Per TMZ:
We've just learned Michael Jackson has died. He was 50.
Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.
A source tells us Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived.
Full details here.
Can´t really believe that - it is a shocking surprise.
If it is true, rest in peace.

From what I can tell, the paramedics were able to revive him. But I might be wrong.
Apparently he was actually rushed to an hospital and was in coma, but is still alive, at the moment i am writing this.
I think perhaps he has just been hospitalized

While we are on this kind of news, i didn't see a thread about Farrah Fawcett, who passed away today.
One of Charlie's Angels actually became one.
Rest in Peace, Farrah.
Speaking Farrah Fawcett passing away today...
My mind sometimes wanders to strange places and looks for connections at times like this.
Tatum O'neal was once good friends with MJ, and stripped naked before him at age 19, only to be turned down with a request for continued friendship. Her father Ryan was Farrah's long time lover.
So if MJ passed today, Tatum has two people to mourn.
RIP one and all.

Thank you Seldriss, I know I've been through this before so if I ask again in a few months just pat me on the head and show me again.
Michael and Farrah in the same day, I truly feel old now.
CNN is on the phone with the L.A. Coroner at the moment, confirming the death.

I am so in shock over this...
I grew up on Michael's Music, I was such a huge fan of his, all the way through the release of Bad.
I still get excited when I see his old live performances on TV. Like when he first introduced the moon walk.. that is classic MJ and I still get excited when I see it.
His later oddities tarnished his latter career for myself, but never tarnished the greatness he was in the 80s.
Rest in Peace Micheal
Yeah, it's a shock.
I think I love the Thriller video as much today as I did back then.
I never cared much for the man, personally. But I know he brought happiness to many people and I respect that.

I always liked, well - loved his music, and grew up within a world where MJ was the only REAL superstar!
I've never seen him live on stage (which I regred), and wasn't an über-fan.
But now I know how people felt when Elvis died, and why they grieved.
I can't say why, but it hurts me that he's gone.
RIP
He was very talented, and left behind some impressive music.
R.I.P.

To be honest, I had forgotten he was still alive. Of course, I agree with many that he was a musical genius and entertainer of the highest caliber. I've often heard that his concerts were extremely bad ass.
I still remember the world premier of the Thriller video. I was geeking out when I heard Vincent Price's voice.
Anyway - R.I.P. Mr. Jackson.
I'm really glad to see that others are upset about his death. It was kind've weird in my office. After the announcement of his death, there were a few comments about his nose, and then people started dancing around the office, singing his songs. At that moment, I couldn't decide if people were celebrating his music, or the fact that he died.
Personally, I always loved the man's music, even when it wasn't popular. I don't know how the world will remember him, but regardless, I will always remember him for his music. Rest in peace, Michael. We will miss you.
I'm sorry, but I'm not too heart broken than an unrepetent child molestor has died. Now he'll get to see what Jesus really thought about his "Jesus Juice". I like several of his earlier songs and I still listen to them. And I am not going to celebrate his death, as the death of any human is not something to be celebrated, but neither am I going to hold him up as a better person than he was just because he died.

I'd like to believe he was acquitted because he was innocent, and so I give him the benefit of the doubt.

Him and OJ, both.
Him and OJ, both.
Difference being, Ron Goldman didn't stand up in court and say "OJ never killed me: see, I'm not dead." With the victims unable to talk, it's easier for reasonable doubt to creep in.
OTOH, didn't that McLucky Cluckin kid say "never happened," about MJ? And doesn't that kid have enough money from Home Alone I - XXVI that he's unlikely to take bribes to lie about it?
I'm not saying that MJ didn't do it, just that it's more than a bit presumptive to avow he did.

Wow...nobody saw that comparison coming. Nope; not at all.
I hope for your sake you're never acquitted of something, only to find you never recover from the damage wrought by every random person who is "sure" you're guilty. You know, 'cause OJ did it, so you must have.
Classy.

Absolutely.
I'm proud to say that I don't take well to people presuming others are guilty of horrible crimes (despite acquittal), and then gloating when those people die.
But YMMV (obviously).

I am not gloating. I am sorry you feel so strongly about this situation that you can not see that. As for presuming guilt, Jackson did in 1994 setting a civil suit for the first accusation, paying the child and his family and their lawyers $22 million. While that is not necessarily a claim of guilt, it does make innocence look questionable.

Oh please; keep your disingenuous "apology" to yourself. Further, your assertions of the strength (or lack thereof) of my feelings are irrelevant, serving only to distract from the matter at hand (which was no doubt intended).
I don't care about Micheal Jackson in particular, but he was acquitted. To me, that means something. You've obviously made up your mind he was guilty. Good for you. But saying that now he's going to get what's coming to him:
Now he'll get to see what Jesus really thought about his "Jesus Juice".
gloating, plain and simple. And it was tasteless, rude, and unnecessary to come into this thread and do it.
I'm "sorry" if pointing that out makes you uncomfortable.
Fellas, why the need to argue?
Would you we willin' to come on my show and talk about this?

I'm sorry, and I'm sure you mean well, but some things just aren't laughing matters. Popping into a RIP thread and gleefully exclaiming the deceased is now going to get what's coming to him just ain't OK.
Sorry Bugley, just thought I'd attempt some humor.

No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you. I think I need to step away from the computer for a bit.
No problem. Sometimes we all need a break from that leering, one-eyed taskmaster.

That's what I call my junk.
Damn. That's right. I have two such taskmaskters. Well, at least I'm only connected physically to one of them, but my wife might say at this point I'm connected to both.
LOL. At this point meaning, right this second? ;)
Well Paizo is a damn sexy site. I can't blame ya.
No...not this moment. She's at work! But yesterday, "Are you talking to your game friends...again?"
Re Jade on the Site: That's true, but there's sexy, and then there's SEXY. It's best not to get the two confused. (Cf. My posting about "monsters" yesterday.)

So noted! ;)
He faked his death.
