Am I crazy... the thought of MJ passing away is still completely foreign to me... still heartbreaking.
Well, I'm sure myself along with many of you out there watched Michael Jackson's memorial service today. I had it streaming in the background while at work but made sure to watch it on tv so to have not missed anything.
Without going into too much detail, what a beautiful service. Every speaker and performer...Stevie Wonder, Brooke Shields, Magic Johnson, Rev. Al Sharpton, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, etc... every one was vital to the day and the stories shared helped portray who Michael Jackson truly was. It was the moment little Paris broke-down when it started to finally sink in... still so very sad.
RIP MJ
Word of the cause behind Michael Jackson's cardiac arrect is surfacing and it's now speculated that prescription drugs may be responsible. TMZ reports:
Law enforcement sources tell us a BMW belonging to the doctor was towed from Jackson's home last night. Cops are looking to interview the doc. A law enforcement source says the doctor gave Jackson an injection before he died. Jackson reportedly may have OD'd on Demerol. As we first reported, family members were concerned Jackson was taking too much morphine.
According to People, MJ's family attempted an intervention in Las Vegas back in 2006 when they were worried about his dependency on prescription drugs and alcohol. Janet was on the phone, whereas Randy, Jackie and Rebbie were there in person. Michael got pissed-off and said he wasn't on drugs.
At the time of the Vegas intervention, another source close to the family blamed a Jackson aide for supplying the superstar with drugs from prescriptions acquired from multiple doctors. "[The aide] has contacts wherever they are," said the source. In addition to consuming alcohol, Jackson takes "straight morphine, Demerol and opiates like Oxycontin. He also takes Valium and Xanax," said the insider.
After Michael Jackson's death Thursday, the family's lawyer, Brian Oxman, released this statement:
"If you think that the case of Anna Nicole Smith was an abuse, it is nothing in comparison to what we have seen in Michael Jackson's life," Oxman told CNN.
Wow, I guess you really don't know what's going on behind closed doors. The fame and constant scrutiny must have been too much. And, who can really blame him!?
Yesterday afternoon, when the news of Michael Jackson's cardiac arrest broke, the LAPD closed down the N Carolwood Drive where Michael's home is located @ No.100, in Holmby Hills, Cali. The press was also on the scene reporting live.
I have just watched HOURS of Michael Jackson news and I still can't believe it. MJ was my introduction to music! At five years old, I somehow convinced my Polish mama to buy me the Thriller album (on cassette which is right now sitting next to me as I blog... unfortunately I wore the tape out but I still have the case). And at five years old I could sing every song word for word! Yup... that was me... Sesame Street and Michael Jackson. It didn't get much better than that!
This is SO devastating to the world... I still can't quite wrap my head around it... This is like the Elvis of my generation. I don't think there is one person in the world who doesn't know who Michael Jackson is... He will truly, truly, truly be missed but never forgotten...RIP.
You can see the pain in their faces as Michael Jackson's family is struck with the horrifying reality of Michael's passing. La Toya and Katherine Jackson (MJ's mom) are seen here leaving the UCLA hospital @ the same time that Michael's body was being airlifted to the LA County Coroner's office. La Toya and Katherine left in seperate cars.
Jermaine Jackson, Michael's brother was spotted moments after he arrived @ the hospital. He has released a prepared statement to the press stating:
"My brother, the Legendary King of Pop, Michael Jackson passed away on Thursday, June 25th, 2009 at 2:26pm. It is believed that he suffered cardiac arrest at his home".
Jermaine said that the paramedics and doctors attempted to resuscitate him for an hour, but were unsuccessful. The shock and dispair must be unbearable. Our thoughts are with the Jackson family during this difficult time.

It's been several minutes since we learned Michael Jackson has passed away at the age of 50. According to TMZ.com Michael suffered a cardiac arrest and when paramedics arrived to his home, they were unable to revive him.
Michael is survived by his three children, Michael Joseph Jackson Jr, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II. More news to come...
All our thoughts are with the Jackson family at this time. Michael is a musical icon that the world could never forget...RIP.
Normal??? What exactly would be normal to a guy who lived in his own theme park, had a pet chimp and supposedly owned the remains of the elephant man... remember that one? Anyway, check out Michael Jackson bearing his face! No more mask? And this comes at a time when everyone is freakin' out about swine flu?! Anyway... MJ spent the morning with his kids visiting the doctor and then a toy store before going back to the Beverly Hills Hotel for a family reunion?
Apparently since moving to LA, Michael and the family are a little more acceptable of the shutterbugs... come-on... when was the last time you saw anything below MJ's eyes... I guess it's going to take a little more time for the kids... they still seem to be living a masquerade ball life!
Perhaps this change in character is in lieu of his upcoming tour??? I admit... I would totally go see MJ! I was totally a Thriller kid growing up! It would be like reliving my youth. I don't think I'm even old enough to say that!
That's right! The bust of Michael Jackson can be yours for the low, low price of NOT WORTH IT! But for those truly interested in this masterpiece, make sure to be Julien's Auctions IN Beverly on the 22nd - 25th...also make sure you have at least $500 bucks on you at the time.
As much I hate to admit it... once upon a time, I fuckin' LOVED MJ. Who didn't! As some true fans may recall, these sweet busts are from a short movie / long music video called Ghosts... Let's take it back to 1996 and... for your viewing pleasure.... ladies and gentlemen... Maestro.
