Not denying his talent - and I always felt sorry for his mental problems and the pressure of growing up in public.

But a kiddy fiddler is a kiddy fiddler - no loss to the human race seeing them die. It's well known I do not support the death penalty for any crime - but I ain't going to cry over this guy passing away.

This is definitely not fake. He did get a cardiac arrest. But is he dead or in a coma? Apparently he has been declared dead now.

He was never found guilty of child abuse. Yeah he was messed up in the end but I'm not going to believe unproven accusations just because he was strange and it was fun to hate on him.

He was never found guilty of child molestation so, all this is heresay or assumption really. After the family of the child (who's mother insisted no worngdoing by Jackson) got 22 million in cash they shut up. Case was thrown out for lack of evidence. Same with the other one. While I will never know the truth, I think at least one of these cases were an effort by some cunning people to gain cash. And when they got it, they stopped bitching.

Sadly, Farrah Fawcett has passed away, losing a long battle against cancer.

That sucks too, she fought hard though and it was nice to see her partner married her on her death bed.

Seems like its celeb death day today

..just watching it on TV.

Farrah deserves her own thread though..

I don't think that, given all that Jackson had done to himself, that he would have had a long life.

Earlier this week Ed McMahon (sp?) also died, though, he was 86 and had numerous heath issues, so that wasn't surprising.

Was a big fan circa 1985. 6th grade would not have been the same without MJ. Had talent that eventually became sorta lost behind being a public oddity. The episode of Southpark where it was spoofed him moving there remains one of the best, Ignorant! I hope his funeral has a 50 ft tall silver statue like that video. Farewell!
