	Whoa
	1) Farrah Fawcett Dies of Cancer at 62. 2) Michael Jackson dies of a heart attack? (TMZ); Report: Michael Jackson suffers cardiac arrest (CNN). TMZ's awful, but they're awful because they resort to the tackiest means to get the truth. Which means... it's likely to be true. ETA: LA Times reporting death, CNN not confirming. "Updated at 3:15 p.m.: Pop star Michael Jackson was pronounced dead by doctors this afternoon after arriving at a hospital in a deep coma, city and law enforcement sources told The Times." Wolf Blitzer's currently on CNN going on and on about comas, which was the LA Times report five minutes ago. ETA: Everyone's confirming it now, and the entire internet has gone down. ETA: ONTD seems to have been locked down so as not to take all of LJ down with it. I assume it's a temporary suspension for that reason, but I don't know. (Okay, I'm hearing now that it is a temporary measure.) ETA: No one died climbing in New Zealand, okay? Not Jeff Goldblum, not Harrison Ford, not Zac Efron. If there's the least grain of truth to it, TMZ will have it ~~and then CNN will finally get someone to talk to them an hour later~~. Tags: deaths

I've seen numerous articles elsewhere as well. It's true. Pretty sure anyway.

I know he had his problems and things got crazy in the later years but... I grew up dancing around to his music and I had my Thriller record album propped open next to my bed. I just want to cry.

sites going in and out: twitter, ONTD, and now goddamn facebook.

I find it hard to mourn a child molestor, but 50 is way too young. and if any of those unverified suicide rumors are true...damn.

Yeahif the rumours are true and he had gotten so desperate that suicide was his only way out then I feel awful for him.

Whatever their past actions, (and as someone who doesn't believe in an afterlife)I don't think anyone deserves death.

Which was to be expected, I bet ONTD just crushed LJ.

Wow. He was a great artist, if not such a great human being. I'm sorry his life had to end this way.

The man may have had his quirks but he was still a legend.

Sad passing!

Dear Universe,

Please to be cutting this mess out, the internet cannot take much more of this.

Sincerely,
A very sad person who regrets not buying a Michael Jackson album earlier.

Aw, dammit. The man had boarded the SS Crazy years ago, but I grew up listening to the Jackson 5 & The Osmonds and nobody can deny the impact he had on the world of Pop. Thriller is still one of my favorite videos and albums.

Also, he was only a few years older then me. Which is scary.

I heard they rushed him to Children's Hospital so they could donate his organ.

...too soon?

Damn. I was hoping Farrah was going to beat the cancer.

Michael had such a troubled life, but no one can deny how important he was for music.

Man, it is impossible to get on ONTD right now. It's just such a shock to have two major celebrity deaths happen on the same day.

I don't believe in not talking ill of the dead. Just because someone dies, it doesn't automatically make them a saint. Michael Jackson was batshit crazy and I am not entirely convinced he didn't molest those kids, but I have to admit the man was a musical genius and a cultural icon.

Whoa. I knew Farrah was horribly sick, but I had no idea that MJ wasn't doing well. Crazy.

ETA: Oh god what? Ryan O'Neal asked her to marry him yesterday, and they never made it? Ok, really wibbly now.
