Just heard this on my local news...and I'm really not sure how I feel about it.

I don't think anyone would be terrible surprised to hear it was faked, though.

It's on CNN now. They aren't saying he's dead, but in "bad shape"


I'm not a fan, but hope he's ok

I can't find any reputable news Website confirming Jacko is dead. At least yet anyway.

It would be pretty major to lose him and Farrah on the same day, though. And Ed McMahon went a couple days ago. They say these go in 3's.

I just read that MJ died on TMZ (local news/mainstream internet news has yet to report it) and I'm shocked. Putting aside his past, he was such an iconic musical figure. What a terrible, terrible loss. RIP.

Exclamation Micheal Jackson has been hospitalized...

Apparently he was choking on a small bone

But seriously, it happened.

Any news links?

Is it bad that I liked his music and that I will miss him?

i haven't seen a reputable news source report that he's dead, but there is confirmation that he's in the hospital, not doing well, after the heart attack.

I'm going to need a source more legit than TMZ to confirm this before I'm buying it.

How reputable is TMZ? Its run by Harvey Levin, and he's a lawyer, so I dont think he would allow such a lible suit against himself to happen by reporting false information.

Look at their Website and you tell me. Basically it's the online National Enquirer.
