Currently unconfirmed reports on the wires that Michael Jackson has died of a cardiac arrest.
Gonna be a looooong day in the office.

..Reuters and LA Times now reporting he was pronounced dead at UCLA medical center just after 3pm local, where he was taken by LAFD at lunchtime following a call to his home, where he was found without a pulse.
Holy fuck.
Mass-exodus of random proportions! Still, I've rather expected Jackson to kick it at any moment for the last five years at least. It was just a feeling...
Randy Jackson is confirming the story.
Wow. This is already a weird day. First the fucked up space and time travel theme park dreams. Now we've got the celebrities from our era(s), recent eras at that dropping like flies.
Counting Ed McMahon, that's three this week.
If this is what happens when I sleep in, I might start setting my alarm more often.

Kind of an odd timeframe. Paramedics arrive at 12:30PM. Jackson is in full cardiac arrest. Pronounced dead at 3:15PM. They must have tried to restart his heart for several hours. RIP.
This was the most unexpected thing I've heard all day. From what I heard he was cleared to do the 50 shows in London. Rest in Peace man.
What will all the money-hungry parents with future law suits do?
seriously?
..............huh
Ok.
He hadn't done anything entertaining for a while, anyway.
According to superstition, entertainers always die in threes.Originally Posted by keiko
And, um, space and time travel theme park??!?! Sounds fun!

So that makes them kinda like, gambling pimps?
Parents suck. Molesting kids is one thing, but at least do it on their own terms.
Gambling pimps is exactly right. ESPECIALLY, after the first court case.Originally Posted by Raza
I guess little boys aren't the fountain of youth he thought they were...

so, how long till the first Jacko sighting?
Poor MJ. He didn't know that to stay young you have to eat the souls of young boys, not the asses.
With everyone due their ticket fees back, AEG (who were promoting the 50+ London gigs) stand to lose close to $50m even if all their insurance pays out. If it doesn't, they may well fold.

One word...
"Demerol"
Fuck the first MJ sighting. When's the Publishers Clearing Funeral Home sweepstakes start?
And now Billy Mays A.K.A. "The OxiClean" guy.
*punches wall*

I am sad to see him go...but I am keeping all the records so I can dance around in my underwear.
Apparently Christmas was early and they got Billy Mays. Hell....I think he was a better actor than Swayze anyway. He made you believe all those bullshit products could work. That's superb acting!Originally Posted by Toe Cutter
last i checked this month alone, the count is up to around 8 celeb/quasi celeb/no longer valid as a celeb but still was a celeb at some point in time(s) dying.Originally Posted by HeadlessBill
hopefully michael bay is next.
beyond this there appear to be reports of "dozens" of ordinary people committing suicide 'cos they can't go on without himOriginally Posted by malcolm
Meh; I suppose dying vicariously is only the logical next step. Besides, if they had that little identity of their own, who's gonna notice?

Now Britney Spears too... wtf is happening with celebrities?!?
Btw, he wasn't even aware of signing 50 concerts. His own manager tricked him to sign by saying it's 10. That's what I heard.... And what's up with the chopper video when he apparently raises?
I've also heard he's got a house next to Elvis on the moon. Now they can hang out together.
Spears turned out to be a hoax... but Karl Malden died today.Originally Posted by OliX
