As you well know by now, Michael Jackson died today. (age 50)
Farrah Fawcett died today, too. (age 62)
The news is reporting heart issues for Michael’s death.
I’m wondering…who was with him at the time of his death…or,
if he was home alone, who found him?
Ryan O’Neal was at Farrah’s bedside when she passed, so the news reports.
I heard on the news this morning that Farrah had died, but had no idea about Michael Jackson!
I feel bad for Farrah’s loved ones. I’m sure she’ll be missed.
I can’t bring myself to mourn the loss of a child molester though.
My heart goes out to both their families and loved ones.
Michael dying threw me for a loop…but yeah…he was such a weirdo…a talented weirdo, but a weirdo none the less…
His music was enjoyed by so many generations of ppl, not to mention all around the world…I didn’t put much thought into it, but I couldn’t believe he was 50…for some reason I thought he was younger…shrugs
I’ve only just woken up and just come online when I had seen the headlinds on my yahoo news that both stars had died.
In the 70s I loved them both.
R.I.P both of you.
I agree, Mason. I do feel bad for all three families, let’s not forget Ed McMahon.
I have sympathy for the families and their loss of a loved one.
Michael Jackson was a perverted freak and I am not mourning his loss. All the talent in the world does not compensate for terrible things he has done. The reports this morning keep saying “putting his personal life aside he was a great artist”. That is simply crap; he legacy is the pain he inflicted on innocent children and that is what he should be remembered for.
Michael Jackson was eccentric at the very least, but I don’t think that he was actually found guilty of molesting any children.
Knitting Guy, I’m with you! Every news story is about this child molester and how talented he was…blah blah blah…he MOLESTED CHILDREN!!! When is this country going to punish and condemn the wrong doers and praise/reward those who try, day by day to do the right thing, live an honest life, work at a honest and legal job, pay their taxes (don’t get me started!), and struggle to make ends meet? This country is absolutely going in the wrong direction.
In a way it’s kinda a blessing that these two died on the very same day. At least Farah’s family can mourn their loss in peace while all the media hound MJ’s family.
Did anyone think that people use the “child molestation” issues to seek money from him since he’s a high profile celebrity and he has lots of money.
I think he was forced to grow up and work at a young age and he never had a childhood, i don’t think we should judge him.
Yes. I think there is a good possibility of that. I can’t judge him either and in any case regardless the family is the one left behind. I feel for them.
Not to mention the fact that he was found not guilty of the charges by a jury.
I don’t believe in speaking ill of the dead. RIP MJ, Ed, and Farrah.
I guess the coroners are gonna keep picking at his remains until they are satisfied how and why Mr. Jackson died. It seems suspicious from what I’ve heard on the news.
Let’s face it, for years and years, everything has gone south for Michael Jackson. Now it’s just about as far south as it can get.
Not commenting on his private life…but his ability to sing and perform were unparalleled! No one will ever forget his music. Kinda like Elvis Presley’s music, and the music of the Beatles. They were all one-of-a-kind. Elvis’s private life went south, too.
DH and I were lamenting that we didn’t see him in concert before he died. :doh:
Ok, I just have to say something…Typically I’d probably keep my mouth shut on the issue of MJ, but, possibly because I’m dealing with a death in my own family (the same day MJ and Farrah died) I feel so inclined to say something in regards to the media hype surrounding MJ.
I’m sorry but I just cannot mourn the loss of him. Is it sad? Yes, death is a sad thing, but, despite him being found “not guilty” by a jury, he still settled with a family for something like 20 million dollars, at some point. If you were totally innocent of such charges, would you settle for 20 million?! What’s there to settle if you’re truly not guilty?!
Even if he was truly not guilty, at the least, he had some weird obsession with young boys.
Anyway, I don’t want to start an argument about this topic and like I said, typically I wouldn’t say a word and probably the only reason I have is because of my frame of mind dealing with the death in my family but I’m just tired of hearing about him and how great he was.
Did everybody hear that Billy Mays died today too?!?! What the heck is going on???
I too heard this. Here’s what I’ve read so far about him. Please note I’m not saying that he died from a head injury, just repeating what I’ve read so far.
"U.S. Airways confirmed Sunday that Mays was among the passengers on a flight that made a rough landing on Saturday afternoon at Tampa International Airport, leaving debris on the runway after apparently blowing its front tires.
Tampa Bay’s Fox television affiliate interviewed Mays after the incident.
“All of a sudden as we hit you know it was just the hardest hit, all the things from the ceiling started dropping,” MyFox Tampa Bay quoted him as saying. “It hit me on the head, but I got a hard head.”

Well if celebs die in 3s and it started with Ed McMan, then Farrah and Wacko Jacko. Then who’s after Billy??? Maybe infomercial people die in groups too??? Yikes!
