This is just in from TMZ, but Michael Jackson has died. Source to come. :o

Naaaah that's Impossible. I heard he just had a cardio arrest. TMZ FTL.

that is the only website reporting his death...the media would be all over this if it really did happen...i give it a couple of more hours until the truth comes out.

It is, I can't believe I fell for their crap. I just heard on the news that he's hospitalized from having a heart attack, he's not dead yet.

Post by: Al on June 25, 2009, 06:04:12 PM: that and they completely contradict themselves from the cardiac arrest report to this latest report...

really? i mean come on.

Post by: Localonthe8s on June 25, 2009, 06:07:09 PM: TMZ must be saying he's dead because they don't like him at the first point.

uhh..ok?

After doing a google search, every site that is saying Jackson is dead, has mentioned "TMZ reports..".

As a type this, they are mentioning this right now on the local news. They said he was taken to the hospital after going into cardiac arrest and not breathing. They had no mention that he is dead.

But still. Did we need to know the temperature in LA when this went on?

I wouldn't say that, but she certainly deserves an honorable mention. Wikipedia's "In The News" doesn't even have her listed. I just hope she gets as much attention as Michael Jackson.

I agree :( Dont think she will get it though

ET is only focusing on Farrah Fawcett, I don't think they have even mentioned Michael Jackson's death. :blink:
Pre-recorded i imagine? IMO she deserves more coverage than Jackson
I wouldn't say that, but she certainly deserves an honorable mention. Wikipedia's "In The News" doesn't even have her listed. I just hope she gets as much attention as Michael Jackson.

ABC is and has shown a special for the both of them.

Post by: twcfan68 on June 25, 2009, 11:00:34 PM: Yeah, that is really creepy. It seems after Natasha Richardson randomly died of a skiing accident back in February, suddenly other celebrities are also 'bushing up daisies' randomly.
Title: Re: Michael Jackson Dead At 50 Years Old
Post by: TWCToday on June 25, 2009, 11:02:00 PM: Most of these deaths are very random! I guess Farrah Fawcett was bound to go sometime soon since the poor woman had some many things going wrong :(

Such a sad week in the entertainment industry overall.

Quote
The ENQUIRER reported months ago that worried pals feared Michael Jackson would die in the next six months!

how do you feel about this?

quote from the source:
Quote
"Painkillers and booze have caught up with him. The only way he was able to cope with the stress of sex scandals and his roller-coaster life was to mask the pain with substance abuse.

"But the end result is an addiction that will kill him."

The Enquirer is a very VERY bad source for information. (Nothing but lies and gossip in the Enquirer)

A close member of Michael Jackson's family has told us Jackson received a daily injection of a synthetic narcotic similar to morphine -- Demerol -- and yesterday he received a shot at 11:30 AM.

Family members are saying the dosage was "too much" and that's what caused his death.

The specific cause of death has yet to be determined.[2]
We could all just STOP JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS and stop believing everything we read until the actual autopsy results are released.... Yeah, let's do so!

I agree. They havent said what REALLY caused his death. they need to do some tests.

Post by: curtjr4 on June 27, 2009, 03:06:01 AM: Well, I will miss him. I mean, yes, he screwed up his reputation for meing sued about "Things" but he is very famous. He had a purpous, he made history- So he will be greatly missed.

Now backing up from that, the media really needs to start shutting up about it. Resume it inabout 6 weeks when the autopsy reports come in and they have a really good prediction on what happened.

Post by: wxmediafan on July 02, 2009, 10:03:37 AM: Okay, here is my rant about the whole Michael Jackson dieing.

Yes, it is really sad, and shocking that Michael Jackson passed away. Yes, this was a big thing for the media.

Today, the Taliban captured an American Soldier in Afghanistan. Tell me why NBC's TODAY show had a "special edition" about Neverland? Why was the top story about an exclusive look inside Neverland, and an interview with Jackson's father, while ABC's Good Morning America started right off the top with the capture of the American soldier. So disrespectful, in my opinions, of TODAY to start off with Michael Jackson. It just kind of bugs me that this is such a BIG deal. I know Michael was/is HUGE, but still, come one TODAY.

:rolleyes: Well of course they are. I am so sick of hearing about this everytime I turn on the news. There are more important stories than Michael's funeral. I'll be glad it's over after Tuesday. Then he may actually be able to rest in peace!

I have to agree with both of you. I don't even watch the news these days when I know they will only talk about one thing. :no:
