I guess I'll never win the Publishers Clearing House now.

Famed U.S. television personality Ed McMahon has died, his agent said Tuesday. The former "Tonight Show" sidekick and "Star Search" host was 86.

CNN reported the news of the celebrity's death, but did not immediately say what the cause was. McMahon had been hospitalized since last month for cancer, NBC said.

R.I.P ANGEL....

Farrah Fawcett, whose stunning looks and blinding smile made her a pop icon of the 1970s, has died. She was 62. Her spokesman, Paul Bloch, says Fawcett died Thursday morning in a Santa Monica hospital. Her 2½-year battle with cancer was depicted in the TV documentary “Farrah’s Story.” TMZ.com is reporting that the actress' longtime companion, Ryan O'Neal, and Fawcett's friend, Alana Stewart, were with her at the time of her death.

Agreed, RIP Farrah

One of my childhood crushes since I caught Charlie's Angels on TV reruns. Owner of one of the most infectious smiles, and a bewitchingly beautiful woman.

R.I.P. indeed. This is a sad day for all lovers of blonde beauties. :(

i just heard michael jackson died of a heart attack .. is that for real ?





i'm sorry to see Farrah go.

like steve martin said : after all that time i spent - holding up her poster with one hend ..

Thriller no more
 

Michael Jackson reportedly died today. According to TMZ.com, the king of pop died after a cardiac arrest. He was rushed to the hospital but apparently dead on arrival.

I've not seen confirmation of the death yet - though all major news networks are reporting the emergency hospitalization.

There's the story.

Quite strange...

Yep, R.I.P. Michael Jackson.

woah. i just read on Yahoo that he was transported to the hospital for breathing problems, but i didnt know he was dead. holy shit. RIP. Im not a big fan but I was looking forward to hearing how he did in his comeback performance, I bet people are pretty pissed they spent all that money on the tickets and now he's dead.

LA Times reporting he's dead now.

CNN is reporting he's in a coma, but still alive.

I hope he suffers before he dies.
Fucking pedophile motherfucker:mad:

Reports now say he's dead.

damn straight



Sounds like he had a massive heart attack and dropped dead. He may have been talented once but I wont mourn his passing, that boy was dodgy as fuck.

Wow 2 just today. Then McMan yesterday or 2 days ago...famous deaths really do come in 3s. Although I was expecting Swaze.

Holy shit.....wasn't expecting that.
:eek:

there's no proof of that. personally i think he was innocent.

you mean besides the massive payouts he has sent to families who have accused him?

ding dong the witch is dead

On a side note, why do the US fire departments have their own paramedics? El Wacko was taken to hospital in an LAFD ambulance, why not regular paramedics? Whats the deal with the crossover in the emergency services?

I wasn't aware of that.

I thought he was great, one of my favorites. VERY sad news for me...

I'm glad that a man cleared of charges can still be bashed all the time. Guilty until proven innocent right?

That applies with everything. If not, people would not be arrested, and then put on trial.

Yes they would because arrested doesn't mean tried and prosecuted.


Dork.



All I know is that if a crime that heinous really happened and it only took money to keep it quiet then those parents should all be shot. Money can quickly silence people making false claims and then you avoid a lot of BS but I would think most parents couldn't put a price on letting somebody get away with that.

Maybe it was just so they would fuck off and leave him alone.
I mean I know he turned into quite the weirdo over the last 15 years, and I think his fascination with children was perhaps a little inappropriate from what the media has shown us, but I have to say that some of the cases against him were probably "taking that and running with it".
Not saying what he did or didn't, just that a lot of times people can make one thing out of another and then it can kind've avalanche, and yeah, I think that if a person had as many finances available to them as MJ probably did at a point, paying people that are going to drag you through the mud and into court time and again might've been something of an easier option...guilty, or not.

For me, MJ was the "music I grew up with" being born in the early 80's.
Didn't much like his post mid-90's stuff, and yeah even if you don't look at the court cases and allegations against him he did become one weird character, and was the posterboy for "parental abuse case" more than likely what made him slowly turn into the creature he became.
Listening to his songs of old, I will feel a pang of remorse that the musical force beside them is no longer of this earth.
RI(finally, hopefully)P

Farrah Fawcett, nice looking chick in her day but never much watched a great deal of things with her in it. Charlies Angels was pretty fun from what I saw of it, so fun show, good looking chick, gotta respect that.
RIP too.

In other news, I found my rat dead this morning...sharing her deathday with the aforementioned.
R.I.P little one, I will miss you being around :(


So...I noticed there's now rumours about Jeff Goldblum? Apparently they're being denied at this time though.

