Wow. It's been a hell of a week! I got to Adios Ed McMahon and then I lost power. I heard Farrah Fawcett finally died but didn't get to really pay attention to coverage because a giant huge horrible thunderstorm hit my house just as it was announced Michael Jackson died. It was very Wizard of Oz-ish. Or... The Wiz-ish? Hmm. Anyways, let's not forget Willy Mays too! Then out to dinner Sunday night I got a twitter from the Brittney Spears camp saying she died. The girl next to me almost completely had a break down. "It's too much! It's too much!" (Brittney is fine, her account was hacked. I was really surprised by the passionate response by the visitor from NYC)
So let's recap, I think its a good thing Farrah died. She was sick as hell for a super long time. It's a good thing that suffering ended. And she got to get away from Ryan O'neil who seems super sketchy. I was so pissed when he came out and said they were going to get married (announced just days before she died) Way to milk that press fucker. Too little too late. Why not do that when she GOT sick years ago? Whatever, it just seemed weird and slimey to me. Gross.

Now about MJ. Wow. What a shocker! I mean I think it stands to say that he's shown symptoms of being sick, mostly mentally but some physically as well. The mental part is what gets me because that's been coming through for years and no one ever seemed to have tried to force him to get help because trust me, they could have done it legally I think. (Except apparently for Lisa Marie.) So I feel sad for him that he was so sick, mentally, and was just allowed to go on that way. What a completely miserable existence he must have had. I read an article at www.vanityfair.com with someone remarking that every since the Pepsi commercial when his head caught on fire, he was never the same. Totally True. Apparently that's when he got hooked to pain killers.
And good lord someone keep Joe Jackson away from those kids. Otherwise we'll have the Jackson trio out in no time. How creepily non affected was he in his interview with CNN? *shiver* Janet was fantastic at the BET awards though. The kids are living with Katerine and Joe does not live there, btw. Thankfully.

CNN just twittered that Michael Jackson's body is being moved to Neverland Ranch for a public viewing. THAT is going to be huge. Can't wait to see the coverage. Also, they literally twittered two seconds ago that a will from 2002 was just located. We'll have lots of drama today.

There was a scam going around that one of the kids came forward from the molestation case and said they lied. It's proven to be most likely false. However, if they were lying for money (good odds) I hope they feel horrible and MJackson haunts them every day for the rest of their lives.

There were ALOT of celebrities responding to his death. My favorite was Lisa Marie's blog over on Myspace. (Definitely check it out) Dame Elizabeth's tweets were quite moving to that poor woman. And my least favorite was Corey Feldman's. What a fucking douche bag. Nice three paragraph plug you fucking idiot. (My favorite response was when I sent it to a friend who loved it so much she wanted to have it tattooed on her back. Haha just as a testament to his douchebagginess.)

I do want to say though that ET posted a picture of MJ in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. So, basically of him dead. That's gross and tacky ET, coming from me who adores celebrity gossip. Tacky, classless and gross. The man has children. (oooh though the mama did come out and say they totally weren't his - sperm donor - but they are legally)

Speaking of the kids, the oldest was apparently standing next to MJ when he collapsed and seen everything that went on with all the CPR and everything. That'll leave a mark. Having MJ as a dad to begin with will leave a mark and then that on top of it. ugh. Guess we'll find out in about six years when he turns 18. I wonder which kid is going to write the first book.
