Michael Jackson dead at 50.

LOS ANGELES - Michael Jackson, the moonwalking former child star who became known the world over as the "King of Pop" before his life and career deteriorated in a freakish series of scandals, died Thursday, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. He was 50. The person said Jackson died in a Los Angeles hospital. The person was not authorized to speak publicly and requested anonymity.

The circumstances of his death were not immediately clear. Jackson was not breathing when Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to a call at his Los Angeles home about 12:30 p.m., Capt. Steve Ruda told the Los Angeles Times. The paramedics performed CPR and took him to UCLA Medical Center, Ruda told the newspaper.

Jackson's death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was popular music's premier all-around performer, a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV, dominated the charts and dazzled even more on stage.

He was perhaps the most exciting performer of his generation, known for his feverish, crotch-grabbing dance moves, his high-pitched voice punctuated with squeals and titters. His single sequined glove and tight, military-style jacket were trademarks second only to his ever-changing, surgically altered appearance. Over the years, his skin became lighter and his nose narrower.

There were a couple songs of his that I liked. You bet it's going to be over the news, Internet, etc. for about a week....

Well I guess he finally... (beat it)..!!!!!

Tessie that is just right, you hit that nail right on the head i love it.

Reported cause of death was food poisoning....He ate 12 yr old nuts

He could deffinetly dance, maybe all the drugs so that he could be white had an effect on him also. John Travolta chin, skinny nise, and who know's how many other surgeries to his face.

On the serious side of all this ...What really gets me is how so many people act like he was some kind of god. This has completely taken over the news, which in itself is ridiculous, since North Korea has threatened to blow the U.S. off the map, and Iran is killing their own people because they are protesting. Just another example of why this country is going straight to hell. He was a musician and that's all. Not GOD, at least not my God.

You know it's really sad...This past week we lost 3 famous people....Ed McMahon...Farrah Fawcett....Michael Jackson...

Jackson better known as Chester the Molseter....They stopped Government business today for a moment of silence for him....

McMahon...During World War II, McMahon was a fighter pilot in the United States Marine Corps serving as a flight instructor and test pilot. He was a decorated pilot (six Air Medals) and was discharged in 1946, remaining in the reserves.

After college, McMahon returned to active duty. He met his first girlfriend, Jenifer P Smith, on his first tour. He claims that she was the one to motivate him to become a better person. He was sent to Korea in February 1952. He flew unarmed OE-1 Bird Dogs on 85 tactical air control and artillery spotting missions. He remained in the Marine Corps Reserve, retiring with the rank of Colonel in 1966 and was then commissioned as a Brigadier General in the California Air National Guard.


Fawcett....One of the most beautiful people to ever live...What a fighter she was...She never gave up....

Your not hearing about the other two....Just Chester The Molester.....
