What is it with people wanting to spread rumors like this about Miley Cyrus being dead? It would be horrible enough if this was a true story for not only her family but all her young fans and their parents who would have to explain death to their young, upset child just as it would for any family who lost a child. What a morbid rumor to spread.

Give me a break. Somebody was walking by back there and cast a shadow and now idiots are saying it is Michael Jackson's ghost. Let the poor man rest in peace.
In the United States, we have a presumption of innocence (innocent until proven guilty). Michael Jackson was tried and acquitted by a jury in 2005 of the 14 counts against him. He was found not guilty and walked out a free man. Why is he still presumed guilty?
Rep. Peter King (New York) had this to say:
"He was a pervert, a child molestor; he was a pedophile. And to be giving this much coverage to him, day in and day out, what does it say about us as a country?"
He was ACQUITTED by a jury! Who can prove without a reasonable doubt that Michael Jackson was guilty? Anybody? Not Peter King I would imagine. I find it funny that a politician has something so harshly critical to say when so many politicians have so many skeletons hanging in their closets, they probably need crowd control for all of them. If he can't respect a decision made in a court of law, a government institution, then perhaps he should give up his own government job.
The man is dead. He was a musical genius. If people want to celebrate the life of a man who was acquitted of charges, who brought them years of joy in his music, then let them! At a time when children are burying their father, I think critics should shut the heck up at least until he's at his final resting place. This man, no matter what your opinion of him, had children. If his daughter's speech at his memorial service is any indication, those children adored their daddy. Let them grieve for their father without having to worry about things adults should know better than to say in an arena where they could hear it. Would Peter King walk up to Michael Jackson's kids and say that? If not, shut your mouth.
...and it made me cry.
Seeing a child deal with the grief over the loss of a parent she obviously loved brought me to tears. Whatever your opinion of Michael Jackson, Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson obviously adored her daddy.
"Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine," she said, her tiny voice cracking. "And I just wanted to say I love him — so much."
Watching her struggle to say this and then throwing herself into her aunt's arms...we forget that behind all of the celebrity, these are just kids who have been protected as much as possible by their father from all the media frenzy. They're kids.
The live feed can be found here. Brooke Shields just made me tear up. Sad.
Read more...I'm seeing reports that OK Magazine paid about half a million dollars for the rights to publish pictures of Michael Jackson on the stretcher. I've read it is of him as he lay dying. Wasn't he basically dead at home since he was never revived unless there's a news report I haven't seen yet?
OK Magazine - that is in very poor taste, bad judgment and just outright disgusting! Have some respect! Who would want a death photo of Michael Jackson or anybody for that matter?
There were reports that while filming in New Zealand, Jeff Goldblum fell more than 60 feet to his death. I've just heard it's a hoax. People are sick.
Read more...Farrah Fawcett has died from cancer. She was 62.
Michael Jackson also passed away today. Initial reports say it was cardiac arrest. He was 50.
I heard a rumor that Jeff Goldblum also passed away today but I can't verify that anywhere. So far, it is just a rumor.
I heard a paper in Thailand, Thai Rath, published a David Carradine death photo. What? Why would anybody do this?
I write several blogs but never would I publish a photo like that. A few weeks ago, there was a photo of a girl who'd died in a car accident published elsewhere that had everybody panting over seeing it. The reports were that some sicko had even sent it to this girl's family. I don't get that. I find in disgusting.
He died (for whatever reason, he's gone). Let the family get through their investigation and grieve in peace now.
Rumors swirled when David Carradine was found dead in his hotel room...first it was suicide which was unbelievable according to those close to him, then accidental death (by auto-erotic asphyxiation) or murder. I'm thinking if the rumors are true, it is the second one which is a really sad way for a well-known, long-time actor to be remembered.
Reports are saying that he was not alone in his hotel room at the time of his death but who was with him has been withheld. True? Don't know.
According to Wikipedia:
"Erotic asphyxiation refers to intentionally cutting off oxygen to the brain for sexual arousal. It is also called asphyxiophilia, autoerotic asphyxia, scarfing, kotzwarraism, or breath control play. Colloquially, a person engaging in the activity is sometimes called a gasper. The erotic interest in asphyxiation is classified as a paraphilia in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association. Psychiatrist Joseph Merlino stated that it meets the criteria for a disorder "because it has the potential for lethality or serious injury."
You might remember, Michael Hutchence, lead singer of INXS, was also rumored to have died this way.
My thoughts go out to David Carradine's family regardless of the final report on how he passed away. With over 100 feature films behind him, he should be remembered for his lifetime of work, not his last day.
Yesterday, the son of Little House on the Prairie's Michael Landon, Mark Landon, was found dead in his home. There isn't any evidence of foul play but he was only 60. Health reasons perhaps?
Michael Landon was a favorite of mine as a child and it was very sad when he passed away in 1991. Now his son has passed as well.
Here is the article in the L.A. Times.
Ron Silver, who has been fighting esophageal cancer for the last two years, passed away in his sleep early yesterday.
Once a Democrat like most of Hollywood, he became a "9/11 Republican" after the terrorist attacks on September 11th and re-registered as "Independent".
According to a Yahoo news report today: "In an interview with The Associated Press a month later, Silver said his support for the war on terror was costing him work in liberal-minded Hollywood."
I guess the freedoms that so many have fought and died for don't apply if you belong to the Hollywood set. If you don't agree with the very liberal minded Hollywood-ites, you have to take your toys and go home (and get blackballed from acting jobs?). Hmmm...that makes me wonder how many Hollywood-ites are actually left-leaning liberal or are just pretending to be in order to remain in the good graces of the powers that be. That's really a shame since their celebrity gets them the sound bites in the news that so many (too many?) people see and hear. Hopefully, Americans don't form their own political opinions based on the "far from reality" Hollywood-ites who aren't a part of mainstream America.
Well, it seems as if the rumors about Rihanna and Chris Brown are true. They are back together, apparently staying at Sean Combs' (P. Diddy, Puff Daddy...etc. etc.) home with pics of Chris Brown enjoying himself on a jet ski. Whatever. A man does that to you what the police pictures show was done to Rihanna, you don't go back to the jackbutt. I won't be buying either one of their CD's for my kids...not good role models.
There were three suspects in an alleged Travolta/Preston extortion plot to the tune of $20 million that has to do with his son, Jett's, death. How sick are people to do this to a family in mourning? People disgust me.
For my views on the media concerning the death of Jett, check it out here.
