Michael Jackson, the show-stopping singer whose best-selling albums -- including "Off the Wall," "Thriller" and "Bad" -- and electrifying stage presence made him one of the most popular artists of all time, died Thursday, CNN has confirmed. He was 50.
He collapsed at his residence in the Holmby Hills section of Los Angeles, California, about noon Pacific time, suffering cardiac arrest, according to brother Randy Jackson. He died at UCLA Medical Center.

I actually teared over a celebrity's death.
We youths only remember him for ridiculously dangling a baby, whitewashing his skin and undergoing terrible cosmetic surgeries. But to generations before us, Michael Jackson is a legend. He really has been one hell of an artiste.
And Perez Hilton is honestly an unfeeling creature. I can't believe he actually posted this.
