Still not officially confirmed. So no jumping the gun yet.

Alot of people are gonna want their concert money back...

If WJ is really toast I don't think I'll shed a tear. Child molesters aren't really going to garner sympathy from me.

Why are some of the most creative people cursed with some of the greatest inner demons?

Because creativity and insanity are sides of the same coin?

It certainly seems that a lot of very truly creative people have 'expressed' themselves as a way to self-medicate.

The LA Times just confirmed that he's dead.

I think I am positive he can recover. Uri Geller told BBC News a few moments ago that the last time that he met him was surprisingly healthy.

LA Times seems to pronounce him dead. Not confirmed.

[Scario]

If this is true, I'm so sad. He's a personal icon of mine. I've had a poster of him on my wall for as long as I can remember, since I lived in India.

you lived india? i live in virginia,usa.

[JuNii]

The King Of Pop, Michael Jackson, has reportedly died at the age of 50 after suffering an apparent heart attack.

The popular and controversial entertainer was rushed to UCLA Medical Centre after the noon hour Thursday.

Capt. Steve Ruda told the L.A. Times that emergency crews responded to a call at Jackson's home off Sunset Boulevard. When they arrived he wasn't breathing and couldn't be revived.

Jackson was in the midst of an ambitious comeback when tragedy struck. He is survived by three children and had 13 number one hits during his solo career.

[What the duchy]

well I just heard he's in a coma, not dead.

[New Mitanni]

Three LA radio stations have reportedthat Jackson is dead. No official word yet from UCLA. As of 3:22 pm, the LA Times reports that Jackson is "in a coma."

If WJ is really toast I don't think I'll shed a tear. Child molesters aren't really going to garner sympathy from me.

While this seems to be a popular sentiment... how many children has Jackson actually been found guilty of abusing?

[Hydrosteria]

It's amazing how heartless some people can be on the Internet.

Well isn't this thread just full of breaking news!

Hooray for sarcasm!

And no that wasn't saracasm just there.

[Blasphemous Priest]

The L.A. times, according to MSNBC, has just confirmed the pop icon has died at 50 years of age.

Damn, I was told sanity and insanity were.

[Scario]

the richmond times ashured that he is gone.

[Arzoobia]

If this is true, I'm so sad. He's a personal icon of mine. I've had a poster of him on my wall for as long as I can remember, since I lived in India.

Once again, trial by media. He was never found guilty. Stop assuming.

[Buffett and Colbert]

Washington Post just as good as confirmed his death. I suppose that's an end of an era. He was creepy though.

The BBC couldn't find anyone else to interview except Uri Geller?

"Yes, Michael and I were bending spoons by the pool at his house just the other day and he seemed perfectly fine. I even taught how to bend two at once."

[Daynor]

NO GOD DAMN IT!!!

I will cry myself to sleep tonight listening to Thriller...

By the same logic OJ isn't a double murderer either.

He was cool pre-mid-90s. Looking back at his legacy, he was more cool than freakshow.

I believe it's called being acquitted by a jury. While I find OJ creepy beyond measure, he was acquitted.
