M.J. was just found dead at the age of fifty, apparently from a cardiac arrest.He was scheduled to perform a number of comeback concerts next year.
"We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back," the entertainment website [TMZ] said.

Regardless of how you feel about his personal "issues" this is a sad day for pop music fans and weird art enthusiasts everywhere.

Yeah, jumping the gun a little on this news I think. I was just watching the TV and they're pretty vague about whats even going on with him.
Maybe "not quite dead yet" or "mostly dead"... but not dead-dead.

Ok, updated news I saw also said dead. Seems to be generally accepted info now?
Or will he get up and do the Thriiler?
(Going to hell, I know -_-)

Is there some sort of drinking game in place for whenever someone questions the "neatness" of a post? (Personally, I interpret the "neat" in Neatorama as a neutral "interesting" rather than a positive "awesome.")

If he is dead (I last heard coma 30 minutes ago), does he count as the third celebrity death?

It still hasnt sank in to me - as a webdesigner I've tried to pay my respect in the only way I can think of and thats creating a website for others to pay their respects. 15 minutes of effort from me for the life time of entertainment MJ has given...

That's ashame. He had some good music. More and more people are dying young.

May Michael Jackson rest in peace despite some of the negative things said about him.

Mariah is a friend of the legend MJ.

Mariah Carey had included "I'll Be There" as a last-minute addition to her MTV Unplugged setlist.

Carey, drop a heartfelt message to his site.

that '3rd hand' on the statue is the monkey's foot. the monkey's pants look like MJ's sleeves (but his sleeves have a white cuff, where the monkey's pants doesn't). The monkey's feet just look very hand-like.

I don't understand why people get so "involved" in the death of a manufactured celebrity like this. Princess Di, David Carradine, etc. Are people's lives so utterly devoid of meaning that they have to emotionally invest in some entertainer whom they never personally knew, who never knew them, who never contributed to the betterment of humankind (and, no, selling a bunch of records doesn't count).

I like to remember Michael in his formative, exploited and sexually abused childhood years rather than his later, reclusive wingnut pedophile years.

Wherever you ended up, RIP, Michael.

....Ok. Wherever he rests... May he be comfortable coz that's where he choose.

Lots of stories told of Him....I wonder which ones will stick Longer the positive or the negative!

Well its life ...But I am sure ...There's gonna be more to Life...

@42: He wasn't as manufactured as the untalented pop stars these days though. Besides, he pretty much perfected the pop formula.

And I would disagree with you saying him never contributed to the betterment of mankind. You don't need to invent rockets or science stuff to have some literal contribution. Arts and culture are just as important. Nevertheless, civilizations are best remembered by their arts. I have not heard a single MJ song in my life, but judging by how my (older) friends and how people around the world were moaning - I'd say at least he is on to something influential. Being able to write and sing and perform music that makes millions happy and enjoy their parties and lives are just or almost as important as inventing a vaccine that cures millions, or a political movement that revolutionizes a country. Life is for living after all, not just for struggling!

Well, He is gone. I really liked him so much and I was in a musical concert when I was sent a sms of his death. I grew up listening to him and dancing to his music. He is a hero and a genius! REST IN PEACE Michael and surely I will miss you.

Jackson was pronounced dead at at 2:26 p.m. PDT, his brother said.

"My family request that the media please respect our privacy during this time, and may all love be with you Michael, always. We love you."

RIP Michael Jackson

No love lost here.
Especially now that the truth is out that he died of a massive demerol overdose.

The cost of one contract with the devil has been extracted and you whiners are buying into it.

I have deeper feelings toward the passing of Ed McMahon

In reply to IQ, you are wrong. He was never convicted of child molestation so what makes you right? He was an amazing man who changed the way we see music and dance and that deserves some respect. We should focus on the positives of his life not the negative, he was a true legend and the king of pop, RIP Michael, the world is in mourning.

I am still in shock. We have lost a great peron. We will miss you Michael may you RIP. You will never be forgotten. Thank you for being my inspiration when I was little. I grew up listening to you and even had a poster on my door. We will always love you. Goodbye Michael

I can hardly believe it. I wonder what his legacy will evolve into. I found a thoughtful discussion at pandalous. It's here: http://www.pandalous.com/nodes/michael_jackson_is_dead

#68:

"On January 1, 1994, Jackson settled with the Chandler family and their legal team out of court, in a civil lawsuit for $22 million. After the settlement Jordan Chandler refused to continue with Police criminal proceedings. Jackson was never charged, and the state closed its criminal investigation, citing lack of evidence."

Now, please continue to lionize a child molester, I'm not going to stop you or NAMBLA from expressing your opinions, as I honor the first amendment to the constitution of the United States of America.

He was not convicted, so by law, he is innocent (until proven guilty). However, because of certain undeniable circumstances, such as settling out of court, these facts mean that we can reasonably have either a good or bad opinion of him. Many people admire him for various reasons (body of work, talent, style, barriers he broke) and it doesn't seem right to keep reminding them of unproven allegations.

He wasn't convicted, so no one really knows. Also, the holocaust did happen, evolution is true, Americans did go to the moon, Obama is American, and Bush is not dumb (but not a good speaker and probably did not value learning).

Comment fascinant de l'effet 1 homme a eu sur les millions de personnes dans le monde. Ainsi, nombreux sont ceux qui n'ont pas comme Michael, parce qu'ils ne pouvaient pas comprendre le battage. C'est votre perte perdants Michael était tellement incroyable traversée de plus de 60-70, lorsque la musique noire a été de ne pas intégrer? Il ne serait pas Sean Puffy Combs ou Tupac Eminem ou Beyonce ou Justin Timberlake ou si ce n'était pas Michael Jackson pour avoir ouvert la voie. Musique serait incroyablement différent, moins "funky", moins l'âme! & VIDEO monde? Michael Jackson's got CNN la couverture par la presse? Qui d'autre? Pas même PRINCE! Tout le monde voulait travailler avec Michael aussi Michael Jordan, Eddie Murphy, Shaquille Oneal, de Usher à Boybands Il a été le plus grand artiste vivant, vous ne pouvez pas oublier Sammy Davis Jr, mais vivant? Il a été Michael Jackson-a torturé l'âme entouré de sycophants qui lui a permis de pomper son coeur non pas avec du sang, mais avec la RED BULL 10x carré! Quelqu'un doit payer pour sa mort, et je voudrais personnellement à tuer certains d'entre vous négatifs des affiches sur ce forum, mais vous êtes caché derrière un clavier à votre chien de se masturber lécher son entrejambe. Jealous trop cause Michael rend les gens hurler, et on a pu constater que jamais "spot" à faire à personne. I'm a black girl who really loves Michael with all her heart
