    That should of been you Perez!!!



  11. 611

    wow… im in shock, i never thought he was going to die anytime soon, i dont know what to say..
    R.I.P Micheal Jackson



  12. 612

    Seriously man, you are a complete disgrace. On every single possible level. Also, get fucked and leave forever to be never heard from again. Or stay. The point is you have shown who you are this week and people wont forget. Pathetic.



  13. 613

    Sad loss? Are you a fucking pedophile too, Fat Boy Perez?



  14. 614

    THE WORLD HAS LOST A TRUE ANGEL
    HE WAS THE KINDEST SWEETEST MAN TO EVER GRACE THIS PLANET
    REST IN PEACE MY SWEET MICHAEL
    LOVE YOU SO MUCH XXXX



  15. 615

    Perez, you're a fucking waste. First your comment to Will.i.am bit you in the ass and now you say that Michael Jackson made himself sick to get out of his London Tour. You're a real fuckstick and frankly, I wouldn't be sad if you croaked tomorrow!



  16. 616

    For those of you who claim he is a pedophilie, sexual molester, read this.

    On Shep Smith today, he talked to Uri Gellar, a good friend of Michaels. Uri told that years ago, Michael wanted to quit eating a particular food and asked Uri if he could hypnotize him and get him to quit. Uri said, sure he would try. Then Uri said that when he had him under hypnosis, he did what he described as a "very unethical thing". He asked him if he had ever inappropriately touched any young boy. Michael quickly answered, "No, I would never do that." Then he asked him, then why did you pay so much money to settle the case? He again quickly answered "Because I couldn't take it anymore." If he really did not ever do those things, a false accusation of this nature can literally break one's heart. You lose faith in humanity, you lose will to live, work, enjoy things, and then you don't work like you should, you make wrong decisions, your finances become in disarray, and eventually your body just prematurely wears down. There is no will to live.



  17. 617

    Rip, Michael & Farrah.



  18. 618

    I am completely in shock. No words.



  19. 619

    Re: RF – Amen sister, beautiful letter. I was proud to have shared this lifetime with him, and to have been a Virgo like him :)

    Seems unreal. So sad.
    RIP Michael Jackson. *



  22. 622

    that's so sad my heart really goes out to his family, friends and especially his children



  23. 623

    I am hurt by this tragic event I was one of Michael Jackson's biggest fan I am so sad right now. I can't even explain the sadness I feel about this and to die the same exact day as Farrah Fawcett, that's just plain weird and scary and also depressing as well as shocking i loved and idolized Michael,he was my icon and I grew up listening to him even now at the age of 17 he was my favorite singer and truly the king of pop even through all the tabloids and bad publicity and I don't care what some of the rest of you have to say hating on him but he is a legacy that will live on. My prayers and condolences go out to Micheal and his family and friends and all those who can't believe this tragic incident occurred. R.I.P. Michael,you will be missed R.I.P. To Farrah Fawset as well This is truly a sad day for everyone.

    Legendary! sad lost!we will keep you in our memory!R.I.P Michael Jackson! =(

    625

    ALL OF THE STUPID MOTHER FUCKERS WHO ARE ON HERE TALKING SHIT AND MAKING JOKES ABOUT MICHAEL - MAY YOU ROT IN HELL! YOU CAN'T EVEN GIVE HIM A BREAK FOR ONE FUCKING DAY. NOT EVEN THE DAY HE DIED. YOU CONTRIBUTED TO HIS DEATH. HE WAS AN INNOCENT AND YOU KILLED HIM. FUCKERS.



  26. 626

    I saw him when he was 8…on stage with his brothers. Yep, extraordinarily gifted…one of a kind. No question. Too bad for Farrah and her minions, she's booted!

    Poor Michael. Such a bizarre life. I wonder if he had a will. Will Paul get his songs back now?



  27. 627

    Re: S>A>S> – hmmm what firm do you work for and what year were you presented to work on the cases if you don't mind me asking and how many kids killed themselves.