Whatever or whoever the person was behind the scenes, he was a well and true complete entertainer (THE icon) on the stage and on-screen. Most of his 80s-90s stuff was what I used to gape at throughout my childhood years, and I m not hesitant to admit it that I found the man extremely talented in terms of singing AND dance.

R.I.P. Michael.

This is weirding me out a little since we were the same age. I still remember the first time I saw the Jackson Five on TV. I believe it was the Ed Sullivan Show, and being mezmerised (sp?) by Michael's voice and the choreography. Throughout the years I always enjoyed Michael's music. Thriller is still my favorite album of his and my favorite video of his (of course). In later years, he got very weird - I will never understand why he had to change his appearance, he was a handsome guy - but I still enjoyed his music.

Rest in peace, Michael. I hope you have the peace you were always looking for.

From what I read about his childhood, I think the emotional scars he received back then from his father's constant abuse never really healed, but only got worse with age. His eccentric behaviour and odd lifestyle might be attributed to that.

The man was a music genius, no question...and usually geniuses are somewhat eccentric. So that could be a reason too.

And then there were the cases of the broken nose and burning hair and vitiligo. So many factors which added to the complexity of his persona.

Goodbye to a strange little man. He was the Elvis of the 80's - I wonder if there will be Jackson impersonators the way there are Elvis impersonators?

For the record I don't think he did those kids. False molestation accusations are not uncommon.

Firefighters are trained EMT's, it's very useful since they often have to deal with injured people during fires, and when there isn't a fire they can respond to ordinary medical emergencies.

Amen, brother.

Sorry about your rat. :(

Weird man with a weird face. I'm not sad he died, but not happy. He was just a person who should have grown the hell up a long time ago. I don't care if he had a bad childhood, if he can't see that he's doing just as bad things to his children then he didn't deserve them.

It's not nice that he died but he was past fame for his music, and was just wacko jacko. The real Michael Jackson died many years ago...

I wouldn't say that. The coverage that his death is receiving and fan outpouring is from his music, not accusations and some of the silly things he's done. He'd have still been famous without the BS. He has a number one, double platinum album this decade. And as far as the accusations go.. if you hurt my child in anyway, you wouldn't be able to pay me enough, so whatever the fuck ever.

Rest in peace.

That's about the best way I've seen it put. I loved Thriller as a kid, but I never really got into Jackson's music outside of that. I never understood him in anyway. I just wonder about his kids, though. What are they going through or are going to go through. He did one thing well, and that was keep them out of the media circus.

The media is cruel. Very very cruel.

Well said, Austin. My sister and I were talking about this today. She has 3 kids...well, adults now....and I put that same question to her: "If you were the parent making the accusation, would he be able to buy you off if he actually did it?" And her answer was an emphatic "NO!"

Like I said earlier, he and I were the same age, technically he was a year older. So, we kind of "grew up" together. I've always been a fan of the Jackson Five and Michael.

And you are very correct about the media.

That's the effect that the death of a celebrity has.

A few years ago, I bet half the people phoning in to radio shows mourning his death would have been quite happy to mock and laugh at him. Look at Jade Goody. Everyone hated her until she got cancer, then loads of people suddenly loved her:confused:

That isn't to say he did have a huge fan base. He had a hell of a lot of supporters at the trial and will always have those faithful to him. I just think it's helped people remember the old Michael, because they want to remember him in a good way because he's dead, and a lot of people don't agree with being cruel about the dead.

No one will ever know the real truth. Honestly, I don't care one way or the other.

I will say this though, if you hate someone while they are alive, why change because they died? Still the same person. I don't see the point of respecting someone you hate, just because they aren't there to hate.

Yes, it's a nice gesture to a family, when their loved one dies, to pull over while the funeral cars go by. But I don't see where it should be a law. If you didn't like that person, why should one be forced to respect them?

:rolleyes:

Ditto.

There were times in 80's and early 90's where some people here in BD only understand & know about western or American music by the name MICHALE JACKSON! A true legend & complete entertainer who will be remembered & heard from generation to generation in almost every corner of the world.

There have not a single phenomenal pop track produced yet and never will be like his incomparable Just beat it to Dirty Diana.

R.I.P MJ!

A great entertainer with an unfortunate life...

RIP

It's sad yes.

But personally the death of Heath Ledger last year hit me much harder.

Probably because: Michael was pretty much a has-been when he died, I've never digged his music since the first solo albums, and... he's black.
















Ps. The black thing was a joke. Geez, calm down people. :rolleyes:
