Michael Jackson has passed away!!

[BillysBride]

I've only seen confirmed reports from the ambulance driver statements...nothing on him being dead yet.

 

As for allegations of molestation....I try not to go there if I don't truly know the situation. Dunno if he did it, hope he didn't and all I can do is respect the talent. Theres too much gossip, black mail, extortion, lies, and cover ups, hype for free publicity, misdirection and just plain b.s. in Hollywood for me to sit in judgement with any clarity to form an opinion.

Agreed.

So the local news is live outside and still won't say. TMZ could be wrong, but they just caution taped off the emg exit and the reporter said they have never seen that and clearly they are prepping for a major announcement. They are being very cautious, tmz doesn't do caution. So we shall see.

Okay the news just said latoya was seen running out of the e.r. crying...they are prepping for a press conference now but still have not officially said

This is so sad! I grew up to his music and remember how scared I was when my older brother used to make me watch the Thriller video. There is no doubt that he was a weird man, but I certainly respect his musical talent.

Yea, I'm trying to keep up too..

 

TMZ irritates me. On the one hand, they are saying that he was already gone when paramedics arrived and they never got a heartbeat back. On the other, they are saying they "just got off the phone with Joe Jackson who says "he's not doing well" If the man's son just died, why would he say that? Let alone to TMZ.

 

I'm thinking it's true, just don't like their reporting style. At any rate...RIP Mike...the world's talent margin will NEVER be the same.

 

*update* MSNBC is saying he is in a coma. I'd prefer to believe THEM vs. TMZ, but I guess we wait and see...
