UPDATED: Michael Jackson Dead at 50
UPDATED: TMZ reports that Jackson is dead.
PREVIOUSLY: KTLA News is reporting that two hours ago, Michael Jackson was taken to UCLA Medical Hospital after a 911 call indicated that he was not breathing and had suffered cardiac arrest. More information to come, but for now, the full news story after the jump:
LOS ANGELES -- Pop star Michael Jackson has been taken to UCLA Medical Center by ambulance suffering from cardiac arrest, fire officials confirm.
Los Angeles Fire Department Captain Steve Ruda said paramedics responded to a 911 call at Jackson's home around 12:26 p.m. He was not breathing when they arrived. The paramedics performed CPR and took him to UCLA Medical Center, Ruda says.
It's unclear what he was being treated for or what his current condition may be.

Hey everybody! It's me. Stop with all this commenting stuff. I'm okay. This was all a media hoax. I needed the publicity to kick off my new album you dummies. I'm not finished taking your money and charging $500 a seat for my fabulous concerts. Okay then, that said my album will be on sale at CDUniverse.com on July 14th. Buy it or I will stop breathing for real. I think I may be serious. And, hey McCartney, screw you. I paid for those crappy songs. Gotta go. By for now. XOXOXO Michael
If any good can come from this:
1. Michael is finally at peace from all the persecution, scrutiny and harassment of this world.
2. His kids won't have to worry about this again.
RIP Jacko. I will miss the silk pajamas, surgical masks, glitter glove & crotch grabs. You were a prime example of what irresponsible parenting and global fame can do to a person.
Fly with Peter Pan. "Shamon."

The vultures are already there, look at them....
Michael we love you back here in West Africa. May your sould rest in peace.
Well said
We will miss you.
NICE COMMENT & FUN.
THE FIRST ONE CHEERING THE MINDS UP. LIFE GOES ON FOR THE LIVING..
Bleached his skin? That's like an "Old wive's tale"...
He had a skin condition...read about it...
Uh, that would be 4...David Carradine was the first..
So - WHAT happens in 4's?
...or are we going to experience another...2?
Whatever he has done, just forget that damn. Now we need to give a big farwell to MJ...The Legend. We lov u Micky
Could we please ban “PAUL MCCARTNEY”? (the commenter, not the real one) He is like the annoying kid at the birthday party who tries to pull the Disney character’s head off to prove it’s just a guy in a suit. I always hated that kid.
"Vitiligo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Michael Jackson was diagnosed in 1986 with vitiligo and lupus; .... Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue (integumentary system) (L, 680-709) ..."
HMMMM...1986...maybe before you were BORN?
Thank you. Never knew that. Media had it to pills and chemicals.
That kind of sorts it out.

I'd be totally fine banning the real one, too.
Anyone taking bets as to what member of his "loving" family sues his estate first and also what "loving" family member is going to be raising those poor kids? 🙁 (note loving is in quotes people!)
Long-time lurker, first time poster. Who the hell are all the people here today? And why will no one say it shoulda been Katherine Heigl?!
Actually I've traveled to Thailand before, it's an incredible place. I myself would want a summer home or something there. Don't shun a place before you've been there yourself, seriously. And one detective found that Carradine's death was merely an accident [an extreme form of sexual pleasure that went wrong...].
But anyway! The point is the world is losing more legends as of late, I myself find it a bit odd... But even still, Michael Jackson will be fondly remembered.
Old No. 7 is drunk from despair.
Uh, what is your problem? Show a little respect for the deceased. And don't wish death upon another person. Learn some manners.
The 1st 100th comment on Defamer??
King me baby!
