Michael Jackson has passed away, multiple media outlets are reporting.

The singer suffered a cardiac arrest Thursday afternoon and was rushed to the emergency room.

When paramedics arrived at Jackson's home, he had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.

Such a sad loss, especially for his three young children.

    I also saw your original post and I can't believe your dumb ass still doesn't learn. What the hell is wrong with you??? You are such a piece of shit. Now you should "apologize" to everyone for saying it was a damn ploy just like you keep "apologizing" for getting scared after u got your face pounded in for being a douche. A la verdad que le das mal nombre a todo los latinos pendejo. Go ahead delete this like you did my other posts… truth hurts.



  7. 407

    A legend…an icon. I feel like part of my childhood has been ripped out of me.
    There will never be another Michael Jackson. You are loved and you will be missed by the entire world. I love you Michael. May you rest in peace.



  8. 408

    i am really sad that michael jasckson died i feel like cryin



  9. 409

    I'm sad he died. Don't think he had a simple life.

    To the ones insulting perez hilton because of his work or because of how he's earning his money, they should be ashamed of how they verbally articulate themselves. If you don't like what he's writing, why are you even bothering reading his page or signing in here to leave comments? Yeah, too much interesting stuff here. Wouldn't miss that, huh?

    I'm from Germany and I really think there don't even exist as much of abusing words as many of you are using here.

    You can defenitly see on what level of cultivation your live is playing by the way of your expression. Think about it, who is the better one?

    Greetings

    Re: imsoregistered

    Thanks for the math bud. Also, well aware of the word Cardiac Arrest not to be used lightly but just like anyone else - Free Press. You can say what you want about someone regardless of what the reader thinks. Although it was 14 years ago as your brilliant mind pointed out this is LaLa land we are refering to on a gossip webpage. They showed him getting CPR? And it was a picture of Michael himself? If its the picture thats floating around you can't see his face so relax buddy



  11. 411

    now his kids don't have to wear burkas

    412

    gutted, a true legend!



  13. 413

    My condolences to NAMBLA.



  14. 414

    I agree with you Perez, ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT— A BIG FUCK YOU!!!! HOW DARE YOU TAKE AND USE THAT LAST PHOTO OF MICHAEL!!!!!! YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THE ENT. INDUSTRY!



  15. 415

    Re: KatVonB*tch – I know re read my post I did not say he is dead yet. I said he was relieved it was not him that was the third to die.



  16. 416

    im so sad about this i dont know what to think :(



  17. 417

    It's so sad :-(
    lots of love from Sweden



  18. 418

    You were amazing Michael, truly an artist. You were my favorite, no one will come close.



  19. 419

    This is heartbreaking news. Michael was a great talent and a human being that so many times was misunderstood. He doesn't have to suffer anymore or worry from day to day about anything….God bless his family…Bless the chilren that they can go on with wonderful memoris..R.I.P. Michael



  20. 420

    I pray his children get to go with their mothers



  21. 421

    Re: andre.lempickiWhile I agree on the cosmetic surgery - his skin condition is real. My husband and his grandmother both had it. It's especially noticeable when skin is scarred. After illness, his grandmother lost a lot of thick skin and ended up porcelain white. My husband's is only where he's been scarred and in areas that would normally be deeply pigmented are the opposite. He did have that condition. Bleaching does not do what happened to his skin.



  22. 422

    fuck you perez



  23. 423

    im kinda psyched, no one else?



  24. 424

    yea!!!!!!! no?



  25. 425

    You dont hear about him at all and then he dies



  26. 426

    May god rest his soul.



  27. 427

    I'm thirty and everyone from my generation must be in as much shock as I am…I remember listening/dancing to my parents MJ vinyls when I was liiitttllle…rest in peace, MJ– :(



  28. 428

    Re: Twilighter0818 – YES, so what?! He changed his fucking post so shut the fuck up! No one cares anymore!! Someone just died, grow up!!



  29. 429

    Now I understand how folks felt when Elvis died. I literally shed a tear on the ride home this afternoon. All of the radio stations were playing tributes. Part of my youth has died. Regardless of the present, I grew up with this man. Jackson 5 - I was in kindergarden. Jackson cartoon - I was in the 3rd grade. Off The Wall - junior high. And to this day I remember racing home from my first full-time job to see the premier of Thriller on MTV. Damn. I'm old. And he was too young to die.



  30. 430

    If you're "just in" cardiac arrest for more then 5 mins your pretty much done for sorry….



  31. 431

    Fuck you Perez For not having a bigger out reach to Michael's fans.

    He is the king of pop and one of the founders of today's culture which you owe every bit of success to.

    You need to applaud the man. He deserves it



  32. 432

    NO-ONE CAN HURT YOU NOW MICHAEL
    R.I.P. MY SWEET ANGEL
    YOU WAS THE MOST AMAZING, KINDEST, SWEETEST MAN TO EVER GRACE OUR PLANET,
    I WILL MISS YOU SO MUCH
    MY HERO XXXXXXX



  33. 433

    Micheal :'(

    He had such a sad life. It's all so tragic. I rewatched Moonwalker a couple of months ago. He is completely amazing in the Smooth Criminal music video. No one moved like him, no one ever will…



  34. 434

    Re: wooly If you were actually so "aware", then your first comment was moot. So which are you lying about?



