You can have the nose, I claim the glove.
BBC (TV) covered the story said Heart attack, they expect more details to emerge throughout the night, no word on his condition
It's currently on CNN but they have no news on his current condition, only that he wasn't breathing when the LA Fire Dep't paramedics got to him.
[s]Billie Jean is not my lover.[/s] Grim Reaper at my door.
Sounds better.
Sounds better.
LA Times
Much too young for a fatal heart attack, he's only my sister's age.
I suppose there will be the die-hard fans standing outside the hospital with kitschy "Michael - We U!" signs and other paraphernalia. Then again, if he does die the autopsy video will sky-rocket on youtube and leave the alien bisection far behind. How bitchy of him to do this the day Farah Fawcett died.
Pop star Michael Jackson was rushed to a hospital this afternoon by Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics.
Capt. Steve Ruda said paramedics responded to a call at Jackson's home around 12:26 p.m. He was not breathing when they arrived. The parademics performed CPR and took him to UCLA Medical Center, Ruda told The Times.
[Updated at 2:12 p.m.: Paramedics were called to a home on the 100 block of Carolwood Drive off Sunset Boulevard. Jackson rented the Bel Air home for $100,000 a month. It was described as a French chateau estate built in 2002 with seven bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, 12 fireplaces and a theater.
The home is about 2 minutes away from UCLA Medical Center.]
The news comes as Jackson, 50, was attempting a comeback after years of tabloid headlines, most notably his trial and acquittal on child molestation charges.

I wouldn't worry. I'm sure he'll be out of the hospital and feeling like a kid again in no time at all.
I really dont care for this "alledged" kidddie fiddler, But today Farrah Fawcett majors died...
That is sad!
That is sad!
Maybe he's got swine flu?
Or he's just after some extra publicity? I know, I know, i'm going to burn in hell etc

Is it too soon to call dibs on his nose?
I want the monkey.
That monkey got sold off for scientific research a long time ago.
I'm so out of pop touch. I did hear the other day, however, that he has been working out for his tour. I guess he did his heart in with too much exercise? It can happen. For instance, my dad was riding his [own] bike ~ 35 miles a day and just died of heart failure. Scheit happens.
Wow, some hard bastards on this thread.

Wow... your dad was riding Michael Jacksons bike!!!
How cool is that?
I won't cry for the guy... he's a pedophile freak.
We're all going to go, sooner or later. Better a quick heart attack than years of anal cancer (Farrah Fawcett). I'd better start working out harder?

Absolutely, this is interesting as there seems to be a prevailing thought the more exercise you do the better shape you're going to be in. Conversely, the research is showing the more exercise you do this stresses your body and causes inflammation and an increase amount of cortisol in your blood system that could be detrimental.
Now back to Michael Jackson. All I care to know about Micheal Jackson is he's quite talented. Based on what's been said in the media on how he chose to live his life is not for me to judge or even comment on.

Jebus on Michael Jackson's bike! bluedave, if you think that we are evil, look what's going on in Jolly Old England:
P.S. The KTLA-TV comments are running rampant. It's nice to know that there are other sites where members revile each other over relatively trivial topics.
Tonight bookmakers William Hill suspended betting on how many gigs Jackson will do at the O2 in London.
