    Are those gold plated things on his legs just part of the costume, or are those braces??

    What the fuck???

    I take the family to Florida for a week and everybody starts dying...

    Ed McMahon, Farrah, and now Michael Jackson.

    Heard about Michael on the way home from the airport as the news was breaking at around 5pm EDT.

    Well....I guess that's one way to escape the allegations....

    Either way, the whole truth will probably never be known.

    But strip away all of the "other" shit surrounding him and he was an extraordinary entertainer.

    Before he went batshit crazy, of course....

    I suppose it's not uncommon for a man of 50 to have a heart attack and, if you look at Jackson from recent news coverage, he didn't seem to be in the best of health - a bit sluggish in walk and slightly overweight. But with that said no one was ever sure what his mental state was from his numerous surgeries (let's be honest here) to his financial/court woes. Jackson milked the "king of pop" moniker that was placed upon him for all it was worth and who knows how he felt when the well finally ran dry; being dumped by Sony, endless mockery of his (alleged) child molestation behavior and becoming more irrelevant in the media spotlight had to take a toll on him. Who knows? Maybe he wanted to die young rather than grow old turning into a shadow of his former self. Time will tell.

    I couldn't agree more...

    Yeah...it got pretty bizzare there for awhile, and you cant believe the BS the media says, and he did try to stand up for himself instead of hide...

    I also believe, if I remember correctly, he was being set-up with some of those interviews...but how much was it that he paid to settle out of court ??
    I know it was a lot, and I remember thinking, that doesn't look good...

    I don't really want to get into any of that, but it is what it is, I guess...

    Heart attack rehearsing for a tour?

    You can't be that 20 year old at 50.

    I think he worked himself to death.

    Will Paul McCartney get the Beatles songs back now?

    When he gets to his final destination, Elvis is gonna beat his ass!

    Will he need to be embalmed, or has he had too much work done already?

    Reminiscent of when Elvis died, really.

    Bring on the Jacko sightings!!

    We talk about how wierd EVH is.

    But Michael Jackson....the whole family really-all the kids, anyway, never had the opportunity to be what we call normal.

    Not saying he's a saint, but the kid had IT.

    Click!

    "Many of us who had purchased tickets for the opening concerts and have already purchased flight tickets and hotels etc. have received an email informing us of our concerts being rescheduled not two or three weeks but a grand total of 10 months!

    "Many of us now are left unable to go or are feeling disappointed in having taken so much effort to get tickets for the opening performances to be put to the very end of the concert run.

    "While we have no idea who's fault this is, whether it is the the 02, [promoter] AEG Live or Michael Jackson himself's decision or fault.

    "We the undersigned are asking for the management of the concert to please reconsider this decision."

    Gregory,

    I appreciate the sincerity of thy prayer, and verily there have been thousands that have come in on Michael's behalf.

    But I must remind thee of My words........

    But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in Me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
    My Father and I taketh no joy in saying this, but what Michael hath done unto children hath sealed his fate.

    I wanna remember the pre-pedo allegations Michael without the melting face and plastic and puddy nose piece....


    Still a classic:

    YouTube - Michael Jackson - Thriller

    The alternate version:

    God, I hope so. The thought of old man Joe or LaToya getting their hands on those songs sickens me. At least Michael, whatever his other faults, could appreciate the value of that music.

    Sounds like the media circus is already in effect.....

    Brad Friedman is guest hosting Malloy's show this week. He's based in LA, and said there were so damn many cars blocking traffic at the UCLA Medical Center that they actually had to airlift Michael's body out in a goddamn helicopter.

    And then the media helicopters chased that chopper to the coroner's office.

    Un-fucking-believable.

    If only the media whores would give as much attention to .... oh I don't know, how about the rally for health care reform in Washington DC today?

    Michael Jackson May Have Left Paul McCartney Rights to 200 Beatles Songs in His Will
    By Eugmc
    Created 06/25/2009 - 7:11pm

    Michael Jackson arranged to give Paul McCartney the rights to the Beatles back catalog through his will according to reports published earlier this year. The pair who scored hits together in the mid-1980's with Say, Say, Say and The Girl Is Mine had been feuding for years after Jackson won the rights to the Beatles back catalog because of legal wrangling between Macca and John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono.

    McCartney for years expressed his dissatisfaction with Jackson's maneuver and the two were never on speaking terms again. Previously, the pair collaborated on Jackson's 1982 'Thriller' extract 'The Girl is Mine,' and McCartney's 1983 single 'Say, Say, Say' from 'Pipes of Peace' and forged a close friendship.

    U.K. newspaper the Daily Mirror quoted a Jackson insider as saying in January saying:

    "Michael told his lawyers he was sad he no longer talks to Sir Paul and said he wanted to make things right."

    Jackson, who died today at 50 years of age, had been reportedly diagnosed with cancer and one can speculate that the strain put on his heart during workouts for his concerts next month in London ultimately led to the King of Pop's demise. Jackson had sold 50&#37; of his assets to Sony but held the other half which would be given back to McCartney if the rumors are proven to true.

    He had cancer? First I've heard of that.

    I do hope this report is true though. It would be the right thing for Michael to do.

    Reactions to Michael Jackson's death

    (Reuters) - Michael Jackson's sudden death at the age of 50 brought reactions from across the entertainment world and elsewhere. Below are some of those reactions.

    -- Music producer Quincy Jones, who collaborated with Jackson on three of his best-selling albums, "Off the Wall," "Thriller" and "Bad," said in a statement:

    "I am absolutely devastated at this tragic an unexpected news. For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at this young age, I just don't have the words.

    He added: "He was the consummate entertainer and his contributions and legacy will be felt upon the world forever. I've lost my little brother today and part of my soul has gone with him."

    -- Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of rock great Elvis Presley and who was married to Jackson in the mid-1990s, said in a statement:

    "I am so very sad and confused with every emotion possible. I am heartbroken for his children who I know were everything to him and for his family. This is such a massive loss on so many levels, words fail me.

    -- Actress Brooke Shields, a longtime friend of the "King of Pop," said in a statement released through her publicist:

    "My heart is overcome with sadness for the devastating loss of my true friend Michael. He was an extraordinary friend, artist and contributor to the world. I join his family and his fans in celebrating his incredible life and mourning his untimely passing."

    -- Neil Portnow, president and CEO of the Recording Academy, the group that organizes the Grammy Awards, said in a statement: "Rarely has the world received a gift with the magnitude of artistry, talent and vision as Michael Jackson. He was a true musical icon whose identifiable voice, innovative dance moves, stunning musical versatility and sheer star power carried him from childhood to world wide acclaim.

    "A 13-time Grammy recipient, Michael's career transcends musical and cultural genres and his contributions will always keep him in our hearts and memories."

    -- Rudy Clay, mayor of Jackson's hometown, Gary, Indiana, told the Chicago Tribune: "Wherever a person from Gary, Indiana, went in the world, people would say, 'That's Michael Jackson's home town.' So Michael helped Gary just by being from Gary."
