He was picked up at his home around 20 minutes ago -- we're told his mother is on the way to visit him.

UPDATE: The 911 call came in at 12:21PM at his Holmby Hills home in L.A.

UPDATE: A Jackson family member tells TMZ Michael is in "really bad shape" and the brothers are headed to UCLA.

UPDATE: We just got off the phone with Joe Jackson, Michael's dad, who says "he is not doing well."

Wild.
 
Just saw that. I don't like to speak ill of the dead/dying, but I have no sympathy for the alleged child molester.
 
That really sucks.

Hope he pulls through, regardless of the controversies surrounding him. Nobody deserves to die, especially like that.

...but I have no sympathy for the alleged child molester.


Even though you said it there yourself, ALLEGED ? :doh

I do feel bad for his children. They had to deal with alot and maybe they could live a -somewhat- normal life if they were brought up by someone else. I just can't stand how he covers their faces in public. It's just weird.

Everything about Michael Jackson is weird. I still stand by the theory that he died in the late 80's and was replaced by some sort of alien.
 
At least he is under some form of arrest.
 
But...he made Thriller. Thriller.

Yet another reason to hate him.

I don't have it in me to wish death/ill health on any one, so I hope he does recover, despite the fact I cannot stand him.

He's dead Jim.

We've just learned Michael Jackson has died. He was 50.

Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.

Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.

Jackson had 13 number one hits during his solo career.

Story developing...
 
Two 70's/80's icons in one day. That's pretty crazy.
 
TMZ is a gossip rag so I'd wait on that....
 

Every cloud has a silver lining. So what could be the silver lining here? They found Michael Jackson's glove today - The one that he lost during one of his Thriller concerts back in the 1980's, and the glove that made him so well known. It is going to be sold to the highest bidder at Sotheby's, so Jackson's family will not be starving for money any time soon. Incidentally, the glove was found up Boy George's skirt. :mrgreen:

Um, that's kinda the right way to put it since he wasn't convicted (though he settled OOC for a very large sum which innocent people don't do. :doh)
 
Oh my. :shock: I didn't expect that even though the report suggested ...

The truth is that most people who experience cardiac arrest don't make it, even when CPR is performed. I feel bad for his family :(

And he also did a lot of other things that innocent people don't do...like ****ing a boy up the ass!

I hope his kids will be OK. Maybe now they can live normal lives without blankets over their heads.

correct. I believe, when I lived in NY, if you had a heart attack, and you were not in a hospital already, in NYC you only had a 15% survival rate

That's a rather cruel statement. Regardless of what your opinion might be of him, the man has never been convicted of such crimes. But that's besides the point.

A legend in music and entertainment is either dying or dead. Have a heart, man! (No pun intended here, folks.)
