RIP. Pretty shocking.

EDIT: CNN isn't confirming a death though, btw.

Say it ain't so! Now I need to find a new babysitter for my nephew.

CNN is just saying that he was hospitalized...

A gossip site? Google sez that he's been rushed to the hospital and isn't breathing but as to his death? Nothing yet.

No, TMZ is just an internet celebrity tabloid rag.

According to BBC and CNN, Jackson is in the Hospital, apparently in ciritical condition. We Don't know anything more

Edit: Dammit, that's what I get for stopping to check sources.

Going to go out on a limb here and say TMZ is probably right.

 

[Imperialmajesty]

If he survives, he might very well live out the rest of his life as a vegetable.

Sad if true. Thriller was the first tape I ever bought and I loved MJ back in the day. (Still love his old stuff).

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Just came across the news. MJ is dead.

 

[emzie]

Goodnight, sweet prince.

 

[Bill3000]

Just came across the news. MJ is dead.

What station? Still not showing on CNN.

 

[Miles Teg]

Just came across the news. MJ is dead.

Sorry, in this country a man ain't dead until CNN reports on it.

IDK, could be getting a new ticker.

I bet this get's more inquiry than Larry Summers writing the white paper on expanded FED powers and subsequently becoming Fed Chairman in 2010.

 

[warpus]

Whoa, really?

You know

1. I am not surprised
2. I wouldn't call this tragic
3. RIP, you crazy pedophile