  35. 435

    Re: LG HEARTS THE POSSE! – LG! Good to see you! You have been missed!

    Muah!



  36. 436

    R.I.P. Michael, music will never be the same !



  37. 437

    I remember "Right On" magazine, Jackson 5 cartoons, Soul Train, etc.. I was born in the sixties, so it was all the rage. My prayers go out to his children and his family. Though not by some, he will be missed.



  38. 438

    Its so weird all in one day 2 LEGENDS have died! One of them the little boys loved and the other one, loved little boys!



  39. 439

    by now he must have found the truth and hopefully start to finally enjoy peace, ia never liked him but thank him for his music, which ushered my teenage, young adult and adult life! RIP Jacko!



  40. 440

    I'm in utter disbelief that the reigning King of Pop has passed away! :( I vividly remember listening to him all the time in my childhood years, jamming away with my fake guitar to "Beat It" and "Bad." A fan or not, this is an extremely sad day for the world. Let's remember him and the beautiful Farrah Fawcett with kindness and love today, and for always. May they both RIP.



  41. 441

    I was having a great birthday until I heard MJ died thanks for ruining my Birthday Michael



  42. 442

    This is SO sad:( Especially when you think about what a sad life he's led… May he rest in peace…



  43. 443

    thats mental my best friend told me and then my mom came up to my room crying im like oh dear god! say whaaa!!?! wow, thats horrible.
    r.i.p
    and god bless



  44. 444

    so incredibly sad!!



  45. 445

    RIP. He is like Elvs, he is immortal.



  46. 446

    GOD BLESS HIS SOUL…………might he rest in peace….the KING OF POP has died…..idol to millions upon millions of people around the world and the entire galaxy. might GOD give his sons peace and strenght to live the rest of their lives. ARE you happy now perez?……you were telling people to start asking for a refund on their tickets….you were saying that this could have been easily a ploy to delay the concert. are you happy now? no wonder there is a guy whose screen name is dieperezhiltondie



  47. 447

    hope this is not real !!



  48. 448

    I am so sad. even though he had such a rough time in recent events, he will ALWAYS be the king of pop and an ICON! no one will be able to take that away, i just wish he didn't have to die at such a young age and leave his young kids. so sad RIP michael.



  49. 449

    I'd seen MJ in person four times and met his family numerous occasions. He was nothing like the press wrote about, and not much like the public believed. Very humble, sincere, gracious, kind, and giving. More heart and talent than anyone else in the world. The world will never know what was just lost. Rest in peace, Michael. Thanks.



  50. 450

    I'm actually crying about this. T_T



  51. 451

    Wow, Perez how dare you make such horrible accusations. It seems this past week your true self has been "coming out of the closet." Oh wait, you already did that! I really hope that you reevaluate the type of person you are and the type of person you want others to see you as because you are a despicable human being. I can only hope you lose everything, go bankrupt and end up sitting on a corner holding a sign that says "will work for food." You are a useless human being!!!!!!!!



  52. 452

    Perez, what kind of low life are you???? You've been whining like a little bitch about your tiny cut and now you post this shit???
    You wont be able to go out in public soon - you'll have that many people lining up to give you a decent smack in that self satisfied mug of yours. You are truly disgusting.
    .
    .
    To MJ Fan - you were the first person I thought of when I heard the news. To you and all the millions of Michael fans my heart goes out to you and his beautiful 3 children on this awful day.



  53. 453

    R.I.P
    that's all i can say. all controversies aside, he was a fucking legend.
    music would not be the same without him



  54. 454

    Perez, how does it feel to make a complete ass of yourself? Insinuating that he was faking an illness to get out of his tour? U r disgusting, heartless, and was goes around comes around…it's called karma.
    R.I.P. MJ….u were a true entertainer.



  55. 455

    He was fifty years old, and that's such a young age to die at.
    I feel so bad for his children.
    RIP, Michael, your legend will carry on.



  56. 456

    I am so shocked by this. It's hard to even believe…I guess because it was so sudden?? He was like one of those people that was seemed almost 'mythical,' so news like this is just so hard to believe.



  57. 457

    Fucking Perez….. I hope the Jackson family sues your ass for those defamatory remarks that MJ was faking this to boost sales…. then you tell people to get their money back. Fucking douche.

    MJ was truly a musical visionary, and will be missed.



  58. 458

    that is saddd. :(



  59. 459

    i still can't believe it. what a tragedy…



  60. 460

    while we all know what he's been accused of you can't ignore the fact that his childhood was as screwed up as none of us could ever know. I'm not saying that excuses his behavior however his legacy can't be denied. If he had people around him that actually cared about him rathr than his fame and money who knows what wonderful things he could have continued to give us. I feel sorry for the children and for a brilliant mans life cut short. Addictions comes in all forms but often stem from the same place. not feeling loved. his parents failed him.



