Michael Jackson Dead at 50

[whottt]

Yeah...I wonder how much money his albums have made just since his death.

IF he was working on album and they release, and of course we all know he was, whether it's been announced or not, it will probably outsell Thriller, in fact that's the probably the only way to outsell Thriller.

We're only talking probably close to a billion dollars, to a guy hundreds of millions of dolllars in debt, and heavens knows, no one ever tries to fake their own death, it only happens in movies.

The guy only called himself Peter Pan and lived in a place called never never land...obviously, he had every intention of growing old like the rest of us. And hey, that's what all the iconic stars do.


Sorry, but he is definitely capable of attempting something like this...


Guy wanted the normal life he never had as well...there was no way he was ever going to get it as Michael Jackson.

Again, I don't know that he did it, but to say he didn't have plenty of reasons to do it, not to mention the ego to attempt it, is pretty much putting yourself in total denial.

I've read over the cases several times and I've never seen anything that screams "guilty". You would think that one of these would be true:

1. Other people at the ranch could collaborate witness testimony
2. There would be one shred of physical evidence
3. The accuser or the accuser's parent(s) wouldn't be a nutjob
4. The accuser wouldn't have been mouthpiece for parent(s)

How does a child molesteing case of a high-profile person that is around 20-30 people a day personally not produce one piece of evidence? ONE? DNA/blood/semen/soiled undergarments/eye-witness/anything. Every time some kid made up a story it conflicted with someone elses. You know, a solid case doesn't work like that. People have alibis that match up, people collaborate and don't change their story, there is actual evidence other than heresay, so on and so on.

The piece of crap that accused is living in some $2 million dollar house under a difference name. Amazing. Just amazing.

A case that gets messed up looks like the OJ Simpson trial. You know, actual evidence and facts. R.I.P. MJ, he doesn't deserve the accusations that continue to this day. Yeah he did some messed up stuff with drugs and the baby and stuff, but at least that's real and not some obvious money-grabbing make-believe story concocted while your father put you under the influence of a drug used in WW2 to keep soliders fighting in a hypnotic trance.

I'm not sure whether on not MJ did fake his ownn death or not. But I do think that it is possible. I mean c'mon. Every store I went into this weekend were out of anything and everything MJ related. Now multiply that times 50, plus factor in the same thing happening worldwide. That would be MORE than enough to pay off his debts, and probably buy himself a remote island somewhere never to be seen again.

Oh and to the person who said that we will know for sure if he is dead or not because we will start hearing unreleased stuff all of the sudden, that doesn't really mean much. Artist sometimes have tons of unreleased stuff come out after they die. You have to remember that they spend half of their life in the studio. Ex:Tupac and Biggie.

Geeezus, no wonder most of his kids are screwed in the head. What in the is wrong with that guy?

[JoeChalupa]

It was quite a shock when I heard about MJ's passing. My kids are now realizing the great talent he was as I had told them time and time again that Usher, Justin Timberlake and Chris Brown all used MJ moves and now they finally understand.
RIP.

I was being sarcastic. That's the reason I've heard that there's no way 2pac is dead, because he's releasing new albums all the time. Like I said earlier, I think it's very possible for Michael to have faked his own death.

[Slomo]

...because he's releasing new albums all the time...

If I know anything about that little outfit called Sony music, I'd bet the same will now happen with MJ.

[ToughActinTinactin]

MJ was the good, the bad and the ugly all in one.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

on behalf of jamie foxx last night i'd like to thank the black people for sharing MJ with me.

This report from the Sun is scary, I don't know if it's true or not, but damn:



THE horrifying state of pop superstar Michael Jackson in his final days can be revealed by The Sun today.
Harrowing leaked autopsy details show the singer was a virtual skeleton — barely eating and with only pills in his stomach at the time he died.

His hips, thighs and shoulders were riddled with needle wounds — believed to be the result of injections of narcotic painkillers, given three times a day for years.

And a mass of surgery scars were thought to be the legacy of at least 13 cosmetic operations.

