years ago that age difference wasn't all that uncommon.
Older available women were in very short supply, the population was thinned out pretty well by childbed fever (Despite Ignaz Semmelweis' plea for hygiene half a century before) and young men with enough wherewithal to start a family were few and very far between.
How many of the hypocrites here defending Mr. Jackson would have left their own young children alone with this guy.
This should be interesting to see the contortions they go through trying their moral relativity dance around that one.
amen.
I did say it was innuendo.
You're not being responsive to my point.
My point is that nobody here knows for a fact whether he's guilty or not, and since we don't know, do we hope it occurred, or do we hope it never occurred?
Can you answer that question?
I have no sexual molestation scars. I know many who do, however. I would wager most here know someone who was molested. It’s a huge problem, in case you didn’t know.
I’ve been around celebs since I was a child. I live in Southern California. My company serves a number of them. There just people. I’ve seen them drunk, seen them act stupid/do stupid things, smell bad, etc. It’s a big show and fame happens ONLY in the fan.
I don’t have the same ga-ga perspective as most, I guess.
He was a probable child-rapist in my estimation. I don’t give a damn about his record sales, FRiend.
Not knowing you, and probably able to find a couple people who know you that will trash your “reputation”, I’m certain you’d not be high on any list to be allowed unfettered access to children. It would be simple to smear you with innuendo and with tilted words. Be advised, the world does not love you and you are at the mercy of forces you cannot control.
