RIP the following:

• Ed McMahon
• Farrah Fawcett
• Michael Jackson

I think Michael Jackson diddled kids, therefore he should not RIP.

He was certainly troubled a troubled man. He live a surreal life, always lived larger than his means, never grew up, died broke. I wonder when the movie comes out? A very interesting character indeed.

It would make quite an interesting movie if cast and produced well. Jamie Foxx? He played Ray Charles and that scored him an Oscar, I wonder if he could pull off MJ?

Johnny Depp should play Jacko.

More importantly, who's going to be the make-up artist. How about the person who did Benjamin Button?

and just when he was on the eve of a major comeback...

...karma?

RIP Michael Jackson, you gave more than most, all over the world. Your legend will live on and you will be missed You brought the goodness and spirit of America to some of the most remote corners of the world. You touched many lives possitively, many many more that those you are accused of hurting.

RIP Ed McMahon
RIP Farrah Fawcett

Death is neither karma nor a joke...it is the wages of our sins.

then why do babies die?


death just is

No matter how much good, it can't offset any harm to a child.

But what if he was innocent and framed by just another bunch of money grubbing scam artists that worked Jacko his whole life. Serious tragedy if that really is the case.

But I don't feel it. I think he was guilty as hell, at least in the second major case.

Tom T. is in the Jackson media circus hell right now. I'm sure he will have an opinion.

Original sin. But I don't want to get in a religious debate here, I'm no saint ....

You don't get to feel, the judicial process is what it is (obviously we all have feelings, but I'm sure you know what I mean).

Why is it that when people don't get convicted of stuff we can't just let it go? Those families are just manipulating for money and they got what they wanted, money. I will not settle out of court if someone molest my kid ... except maybe to sneak into their house at night and remove a vital organ.

The judicial process determines whether you go to jail, whether you loose rights and freedoms, how much money you have to pay.

Legal innocence and moral innocence have little relation to each other.

that's very Klingon...

Karma makes just as much sense

either way, he had a very messed up life

And now Billy Mays found dead at home, age 50.

You know, we *never* had this kind of celeberity death under Bush! ;)

maybe they're accountants showed them their new projected tax burdens

So much for celebrity deaths coming in 3's... Or is this the start of the second 3???

Robert Gibbs just addressed the White House Press corps. In a rare Sunday appearance, he wanted to make it clear that the Obama Administration inherited this climate of celebrity death from the previous administration. The many colliding factors that brought about these tragedies were the result of the failed Bush policies. Barrack Obama has pledged to end celebrity deaths in our lifetime and will soon appoint a Celebrity Wellness Czar.


Damn, I liked Billy Mays. Self-made blue collar guy who really made it big.

If there is a movie I think this dude should play MJ, He looks just like him. Or is this him?

If? Hahahaha.

Dude/ette looks like when he was vaguely identifiable as human.

Here is an article written by my friend Steve S ... who was the lead Camera Assistant/Focus Puller on Captain Eo, about working with MJ. I was the 2nd 1st Asst. on the "A" camera. I took the two smaller photos of Steve with Michael.
