Times is now pulling that story. Friend of a friendofa says he's in a coma.

We have the TV on here at the office and NBC News just confirmed as well.

This is now the big news here in the office. Everyone is talking about it. Poor Farrah - bounced off the front page.

Which, based on her reaction to the press she got while ill, is probably exactly what she would have wanted.

Just like Natasha Richardson-brain dead, coma- release news they are dead later.

:(

I still love the Thriller dance. I have no idea why. Just do.

I'm going to be sick.

Don't care if I'm laughed at, but I'm really really upset over this. He's one of my three childhood idols, and I've always had a dream of meeting him and/or seeing him in concert. I've always loved his music, and he was even one of the inspirations for me to dance.

I just can't wrap my brain around it right now. :(

DP- me too. Shed tears over this and I don't care if anyone laughs at me too. I grew up admiring him- loving his music and his dancing. I grieved over the choices he made sometimes and the way people took advantage of him.

So I'm right there with you-

Okay, time to roll out the Michael Jackson in person story. I was at the Classical Annex Tower on Sunset shopping, latish at night. In walks the man himself who calmy walks about flipping through the bins and picking a few CDs. I was shocked, said nothing and all I can remember is he had the most beautiful purple eyeshadow on over those dark eyes.

MJ is dead. Gone. Blown away.