Experts found the distressing evidence of Jacko’s physical decline while investigating his startling death in Los Angeles last week.The examination showed the 5ft 10in star — once famed for his on-stage athleticism — had:

PLUNGED to a “severely emaciated” 8st 1oz. It is understood anorexic Jackson had been eating just one meagre meal a day.

Pathologists found his stomach empty aside from partially-dissolved pills he took before the painkiller injection which stopped his heart. Samples were sent for toxicology tests.

LOST virtually all his hair. The pop pin-up was wearing a wig when he died and pathologists said little more than “peach fuzz” covered his scalp.

A scarred section of skin above his left ear was entirely bald — apparently the result of a 1984 accident when his hair caught fire as he filmed an ad for Pepsi.

SUFFERED several broken ribs as frantic rescuers pumped his chest after he collapsed in cardiac arrest. Four injection sites were found above or near to Jacko’s heart.

All appeared to result from attempts to pump adrenaline directly into the organ in a failed bit to restart it.

Three of the injections had penetrated the heart wall — causing damage — but a fourth missed and hit one of the 50-year-old star’s ribs.

The autopsy also found unexplained BRUISING on Jackson’s knees and on the fronts of both shins. And there were CUTS on his back, indicating a recent fall.

The King of Pop’s once handsome face bore a network of plastic surgery scars, while the bridge to his nose had vanished and its right side had partially collapsed.

As inquiries into the tragedy last night focused on the star’s personal physician Dr Conrad Murray, a source close to the Jackson entourage said: “Michael’s family and fans will be horrified when they realise the appalling state he was in.

“He was skin and bone, his hair had fallen out and had been eating nothing but pills when he died. Injection marks all over his body and the disfigurement caused by years of plastic surgery show he’d been in terminal decline for years.

“His doctors and the hangers-on stood by as he self-destructed. Somebody is going to have to pay.”

Cardiologist Dr Murray was thought to have given Jackson the final injection of painkiller Demerol.

He is facing serious questions about his resuscitation attempts, which began when he started CPR as Jacko lay unconscious on a bed. Basic first aid guidance says patients must be face-up on a hard surface before compressions.

Experts yesterday expressed amazement that a trained cardiologist could have made such an error, potentially wasting vital minutes.

Additional damage was believed to have been caused by oxygen masks and tubing inserted during resuscitation attempts. But in an ironic twist, the probe found Jacko was recovering well from skin cancer — with an op to shave cells from his chest a total success.

A second autopsy demanded by the Jackson family was carried out at a secret location on Saturday after the first ruled out foul play.

Family friend Rev Jesse Jackson said the family were deeply su ious about what caused his death.

Dr Murray was hired just 11 days ago by AEG Live — the firm masterminding Jacko’s 50-date residency at London’s O2 Arena, which was due to start next month.

Sources claimed the family were preparing a multi-million-dollar lawsuit against the cardiologist.

Detectives were unable to find the doctor at Jackson’s home and his car was taken away for analysis as police sought him for questioning. He surfaced late on Friday and was quizzed over the weekend.

The Sun told on Saturday how Jacko had developed stage fright for the first time and was terrified of performing the comeback gigs.

Aides claimed the ailing star even believed he would be KILLED if he pulled out on health grounds. We also revealed he was taking a potentially toxic tail of drugs.

Sources last night said prescriptions for drugs for patients other than Jacko were found at his home. Those patients were due to be quizzed.

I am really starting to hate that jerk!

[Crookshanks]

Those "leaked" autopsy details are pure fabrication.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

This thread is too quattro-esque for me to find out if this has already been asked, but does anyone remember the Jacko on his backo SNL skit? I think Darryl Hammond was the reporter and Tim Meadows was Jacko.

My dad used to idolize this guy.

looks like jacko didn't idolize his dad. looks like he's not in the will.

[Thunder Dan]

He was a good singer, but he might have been the best dancer ever. Can you imagine someone else doing this? Watch this video, I rewind it and try to figure out how a human moves like this, it's incredible.
