How could you possibly not want to hear every detail of how Michael Jackson died and lived!?

I thought he was probably still going to be dead today. Fingers crossed for better news tomorrow, hopefully things will improve a bit overnight?

I find it quite hilarious that the site consists of just the word "NO", but the site author puts a copyright notice in the footer. As if all the time and effort put into the site has some amount of worth.

I think I'm going to copyright the dump I took this morning.

15th December 1944.

Is it a coincidence that all these celebrities died so close to one another? I think not!

Someone planned for this to happen.

Is Michael Jackson still dead?So far. But there's been another Elvis sighting. You don't hear about those as much anymore, because they gradually stopped being funny. Somehow, reality TV and "fake" shows about ghost and UFO hunting seem to be more entertaining.

Elvis was spotted in a piece of toast.

Last place I saw Elvis (http://unicycling.smugmug.com/gallery/2479379_sYvr4#130075738_HAwHH)

Karl Malden (http://www.latimes.com/news/la-me-karl-malden2-2009jul02,0,3058236.story?track=rss) How many are we up to now? Would these non-household name celebs even be getting mentions in the media if we weren't still on a dead celebrity kick because of MJ?

You see, for me, Karl Malden was someone I remember watching, where as Michael Jackson was just a pop star with a controversial life style. The news is for all age groups.

Mollie Sugden has gone now too. How many celebrities are now left?

[MuniAddict]

You see, for me, Karl Malden was someone I remember watching, where as Michael Jackson was just a pop star with a controversial life style. The news is for all age groups.Malden was a great supporting actor long before his Television work. He appeared in so many great films, like "On the Waterfront", "A Streetcar named desire", Birdman of Alcatraz, The Cincinnati Kid, Patton, and many, many more (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001500/)! He lived an unusually long (97) life.

RIP.

[drumstuck]

Good grief! This started as a trickle, then it became a flood and now I don't think it's going too far to describe it as an avalanche.

An avalanche of coincidental celebrity fatalities. An avalanche people...

True, but Karl Malden is not a household name even if many would recognize his work. I recognized the face but not the name. Whether they care about him or not a heck of a lot more people know who Michael Jackson is.

Ryan Jenkins, the man who allegedly killed Jasmine Fiore, has been found dead. Here (http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Accused+killer+Ryan+Jenkins+found+dead+motel+police+confirm/1922414/story.html) is the article. His death brings to an end an international manhunt for him. I wouldn't normally post this, but he was found dead in the tiny town of Hope, BC, where I live! Weird! I had been out practicing my driving, and realized there was a lot of police cars around a motel. When I got home, my brother told me that was the hotel where Jenkins killed himself!

This is the first interesting thing to happen here in a long time.

[Peripatet]

Ryan Jenkins

Who? Oh, I see

Jasmine Fiore

Who? :D

[SirSkillz]

Who? Oh, I see



Who? :D

I'd actually never heard of these two people until a few weeks ago either, but it made big news because he snuck across the border, and people thought this guy was going to kill more.

Some Americans thought the Canadians would shelter him, so I thought that was funny:D

I just I found out about fellow Canadian Sarah Burke who died Feb. 19 from injuries from a traning crash. When she came on the free skiing scene ~ 15 yrs ago I had been into women who did sports especially "extreme sports" and I paid special attention to anything I heard of her. Although I haven't paid much attention to skiing in the last few years because of my uni obsession :o

I heard about it because while listening to the news just now, they told of fellow canadian Nick Zoricic who just died from a bad crash. It was during a race he was in in Skicross at the World Cup.
