TMZ: Michael Jackson (Captain EO star, pop icon) has died.

[TubaGeek]

I DESPISE TMZ. They are just the scum of the earth, and now, to make me hate them more, they say MJ DIED?!?
Honestly, shame on them.
MJ may have not been perfect, and no one will ever know his true intentions (not going into that), but I honestly think he is one of the biggest influences in music in the past 50 years. Up there with Elvis and the Beatles.

CNN & MSNBC say they are waiting on all of the family to arrive. Pray that they have nothing to tell the public other than that MJ is still alive and will recover. (Though I strongly fear we will hear otherwise.)

A sad day in the world.

Farewell Farrah. Hopefully Michael will not be joining you this soon.

Ironically, MSNBC just showed video of an old performance where he was dancing on a replica of the Statue of Liberty's torch. Strangely reminiscent of the finale of American Adventure.

:lol:

Was he in his Captain EO Costume?

I bet this story makes snopes.com tomorrow.

Sooner or later if Michael Jackson is proven awake and alert than TMZ will have to retract their story.

 

[tigsmom]

All sources are saying that he is in a coma.

 

[The Conundrum]

Michael Jackson shall never die

 

[rissamattmom]

[Nemo14]

Our local NBC affiliate is saying that NBC has confirmed his death. :shrug:

Scum of the Earth is too kind for them. The show is even more disgusting than the website.

Edit: As of 6:25 CNN is reporting that CBS and the LA times have reported his passing. Philly's local ABC affiliate also just reported it.

It's confirmed.

 

[Horizonsfan]

This is now the worst day of 2009.

Rest in Peace MJ.

 

[hardcard]

he's dead... stop the debating.


Ed McMahon, Farrah Faucet, and MJ in one week.. Wow.

 

[WDW1974]

LA Times and CBS have both confirmed and they are ... in today's world ... as reputable as you'll get.

Very, very sad ... and Farrah Fawcett earlier today too ... bad day ...

 

[Chevross]

RIP Michael Jackson.

CBS & CNN also have announced this news, but CNN stresses that it has not been confirmed. :shrug:
