BULLETIN:
Michael Jackson dies at age 50

The Associated Press according to a source has confirmed the sad news that Michael Jackson, who has been known the world over as the King Of Pop, has died this afternoon at the age of 50 at UCLA Medical Center after suffering cardiac arrest.

Jackson was rushed to the hospital at around 12:30 pm Pacific Time (11:30 am Alaska Time) after paramedics performed CPR on the pop icon. Earlier reports stated that Jackson slipped into a coma; others like the "Los Angeles Times" reported the death story.

News of Jackson's apparent death came just a few hours after we learned of Farrah Fawcett's passing at 62. Along with Ed McMahon, it is already a very, very sad week in the world of entertainment with the losses of those three greats, and I'll have much more on them in a special blog tomorrow. So long and stay strong.