  28. 628

    Lie-able…you are absolutely right. I felt kind of bad for you when you had your run in with Will.i.am, but in reality,you're a heartless fuck and a puss.
    You edited your initial post about Michael pretty quickly, but not quickly enough. I'm done with your souless ass.



  29. 629

    the thriller will never die… though michael jackson is no longer with us his long body of work will live in through usd and future generations. I hope that he finds the peace that I am sure he was not able to enjoy in the last few years of his life. RIP The King of Pop…



  30. 630

    Diane Dimond says that he only eats 1 meal a day if that, and partial cause of death, in addition to druge issues, will be anorexia. And you know what that does to the heart. He was pencil thin.



  31. 631

    poor tatum, lost her dad's girlfriend and her former boyfriend on the same day.



  32. 632

    dont care



  33. 633

    Re: RF – I feel for you from the bottom of my heart and this is not a time where jokes come in to play and cruel words. Nobody else went through what Micheal gad to go through in life. Nobody can judge him. (thou some people are trying to)



  34. 634

    Perez,
    Now you know that words hurt (as much as black eyes). Perhaps this will be a lesson for you.
    SHAME!!!



  35. 635

    Re: Emmie859 – #632 I think it was the attorney for the family, Brian Oxman, who is now saying the same thing to Geraldo on Fox.



  36. 636

    poor guy :/ rest in peace



  37. 637

    the king of pop has passed away, but his influence will live forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  38. 638

    I personally think drug use causes heart arrythmias later in life. This is probably what happened to him.



  39. 639

    fuck you for trying to say it was just an act. REAL classy.

    640

    OMFG, WOW. JUST WOW, I AM SICK TO MY STOMACH, UGH RIP.

  42. 642

    R.i.p Micheal Jackson x Thoughts and Prayers go out your children and family x So Sad x



  43. 643

    Re: General Disarray – You say nobody really cares? Talk to the millions of people around the world that love him and see if they really don't care. And MJwas not just a cheap sensation, not even his death. You are a heartless, close-minded homophob prick.



  44. 644

    RF

    THAT WAS LAME. ARE YOU HOT??



  45. 645

    As much as I believe in my heart that Michael molested those children, I believe this about Michael. He never got to be a kid. While other kids were playing, doing kid things, he was facing a very adult world as a child. I believe he distrusted adults and became detached from the world he lived in and drew inside himself for comfort. Once he was able to do things on his own, he tried to live the childhood he never had vicariously through the children that visited. I believe he trusted them and loved their innocence and what once was a heartfelt love transitioned to a physical love. Not because he was some demon, but because I think he lost touch with reality and the consequences attached to his alternate reality we not even an afterthought because he truly felt he was doing nothing wrong. This is a tragic loss for the music industry and on what he did in his personal life, he is being judged on that truth right now. Just my take on it.



  46. 646

    Vitaligo (sp?), the light skin ailment that Michael had is often associated with heart block.



  47. 647

    EVERYONE JUST NEEDS TO CHILL OUT!!! HE'S IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE AND MY PRAYERS AND THOUGHS ARE WITH HIS 3 CHILDREN AND HIS FAMILY!!!!



  48. 648

    arent you the one who said he was probably faking it?



  49. 649

    Re: Lie-able – Shut up you stupid son of a bitch.



  50. 650

    I am sure not all of your site viewers know about your first post on Michael's death, ad for your sake, I hope they don't! You are a walking contradiction. To talk down to Sarah Silverman for her joke, when you had posted the picture and comment that you did…..you're an ass. I hope your "followers" soon realize what a hack you are. You speak out for gay rights, and yet you use such a derogatory word to insult someone else! MARIO, YOU ARE A JACKASS! Not Perez, but YOU, MARIO!
    I am glad that the Wentzs' stood up to you and called you out! Slowly but surely your mouth is losing you what TINY respect you may have had!



  51. 651

    Now his kids can stop wearing theri masks.
    I hate to see anyone die but he was a fucken weirdo!



