Sheesh! How annoying that people would do that. And I hadn't thought, but a friend just called and she had been watching the oprah rerun and when they broke in was the first time she knew about Farrah AND Michael and she was really upset that they even SAID they had been planning to talk about Farrah but then were only talking about Micheal. I at least processed the Farrah news this morning

FYI: • ABC News will present a special "20/20" tonight at 9pmET/PT. "The Life and Death of Michael Jackson" will be anchored by Barbara Walters and Martin Bashir. Walters will then anchor the 10pm special on the life of Farrah Fawcett. • NBC has announced it is producing a 2-hour "Dateline" to "mark today's tragic deaths of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson." NBC News' Ann Curry and Meredith Vieira will anchor the tribute beginning at 9pmET/PT. • CBS News is preparing a Jackson special called "The Life and Death of Michael Jackson" to air at 10pmET/PT. I was going to tivo Fellini Satyricon on TCM, but now I guess I'll go for the MJ coverage.

I am stunned about Michael Jackson, just stunned. My heart was already hurting over the death of Farrah. Now, I am also seeing rumors that Jeff Goldblum died today while filming in New Zealand. Has anybody else heard this? Please let it be a bad rumor.

I hope Michael is able to have some peace now. Such a tormented soul. And BTW, Rev Al was very close to the family and has been for years. I expect he is devastated. There are many of us that didn't know him personally that are devastated.

Sea, I was watching (I think it was) the Fox news channel earlier and they said that they were getting all kinds of calls, etc about various other celebrities dying. Sometimes technology is a bad thing, huh?

I always had a huge huge crush on Michael and loved his music and sweet nature. This is so sad. I wonder who he designated as guardians for his kids, since the woman who sold them to him gave up her rights?

Biloxi, so far it seems like the Jeff rumor is a hoax, same with the Harrison Ford rumor. I agree, I hope there is peace for him.. and Farrah too, she's had a long haul with the cancer. Just got my DVRs re-set. Thanks, Tisha! I think I can manage to get SYTYCD and other stuff I would have recorded tonight, plus the three MJ tributes listed above, and the Farrah/Ryan O'Neal with BW tonight, plus Larry King and Anderson Cooper (who I was recording for something anyway, honestly not sure what anymore)

Am I confused?? I know there was speculation that MJ's children weren't his but was that confirmed? I thought that he always maintained it was his sperm. I just saw something on MSNBC that said he was not the biological father. Is that true?

Kevin Spacey said on his Twitter to shut up about Jeff Goldblum because he's alive and well.

ACK.. fans placing flowers for the wrong Michael Jackson on the Hollywood Walk of fame.. his star is covered by a red carpet for "Bruno" event. I'd be pulling that red carpet off..

If they were his biologically, he wouldn't have needed to marry her to be their legal father.

Watching Nancy Grace and Michael's attorney, Brian Oxman was on via phone. Very broken up said he had been at the hospital with Jermaine and Randy. There will be an autopsy, and police are at Michael's residence as part of the investigation. Oxman alluded to drugs being involved and said he had warned others they were enabling Michael. Said he will spill the beans when the time is right. If true, how sad that Michael would have gone the way Elvis did.

I wonder if his religion will come into play. I think JW are not allowed some types of medical care. I have seen Michael in concert twice back in the 80s and both times it was amazing!! I remember going to my friends house to watch Thriller on MTV (she was the only one we knew w/cable back then) There was about 20 of us, you just dont have big tv events like that anymore. I truly believe he was never allowed to be a kid and he spent his adult life trying to capture that loss. I have never totally believed abuse allegations and thought many accusers were gold diggers. A lady at work has that same skin disease, it looks so painful on some days. Its like it sheds and has new pink light skin every so often

I'm so glad you said that Pamy. I never believed anything bad about him either. I suppose I could be naive but there was always this aura about him that was so gentle. I couldn't picture him hurting a flea.

Pamy, Jermaine just spoke and it doesn't sound like anything was withheld medically. Michael's private physician was with him at the time he was stricken and immediately attempted to resuscitate him, and then the paramedics arrived and also attempted this and they worked on him for over an hour at the hospital but he was gone. Actual cause of death won't be known for weeks, probably, when the autopsy and toxicology reports are back.
