Excerpted

It was pre-ordained, Celebrities always die in 3’s, Ed McMahon, Farah Fawcett, and now Wacko Jacko.

Is this the same 3 or a new 3? Was Farah the start of a new 3?

Can never tell with this stuff.

He was a personable guy. Cheated on all his wives. Comedians often have trouble growing up.

[Cooter]

That would make a singer, actor, entertainer, and newscaster. All that’s missing is a Sports icon.

...and a politician.

Errol Flynn died at 50 years old!

Michael Jackson dead at 50 -— BFD!

14 will get you 20, they used to say; but not if you are Elvis I guess.

How old was Elvis in 1959 while in the Army? (1959-1935= at least 24...ooops).

And a romantic relationship COULD have meant just kissing and holding hands.

Well it COULD HAVE!

Not likely though...

Hmmm

LAPD getting ready to enter the home...LAPD personnel have the key to the front gates, and are entering the home now.

I hope he found God before he went to meet his maker.

Pop singer Michael Jackson has converted to Islam
Pop singer Michael Jackson has converted to Islam and changed his name to
Mikaeel.

The 50-year-old star, pledged his allegiance to the Koran in a ceremony at a friend’s mansion in
Los Angeles, the Sun reported.

Jackson sat on the floor wearing a tiny hat after an Imam was summoned to officiate — days before
the singer is due to appear at London’s High Court where he is being sued by an Arab Sheik, the
paper said.

The star decided to adopt the new religion while he was recording a song at the home of his friend
where a Jehovah’s witness was brought up to help him through the ceremony.

Apparently the star of hits like ‘the Way You Make Me Feel-was convinced by his producer and
songwriter friends David Wharnsby and Phillip Bubal.

“They began talking to him about their beliefs, and how they thought they had become better
people after they converted. Michael soon began warming to the idea.

“An Imam was summoned from the mosque and Michael went through the shahada, which is the
Muslim declaration of belief,” the source revealed.

Mikaeel is the name of one of Allah’s angels. “Jacko rejected an alternative name, Mustafa
meaning “the chosen one”

Paul is dead?

Preliminary reports from New Zealand police officials indicate that McCartney fell more than 60 feet to his death on the Kauri Cliffs while on-set of a new music video.

You'd think Jeff Goldblum, Tom Cruise and Dustin Diamond's bodies would have broken the fall a little bit. No such luck.

Priscilla claims he would not sleep with her until they were married. I always found it strange that Elvis got a pass for dating a 14 year old, but Jerry Lee Lewis’ career was nearly destroyed for a 13 year old.

“They dyed me this color!”

Great hilarious movie.

[retrokitten]

ROTFLMAO!!

LAPD getting ready to enter the home...LAPD personnel have the key to the front gates, and are entering the home now.

This would indicate they just want to inspect the scene, unless they know something else that was possibly discovered at the hospital...

Probably routine.

For someone who wishes Michael Jackson is "roasting in HELL" and by viewing your posting history, you sure seem to be overly interested in the threads about him today.

I don't condone all the bad things he's been in trouble for but that doesn't negate the fact that he's was one of the greatest entertainers the world has ever seen (IMHO).
