Wow, 2 biggies in one day. Farrah does not surprise me since she has had cancer, but Michael J, that was a surprise.

Michael Jackson was my first concert at age 4 or 5. Just shocking that he has died. I wonder what will happen to his kids. I just read that most of the
networks are scrambling to have specials on tonight.

Very strange day. A friend put it like this: our childhood memories have taking a beating today. Boy, is she right.
RIP Farrah and Michael.
With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine...

A woman I didn't know, who just heard the news from a friend on her cell, stopped me on the street on my way out this evening in order to tell me. That one certainly came out of left field. Also, it's strange how often celebrity deaths seem to happen in threes...he's the third of three including Ed McMahon & Farrah. |

Yeah, two icons died today, very strange.
I had a huge crush on Michael Jackson when I was kid. He is in the Jackson Five at the time and I thought he was so cute. |

Never understood the deep emotions celebrities elicit from some people. It's so odd.
Maybe that explains my fascination with this place for so long

This is a drawing I made of MJ when I was 7. I drew on sunglasses I guess because I wanted him to look more "cool".

Not sure I'd have known that was Michael or not, but it's a cute drawing for a kid to make.
I wonder when the last time two celebs of this magnitude died on the exact same day. May their families find peace. |

It sure would have been nice for CNN to lay off the drug abuse conspiracy theories until at least AFTER the autopsy...they were at it first thing this morning.
He died, it's tragic, but like others I'm more shocked than saddened in any way.

It makes me sad about MJ, but also angry in a way. He was so extraordinarily gifted, and I feel like those gifts obligated him to protect them, and he
didn't seem able to do so. I feel like if he was going to be around such a short time, he shouldn't have wasted so much of it on his self-indulgent
eccentricities. Unreasonable expectations, I'm sure, but that's what I'm feeling.

When I heard that MJ had been taken to the hospital my first thought was that it was an over dramatic reaction to FF death. But of course it turned out to be
other wise. This is the only time I can honestly say I feel worry for a celebrites kids. I hope he did right by them.

It sure would have been nice for CNN to lay off the drug abuse conspiracy theories until at least AFTER the autopsy...they were at it first thing this morning.Those theories have been around for a long time. A family friend and lawyer came forward with news that his family and staff were enablers. He was once on painkillers and became addicted.....he entered rehab for that, but with his repeated injuries, I"m sure he was back on them. Not new news at all. Something about him being on 8 prescription drugs? Sound a lot like Heath's death to me. He was really fucked up and couldn't help himself most of the time and he was surrounded by sycophants who granted every wish, just like Anna Nicole and Heath I agree with this so much. Unlike most celebrities and so-called entertainers, MJ really was talented. He wrote a lot of his own music and I think choreographed his dance moves.

Lisa Marie Presley: Michael Jackson "Knew" He Would Die Young Lisa Marie Presley, who was married to Michael Jackson for 20 months following their 1994 wedding, posted the following statement (titled "He Knew") on her MySpace blog one day after the singer's death: "Years ago Michael and I were having a deep conversation about life in general. "I can't recall the exact subject matter but he may have been questioning me about the circumstances of my Father's Death..... "At some point he paused, he stared at me very intensely and he stated with an almost calm certainty, 'I am afraid that I am going to end up like him, the way he did.'.... "I promptly tried to deter him from the idea, at which point he just shrugged his shoulders and nodded almost matter of fact as if to let me know, he knew what he knew and that was kind of that..... "14 years later I am sitting here watching on the news an ambulance leaves the driveway of his home, the big gates, the crowds outside the gates, the coverage, the crowds outside the hospital, the Cause of death and what may have led up to it and the memory of this conversation hit me, as did the unstoppable tears..... "A predicted ending by him, by loved ones and by me, but what I didn't predict was how much it was going to hurt when it finally happened..... "The person I failed to help is being transferred right now to the LA County Coroners office for his Autopsy..... "All of my indifference and detachment that I worked so hard to achieve over the years has just gone into the bowels of hell and right now I am gutted..... "I am going to say now what I have never said before because I want the truth out there for once..... "Our relationship was not 'a sham' as is being reported in the press. It was an unusual relationship, yes, where two unusual people who did not live or know a 'Normal life' found a connection, perhaps with some suspect timing on his part. Nonetheless, I do believe he loved me as much as he could love anyone and I loved him very much..... "I wanted to 'save him' I wanted to save him from the inevitable, which is what has just happened..... "His family and his loved ones also wanted to save him from this as well but didn't know how and this was 14 years ago. We all worried that this would be the outcome then..... "At that time, In trying to save him, I almost lost myself. .... "He was an incredibly dynamic force and power that was not to be underestimated..... "When he used it for something good, It was the best and when he used it for something bad, It was really, REALLY bad..... "Mediocrity was not a concept that would even for a second enter Michael Jackson's being or actions..... "I became very ill and emotionally/spiritually exhausted in my quest to save him from certain self-destructive behavior and from the awful vampires and leeches he would always manage to magnetize around him. .... "I was in over my head while trying..... "I had my children to care for, I had to make a decision..... "The hardest decision I have ever had to make, which was to walk away and let his fate have him, even though I desperately loved him and tried to stop or reverse it somehow..... "After the Divorce, I spent a few years obsessing about him and what I could have done different, in regret..... "Then I spent some angry years at the whole situation..... "At some point, I truly became Indifferent, until now..... "As I sit here overwhelmed with sadness, reflection and confusion at what was my biggest failure to date, watching on the news almost play by play The exact Scenario I saw happen on August 16th, 1977 happening again right now with Michael (A sight I never wanted to see again) just as he predicted, I am truly, truly gutted..... "Any ill experience or words I have felt towards him in the past has just died inside of me along with him..... "He was an amazing person and I am lucky to have gotten as close to him as I did and to have had the many experiences and years that we had together..... "I desperately hope that he can be relieved from his pain, pressure and turmoil now..... "He deserves to be free from all of that and I hope he is in a better place or will be..... "I also hope that anyone else who feels they have failed to help him can be set free because he hopefully finally is..... "The World is in shock but somehow he knew exactly how his fate would be played out some day more than anyone else knew, and he was right..... "I really needed to say this right now, thanks for listening....." "The tears of the world are a constant quality. For each one who begins to

There are a lot of celebs who have passed that I mourned deeply, but Michael Jackson wasn't one of them. As a performer, he left me cold and after
the incidents of child abuse (including when he dangled his young baby over a balcony and NOTHING was done about that), the less I saw of him the better. I
think he was indulged and spoiled and had a bigger opinion of himself than was warranted. I certainly don't "get" the assertions that I've
heard more than once that he was "bigger" than Elvis Presley or any of the Beatles! Now THOSE were people who made music and sung unforgettably. I
guess it's just a matter of opinion, but it's my

well, in reality, there was nothing anyone could do about the child dangling, it wasn't really abuse.
I just thought he was charismatic and a great great dancer. And so fucked up, he didn't even know it or get help. I can easily forgive someone based on that. It's the malicious shit that's disgusting JMO "The tears of the world are a constant quality. For each one who begins to

Huh? Endangering a child's life wasn't abuse?? Whatever....