  52. 652

    How unexpected and terrible! I was so shocked when I found out. My thoughts go out to his family and friends. Rest in peace Michael Jackson.



  53. 653

    wow rip :[



  54. 654

    Shocked and saddened…



  55. 655

    i didnt like him personal, but professional he was the best, artist like usher trys to dance like him! you can go to the poorest town in the dominican republic and everybody knew who was michael jackson! i bet is the same everywhere. Michael Jackson go and entretain God and his angels and show them how to dance RIP
    the best of the best!



  56. 656

    You're and EFFING douche bag Perez. This after noon you blogged about how he was just faking it. Now you're all "such a sad loss" you flake! I'm with Defranco on this one. You deserve to get punched a lot harder for this one.



  57. 657

    Rumors are true that the King of Poop has died. Apparently he swallowed a handful of pills, then abruptly fell on a 12 yr old crack and choked on a couple nuts.

    Good Riddance Mikey Molestor



  58. 658

    You "sir" are a fucking dick. The entire Internet saw what you wrote, why change it now you spineless little fuck? Never heard of a "screenshot", have you?

    And you wonder why you got clocked in the eye this past weekend you piece of shit. You should have been shot. In the head.

    Come to think of it, piece of shit is even too good to compare to what you are….

    Not even a fuckin' apology for what you were insinuating…wow.
    Now that's class. Asshole.

    Do the world a favor, go kill yourself.



  59. 659

    Feel So Sorry For His Kids x



  60. 660

    For all you guys calling perez an asshole, WHY DO U CONTINUE TO VIEW HIS PAGE.



  61. 661

    Re: Emmie859 – Oh my dear, hypnotism is not real. The first time around I truly believed with all my heart that he hadn't done it because what kind of mom would not make sure he went to jail over money. But I feel a bit duped now. My mom and aunt separately tried to be hypnotized to quit smoking and when they were both done had a good laugh at it, it is a sham. I am still very sad that he died, especially for the children he left behind but the wear and tear on his body with excessive drug use and the life situations he put himself in are no one's fault but his own I am sorry to say. I do (as do a lot of people) believe that something not quite right went on with him and those children because anyone with any kind of sense, after the first incident that supposedly wore him down, would not be putting himself in situations where he was ALONE with children and sleeping ALONE in his bed with them and then admitting it in interviews. If I felt falsely accused of such a think I would never EVER be caught dead with a child without their parents or other supervision there. Regardless, it is still a very very sad day and I agree, people should not just rip on the pedophile thing or the "trying to get out of tour dates" thing. This site owner is reprehensible.



  62. 662

    I just don't get why so many jump Perez's ass for speaking the truth, all while defending a fucking child molester. What a fucked up country.



  63. 663

    Re: SoupNazi – thank you for giving your personal take on it, unlike most people you actually gave a reason to an answer, without just giving a personal opinion.



  65. 665

    I just cant believe it.

    I have always been a michael jackson -the entertainer- fan. He was a great singer and an amazing dancer. I'm in total shock.



  66. 666

    Perez I will NEVER visit your site again!!!! You insinuated that his death was a publicity stunt. You are one heartless,souless piece of shit.



  67. 667

    Although he is dead he will always live forever he is a legend and will be remembered forever RIP Michael



  86. 686

    Re: azarmadillo – #702 Oh, my dear, it is so foolish to judge whether something works or not by your mother and your aunt's single experiences. The real fact is, some people are easily hypnotized, some can't be hypnotized at all. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised that Michael Jackson would be the kind who could be hypnotized, yet, I am not able to be hypnotized. I can do self-hypnosis on myself that works however. I love how you put so much scientific faith in your bogus "research study". ROFLMAO I'll bet you voted for Obama. And you know what? He hypnotized you. You should check out the Association of American Surgeons and Physicians and their report on the crowd hypnotic techniques he used on all the gullible who voted for him. Maybe you should have someone hypnotize you so you don't continuously step in piles of shit.



  87. 687

    omfg what!?! NO!



  88. 688

    Cardiac Arrest = DEAD.



