Better days

Pop star Michael Jackson dead: report – washingtonpost.com — FYI. An odd tragic figure.

Pop giant Michael Jackson, who took to the stage as a child star and went on to set the world dancing to the thumping rhythms of his music for decades, died Thursday, TMZ website reported. He was 50.

“We’ve just learned Michael Jackson has died,” TMZ said.

“Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon and paramedics were unable to revive him. We’re told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back,” the entertainment site said.

There was no official confirmation of the reported death and spokespersons for Jackson could not be reached for comment.




  1. Here's Johnny says:

    Fake

    If he molested those kids, which I think he did, fuck him. Stop worshiping him.

    I he didn’t, then RIP. But I can’t mourn someone who can’t get their shit together when they have the world at their feet.

    It’s not required you be a total asshole on every post – take a break.

  4. Jägermeister says:

    One less pedophile.

  5. jim says:

    This will be televised for days now. It’s going to give the wolfs in washington a chance to rape the country. I’ll be keeping an eye out to see what they get up to.

  6. jccalhoun says:

    how long until the first tell-all biography comes out? how long until the movie rights to his life story are sold? (as hard up as he was for money I’m surprised he didn’t sell off rights to his life story)

  7. The0ne says:

    Great performer and love the songs but that’s about it after the events with the kids. Still a shame that we won’t be getting anymore songs from him though.

    I’m LMAO at these hate comments at Michael. It’s if as though each and everyone of you don’t like or favor a celebrity that’s done harm. At least try your best to be humble and respectful knowing you aren’t that different from those that are giving respect to Michael. Let me list some names so you will know…

    1. Kobe Bryant (rape)
    2. Halley Barry (hit-run)
    3. Mariah Carey (hates Asian)
    4. Bush (hahaha)
    5. Rush Limb (really just an asshole that makes money off of morons that listen and follows him…hell, he even say so! hahaha)
    6. Athletes that uses drugs and continues to deny/lie about it. Screw them all, why idolize them?

    So you see, no one’s perfect but you like a celebrity because you DON’T know any better or list most people DON’T care. Now continue bitching and worshiping your damned celebrities.

  8. Ron Larson says:

    The world is a little safer tonight. One less rich pedophile who can escape justice with his money and fame.

    Enjoy hell Mr. Jackson.

  9. ArianeB says:

    I hear Justin Timberlake is taking over the “King of Pop” duties until his official coronation.

  10. GF says:

    Life is short, make the most of it.

  11. Fame what a dbl edged sword says:

    First Ed then Farah now Jackson this is just what Iran needed to distract the media.

    All 3 had great aptitude for there craft they were loved and will be missed.

    You hate expelling Christians can start with the forgiveness of Jackson now, remember it’s one of your main principles.

    Oh and why do we have to come here day after day and explain your principles to you. I never bought what they taught me in Sunday School but at least I paid attention.

  12. Dallas says:

    All this takes pressure off of South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford.

    He picked a great week to tell how he disgraced his family and lied to the lord Jesus Christ for 10 years.

  13. Fame what a dbl edged sword says:

    Yes Dallas but in the grand seam of things that’s just another distraction of one mans infidelity. The struggle in Iran, N. Korea, Darfur, the wars that’s what the media should be covering but these stories are easy and will get an audience.

  14. RTaylor says:

    There seems to be great division in this thread. It’s good to see things are normal.

  15. #46 — Commenters seem to be getting worse over time. And these are tame by some standards. Everyone is a critic.

  16. Lou says:

    The guy was an annoying freak show who played lame tunes and most likley, screwed around with kids.
    I won’t be missing him.

  17. Patrick says:

    Great artist, strange guy. Sorry to see him go. Seems that boomers have an unusually short life expectancy…

  18. Greg Allen says:

    Everybody loved to beat up the freak Michael Jackson — and maybe he deserved it.

    But he was one of the musical greats of our time.

    For example, you can play the first few seconds of “Thriller” almost anywhere in the world and nearly everybody will know it. And it’ a nearly 30-year old song!

    That puts him on a very very short list. The Beatles; Elvis; maybe Sinatra, but who else? Not many.

  19. deowll says:

    I can remember when he was on top. He was one of the best.

    I do wish he’d known when to say when on the face carving and a few other things.

  20. LDA says:

    Very sad, for many reasons. R.I.P.

  21. Jägermeister says:

    #47 – John C Dvorak – Commenters seem to be getting worse over time.

    Don’t throw rocks if you live in a glass house.

  22. Special Ed says:

    What is black and comes in little white cans?

    /well, use to.

  23. Jägermeister says:

    #54 – Special Ed

    What did Michael Jackson say to O.J. Simpson?

    You take care of your wife, and I’ll take care of your kids.

  24. audion says:

    These celebrity deaths bring out the worst in old media.

    The goof on ABC News has repeatedly, earnestly informed us that Jackson died while in full cardiac arrest.

    Oh, really?

  25. Angel H. Wong says:

    The king is dead, long live the king.

  26. Mr. Fusion says:

    Jackson was a good performer, writer, and singer. Accuse him of what you will, but he was still found not guilty after a fair trial of some goldbrick trying to extort money from him.

    Not my type of music but I’m glad to see Cow-Patty wanted to meet him between the sheets.

    I can remember when he was on top. He was one of the best.

    THAT IS WAY MORE THAN I WANTED TO HEAR!!!!!!!!!!!

  28. Greg Allen says:

    I’m not sure we can ever have pop stars like Micheal Jackson again. That 80s bunch including the other weirdo great, Madonna, depended on a music industry that no longer is viable.
