The Hollywood came to a screatching halt last night for roughly 90 seconds when celebrities everywhere took their grief to the masses. Twitter by proxy. Michael Jackson is dead.
Two Jackson friends who choose not to twit their feelings... Elizabeth Taylor. Her rep released this statement "Dame Elizabeth Taylor is too devastated by the passing of her dear friend Michael Jackson to issue a statement at this time."
And Corey Feldman. Who went on for paragraph on his blog, "I am trembling and shaking at the moment and it is very hard to type." And then announce his concert (who knew?) would go on as planned. "As far as our concert on Saturday at Universal goes. I will not cancel this show it is a very positive first step in implementing a better standard for the touring world and music industry." Jesus. That sounds important.

I am very upset that Michael Jackson passed away I personally think that he has inspired,& or touched a lot of lives. No matter what people said about him he just stayed strong and he kept his head held high. I would strongly doubt that he did that he did some of the bad things they said he did. Michael will be missed dearly and his music and kind spirit will live on. R.I.P Michael we love you oh so much!!!

GET THE FUCK OVER IT! A self-absorbed celebrity died owing over $400 million. And the national media has just about suspended broadcasts of anything else. Mikey's had his 15 minutes. Is this going to go on until he's finally planted? Hell, let's stuff him and keep the party going!

Have any of these oh so important people twittered anything about mundane topics lately, like maybe the cap and trade bill? Card check? ObummaCare? I must have missed those.

Good career move for Michael. I hear there's enough unreleased songs for 5 new albums. And now they'll sell.

Since in his last days MJ was made of plastic, I think it is appropriate that he is melted down into Lego pieces, so that now little kids get to play with him!!! Turn about is fair play!!!

Amazing how semi-literate most of these posts are.
Actually, not so amazing.

wow, someone one that list gets it more than the others, and not in a good way. Michael is with God now and no harm can come to him any more.