  89. 689

    Rest in Peace Michael. You will be missed. There will never be another such as you.



  90. 690

    you are such a sack of shit perez. no one on here knows what REALLY happened with the peodophile scandal, so everyone should quit the hate & start the love. He was a great performer & has influenced music for a loooong time. I highly doubt music would be the same if MJ hadn't been so great. I hope ashlee, pete, & john's crew all come & beat the crap out of you! you preach all this "love & lets make the human race better" when you yourself have no compassion or love to spread. I don't care if pete wont say you are a monster, I WILL! you perez effing hilton are the worst monster on the face of the planet. karma's a bitch & it'll catch you some day. have fun in hell.



  91. 691

    As was said. If you people have such a serious fucking issue with what PH says, then why the hell you still here reading the shit and flaking out? Move along little fucktards and get over it. Shit happens. All the children are now safe. My condolences to his family, but to hell with MJ. He was a sick ass freak child molester. For all we know he choked on his damn play-do nose when it fell off. You people act like he was god and never did anything wrong. Do you need to be reminded of the families he paid off after molesting children? Oh, lemme guess, he paid them off for the hell of it. Get fucking real. So sick of people defending the sick ass. Yes, he and his bro's made some popular songs way back in the day, and the last 25 years he has been a bonafied freak. Get off PH's ass, and take a look at who the hell you are all worshiping for god's sake. Call me a prick too, really don't give a shit. I'll be damned if I am ever gonna feel sad over a pedophile dying. The SAD thing is, is that Farrah and Ed are gonna be pushed aside and forgotten, when they are the true Icons who deserve the respect. RIP Farrah and Ed. Good riddance Jacko.



  92. 692

    Re: azarmadillo – #702, additionally, you say "Regardless, it is still a very very sad day and I agree, people should not just rip on the pedophile thing or the "trying to get out of tour dates" thing. This site owner is reprehensible."

    My dear, you say that just after you proceeded yourself to "rip on the pedophile thing." Are you really that self-UNAWARE? You are equally as reprehensible as Mario. And shame on you. Were you there? Do you know whether he actually did it or not? Perhaps you need to be falsely accused to learn a lesson yourself.



  93. 693

    uhh, are you stupid?
    Cardiac Arrest is a heart attack, and if a heart attack isn't attended to in a few minutes, you're dead.

    You are an idiot.

    RIP MJ. You'll live on fo'evah.



  94. 694

    that's sad!!! I'll miss the king of pop



  95. 695

    no, he fo sho died. Its pretty tragic.



  96. 696

    Re: Schooz – There is speaking the truth and then there is just being a giant douchebag for no good reason whatsoever. He puts himself on this pedestal acting holier than though acting as if that bitch slap that he got was the end of the world and he was only defending himself with his words against someone who was verbally attacking him. Oh…I'm sorry, was Michael Jackson in the middle of verbally attacking him when he pretended to die? If Perez Hilton speaks the truth then why did he hurry to take down the original post so damn quickly or admit that he was a liar when he said Will I Am attacked him? By the way Perez…going back to the hotel that you are BOTH staying at is not someone "following and harassing" you, it's called going back to your hotel you idiot. Get the fuck off the internet.



  97. 697

    Re: SalinaR

    Free country my ass. freedom of speech comes with resonsibilities. The fact that he MOCKS someone's demise truly shows how pathetic Hilton is.

    An Emergency Room source at UCLA hospital said Jackson aides told medics he had collapsed after an injection of potent Demerol — similar to morphine.

    A Jacko source said: “Shortly after taking the Demerol he started to experience slow shallow breathing.

    “His breathing gradually got slower and slower until it stopped.

    “His staff started mouth-to-mouth and an ambulance was called which got there in eight minutes “Butfound he was in full respiratory arrest, no breathing and no pulse. They started full CPR and rushed him to hospital.

    “When he arrived they started resuscitation, giving him heart shocks and inserted a breathing tube and other supportive measures to try and save his life.

    “He never regained consciousness.The family was told that he had passed.”
