According to TMZ, Michael Jackson suffered a heart attack at his home and could not be revived by paramedics on scene. He was 50 years old. Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince “Blanket” Michael Jackson II.
R.I.P. Michael.

He’s giving the most ROCKIN’ concert that Heaven has ever seen. Everybody up there is dancing tonight.
What a STRANGE person. So conflicted with gender, ethnic identity. And all kinds of people have been robbed of their childhoods by having to work hard, or loss of their parents.
I’m one of them.
But I RELISHED maturing and growing up and there was NOTHING that would make me want to try to keep retaining a childhood that so colored my view and way in the world. If it was SO negative for MJ, why was he so regressive and inappropriate around and to children?
He was only a week older than me.
One thing I know for sure, and always suspected because of how he’d disguise his children in public:
There is NO WAY he’s the biological father of any of them.
They are beautiful kids, no doubt. But they in no way resemble him and the Jackson family looks are distinctive throughout the younger generation.
Nope. No. Way. Is he the bio dad.
Even stranger is, obviously plenty of celebrities have very well publicized adoptions. So NOT being a biological parent isn’t a big deal.
It’s MJ by inference or implication that he was the biological father is too weird.
Off putting, really.
Stuff like that, and I would have loved to give him the benefit of the doubt.
But where I live, too many celebrities would do terrible or creepy things and it was only a matter of time before they really hurt someone. No matter how well known their behavior, they were enabled over and over and over again.
I’m not surprised MJ bought it like this. He’s been anorexic for years, and has abused prescription drugs.
And he’s obviously just one in a long list going out exactly the same way.
I hated the way he treated his children with those masks and so on. To say nothing of that stupid business dangling his youngest over a balcony once.
The Jolie-Pitt’s are a big as stars as can get too, but they manage to not treat their children that way and they have twice as many.
I grew up with Michael Jackson. We were close in age and he WAS a tremendous talent.
But he got older and couldn’t go with the times, mature or relate to what adults in the business have to do. His act, although iconic, got stale. To say nothing of his looks being hard to pin down.
A shame really. But there ya go.
