I read he was rushed to the hospital, not necessarily dead yet. If they use CPR and the "defibrillator", they could probably bring him back from the dead. Until a "reputable" source tells me otherwise, I think he's just in the hospital.

You're right..only TMZ and Fox reports he is dead.. neither is what I'd consider reputable :)

Yeah, just read that too...

CNN is having split personality issues with talking about him in the past tense..while having a 'CNN has not confirmed his death' banner at the bottom of the screen.

Re: Off-Topc: OMG..Michael Jackson just died
 
Yep, NY Times reports he's gone. I can't say I'll mourn, but don't get me wrong. I love most of his music, but him as a person, I just can't respect.

Anyway, I do feel for the loss his family feels.

Michael Jackson's "Thriller" in High Def (10 mins): http://www.savevid.com/video/michael...hd-582307.html

Can't believe that was 17 years ago....

Man. Today really sucked. Farrah Fawcett, then Michael Jackson.

Re: Off-Topc: OMG..Michael Jackson just died
 
Yep. She died on the 23rd and him today. Two famous people in the span of two days. In the next two days, who's next?

I thought Farah Fawcett also died today on the 25th. Wasn't it Ed McMahon that died a couple of days ago?

Re: Off-Topc: OMG..Michael Jackson just died
 
Oh, looks like a site got their info mixed up. Yeah, you're right. So, Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson in two days. Dayum!

Re: Off-Topc: OMG..Michael Jackson just died
 
Yeah, it was Ed McMahon, then Farah Fawcett, then MJ. 3 in a span of just a few days. It's another episode of "comes in threes" thing.

I say there is a "Star" plague here, killing off stars at random. ;)

If i have to choose ... i just prefer Farraw fauwcett, she was a really beautifull woman, even with time, she didn't loose her beauty and didn't turn into a stange freak using too much aesthetic surgery.

Well, I am not much for speaking ill of the dead. Michael Jackson was an amazing artist.

RIP MJ

I can read between the lines, and I think I'm in sync with you once again PB. 'nuff said.

Well, there goes another one. This time it's Billy Mays, the infomercial guy. That makes 4 in 3 days. Ouch. Kinda makes you wonder who's next? It's like there's a plague on famous people making them drop like flies.

4 in 6 days.

McMahon: 6/23
Fawcett and MJ: 6/25
Billy Mays: 6/28

Also, not sure Billy Mays 'belongs' on this list. Shouting commercials about OxiClean just doesn't have the same impact on me :)

Re: Off-Topc: OMG..Michael Jackson just died
 
Well, they all happened on 3 separate days, so it still counts. ;) :P lol.

"This video is not available in your country due to copyright restrictions. "

Well that sucks. Guess I can't watch it. :( Hmm, guess I need to find a proxy that's out of country.

EDIT: Ok, figured out how to view it. And like dude, WTH? His son just died and he's pimping a business venture?? My gawds, he's nuts. (*shakes head*)