  61. 461

    I DIDN'T BELIEVE IT AT FIRST.
    R.I.P
    today is so sad. first farrah fawcet and now fucking michael jackson.
    one of the last living LEGENDS



  62. 462

    I am in shock! The world lost a great artist, a great performer. No words to describe his talent. What a sad day. I hope his soul is comforted by the angels in heaven.



  63. 463

    We lost an angel and the king of pop all in the same day. Goes to show that death doesnt care about celebrity.



  64. 464

    MORONS he won't get sued because he changed it once it was confirmed. CNN has confirmed it, BTW, how sad. I don't blame Perez for saying it was a stunt when I first heard it today I thought it was a stunt too…I mean the KING OF POP DEAD who can believe that. So sad may he and Farrah RIP they are better off now and Jackson is at least free from the slander he was put through in this past decade.



  65. 465

    so sad.



  66. 466

    Don't try to pretend that that's what you originally wrote.

    You're just digging yourself in a deeper and deeper hole.



  67. 467

    Re: General Disarray – I hope you die



  68. 468

    Wonder if it was due to the stress of the upcoming tour?
    I never liked the guy and odds are he diddled little boys, but all the same I hope his 3 kids find peace. No one deserves to lose their father.



  69. 469

    kinda random ………… very very very unexpected



  70. 470

    im crying he was an amazing wonderful living lengend.

  71. Punki says – reply to this


    471

    he probably saw mario naked by accident and it was too much.



  72. 472

    mama say mama sah mama ma poo sah



  73. 473

    Re: Singer32 – After *all* other news sources sadly said it was true, CNN was still futzing around and waiting for confirmation.



  74. 474

    awww the king of pop is bye bye
    its sad



  75. 475

    Some people say comma, others say he might b ok, but the news says he's dead.



  76. 476

    HOLY SHIT



  77. 477

    I am shocked. R.I.P King of pop! show some respect people. Also,
    RIP Farrah and Ed…the last few days have just been depressing. Death truly comes in 3's



  78. 478

    So sad! I will pray for him ad his kids…



  79. 479

    I hope his children are alright. Imagine what their new lives will be like. I wonder if they'll be confused by not having to wear masks & those type things.



  80. 480

    Wow he sure stole Farrah's thunder and she died with dignity, grace and with reason. This is a prime example of someone not taking care themselves Cough Anna Nicole Smith Cough… and then everyone is shocked!! I'm sorry for his loss but not surprised….maybe a little that his girl Liz outlived him.



  81. 481

    Check out MJ's official Youtube page. It shows MJ as an undead zombie:

    www.youtube.com/michaeljackson



  82. 482

    REST IN PEACE, SWEET SWEET PRINCE.



  83. 483

    I said to my husband about a month ago, "Betcha he dies soon" and he laughed at me. Unfortunately this isn't an instance where it's okay to say told ya so cause it's so effing sad. Hope he rests in peace, a lot of people were on his case in life.



  84. 484

    You know lately I havent been coming to this site much. As an intelligent individual I just have to question the mentality of Perez and the school girl junk you report…I can list them but there isnt enough room. Today, Farrah actually got a report from you, I had to flip to TNZ to actually get some news. I think you should pull your thumb outta your ass and do some reporting if thats what your getting paid to do I`m so tired of white smeared noses and crotches of celebrities…I could paint lots on your sorry ass. I wont be back here because just the lack of respect for people is undeniable let alone printing crap that someone is "faking" to get out of a show when in fact a toubled icon has died
    O-Mya is outta this cheesy joint



  85. 485

    Yano Perez, I think some things you say make sense and are hilarious, but I read you MJ post before you knew he was dead- and it was discusting. A heart attack isn't a joke and your post was really insensative. A legend has died, and shouldn't be shadowed by his nagative private life- weather or not half of the stuff he did was true. He changed so many peoples lives and was so much more than a musician, so please keep your private opinions to yourself. RIP Mj - cuz hes never gonna be forgotten.



  86. 486

    This is such a big lost for the pop music! Many will miss the KING OF POP!



  87. 487

    Goodbye King of Pop….



  88. 488

    That's so sad :( Rest In Peace My King ;( [*]



  89. 489

    i guess he stopped when he got enough! rip mj



  90. 490

    His lawyer is saying he was abusing prescription drugs. He probably couldn't take the stress of the "comeback" so he OD'd instead. So sad.



  91. 491

    I never post or make comments on any "gossip sites" because I believe it is not worth my time. But I felt the need to do so right now because I think that you are the worst person alive. I really never minded reading/visiting your site because I think it's funny at times but man, you are soul-less! Do you think that by advertising not-for-profit groups and such, you'll balance your karma out? I don't know how you sleep at night, you heart - less, ruthless, piece of something unmentionable. If I were you, I would shut up and wake up to the reality that you DO NOT MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE IN ANY SHAPE, WAY OR FORM. I pity you.



  92. 492

    The King forever - R.I.P.



  93. 493

    wow. some16th birthday.



  94. 494

    r.i.p michael

    We Love You Michael for ever
