Michael Jackson dies at age 50 from cardiac arrest

[bychance]

I'm beginning to think Bad was his solo best tour, not Dangerous (its on DVD). Albeit the dancing was phenomenal in the HIStory tour, he nearly lip synced the whole set list.

(Watch in HQ).

Nothing beats Triumph though.

They'll probably put it on DVD now.

Where does this Chaunce Hayden get this information? I have never heard of Michael Jackson harming his children.

...I refuse to jump on the "rest in peace, we love you, Michael" bandwagon and shed tears...

Some of us are riding the "I'm indifferent to Michael Jackson's death" bandwagon.

They must know something we don't know, clearly.

I wish he had continued to sing like this later on instead of the gibberish in the 90s. I've never seen or heard this song before, but I'm probably not old enough to remember it anyway. I'm beginning to really appreciate the pre solo stuff now.

^ Shut up, do not speak badly of MJ. Sorry, I will be the weirdo I liked him.

I refuse to jump on the "rest in peace, we love you, Michael" bandwagon and shed tears over someone who was so f-ing despicable. How quickly the world forgets or conveniently chooses not to remember.
Allow me to quickly recap the life of this troubled superstar: Michael Jackson was a pedophile. Michael Jackson was a drug addict. Michael Jackson
abused his own children both physically and emotionally. Michael Jackson was a deadbeat who owed millions in unpaid bills. Oh yeah, and Michael Jackson could sing and dance like a motherf--ker. And now, he's dead. Boo hoo. What surprises me is how long this frail child molester was able to physically walk the earth. Let's face it; Michael, for all intent and purpose, had left the human race years ago as he morphed into one of his Thriller video characters before our very eyes. But like the "Emperor's New Clothes," the world chose to ignore the true horror of this self-mutilated beast.
For 50 years, this soft-spoken mummy moonwalked his way through life leaving a trail of victims in his wake. God knows how many brainwashed boys were befriended by the ghoulish performer with the lure of cash, toys, exotic pets and an alcohol concoction Michael cleverly called "Jesus Juice" to loosen 'em up before a night of debauchery. Imagine your own child lying in bed next to Michael wondering why the room is spinning while a wig-wearing 5'10", 115-pound grown man in clown makeup gropes at his innocence. Yet, we cry for this animal as if Christ himself was crucified before our eyes. Please, spare me.
Someone should have put Michael out of his misery many years ago. A stake through the heart would have been more merciful than to allow this half-human/half plastic thing to slither through his backyard amusement park, hunting for his pubescent prey. In the end, I believe Michael himself knew what he had become and made the choice to put a stop to the madness. While the word "suicide" has yet to be brought up between all the blind tears, it's my hope that Michael, in an effort to stop himself from hurting any other child, put an end to his own miserable existence.
I will not mourn the death of Michael Jackson no more than I would mourn the death of any pedophile that hunts down children for deviant pleasure...Regardless of his musical abilities.
Tonight, as I write this column, my heart and tears go out to those children who grew up much too soon thanks to the "King of Pop."

BRAVO!!! That pretty much sums it up for me, with this quote standing out a particularly stellar:

Imagine your own child lying in bed next to Michael wondering why the room is spinning while a wig-wearing 5'10", 115-pound grown man in clown makeup gropes at his innocence.

I wonder if he did off himself to stop himself from interfering with the older boy.

^ That's the thing, how many people actually know the evidence against him? Most people hate him because it was said. It's MJ, he was accused once, people could ride on that. I just have to know for a fact before I speak of that against someone. I know a friend that got labeled as that and in know way was. It's fucked up. But, again I sound like a fantard so I will shut up and let you all talk. haha

Update:

MJ's memorial service is Tuesday @10:00 a.m. at the Staples Center.

11,000 free tickets will be handed out to the public.

Not sure how they will disperse the tickets. I am about 2 hrs away, not that I would go. You know my celebrity bashing ass will DVR it if it's on TV.

[buttmunch]

^^YOu really need to get one of those tickets and go. Seriously, I'll pay you to go.

I couldn't get off work even if I wanted to. Maybe I'll find out how to get a free ticket. I could then sell the ticket on Ebay after the funeral and make a few $$. HA!

I guess there is supposed to be a press conference tomorrow morning explainig how this ticket process will work.

Did you see the casket they ordered? It's like $25,000. Here's a link to TMZ for the photo.

I also heard he will be buried in his red military type jacket and his one sequined glove. Maybe he'll also be sporting his pajama pants that he wore to one of his court dates back in '05.

And here is an article from radaronline.com:

After nearly a day of family members arguing, the Jackson family has dropped their plan to charge the public $25 to attend a memorial service for Michael Jackson at Staples Center.
RadarOnline.com broke the news of the family’s plan to charge the public and many fans were outraged. The family was not going to announce they were charging for several more days. Backed into a corner by the bad publicity, family members had heated closed door discussions and many arguments on Thursay. They blamed a close family associate for leaking the news and decided the only way they could save face with fans was to drop the plan to charge.
The family is in turmoil not over the memorial but also the will and how it will be administered by the executor, attorney John Branca. Randy, LaToya, Jermaine and Janet are pushing their mother Katherine to fight certain aspects of the will involving how the money will be distributed. Other family members want them to leave Katherine alone because they believe she is too fragile for a battle. A family meeting is planned for Friday.

Family infighting? Who would have thought.
