It has been confirmed that Michael Jackson has passed away at age 50.  The King of Pop suffered a heart attack this morning at his home in Holmby Hills.

TMZ first reported:

RadarOnline also reported:

The singer passed away Thursday afternoon at UCLA Medical Center.  “The Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a medical emergency at 12:21 PM to the 100 block of Carolwood Drive,” Capt.

Growing up in the 80’s and 90’s, I must say I was a fan of Michael Jackson and am truly saddened by this terrible news.  Our thoughts go out to his family.

Michael Jackson Just Needs to Give Up

Be Thankful on Thanksgiving Like Michael Jackson

Be Thankful on Thanksgiving Like Michael Jackson

America is the greatest country in the world, so be thankful for everything you have! When this country was first claimed by western Europeans (away from the Native Americans), there was nothing here but beautiful landscapes and abounding native wildlife, but neither an iPhone nor reality TV.

In the matter of several hundred years, America has really has made anything possible. Minerals and metals were turned into computers, vehicles can be found via satellite, “special needs” persons can become President, and even a good African-American boy can grow up to be a psychotic white woman.

Yes, we have a lot to be thankful for!

Michael Jackson is Back – He Just Can’t Beat It

Michael Jackson VictimWell OK, he probably can… and children and monkeys are taking Wacko Jacko’s move back very seriously. According to SnarkyGossip.com, Michael Jackson is back in the United States after living in Bahrain, France and Ireland. He emerged today to confirm to The AP that he is back after more than a year in self-imposed exile following his acquittal in a high-profile child molestation trial that ended in June 2005. They also said he is on the comeback trail - planning a pair of “fan appreciation events” in Japan in March, one of which will charge $3,300 for the opportunity to meet the Gloved One.

Michael Jackson Biography

Michael Jackson was unquestionably the biggest pop star of the '80s, and certainly one of the most popular recording artists of all time. In his prime, Jackson was an unstoppable juggernaut, possessed of all the tools to dominate the charts seemingly at will: an instantly identifiable voice, eye-popping dance moves, stunning musical versatility, and loads of sheer star power. His 1982 blockbuster Thriller became the biggest-selling album of all time (probably his best-known accomplishment), and he was the first black artist to find stardom on MTV, breaking down innumerable boundaries both for his race and for music video as an art form. Yet as Jackson's career began, very gradually, to descend from the dizzying heights of his peak years, most of the media's attention focused on his increasingly bizarre eccentricities; he was often depicted as an arrested man-child, completely sheltered from adult reality by a life spent in show business.
