RE: Deaths in the Entertainment World


Hmm... Please letīs keep this thread clean of controversy. The last thing we want is mourning Michael Jacksonīs fans accusing us of slander. Iīm sure you understand, edit. Thank you so much.

Lisa Maria told 2 times different things about MJ's "pedofilia"...
once, that "she saw things but couldn't do anything"
another time "MJ is totally inocent"
I suppose Nic has his reasons of separatinf from her, too:P:)
But anyway! Lisa was with two kings: king of pop and king of actors

It is sort of eerie as "they" say "death comes in three"...

* Farrah Fawcett, 62 - died in the 9am hour on Thursday, June 25th
* Michael Jackson, 50 - died in the 2pm hour on Thursday, June 25th
* Billy Mays, 50 - died in Florida in the 7am hour on Sunday, June 28th (Billy was best known as the infomerical pitchman best known for selling Orange Glo, OxiClean)

Eerie... very eerie...

When these things happens, it's a wake up call for the rest of us to stop pussy footing around and to live every day of our lives as if it will be our last.

People!  If there is something in your life you know you SHOULD do........then DO it! Before it's too late.

Easier said than done, I know!     But at least those who DO try will go into the next realm of life peacefully KNOWING they did the best they could with what they had when their time is up.

From last year, a lot of artists were dead. That makes me worried :(.

The King just passed away...

Well you know, Fawcettīs death saddens me more than Jacksonīs, but itīs only because Iīve played the Charlieīs Angelīs game zillions of times with my friends as a kid.

At least one of these deaths is remotely connceted to Nic, and not only for the most obvious reason youīre all thinking about. Just read it in the highlighted paragraph here:

Apollo Theater billboard honors Michael Jackson as fans do moonwalk, gather in Times Square

NEW YORK (AP) - People moonwalked outside the Apollo Theater, where Michael Jackson performed as a child, and texted their friends from around Times Square on Thursday to spread the word that the King of Pop was dead.

A low groan went up from a crowd outside Times Square as a JumboTron screen flashed the news that Jackson had died in Los Angeles at age 50. People pulled out their cell phones to alert their friends.

"No joke. King of Pop is no more. Wow," Michael Harris read from a text message a friend sent to his phone.

"It's like when Kennedy was assassinated," he said. "I will always remember being in Times Square when Michael Jackson died."

At the Apollo, where Jackson first performed with his brothers at age 9 in 1969, the billboard was cleared for the message, "In Memory of Michael Jackson. A True Apollo Legend."

Outside the theater, the Rev. Al Sharpton, a friend of Jackson, spoke to a crowd of people who were clutching the singer-dancer's pictures, playing his music and trying to imitate his signature moonwalk moves.

"Way before Tiger Woods, way before Oprah Winfrey, way before Barack Obama, Michael did with music what they later did in sports and in politics and in television," the civil rights leader said.

Sharpton, who also knew James Brown well, said he remembered how Jackson called him in the middle of the night to ask to view the soul legend's body after his death in 2006. He said he last spoke with Jackson a few months ago.

"He talked about how many people had let him down," Sharpton said, "but I told him it didn't matter. He had never let the fans down."

About a dozen people danced outside the theater to Jackson's music, with a boom box blaring "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough." Traffic stopped in front of the theater while cars honked.

The diverse crowd of youngsters, old folks, blacks, whites, Latinos and Asians looked like a microcosm of Jackson's worldwide fans.

Kevin Crute said he would remember Jackson's music and dancing over controversy in his life.

"Who hasn't tried to do the moonwalk?" asked Crute, 44. "Who hasn't wanted to try on a white glove? He had kids from all over the world trying to wear that glove."

Levon Kennedy said he was driving when he heard about the death and felt he needed to get out of the car and dance.

"Instead of mourning Michael's death, let's celebrate him," Kennedy said.

In Times Square, throngs of people stared at the giant television screen and chatted with friends about the news.

The Madame Tussauds wax museum moved actor Nicolas Cage's statue from its front window and replaced it with one of Jackson, in his red "Thriller" jacket and black pants. Lines of young men stood in front of the window snapping pictures. People paused briefly to smile at the entertainer's image.

Iddos Abagaro stood quietly. The Ethiopian native recalled singing Jackson's songs before he learned to speak English.

"He transcended cultural barriers," Abagaro said. "His music inspired many Africans growing up."

Arthur Murray refused to believe Jackson had died.

"I won't believe it until I see it," Murray said. "He's so well preserved. He can't die."

Just before a performance of the musical "The Wiz" at Manhattan's City Center, a loudspeaker came on and announced, "We would like to dedicate tonight's show to one of the world's most inspiring artists, Michael Jackson." The crowd cheered.

Jackson played the Scarecrow in the 1978 movie based on the original Broadway musical, an African-American take on "The Wizard of Oz."

(Note: The Wizard of Oz was directed by no other than Francis Coppola)

Jackson was truly an artistic GENIUS but an obviously troubled soul.  Tis a shame he's gone.

Fawcett........was an icon and from all reports a truly wonderful woman.

Both of them touched millions of lives in their own ways.

May both rest in peace...........

Yes Omm... its so sad.  Michael Jackson suffered a cardiac arrest.  Reports tells us he was dead when paramedics arrived to his home.  He was rushed to UCLA medical center but he was already gone no.

This posting has nothing to do with Nic but I thought I'd post since both personalities were icons.

Former Charlie's Angel Farrah Fawcett - dead at 62

The King of Pop Michael Jackson - dead at 50
