Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett Pass Away

She was a model and actress and one of the original Charlie's Angels, from the 70's tv show.

Yes, very much so a shock but they all die young I guess. Isn't it ironic that too much love can kill you? I mean the public loved him so much and he had so many fans that he was under all that stress. Even if it was the overdose that killed him, surely the stress contributed even a bit.

Just makes you realise that anyone can die at anytime. You really don't know. But his death has somehow brought the world together.

I'm going to be a complete ignorant idiot now but I've never heard of Farrah Fawcett. I mean no disrespect, I just personally had never heard of her. But that's probably because my head is under a rock somewhere.

In the 80's yes. Before he earned the name Wacko Jacko.

This is Farrah:

Great pic! Best selling pin-up of all time there!

Thought the same thing about Farrah getting overshadowed. She was so adorable, and I strangely loved her and Ryan together, despite his problems.

Can't for the life of me remember it exactly and it'd probably take forever to find, but somebody on Twitter posted a bunch of a celebs who died on the 25th of any given month and it's crazy how many have.

Michael's true fans never stopped loving him and I hope he knew that. It's just a shame that it is not always shown until someone dies.

I think nobody deserves to be called 'Wacko', especially in such a public way. He was obviously distressed for years over all the controversy, I don't know how he coped for so long.

^ I saw this interview of him once and he was saying how he doesn't like to be called 'Wacko' or even 'Jacko'. He said he was a human being, he has a heart and it hurts his feelings. And then he said, 'please don't call me wacko. It's not nice, it hurts my feelings'. But the way he said it was so innocent and heartfelt I had tears in my eyes. So sad

That is really sad bless him. I was talking about him loads with my mum yesterday, and it always makes me sad to think that we 'took' loads of amazing music for him, and really he was just a sad lonely man thats how i think he was anyway. he cant have been happy. Apparently his git of a father used to call him ugly every day and beat him when he was younger

i guess fame can drive everyone a bit mental after a while, he had it his whole life. But i dont think he ever had it in him to abuse children like that, he didnt even like people swearing cos he was proper christian and that, its like saying, mother teresa went on a drive by shooting with the other nuns ya know, its ridic!! he just always seemed like a really quiet, polite, well spoken man. awww gawd im gonna cry

Well said Heather. I don't think he did either.

To be honest, being religious doesn't stop things like that. There are fairly vicious rumours going around about priests.

its all about rumours though innit....rumours dont mean it actually happened (gary glitter excluded..<ehem>)

Just because someone is religious it doesn't make them a better person. I'm sick of Christians and others thinking they're sooo superior to everyone else. I'm an atheist and i still have morals of what is right and wrong, probably the same views as most Christians.

Guilty or not, child molestation charges are nothing to be taken lightly. The man was NOT a saint. Its disgusting to see everyone claim he is when 90% of these people were probably down his back a few years ago calling him a pedophile when the case was going to trial.

Its not like Jackson was a targeted celebrity. He wasn't known to be an asshole so i doubt someone would make up rumours for money. He was a very respected man at one time. He was always in massive debt so its not like they'd be making too much money out of him by making up things.

I just feel for the kids. It was obvious as the sky is blue that he was not their biological father but now their birth mother doesn't want anything to do with them either. Its the kids who are truly suffering in all of this.

I completely agree with both of you and I have never thought he could be so cruel, because I believe music and a voice that beautiful would never come from an abuser.

Michael for a long time had controversy and rumours thrown at him. He was also a very private and caring person, which is why people could get away with saying anything. Please don't think his accusers didn't get any money, he gave them millions of dollars. If it had really happened, in my heart, I believe they would've done everything they could to stop Michael, but as soon as they got the money it was all over.
